Children do not choose their diet. If a kid becomes fat, that is entirely the parent’s fault. Childhood obesity is a form of abuse.

[@mickieboo8987]

Absolutely the parents fault

[@emmadeleon3520]

Dark Rainbow dang this hit me hard because my real birth dad abused me and my mom he cheated on my mom and I would cry for him then growing up I got sick and got surgery then from there I got overweight I’m still overweight but I have nothing else to do my mom trys to help but sometimes her words don’t make me happy at that same time I have mental heath issues because I’m on and off I tried to kms once because I didn’t like the way I looked but now I’m growing the confidence in my life so I can try to get myself there and I will try to go on a diet and be the girl in my dreams the skinny girl I would love to be😔

[@SuperFosterMom]

This is what my mom did to me. Thanks to my EATING DISORDER I developed when I was 12(!) I made myself lose the weight. But I wish the boys who bullied my constantlyabout my weight knew it was child abuse

[@anandastar2330]

Exactly! Totally on the parent(s).

[@llallogen7380]

@@emmadeleon3520 I hope you're well and continue to improve in your mental health. It can be so hard, especially because obesity can mess with neurotransmitter release. Stay strong! As far as specific diets go, that can be hard to maintain on a bad day, particularly when mental health is suffering. If that's an area of your life you start working on in the near future, maybe starting with small alterations to your current diet would be the most sustainable. Much love.

[@tungtran4201]

I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. kzbin.infoUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. Thank you for your video it's time to make a change.

It like saying, “hey kids watch what you eat or you’ll look like this.” It’s depressing and sad. I understand obesity is bad, but humiliating someone to get that point across isn’t any better.

[@smeckledorffed1120]

In order to be on my 600lb life you have to do a shower scene because it illustrates the circumstances these people are in before they attempt their new weight loss lifestyle. Showering is so normal to average weight people, and scenes like this are included to show you how being morbidly obese changes every single aspect of their lives.

[@Azumari20]

Smeckledorffed im what most would call morbidly obese, 292 lb and 4’10”, however I shower like anyone else. I stand and shower, can reach everything, and don’t need help. Plus a lot of time this show makes it seem like these people are more miserable then they really are.

I come from a broken home too but you have to just get beyond it and live life to the fullest. My mom would still be alive had things not happened the way that it did..but theres nothing that can change what has already happened. I just refused to be miserable. I never ate my life away. Being a Christian means knowing that I will see them again one day in heaven. Stuff happens. That's life but you cant let it define you. These women are miserable but they are the only ones who can change their life. Period. If they only knew what they were missing..getting married, having children..happiness. They are trading a life they could have, for food

[@misscookiemonster2915]

Purple Cabbage Very true ❤️❤️❤️

[@user-nm3oo4wx1f]

Purple Cabbage you come from a broken home, but not the same one. I think what Parys means is to have a level of compassion and understanding because not everyone is the same. Even siblings growing up in the same house come out of childhood pain with completely different lives and degrees of coping. Don’t use your pain and how you’ve dealt with it as a universal standard by which to judge others. Not everyone is the same, nor is their hardship. Even the smallest factors can have the biggest difference of outcomes. Surely your life isn’t perfect. How would you feel if someone looked at a flaw in your life/you and say, “Well, I had a bad childhood/hard life and I fixed it and never ended up that way. Why can’t you?” The thing with the ‘Only you can fix your life’ motivational crap so many people sell to you is that yes, while it’s it’s true to some extent, it also promotes an individualistic idea of how people get help. Not everyone has the resources and knowledge of how to help themselves even if they’ve decided and tried with all their might. Like one of the previous commenters point out, the mother was criticizing them for eating pizza WHILE buying them McDonalds. This is the support they have. If YOU didn’t learn your mental strength, determination, and decision-making skills from home, it must’ve been learned from other role models. Maybe they never had one in their lives to guide them. I know you mean well, but sometimes we should recognize the hidden problems of well-meaning motivation and encouragement. These girls need help, not for someone to point figures and say “You did this to yourself and you threw a life away”. Even if you did it in a very kind way (for which I’m glad you did) , don’t you think they already know?

[@B_Bodziak]

@@user-nm3oo4wx1f Truer words have never been spoken. Im not saying this was done in the comments here, but I don't understand why some people try to one-up each other on who had the worse childhood experiences. That's why I had to quit going to one group therapy I did in my 20's. People don't realize that almost every single interaction we have in childhood, especially birth to 5 yrs. old, usually shapes our entire lives. Being held and comforted 10 extra times in the first year of life can have a drastic impact on so many aspects of a person's personality. Those brain connections & patterns are in place LONG before we are even consciously aware of "what type of person am I?" Everyone's point of reference is so different.

It got so bad the girl started looking for someone to murder her dad and finally she left the house and started living with her big sister.
