[@lessehead]

So you get help long before you get to this wt, especially when you’re ruining your kids lives. It makes me so angry to see this, when I have had debilitating chronic pain from 2 different diseases for the last 39 yrs, for which there is no cure. I have endured multiple excruciating surgeries, procedures, implants, you name it, and it only gets worse. I wish I had something that I could fix with hard work. I would trade places with them in a heartbeat.

[@happycamper1372]

People think that normal sized people don’t love food. When really the case is they just tell themselves NO. People make choices and not everyone likes the consequences so they come up with 100 excuses. These over eaters are the most self centered people on the planet, I say that because they pull others into their behavior and it’s all on them to stop the insanity.

[@dosidicusgigas1376]

​@lessehead it takes a lot of tenacity to get through something like that, especially over such a long period. I was an addict & I agree with you 100%. It can be fixed with hard work, unlike chronic pain and diseases. Ive never considered addiction a disease, only time I hear that is as an excuse for being "powerless" despite making the conscious decision to abuse drugs, overeat or whatever.

Good for her, I’m glad she stuck at it, but her son can’t get his lost years as a teenager back. I’m often wondering how people who eat as much as she does can afford food and a decent place to live. Who is paying for that? You shouldn’t be on a disability pension if you can make yourself better. Society shouldn’t be paying for her to be shovelling food down her throat. I’ve had over 130 surgeries yet worked all of my life.

[@possumbold]

@@joannedibben2352unfortunately, her son can’t get his childhood back, or his teenage years playing basketball and goofing around with friends and looking at the pretty girls.

Sad thing is, you don't need to damage someone's whole life in order to completely ruin it, in fact, if you put influence in them long enough, eventually it's going to be unfixable. And trust me, six years are enough for that to happen.

[@mandynicole10]

Food addiction must be so hard because unlike drugs and alcohol you actually do need food to survive so you can't just take it away. I can imagine its incredibly hard.

[@buzzzzzz69]

I believe that's what makes alcohol harder to tackle in some ways too. Fortunately alcohol has never really been my poison of choice but i suffer its consequences like everyone else simply bcz it's so integrated into our social lives & almost always readily available. My daughter was injured by a drunk driver so I'm sure the reasons for my attitude will be obvious. (She's OK now) I don't know about The States but in Australia- until the last decade or two- it was like we always had an overall pro alcohol situation where if you didn't drink you'd find yourself being called a "wowser" (meaning you're a party pooper essentially). Of course the peer pressure on men was probably much worse than for young "ladies" but that changed in the 1960s. I got to the point where I just didn't want to go to social events, even family gatherings, bcz there'd often be a guarantee there's always that one person who drinks too much & says or does some damned thing that ruins everyone else's day/night. I'm so glad awareness of the dangers of booze are now a priority for a lot of governments worldwide, even if it is simply bcz they know it will save money in the long term. Especially when it comes to consumption during pregnancy.

[@mandynicole10]

@@buzzzzzz69 yeah I completely understand that. I'm a recovering alcoholic myself and it's definitely hard because it's still so ingrained into society. If you don't drink people look at you differently. I avoid social events altogether because of it. Even with Christmas coming up I've had to not go to certain places because I know alcohol will be involved. Its definitely frustrating at times.

But she put her son through an additional 5 years of her weight going up and down, up and down, and skin surgeries and recovery and she even had a period of pain med addiction followed by detox. She put her son through that chaos of living with a drug addict too, on top of what ended up being 11+ years of his life stolen by her selfishness. No idea what's up with the son in 2023, but last time he was on tv with Pauline he was extremely overweight himself. At least +100 lbs heavier than depicted in this video.

As a carb and sugar lover, I can relate to how much they love fast food and unhealthy snacks. I gained from 65kg to 87.5kg during 2019-2023 Aug. As a 165cm Asian female, I am overweighted. On Aug 14, I decided to seriously lose weight because I want to have baby in the next 2-3 years. I barely eat any carbs and quit all the snacks and drinks for my first week, lost 4.6kg. Within 2month, I lost 12kg. As of today, I am still 75.2kg but I no longer crave for food especially fast food. Changing eating habit is the most important thing for losing weight. It is not as hard as we thought and the result is quite encouraging. I will keep going and hope people who want to lose weight will join me to this healthy journey ❤

Carbs and seed oils are the problem. Seed oil was designed for lubricating machines, sealing wood and as a cheap lamp oil. Then they convinced us it was actually food. Grass, grains and processed sugar have only been in the human diet for a blink in human history. Yet the Adventist cult food industry tells us that should be the base of our diet. There is no such thing as a healthy whole grain. It all turns to sugar in the body.

oh hey, we’re similar builds! I am 164cm and SE asian. Heaviest weight was 93kg back in early 2022. This morning I weighed in at 67kg. You’re doing amazing!! I have to agree with building the habit first before anything. Losing weight is a mental game and on some days, motivation isn’t enough. You have to completely change the way you think and function through good habits. Good luck! Don’t lose the weight too fast. Also, if you find that your weight loss plateaus, eat carbs again for a few weeks before going back to low carb (women respond really well to low carb diets but it messes up our hormones. this might also be significant if you want to have a baby)

I hope you're still doing well and that you're at or close to your goal! I'm proud of you for making that first step and choosing to work on yourself, you're amazing ♥

[@salutlatcheam]

It made me so mad when she talked about "no other solution than fast food on the road" yes there are, vegetable sticks, homemade salads, whole fruits, pasta salad even... Its not that she couldn't, it's that she didn't want to.

[@DAJ2000]

I always wonder how they pay for that much food?

[@Noodleydoo]

"There's nothing but fast food around so that makes it tough." I lived in Houston for a year and that is an absolute lie. Houston has more decent restaurants than any city I've ever been to, even more than Austin where I now live.

[@smustipher]

They could have brought along a bag of fruit for snacks, packed sandwhiches, pop corn, etc. Fast food is NOT the "only option"

[@iamjessie.b]

LMAO when she weighed in and the nurse said “uhh you went up” and she went I don’t need the details 😂😂😂😂😂 the nurse is me she rolled her eyes so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that part took me out! Babyyy smh

[@pmc8119]

Ten minutes of "joy" for a lifetime of misery. You ARE ruining your sons life! Sadly, if he's not careful her Son will head the same way. He's your 15 year old Son, not your husband!

[@sugacoob8735]

I think that.. a mother who can admit she’s in the wrong? There is always still hope. I see too many parents pulling a victim card, so this is just giving me hope that she’s capable of something

[@matheusturarodrigues8937]

Yeah, apparently she lost over 400lbs

[@megaworldbuilder4369]

1:28 I am SICK AND TIRED of people who know they are intentionally hurting people they love, yet all they say about it is “I’m gonna keep doing it”

[@possumbold]

‘I don’t want my son to find me dead’. I’d say that’s the only time she considers him. ‘There are really only fast food shops around’ you’ve got a fecking kitchen!! Her son shouldn’t be in the position of being a carer as a boy. ‘I can’t get healthy options on the road’, she never eats healthy options. I don’t understand. I haven’t been able to eat because of surgery for disease - I had to stop eating and can only have hospital formula rdrinks. I haven’t eaten for 7 years so I can’t really bear the moaning about it. I certainly would inflict my problems on my son. She’s stealing his life from him. She really thought she could stuff herself with fatty food the whole time and get surgery without trying?!

[@SahajPS]

Stop stocking your homes with drink, chips etc. If you have them within your reach you will definitely eat them especially during midnight.

[@matttherrien9608]

My sleep medicine makes me want to sleep on a full stomach. Thankfully, I'm down to 190 after being up to 240 several years ago.

[@hockeyguy9974]

“Please don’t let me wreck” like she’s a NASCAR driver going full send into turn 4 on the last lap of the Daytona 500 lmfao

[@yolandacervantes6926]

She should ride her scooter all the way to Houston 😅

[@carrie-td4bt]

What does she mean by possibly ruin his life she is taking his life away from him everyday he has to wait on her.

[@vivianfoster702]

Behind every 600 lb person is an enabler.

[@lisatroni677]

The son needs to be careful to not end up like his mum

[@sammerham]

7:45 “there’s mostly just fast food around so that makes it tough” why not prepare food from home??

[@moodycat1]

Her poor son!😢Taking away that electric wheelchair would do wonders!

[@quantomic1106]

Everybody loves food. Not everybody has discipline.

[@cherylcalogero3330]

I'm sorry but I can barely look at her without feeling nausea.. And what she's doing to her poor son!

[@guardians3004]

I do feel bad for her son because he's the only one who takes care of her and i believe that he doesn't have to care for her but it's important that his mother should be getting physically active so she can lose weight and regain her ability to walk without the wheelchair. Excess fat can really do damage to your body and it's only going to get worse if you don't take action fast to burn it.

[@cognus3372]

He could've just not got her the junk. The mother was absolutely abusive though.

[@Sammy2phones]

Food can provide temporary pain relief. It doesn’t last long once you stop eating. Sweet and salty foods will give you a dopamine hit as well. Since she’s in pain from being overweight, she’ll want to keep eating to alleviate that. It’s a feedback loop that obese people can get stuck in.

[@johnwilburn]

She has to eat fast food because she can't get in and out of the van, but says nothing about how she takes bathroom breaks. So gross to live that way.

[@callmetito]

Perfect video to keep myself on diet.

[@alexxia575]

She’s the worst of the worst. He needs to cut her off. She’s going to eat herself to death. And he’ll be left with the baggage.

[@susandymock769]

Her son is heading in the same direction. He needs to get away.

[@Shindashi]

How do these people support this lifestyle and moving from place to place?

[@jesuszubizarreta]

😢 sad addiction issues. I hope she can turn her life around ❤

[@voice2skull.]

😂😂😂😂 SHE can't even turn around.

[@BingQiuSupremacy]

She did, she has lost over 500 pounds. This episode is 10+ years old. TLC is still profiting off her

How does she reverse the psychological damage to her son?

[@mayjailerxx]

@@miryamamar9471poor boy is gonna need intense therapy and external help with forging his own independence. On top of harming his mental health, being his mums full-time carer certainly stunted his growth.

[@miryamamar9471]

@@mayjailerxx Sadly her son is morbidly obese. I doubt if she cares.

god bless you , I hope you find the strength to get out of this prison xx

[@genevamckenzie9608]

She was also on Supersize vs Superskinny, love that show!

[@oliviaricci2918]

"There's no good options on the road" bs, she's just making excuses like she has her whole life to keep eating what she wants and her poor son is so manipulated that he can't help but just go along. She's killing herself and her son, and it's sad that he's almost looking forward to her death so he could be free

[@wishlistmm]

Following her son to the grocery store on a mobility scooter is pathetic.

[@dcc-randomstorieswithmel7424]

At what point do you say no?she cant walk,i would think that would be a reality check

[@elizabethstack8694]

I despise this woman. She is devouring her son's youth. I hope Dylan escapes this ghoul.

worst part is her habits making him fat a well

This is so sad. I completely understand you're addiction to. Food I hope you get better hun ❤❤❤

[@artinabunny1359]

Heres the thing, many people believe that healthy food isnt delicious, so as she said she loves the taste and texture of unhealthy food, but what people dont get is healthy food can also be very delicious, you can easily make yourself a really delicious big burger, use good meat, onions, lettuce, pickles, you know? Healthy food can be delicious just gotta make it right and anyone can do that
