The Truth About Why I'm So Fat

Due to some of the negative feedback these videos get, for this ONE video, I'm turning off comments. I really don't think it would be constructive to do otherwise. Sorry about that.
in this video I talk about my weight loss success and fails over the past 4 years that I've been 'trying'. I hope this gets you caught up on whats what and helps you understand the situation. maybe it will even help make you have more success in your life.

Boogie sent me a tweet just over a year ago when I was on about 5k subscribers. Encouraging me saying I was great, I'm now on 100k and I have to say thanks to him. One of my biggest inspirations. Good luck with your battle Boogie! Always supporting you mate. TG

I know this video is a couple years old. I too have PTSD and chronic pain from spinal stenosis and a few other spinal issues. I get the flashbacks/triggers, depression and crippling anxiety. I've finally went to a doctor to get some pills to sleep, nightmares, auditory hallucinations and night terrors were very common. I started to see a counselor and soon a nutritionist. I was told by my counselor that because I've had long term PTSD that my metabolic system is just messed up. Something to do with cortisol (took my sleep pill an hour ago and it's kicking in, I'm a bit loopy) so I know how much of a struggle it is already, alone with PTSD to eat well and stay motivated when triggers occur. I think it's awesome you keep trying. I also would like to tell you about two things that have helped with my back pain and has given me some freedom back. Not sure if you heard of it but the Quell pain relief device. It seriously works. I also buy fancy shoes (they are not pretty, just help with the back problems) called Kuru shoes. Life changer! Not kidding. I'm nodding off to sleep but yes, saw this video, watched it in its entirety and want you to know, what you did took a lot of courage and also to keep at it. Even some progress is better than no progress at all. zzZZ night.

[@wickedclown4451]

Boogie I hope you see this, to anyone who told you these "serious videos" suck. Fuck them. Man I've had a really bad week. On June 1 2015 at 1135pm, my mom passed. And I didn't get to say good bye cause we were 10 mins too late. Boogie, your videos really speak to me. When I'm sad I'll watch Francis rage and get a good laugh, But when I need a good point, I watch your serious vids. I NEED these type of vids. I was so depressed after my mom passed. She was a good woman. And I wanted to end it all. But a few days later I got the woman of my dreams to say yes, and long story short, for once in my life, I have a woman who cares about me. My fiancée. I'm a very big guy myself. I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't stop these kind of videos, cause I'm sure a lot of us need these videos, but are to scared to ask. Keep up the good work boogie. Your a role model for a lot of us. We love you man.

"I do everything I fucking can...every single day..." As a fellow survivor, man that is exactly how we all feel inside. I carry my service dog (Captain America) with me E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E. To the movies, to the grocery store, to the endless doctors appointments thatll never go away, I am hounded and tortured every day when some ignorant person asks me what my dog is for and blah blah blah, while im just trying to run to the bank. It is hard being a survivor in this world of, just willful ignorance. Im so happy I found this guys page when I was bedridden and couldnt walk, he got me to learn to walk again. His struggle isnt new, we all have our own, and if you havnt, find a community that talks back when you talk outward, that helps immensely. Typing this was a dread because my injuries created a Learning Disorder and I forgot 70 percent of my vocabulary. I taught myself to read in prison and was very proud of the countless books I read. JUST to have someone tell me in passing that they would love to be hit by a car "pay me!" yeah...after the medical bills, youll be lucky to afford a mcdonalds sandwich.

[@erinvandalay4764]

You are such a wonderful guy. We all have our struggles, that's what makes us human. Something you might want to give a try is what they call "intermittent fasting", a lot of people report huge progress with it. You basically pick a time frame of when you will consume your calories...so out of a 24 hour day, if you decide you're only going to eat between say 3 and 7pm...you end up fasting the other 20 hours, and if 8 of those are spent sleeping, it helps a lot. The theory is that's how we ate a long time ago anyway since we had to search for food. The nice thing is, you don't feel restricted because you can eat what you want in the hours you pick for your time frame, you still try not to go over a certain caloric intake, but you don't have to be too strict. Anyway, keep up the good fight. You're an awesome person.

[@nateblumberg4419]

Erin Vandalay I really works I didn't and lost 250 pounds

[@erinvandalay4764]

nate blumberg​ That's so good! Great job 😊😊😊. And yep, it works! You don't feel like you're missing out on food because you literally can eat what you want in your time frame.

[@erinvandalay4764]

Timku San I'm sure it is deeper than just eating...you're probably right. Low testosterone, too much estrogen, low thyroid hormones, a predisposition to a certain body type and a problem building muscle mass which basically is a huge part of your metabolism...could definitely be an issue. He mentioned that he has a problem with over eating, so I just thought it could be a different tactic for him to try.

[@timkusan4370]

Yeah, I know, but everyone's body is different, and some fitness experts actually suggest muscle can waste away faster if you go to bed on an empty stomach, as that's when your body is most active at making repairs. Your diet is a great one, and it does work, but if his inability to make muscle has anything to do with having some of the ectomorphic body type qualities, this diet may do more harm than good for him, but it's good we commented with our knowledge between the both of us, because he can read our comments, and talk to his doctor making informed decisions. :D Thanks for your inputs!

[@erinvandalay4764]

And I don't speak from an educated point of view? Get off your high horse. You can easily look up intermittent fasting on KZbin and will find many body builders or even regular people who turned their life around for the better because of it. No dietician is going to recommend it, because, again...they are taught outdated information. Just look at the recommended daily allowance for things like vitamin D...the RDA is well below what has been discovered is actually beneficial. You seem like a know it all. The guy is really struggling so I suggest something that has helped many people...and you have to chime in with some nay saying. Get a grip.

[@Jpat0]

+TheBraveGoat This is bullshit advice. At his size, it will take him 10 years if he follows what you're saying. One pound or half a pound is not a victory. This is one of those moments where you're trying to be helpful but you're doing the opposite.

[@Jpat0]

TheBraveGoat lol. Good luck

[@Ranger1812]

+Jaze Cinema So there's no coming back? As if. Every time he does something that helps his body, it's a victory. You sad, little people who try to make him feel as though there's nothing left are despicable. He fights harder than you ever will, every single day. So shut your stupid, little mouth. Boogie is a true champion. Don't you dare try and take that away from him.

[@Jpat0]

***** I know what he said and you can see what I said. Thanks. I'm guessing both of you have been following him for a while. In that time, he has been on Supersize vs. Superskinny, he has multiple support from his subscribers... you would think this would help him. He is seriously ill and has zero self control. Even on the show he ate something over 1000 calories for ONE meal. When, the max he should eat is 2000. You guys think you're being supportive but you're not, at least not in the long run. I've worked with people his size with all sorts of personalities. Anyways, like I told him... good luck to you.

[@Hotchefmice]

You arent alone Boogie, i too have dealt with abuse. My family treated me like i wasnt blood, my father faked his death when he heard my mom was pregnant just to come back when i was 12 to break my leg and leave me out in the woods to die, or make me play russian roulette with myself, my brother molested me and my mom blamed me for what he did despite me not knowing what sex was when i was that age, but enough about me, this is about you, we love you and your content man and no matter how rough things get just know that we are here for you and me, ill be here as long as your channel is up.

A lot of people (including me) would miss you! You are one of the kindest, most honest and funny people on YT. I hope you can beat your demons or at least be able to live with them.

[@garym9117]

I love that this video was uploaded 7 months ago and still gets new comments from people being uplifting and kind. I hope as long as this video exists people continue to post these kind words and be encouraging to Boogie and all those struggling. I thought I had more problems and more pain than one person could comprehend. I thought after 4 unsuccessful suicide attempts nobody could truly understand why I've done what I've done over and over. Then I watched this video and it really is absolutely amazing. My heart goes out to you, Boogie, and to all the people out there taking life one day at a time. No matter how big or small you think your problems are, just know that there are people who care about you and what you're going through. If you read this and you're struggling, know that I care about you even though I don't know who you are and I wish you the absolute best. Never ever stop trying

[@A_Ducky]

+Gary B I thought same as you, but one day got pissed off at all that life threw at me since I was a kid, horrible things I don't wish to write here.... and I said to myself that if I could go through all that, survie a war, and spend 10yrs bedridden from an incurable illness (can't get 3rd surgery because it's very expensive) - I'm not gonna kill myself out of sheer fucking principle! I just won't. I may still think about it, but I won't. When times get rough, I play music, or read, or watch a movie, or talk to friends on FB (those are my only friends, real life ones bailed as soon as I got sick). Life is made up out of little things, and if each day I get even one laugh . . . which is doable, even for me in my pathetic state. . . then I'm gonna keep on keeping on, even in neverending constant fucking unbearable pain that makes me want to smash life and everything in it. But suicide wouldn't really hurt me (much), it would hurt and permanently scar all those around me. And surely, even though some are bad at showing it, there are people who love us and who would grieve (maybe never be the same, as my mom or husband, for example). Inflicting pain on me, psh, that's not a big deal... I live with it every day and I've forgotten what it is like to wake up without pain & be able to do even simplest things such as make yourself coffee (others have to bring it to me, same as meals, or I'd starve). But inflicting pain on others, I can and will not do. I don't know what your reasons for the 4 attempts are, but I see some real hurt as part of those reasons, just like I have... even though it probably stems from different sources, but inner pain is inner pain. It can be worse than the physical pain (believe me I know both, I live them both). But please don't do it. If you need to talk, sometimes it's easier to tell stuff to a stranger, msg me. Or find some support in your friends. Or collect tiny bit of happiness in each day (it can be anything, as small as a laugh or as big as making a new friend for life (friend who understands). Psychiatrists & meds don't help me much, and it's laughable how out of control my mental illnesses (big plural) are . . . but one HOUR at a time, I can't even do one day, it's come to hours with me. No platitudes about getting strong here, just DON"T DO IT. After all you've been through, fuck, isn't the time for GOOD stuff to start happening just around the corner somewhere? It must be, I believe in that... even though I have absolutely no reason to. Music & books help me escape into a different world, find something that does that for you, and above all - tell your story without shame to someone you trust, or even to a stranger like me who will listen and possibly help... but at the very least will understand. Sorry for the long post, but these are not kind of things to be said in one-liners. Stay well. And don't forget, my offer stands, even though I much prefer talking via FB than here. Let's share stories, and help each other out? What do you lose, and you might gain a friend, who knows. YOU care about Boogie... I care about YOU... and Boogie, and every person that is going through shit or has been suicidal due to life throwing curveball after curveball without respite at us forever, and each is worse than the previous - until one day we begin to think "fuck it, it's not worth it anymore, I'm checkin' out. But it's selfish and NOT a real way of solving problems. I'd much rather GET BACK AT LIFE and all it has done to me, by NOT giving up... no matter how hard it is each second, of each minute, of each hour, hurting days and sleepless nights.

[@garym9117]

Ducky Ghouleh I really appreciate your post. And don't worry about the length; I'd much rather have a long read than no replies at all. Honestly, the causes of my pain are pretty widespread so it's hard to pin them down even when trying to sort through my own thoughts. The things that I'm comfortable sharing (since you were kind enough to share some of yours & in case anyone else going through similar problems reads this) are severe anxiety that's kept me from leaving my house for months at a time; OCD with intrusive thoughts that caused me insomnia; emotional and sexual abuse over my life; being stabbed in the back by family and friends; having the only person who ever helped me and understood me tell me they decided they don't love me anymore and leave after a 4 year long relationship; and a host of medical problems such as debilitating eye pain that almost cost me my career. My heart goes out to you for all the things you did and didn't list in your comment because I can't imagine what it must be like to go through so much of that. I'm honestly very lucky that my life is as good as it is in general because I know it could be worse. I definitely didn't list any of those things to garner pity and I know you didn't either in your post. I'm sure you'll share my sentiment that I wanted to give some details in hopes that somebody else out there could find some comfort knowing they aren't alone. Thank you for opening up about your struggles and for the kind offer you gave me. I might take you up on it some time if things get bad again. And know that I extend the same offer to you and anyone else reading this. One thing I've always promised myself is that given the chance, I would never turn down an opportunity to be there for somebody if I could possibly help them. And your outlook of at least fighting to get back at life is a good way to look at it. It really sucks that we can get to a point where we feel that way, but it keeps us fighting nonetheless so it's not all bad. I've always strayed away from using the term 'selfish' to describe suicide as hearing that always made me hate myself more when I was debating, but I do see your point. And I definitely agree that it's something that can and will hurt other people far more than we think. I hope this wasn't too long of a ramble, but reading your words made me want to share some of my own thoughts as well. Again, thank you so much for the offer you made me and the story you told of your own struggles. I sincerely hope things improve for you soon because some of us have definitely suffered enough for one lifetime. As I said in my first post - never ever keep trying. And as long as you're willing, keep sharing your story with people because it really helps others like me. Have an awesome day and take care

[@A_Ducky]

+Gary B Thank you, for every word!!! (I used that term, even though I dislike it too, only in the context that it would hurt others). English is not my 1st language + my laptop keyboard is shot, my thoughts disconnected (pain) - so it's very hard to think just now, or write. I'm only able to stare at your post, because it gives me hope in humanity, and your kindness is overwhelming & very nice to hear. I'm glad I posted, even though I'm a huge chickenshit as far as sharing my life publicly (I could NEVER do what Boogie did). Problem is, I have so much to say just now in reply, but I don't have the energy to do it. Literally. (Now I look at the length of this post & laugh at myself. Be prepared for some really disjointed rambling). There are no excuses or self pity in my posts, no lies, just me. I behave same way online as in real life, because this has become my only contact with human beings. And I keep meeting people that have gone through VERY similar things (some of them exactly the same) as we have. There are more of us, but some are like me - afraid or embarrassed to share publicly. I didn't even mention half of my issues because I can't do it publicly, but at least I can these: panic attacks, night terrors, chronic migraines, thyroid issue, fibromyalgia, osteopenia (due to a specific hormonal shot they gave me without explanation at the start of my illness, while it was still undiagnosed - I had to beg for a diagnostic surgery for a full year, but i was lucky, as the average time for diagnosis of Endometriosis - which is what I have & what's causing chronic pelvic pain - is 7 years!! Neither of the 2 surgeries helped, and the 3rd will cost SO much, but I'm gonna try to get it somehow). There is more. So much more. Such bad stuff that I don't have the courage to share it publicly, but you have mentioned certain things in your last post that have happened to me also. At least you still have a career. I lost mine (civil engineering), and a baby, and real life friends, and everything in life except husband and mom (who's 78, I'm 39). I watched my life crashing about me since I was 29, and wondered why I ever survived that war, why was this happening - just when I made something of myself, having come to this country and started working at 17, fought SO damn hard to get a decent life (not luxurious by any means). I don't think I deserved it, and I'm not religious to say things like "God never gives us more than we can carry". That's bull, to me it did. Apology to all religious people out there, I do respect all religions (as long as they're not being shoved at me constantly). As Ozzy says in one song: "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". Your post was not rambly as this one is, that's for sure. I originally just wanted to write this upcoming paragraph, as I'm really having a bad day. But sometimes words (even detached & "jump from unrelated topic to another" ones) just pour out, straight from the heart. I can't help it. So here goes: I'm not able to add you in my G+ circles (still figuring the new G+) but, sound as weird as this may, thing is - I don't want to lose contact with you. So please, add me somewhere. My email is ....... and FB ....... (I will edit post to delete this info, as soon as you give me a nod that you've gotten them). If you don't want to, it's cool and absolutely no hard feelings or offense here... but at least write them down somewhere, as I may not be on KZbin for months at a time, so wouldn't catch a post written here. Btw I was a big gamer too (one of my addictions) and would like to talk to you about that too sometime (as I see you have a Skyrim video, I've never tried it... D2 & older games lik AOE, etc were my drug, lol).... but in recent years I buy the game but never open it :( Again - lack of energy, no sleep which combined with constant pain produces lack of concentration, disconnected thoughts, anger / bitchiness... plus the fact that some of my meds delete parts of my memory. Sometimes I lose entire days or weeks, just as if they were deleted or never happened. If you can recommend a game or two (no war games please, had enough of shooting in real life to jump at every backfiring car or 4th of July firework)...maybe some music also, you'd help me a lot. I don't even know how to end all this incoherence, lol... except to wish you much better days ahead & REAL happiness in your future. I think it's waiting for us, somewhere behind the bend in our ugly roads. That's holding me up, somehow. Nothing lasts forever, and things can turn around in a second. If they can do that for the worse, like someone dropping dead out of the blue - surely they can go in the other direction also, towards happier times. We deserve some of those. Hugs from California wine country, wherever you are!

[@garym9117]

Ducky Ghouleh I wrote down your information and I'll add you on facebook soon so you can delete the info from your comment. Your English is very good as well. You use it as well as most native speakers on the internet so no worries there. I'm really sorry to hear about the losses you've had in your life but it's good to know you still have your husband and mom. And one of my family members struggled with Endometriosis for many years so I know that's a really difficult thing as well. The internet has a lot of bad aspects but it's amazing how it can bring so many people together at the same time. It gives people who are struggling an outlet and a way to connect with others who have issues similar to our own. And don't feel like a coward for not sharing more details of your life. You've shared a lot already and that takes a lot of courage. Again, I know that I'm truly lucky not to have a more difficult road than I have but I do know how frustrating medical problems can be. I can't imagine the torment you go through but it's inspiring that you keep going. There are a lot of people who have given up for a lot less so I tip my hat to you. Gaming has pulled me through a lot in my life and it's one of the greatest forms of therapy I've ever had. I'll be glad to talk more about games/music, etc. as well so I'll be sure to add you on FB soon. Your comment wasn't rambling so don't fret about that either. I agree with you 100% - if things can get so bad so quickly, surely they can get better as well. I suppose that's the key to making it through difficult times and I wish you the best & better days as well. Finding that thread of hope the grab onto is extremely difficult, but even a thread is better than nothing

+Alma Ducky - Ghouleh Bardette Steven, Alma, Gary, And for anyone who is reading this...You don't know me, I don't know you, but in all honesty, I hope you are in a better state of mind than when you were 2 weeks ago. Is such a beautiful thing to see how long Steven aka Boogie has come over the past years. And see that people care, and even relate to the hardships of life. And for me to come here and read the comments, and see you Gary and you Alma and all other people here, helping each other.... I just wished more people would be like this.. and then the world would be a better place. Alma, it is really good that you are not alone, and that your husband supports you and is there when you need it the most. And I hope your mother is doing well also. Often in struggles like the ones you wrote, people tend to ignore you, or help you at first then get tired ... and sometimes leave you when you need them the most... I was in the past in a place like that... So.. glad you are not alone. Gary, hope you are seeing this too, and you doing ok. Please keep the fighting on, with life, and don't go in that dark place you were 4 times in the past. I'm talking about the suicide attempts. And if you find yourself there again, just come back here and reply to my comment, or talk with Alma as I see you two are on FB now, or with anyone else. I hope i didn't come as a obnoxious being for writing all the things I wrote... I speak from some bad experiences in my life, with a dysfunctional family, health problems, dark places when I wanted all to end, bad friends, long 7 years relation with someone who just one day left, work problems, and so on... I;m in a better place now that I was a year ago, but sometimes... the feelings.. just come back... I don;t know what got over me... saw some videos today in the same tone as the one on here... and when i started to read the comments, i don;t know... I stopped here, and really wanted to say the things I just said. I hope my english is okay and that I didn't offend someone. Stay strong and be safe! PS. I can recommend a game. It is a indie game. Unravel is the name. The creator is such a genuine person and the team also, from what I saw in some presentations and interviews. Search for a trailer. Hope it helps.

Ive struggled to stay positive throughout my life. My uncle had cancer and the night before he died, he was texting me about how he wanted to go on his own terms, and how there was nothing left but pain left here for him. That really made me look at life differently. I started to realize that no matter what I did, I would leave something unfinished and eventually be forgotten. I look at what happend with my dad, How two years after he died the only one who cared was my grandmother, Everyone who used to reassure me has either died or tried to commit suicide. It really fucking hurts when someone who keeps you afloat tries to end their life. My advice to anyone who is someone elses rock, no matter how hard it gets, dont try do commit suicide. It will make someone feel like you dont value them at all. Sorry for that rant. Anyways, If anyone needs to chat, just type under this thread

coyotewarchild Why the hell do you want to see me working out, working up a sweat? Are you gay, are you into that kind of stuff? I mean im not judging, but there's plenty of other places to get that kind of stuff from but KZbin isnt one of them. Now i consider my self to be in pretty good shape, but not 50 pull ups sort of shape. Im not a fucking Olympic champion. I can get 15, maybe 20 without the restraint band, but 50! C'mon, i like to dream as well. And it wasn't a joke if it was true. And the fact your getting so defensive about it just makes me think it is even more true, i had suspicions of it not being true, but thank you for putting me at ease and confirming them.

[@coltermiller1782]

coyotewarchild With that logic, then like 95% of the males on this planet are not a man. I would actually like to see you record yourself doing 100 push ups at one time because i highly doubt that because you reply to my comment within the hour every time i post, no matter what time it is. I dont know how you have time to do everything some important person like you needs to do in life and have the time to go to the gym, and drool over his computer so he can reply to half the population of KZbin that you started an argument with.. So what about a single dad, raising 3 children on his own on the welfare system but pulling through and getting his kids the shelter, food, and education they needed. But in all that time, he doesn't have enough time to go to the gyms so he can't do 100 push ups at one time. So is he not a man? Going through all that and not giving up, but he cant do 100 push ups at one time?

boogie, you are one of the small percentage of KZbin that makes youtube what youtube should be. Lately its just been drama, money/ view whoring, fighting, unneeded videos, offensive videos, videos made from 12 year olds, and the worst of them all... Minecraft videos. But the small percentage make people love youtube, and they do it all for the love, and passion. You make videos to make others smile and I hope that one day all the unneeded cancerous youtubers will just dissapear. You have 3 millions followers who comeback to every video expecting a smile, and thats what you deliver.

[@realaallooss]

Well put

[@AdasbaGamingChannel]

Why do you say Minecraft videos and videos made by 12 year olds are bad? I get your point, but there are quite a few decent youtubers who are 12 years old. Even if they aren't, they don't know how unforgiving and evil KZbin is. The Minecraft video thing is a dumb stereotype, the youtubers who make the bad videos fill them with clickbait and crap like that, so they appear before the good videos, so all you see is lucky block this, orespawn that, minigames everywhere.

[@MrDooneyOfficial2]

AdasbaGaming You are COMPLETELY missing the point

[@AdasbaGamingChannel]

MrDooney I mean, I get that you are trying to say that boogie2988 posts better and honest videos instead of the clickbait crap that you see all over youtube, but I think it isn't a good idea to stereotype minecraft gamers and 12 year olds who haven't been warned about jerks in the comments section.

I owe you an apology Mr. Boogie ( you deserve my respect ) I came across one of your videos and had no idea who you are or what you are about. When I saw your character. ( didn't know Francis wasn't real) I didn't like him and I wrote nasty remarks and went on my way. After a time I've come across this video and now I know what an asshole I was/am/ can be. I am so sorry for not even taking just a minute to realize even if Francis was real I'm asshole for being nasty. Again I am so sorry and you've taught me very valuable lesson. Good luck to you and your wife.

It's all too easy to allow the anonymity of the internet, and the lack of knowing who someone really is, deride our better judgment. But it takes strength of character to not only admit when you were wrong but to then reach out and directly, publicly apologize. I watched this video and then went to the comments, bracing myself to see all "the sh*tty people coming out of the woodwork" Boogie mentioned in his video. But the first comment I saw was yours. And it amazed me. I really hope Boogie sees this and responds back to you. Well done.

Boogie, can I just say that you’ve been an inspiration for me? Yes, I’m a strength coach but under the surface I feel just as you have described so vividly in this video. I still struggle with compulsive binge eating and anxiety but little by little I’m working on bettering myself. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment but I hope you do. And if there is EVER anything that I can help you with, don’t ever hesitate to reach out.

[@projects6610]

Something that I know is very inspirational to me is that you have a wife, Francis. A wife that loves you and cares for who you are, despite the fact that you're different from the rest. You've taught me that just because you're different, it certainly doesn't mean that nobody loves you. And it certainly doesn't mean that you will never find a person that does love you for who you are. Ever since I became a teenager, I thought that no girl would ever like me because I have ADHD, Clinical Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and other various conditions. But you made me realize that I can still be loved by someone who likes and accepts me for who I am. And because of this, as of today, I've been with the love of my life for exactly 5 months now and never before have I been so happy in my entire life. Thank you, Boogie :-)

+SkitsOlemonz I'm glad for you... I'm glad that a girl accepted you... But it's different here... everyone's the same here...

[@countrygirl1130]

I have depression too.. It's horrible. Stay strong!

[@Stratus...]

+SkitsOlemonz Thank you for being strong enough to share your story with us. Steve, not Francis, by the way. Francis is a character he plays. Just so you know ;)

[@ForTheBacon]

Boogie you a a beautiful, pure and wonderful person. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :)

[@user-sv7sb9is1s]

What dude said. Keep your head up bud!

[@crashedbandicoot8410]

+CC-3636 ur correct but people in the world are harsh its unfair but one thing this man does is not give a fucking shit best way of getting around problems like that indeed.

[@jeppefoghpoulsen355]

+Steve There's different way's to be beautiful? And yes, Boogie is the best example, that i know, being a beautiful person. Maybe he's the best example, to BE known.

[@grmdarkprince1532]

I grew up in a very similar situation, PTSD, SPD, Shizophrenia related trauma, tried to kill myself etc... Your a grown man, we all have our comforts, but there comes a time when we stand up and prove we are better people. We stand up and change. Good luck

[@amyastuplin7697]

[@raminybhatti5740]

Anyone who's been subscribed to Boogie for a while must realise he doesn't need advice on nutrition or exercise. From watching his older videos I think Boogie needs a mental health professional to help him out, because I'm pretty certain his issues with food addiction stem from mental trauma and needs to be tackled before he can do anything else. Any long time subscribers know if he has sought help to get his head sorted?

[@skaetur1]

Pvt. William Hudson He explains exactly what you just said. He clearly says he has mental health issues, has been diagnosed and knows that he uses food to calm himself down. Of course he sought help.

[@raminybhatti5740]

skaetur1 Yes he's been diagnosed, but what then? Is he seeing someone to help him overcome these issues?

[@raminybhatti5740]

***** That's lovely you accept him for how he is, but some of us don't want to see him die 30 years premature. But as long as you're happy with how he is that's all that matters...

[@JeroAstra]

Pvt. William Hudson Fuck that shit. Give this guy support. I want boogie to keep rockin at 80 yrs or farther. His game ain't over, man!

[@raminybhatti5740]

Jeroscope He has my support. I just don't like to see him demoralized...

[@real_armadillo]

It's extremely strong and brave of you to talk about this boogie. I wish I could just hug you right now!

[@2DFrooty]

thats kind of fucked up man

[@real_armadillo]

***** If you're unable to hug him, you're doing it wrong.

[@real_armadillo]

***** He has a neck, hasn't he? Just throw your arms around that. And you really don't need to go all the way around in order for it to be a hug. That's just a skinny bitch hug. Might as well go outside and hug a lamppost.

[@colbyquessy1749]

Armadillo I uiiiiip Ooooo pppppppl L

[@iamnumfive]

Mr. Boogie, you are not alone. Many of us fight these demons constantly. I do find this video you made very encouraging. You are couragous to face wall and punch through it. I hope you are doing ok since you made this video. Thank you for letting us know that we are not alone and there are others out there who understand.

[@Mbq-sh6bj]

You're extremely articulate, aware, and intelligent. And that's just what's evident in a mere KZbin video. What you carry with you as a person in your own life is probably even more than that. Stay strong, rest when you need to, and congrats on all your victories, big & small.

[@yvDiggs]

u lost 67 pounds in 6 months? thats AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@ericisking13]

10+ pounds a month is very good. You don't want to lose too much too quickly for many reasons. if you can lose 10 pounds a month, in a couple years you will find yourself very happy about where you are. Time flies by.

[@BradleyDS90]

Nicholas Carnes I was at 200 pounds a few years back but I've gained about 60 pounds since then... Ugh I really need to diet again lmao

[@Lexyvil]

Your mannerism, gentleness, gaming talk and humour is the reason why I subscribed to you. Keep doing what you're doing now as everything you do makes all of our days brighter, and don't change~

[@ThingsWithDave]

+Lexyvil you are a nice guy ;)

[@iamk_tty235]

+Lexyvil Yeah! You are a great person. :D

[@ArcherSlamBAM]

My grandmother, who just passed away one month ago, had many, many, many of the same problems you've mentioned. She knew pain. Clubbed with tree branches, had most of her leg break through in an accident, had 12 major surgeries for varying reasons, diabetes and many other issues. When she passed, she was around 250, but I can tell you that, despite all the pain and agony. she was 250 lbs of love. I may not know your pain first-hand, but I do understand your pain.

[@aaroui6188]

+Archer Slam-BAM hello

[@ArcherSlamBAM]

Jack Friday Hello.

[@aaroui6188]

hi

[@jakenba6604]

+Archer Slam-BAM I thought you meant 250 years old lol

[@ArcherSlamBAM]

***** I didn't say that. Not even remotely. I said that his problems were due to preexisting medical issues, much like my grandmother's was, and since I had to take care of her for many of her later year, I know what she went through, therefore I know what he's going through.

[@zachcollins9189]

And two years later you are 150lbs lighter, a more energetic man and someone who is starting to accomplish term goals. Keep it up bro!

[@igotzelda]

11:56 "Either I will succeed, or I will die trying" keep it up man, this video is super inspirational, you are a strong human being and we need more people like you

[@truehulk62]

I have 3 diagnosed metal disorders, clinical depression, OCD and clinical anxiety. it's hard to open my eyes everyday, it's hard not to put a bullet in my head. everyday is hell, every moment is a war, I'm on meds, I'm in therapy and it's still crippling.i also grew up in an abusive home, I've been uppercutted for not eating broccoli, I've been smashed in the face with canned goods, I've come home to all my shit out in the street, I've been called the devil, I can remember my brother getting beaten in the back of the head with a TV remote as he ran away... I've developed an eating addiction and an addiction to spending money to cope. every therapist I've ever been to tell me it's a miracle I haven't killed myself yet and that I'm able to function in society at all. I feel what you're going thru and​ ur incredibly brave to make this video, u gained so much respect. God be with u in ur journey

[@big-andy-dob4177]

truehulk62 respect to u and boogie

[@truehulk62]

appreciate u guys, it means a lot

[@thepikarivera7706]

truehulk62 hope everything goes ok with you. I am a very shy person and go through anxiety, but nothing like you guys. Hope God helps you, Boogie and everyone going through anxiety.

[@truehulk62]

[@fernandostar3507]

[@depressedboi3801]

His childhood makes me cry :( How can people be so mean to him?

[@yordvandamme]

Depressed Boi because other people probably have been mean to them, and they don't know other ways of treating each other.

[@sominboy2757]

Depressed Boi Not to knock on boogie, but the south is the place where youre supposed to "not be a pussy" and "man up" and not complain about things. Theres a reason why people from the rural south are the way they are insest stereotypes and all.

[@prestonberg6994]

People are evil they have no mercy for kids, their self, or other people. If people had compassion we would have no need for tearing each other down to make us feel better. We need compassion not have anger in our lives but I will tell you one thing if you are going to teardown someone just to make yourself feel better, stop and walk away or apogalize

[@RomanowRomanow1]

at least he gets laid, i had worse

[@guyver33]

I know it's a bit of an old video but I ended up here while watching some of your other content since i'm a fairly new follower. I could fairly easily fill the comment box with my story about the crap I've been through and had to overcome but I will say the positive path i'm currently plowing along has just got a lot wider and clearer after hearing your story. You're a good soul Boogie, thanks for inspirational boost.

[@KZilla]

Boogie towards the end you said "I don't speak publicly about it because there's not much progress to report" mate, you're still here and that's progress! You're still trying and that's progress! You're talking about it and that's progress! You've been through hell and you're still here fighting where weaker people would fall and pass away... Don't put yourself down you're an amazing person that makes thousands of people happy! Now it's your time to be happy dude! Focus on you and your wife being as happy as possible and keep fighting! Everyone has times where we just give in and stop fighting, you've just gotta get back up and kick your own Ass into fighting again because you know deep down you can accomplish your goals and we all believe in you! Stay awesome, stay with us and never give up.

[@KZilla]

Scratch that... You have MILLIONS of people who love you :) maybe motivation could come from doing short vlog clips of your day when your doing your exercise? I k is you might not want to share those times but think of it as a video progress diary where all your loving friends here can cheer you on video by video. Just a thought that could help with motivation :)

Dear Boogie, I'm only 3 mins into this video, only just discovered you, and I've shed tears already and I feel love for you and I'm subscribing. I'm a victim of childhood abuse as are many people close to me and I've struggled with addiction, especially overeating, and so much of what you say resonates. I'm really looking forward to catching up on your content. A hug for you bro!

[@RupturesV1]

[@theonlyreject9319]

Guys, we are all the same, we breathe the same air, we eat the same foods, we wear the same clothes, we watch the same tv shows, everything. But when someone is different, we can't accept it, and we turn to hate. Boogie is a perfect example of a victim, we have to stop. I'm stopping, it's time for everyone else to do so. Boogie is a great person, one of the only genuine people on KZbin. Thanks boogie for making the work a better place, we all love you.

I agree, We are an advanced lifeform, yet, in ways like this, it seems like we are primal monsters, you sir speak the truth, anyone who does not agree with me, or criticizes this man for everything he's been through and is still hanging on to life, is a heartless soul that can't help but tell everyone that they are worse than them, these people do not deserve to be human. we need to all accept that we are all one, we may be different people, but we are one species. If our species is so advanced, why can't we accept one another, most animals do it, because it's smart, and they survived natural selection, we seem to have forgotten, we don't govern the world, we fight through our challenges and get to the other side. All of you have been through something like this, but this man is fighting through something that we can't comprehend how hard and stressful that his life has been, and you guys just shit on his life because he is trying to overcome a situation that no one should have to go through, anybody who has said anything mad about this man, should not be a part of this advanced civization. think about this the next time you decide to say something bad about anyone

Addiction is addiction, whether it's food, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, or anything that someone can get addicted to, most people go through some form of it. When you said that you three food in the trash, then dug it back out is no different than when I had to hide my smoking cigarettes. I used to walk 30 minutes from my house to the grocery store and pull the cigarette butts out of the public ashtray, and stick them in and empty box to take home and smoke later. I know this isn't the same thing, but when you follow what your body tells you to do, and other people ridicule you about it while still dealing with the stress of hiding it, it can be overwhelming. I eat a lot as well when I'm stressed. I might be lucky that I stay thin, but the mentality is still there. We, as humans, are not perfect. Anyone who judges you for what you go through most likely have a few skeletons in their closet. Stay strong. Believe in yourself. I believe in you too. Thank you for sharing your story with us man. Best wishes, and keep your head up bro.
