It's so incredibly jarring to go back to old Boogie videos. He was so well spoken, articulate and self aware. Or at least came across that way. Compare 2012-17 Boogie to now.

[@Steelbooking541]

Your awesome man! Congrats for all the progress you've made in life!! Your a huge help to me. Ive been smoking pot for over ten years . Decided to stop the moment you went into surgery! You help thousands of people with every single video. Thank you bro. You've shown me over the year how to live again, when for so long I forgot. Your awesome, one of the most impactful people I've ever found. We love you too, we really do! Praying for you.

Justin Bell hold up, why would you quit pot ? like quit cigarettes, dhoka , anything nicotine related, heck stop DRINKING ! don't do messed up drugs , but what's wrong with weed ? I mean no offense , I'm simply asking.

[@BMoney8600]

Justin Bell Boogie is awesome! He's a huge inspiration to a lot of people! My mom has started doing workouts and I am super proud of her, she has been cutting a lot of things out of her diet and she pushed those things out of her life. I started working out when I was 12 years old and I am still on that workout plan. My mom told me how I was one of the people that inspired her to start exercising. I'm proud that I'm a part of that.

[@CouldBeSaladFingers]

Decided to stop smoking since he went into surgery? LMAOOOOO.

[@WarpedYT]

I also messed up my body, I always have severe chronic nerve pain so I feel you brother. I am trying to change my lifestyle now and fix things, stay positive.

[@jeremyfowler1519]

I had bypass surgery in 2002. Day of surgery I was 476 pounds. On the 1 year anniversary of the operation I was 215lbs! I did everything they told me too. Exercised. Etc. if you do that you'll have no problems. If you guys have any questions message me. I may do a video on my experience on my channel if enough people are interested.

[@nygroover397]

I'm coming to this video late, but...Thank you so much. I could never vocalize it, but you put into words what I could never accept or even admit to myself. I year or so ago I finally felt that want to live. After realizing that I probably have many years left. I don't want to continue living with my old friend Misery. I want to enjoy every moment that i have left. To do that I need to shed my excess "baggage". I choose the fitness route because that is the type of life that I want. I've had a brief taste of life being fit. Those were the only 2 years of life that I can recall being truly happy and content. I want to feel that again. I am slowly learning to enjoy food without using it as a flail or a means to facilitate my escape. I struggle with it. The fitness part is very intimidating, but I continue on. Thanks for your open and honest words.

[@pvb32978]

[@Doc82]

I get it. I am in the same boat as you, but I just top 500 pounds. I am 52 soon to be 53 and until now I did not care if I lived or died. I can not say if today I am 100% willing to live. I also ahd a very abusive mother and I have been known to be abusive myself. I can not get the surgery I am on disability and they will not cover it. So I really do not know what I am going to do or what I can do. But I am a fan, I reached out to you a few years ago, I doubt if you would rememebr me but I am still here and am a loyal fan. Good luck to you

Really nice video. You're a very intelligent person and I enjoy hearing you speak. My son is struggling with alcoholism, and it's leading him down a path that ends in misery and death. It is killing me inside. I just suggested to him to watch this video and substitute food with alcohol. The things that you say cross all boundaries and apply to people no matter what their problems are. My hope is that he figures out just what is eating at his very core and can come to terms with it and come out OK in his skin. Keep on keepin' on, boogie, and know that you are helping more people than you know.

[@themeowdingo]

I know you get a lot of comments but I truly hope you see this one. This video really resonated with me.. I too had a bad childhood and turned to food as a self destructive manor. I was 300+ lbs at age 15 and was miserable. I too wanted to eat myself to death. I am now 24 and 150 ish lbs, and have been really loving eating healthy food. When you said you're as determined to get your health up now compared to when you wanted to diminish it, I teared up because I really feel that. I am so proud of you, we all are. Thank you so much for sharing this, it's comforting to know someone else has had those same feelings and struggles and is making it! Here's to our health!

[@AmazingJaze]

The story about your mom and food is heart breaking to me.

[@captainchippie4454]

Boogie, I can relate a lot with how you feel, the self destructive behavior, the mental health issues, everything. I'm 28 and I've recently decided to make a change and try and get healthy. I've quit the online games I was addicted to, started working out and taking care of myself and just overall trying to make a change. That being said I just wanted to thank you for this video in particular. It's very important to know that there are others out there who have struggled with the same things and more importantly that it's beatable. Hopefully the changes both you and I are making will be long term, because like you I've been feeling so much better. Take care my friend.

[@theoutcast1402]

Good luck my friend and I pray that you get through the recovery and may it be a faster recovery than a health potion to an arrow to the knee.

Watching the video and reading the description, I never knew how much I related to Boogie. Sure, I'm not as overweight as Boogie but the idea's the same. I just never cared, I was almost nihilistic. I've been overweight for years and just never looked at it as harmful. Unlike Boogie, however, I was fortunate enough to not have to have gone through the abuse he did, but I still to this day try and change my eating habits. And he's right, there is no excuse for doing what I'm doing.

I liked Francis until boogie started talking about him as a character he does. Ruined the illusion.

[@idot3331]

I think it's a way to make fun of himself and entertain people at the same time, perhaps as a kind of coping mechanism.

[@kierengert6177]

I don't "hate" Francis, but I very much prefer Boogie himself too. Francis videos can be entertaining every now and then but its generally not my kind of content, Boogie's serious stuff on the other hand I think is enriching and provides wonderful perspective, the kind of stuff that will broaden one's own perspective from taking it in is what I really like.

This is one of the most profoundly sad videos I have ever seen. First off, I'm so sorry you had such a tough beginning and that you dealt with so much abuse. But, you should feel so proud of how far you've come! If you can go from the absolute depths of hell and come out the other side and want to get better and put so much effort into doing so, that is one hell of an achievement! I've been struggling with mental illness only for a short while, but I've been to the brink and come back and you inspire me to keep going to therapy and keep getting better, so thank you. I wish you every success, you've more than earned it.

I'm 17 and I've been self-destructive for 4 years now. In my case it's not having abusive parents or a horrible childhood. No one has ever even bullied me (much). I just hate myself. I have friends who ask me to spend time with them, but I never do because I keep thinking all the possible ways I could embarrase myself. Many times I have tried to gather strength and be somehow proud of what I am, but every time I just fall back to depression. Good luck Boogie with fixing your life.

Boogie is one of the most loved people on KZbin, his fans really *love* him :)

[@robertobrewer1203]

If Boogie's surgery is anything like yours, he's going to have an incredible result.

[@alancurran5306]

Cutting the Caboose he isnt making this video for the haters

[@CuttingtheCaboose]

@Childish Dragon, you know, that's a fair point. I go on about haters a lot, maybe it sends the wrong message.

[@mineral2873]

He's not justifying it lmao. He's telling us why he became as overweight as he did. You obviously can't undergo critical thinking if you think he's doing this for the haters. What Boogie has been telling us could help other obese people.

[@hartage4]

hey boogie man, you are a huge inspiration to me, and oher people throughout the world. you helped me alot, even if you didn't know it. when i was diagnosed with RRMS in march of 2017, i was depressed to no avail, my best friend just left me, and i realized that i might be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life. i gained about 30 pounds from 120 to about 160. i want you to know that ive followed you for a long time, and when you say things like "get your shit together" it really is a wake up call to people like me, and other people who have been suffering to get up and try to get your life on the right track again. and i want to thank you for that.

[@cadenza23]

I'm so proud of you Boogie and I love you very much too. I'm rooting for a speedy recovery and following closely on Twitter. That's all I have to say.

[@summushieremiasclarkson4700]

Amongst all the positive and negative comments, here is a neutral one: you are responsible, but it's not your fault that said responsibility fell into your hands, and this was the only way for you to cope.

[@DCNTiki]

You're the man Boogie. Can't wait to go along with the next part of your journey.

[@NovusDawn1]

As someone who also has several emotional and mental issues this really spoke to me. I found that I could heavily relate to going through both mental and physical issues. It is never easy and it is something that will never end in any real sense. Boogie the progress you have made and continue to make is an inspiration to me. It shows that with the help of loved ones and self-determination that you can overcome even the darkest parts of yourself and your past. I was honestly have a shitty day and was depressed about my situation in life and felt like I would never be able to achieve my dreams so why bother even trying. Your video showed me that one of the biggest obstacles that you have to take on is your own mindset and that you should never stop trying even when everything in your head and body tells you that you should. From a fan who finds you an inspiration, Thank you.

[@urban9957]

My family loves to watch you as a family and we all sit down and watch your videos we pray for your safety and hope you heal well!!!! We all love you boogie!!💞💞😁😁.

[@urban9957]

Smorezzz Games & Vlogs thank you

[@stolehd28]

Boogie - you got this dude, I believe in you and you can do anything you want to do. You are very smart and determined. Just keep wisdom and never give up. You are an amazing inspiration and a very good guy. You got this, love you bro 🔥

[@MrBjax9000]

I love your Honesty, very Refreshing. Thank you and love the channel!

[@huntercrespin2]

Amazing video! Im proud of you as well. Allthough I have never been in your place (expecialy as a adolescent), I have been slightly overweight periodically on my 18 years on this planet. My only advice to you is too REALLY picture who you want to be and fight everyday and night to become them. Fight as hard as you can, and its okay to be hard on your self when you dont. Set extream "lines" that you will not cross. Maybe only drink water, every, no matter what. Or never at a fast food establishment. You may suffer, but it is nessisary. I belive in you and your doing a good job. Keep it up.

[@alancurran5306]

Congratulations on the surgery boogie we're all supporting you

[@steventhibert7414]

Hey boogie, I stumbled upon this video after Obese To Beast shared it. Being someone who was 320 lbs when I was 16, and someone who has lived with eating issues his entire life even through becoming a personal trainer and a nutrition coach, I totally understand what you are going through. I am so proud of you for doing this for yourself bro, I know you can overcome this shit, the road is tough but you can do this. If you need any advice as far as nutrition or exercise goes, please please please reach out to me I would love to help you bro. You're an incredible individual for putting yourself out there like this, so many people need to hear this. Thank you thank you thank you!

I'm 20 and 400+ pounds, I have depression and anxiety, I wish I could've changed my life. I hate being this way

[@MainlyZak]

no, go see my vids youll see my face

[@_neophyte]

you still can change it. dont give up. Ask you doctor or anyone for help

[@lilirobin7136]

Try Ketogenic. It's difficult to start since we have addiction to food but I kept at it and have been kept for three months now. I had a lot of abuse from Mom but I over came it. Cutting out sugar and carbs eliminated my panic attacks and depression.

[@TheRealHerbaSchmurba]

You're not aware of how much power you have to find happiness for yourself

[@Aussie-boi]

Doesn't matter what road you took what matters is that you're alive now and you're going to have this surgery that will change your life for the better. Proud of you boogie!!!

[@thecolorlessking6668]

We all love and support you man, cant wait to see those pounds start meltin away :)

[@stardustcitizens]

I have never watched this channel but this is one of the best videos i have ever seen on this subject, the other major problem with a food addiction is that you need food to survive so every day you wake up and are immediately reminded that you need to eat, and then you do and then you cant stop. It makes it so incredibly hard to try and cut down and trying to eat healthy foods is not only expensive it also doesn't taste good. but the fact that you have realized your problems and are facing them head on is really cool.

[@BlueLightningX2]

We all have our demons and I wish nobody had to experience pain. However, boogie2988, I am incredibly proud of you and anyone that can overcome their adversities. Anyone who thinks that they are worthless, please reach out to someone. Boogie is living proof that no matter what the situation, there is something you can do to have an effect on the world and other's lives. Just remember that someone loves you no matter what. For fuck's sake, reach out to me if you have to! THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEBODY. Much love

[@MrMeon]

Absolute respect!!!

I hope the surgery goes well for you Boggie

[@doggopower6326]

[@kristalsaylor9582]

Thank you. Thank you for this. Our stories are eerily similar. I never even realized that I had been in self-destruct mode until you said it. I was 12 when I first realized I wanted to die and tried for the first time. Like you, I couldn't take the easy route... so I set out on the longest, hardest one I could find. Now here I am, 39 years old and for the first time discovering that I actually do want to live. Over the last year my relationship with food has dramatically changed. There are very few things I can even stomach and fewer still that I actually find myself craving on occasion. The things I do crave, when I indulge, don't seem to be as wonderful as I remember them to be and leave me feeling... meh. I've been a subscriber for a bit now and I will freely admit that it is this journey that brought me to your channel and not any of the previous gaming and what-not (sorry!) I wish you wouldn't apologize for sharing it, but completely understand the compulsion to do so. I suppose the majority of your fan base found you thru other avenues and you are afraid to lose their interest. You shouldn't worry about it! You are a beautiful soul Boogie!! Thank you so very much for being brave enough to put yourself out there for the world. I know, truly understand, how very difficult that must continue to be even now that you've been doing it so long. I admire your courage! And once again, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@crystalliquid5964]

Louis Nylan Wow don't you have a heart? He's going through a dangerous surgery and your going to say that shit? That's shameful of you

[@BeccaTrysGames]

Boogie - I watched this video over the summer (4, 5 months ago). I wrote down what you said, about despite everything, even on your worst days - food was there. I related to that so much... feeling literally controlled by this addiction. I finally did get my ish together. I started nutrisystem November 1. I have 100 pounds to lose. Watching your video again today, I feel like I'm starting to finally conquer some of those demons. Thank you for making this video, I believe it was the very beginning of realization for myself and the journey I need to take.

[@thedonutvan3871]

We love you Boogie. Hope everything goes well. The world needs people like you ❤️

I know he will never see this comment but you guys need to respect this man he opens up his life and tells random about his life as if you were family and he treats you like family were all family on this earth and he has relized that and he has realized that he wants to live on this earth with his family and he is smarts enough to know how to change that so you can't put him down for you may think about him you know most of the story and think about if you had that life wouldn't you do the same thing and I thank you boogie for all the content it makes my day when I see a video notification pop up for your channel I hope you make it through this surgery and everything is ok you may not know me but I'm here for you, and thank you thanks man for the laughs and entertainment and I hope you have a long and great journey in life thank you👍🏻

Hey boogie, I'm am a very recent however a huge fan. As a huge fan, I support you and I wish the best for you and your family... Your fan base is got ur back m8, and we're very proud of your decisions.

[@noahdommaschk]

Ok. Holy crap. What an eye opening 'Ted Talk' here! I had no idea about the win win situation you had in your mind about getting to die early AND enjoying the one thing that made you happy. That is seriously such an interesting statement. Another thing that shocked me is what your mom did to you, bless your heart. But most of all, the mental click you had and the courage to reach out to reality and tell people about it I think is one of the most amazing things I have seen anyone do. Look forward to seeing your journey through physical recovery! We have already seen the mental recovery, and we know you can do it and push through >3 take care and all the best. Greetings from Switzerland

I weighed 250 pounds at 6'2 four years ago, and a year and a half later I lost 70 pounds. All about determination. Since then I've gained 30 pounds back because I was too skinny.

Good job bro

Brandon Flash 180 was to skinny?

ryw00d 150ish is good for 5' 6", so 180 does seems light for 10 inches taller

Orion Weiss 150lbs is overweight for a 5'6 person...

[@beadot8629]

It's surprising but life's knocks can make some people stronger over time. Knowing you can get through a low point really does help you survive when you hit it again. If you're lucky to live long enough you realise we're all fighting our personal battles. We're not alone. Thanks for the video Boogie, it makes so much sense but only cause you survived and got to this point in your life to be able to look back and take proper stock. People suffering should take serious note, there does come a point when you're truly glad you didn't 'check out' sooner.
