why wouldn't you be? I find it sad when drug addicts die too. There has to be a lot going on for someone to do that to themselves. I watch a lot of intervention and the most fascinating part in when they tell their story and what let them to drugs/addiction. it is heartbreaking. So many have had major tragedies in their lives or been sexually abused. You have to really hate yourself to eat your way to 700lbs and that is sad.

This.

I think what you see on this show is really that most of these people have some pretty serious problems besides their weight -- unhealthy family relationships, emotional/psychological problems. The weight is usually just a symptom of some underlying issue for peple to get to this size. FOr me the most heartbreaking one was the girl who still lived at home in her twenties and who helped to take care of her disabled brother, as well as the one where the girl had a really unhealthy relationship with her mother who babied her and did everything for her. These people are kind of trapped in their bodies but also kind of trapped in their lives. They perhaps eat because there is no way forward, no scenario in which they're going to move out some day, get a great apartment and education and job, and get married, etc.
It lets you really see the relationship between poverty and poor education and dead end jobs and eating and weight. I know that it has made me much more sympathetic to these people.
I have struggled with my own weight and I have all kinds of resources and things to look forward to -- I'm losing weight and I have the money to buy awesome clothes and travel, etc. etc. Imagine if you were in a situation where even if you lost the weight, it's not like that was the only thing holding you back from fulfilling your dreams. It's not like these people are magically going to be able to take expensive hiking and camping vacations once they get thin, etc.

I'm struck by how many of them were sexually abused and/or neglected. Some people have their souls murdered and their bodies show it.

I was abused as a child and grew into morbid obesity. Not sure what the connection is but it does seem to be very common. Ashamed to say in my case the food was a source of comfort.

You shut your whore mouth about the king - a short 74 year old man with a wee teeny tiny belly he earned because he's SEVENTY FOUR.

But on a positive note, is anyone else feeling uplifted by all the positive stories this season? The last one especially, had me in tears - his determination is just incredibly admirable!

Holy sh*t your reaction is extreme.

Not even offended, that’s how my brother often responds to me you dirty pirate hooker.

I love you two almost as much as a I love Dr. Now.

Why do I feel the need to eat while watching though? WTF is my problem?

Yes!!! Same!!! Literally every time I watch this show, I get a snack.
