The show also serves as a wake up call because it’s easy to see that if I ate whatever I want without restriction for a few years I could easily become 600 pounds.
this show was one of the main reasons I decided to turn my life around and lose over 150lbs.
Watching the people on the show with their unhealthy relationships with food really made me sit down and reevaluate my own unhealthy relationship with food.
It also really put into perspective how easy it is to one day wake up and you’re 600 lbs because you’re using food as a coping mechanism instead of dealing with the trauma you’ve experienced in life.
It definitely helped me change for the better, but I try to actively avoid watching any episodes for now. Too much of this show can also become pretty depressing for me.
It sure is. Trying to justify why they deserve another slice/ spoonful is incredibly common on the show and incredibly unhealthy. It just leads to more and more justification and more and more food.

Congrats on the weight loss.
It’s definitely truly terrifying to think just how easy one can end up at 600lbs quite easily. In my head I’d always try to justify myself/ the way I was eating and started going into denial about my size.
Watching the show really showed me how much of my own behavior was similar to some of the patients on the show. Quite the opening experience.
I’m not where I want to be weight wise, but I’ve made incredibly strides. I enjoy being thicc instead of morbidly obese and now feel so much healthier/ look better.
