Dude is a streamer, but no one seems to have been able to track down his stream. Pretty much the most boring episode of this yet.
This one cleans himself sitting on the edge of a bathtub with a spray bottle and sponge rag while shaving his stomach hair with a hunting knife. The extra huge toilet lid with bidet.
He has a wife and I'm guessing its do to her that this house does not look like the ususal pigsty you see on this show. They have two children a 17 year old and a 12 year old.
Meal 1 :
Served on a lunch tray: Giant platter dish of scrambled eggs and bacon, 2 pieces of toast. Large yogurt, small pie in tin, and large bowl of fruit.
Backstory time:
Dad left when a few years old. Moved in with grandparents who fed him constantly. At 7, 110 lbs. At 11 ended up in sleepaway camp and his bunk leader was a pedophile who groomed and molested the bunkers. He decided that if he gained more weight he'd be less desirable to pedophiles. By 14, 250 lbs. By 18, 400 lbs. Became a bouncer in college and went into Martial Arts (Was 500 lbs). Went down to 380 lbs due to martial arts. Met his wife during this time. Major Car accident caused removal of spleen and much scarring in abdomin area.
Meal 2 (Split between 4):
Double Sheetpan of pizza, giant pot of buttered noodles, roasted potatoes, and entire split loaf of garlic bread.
He states he has is agoraphobic at this point. He at east seems cognicent of the fact that he needs to change his life, but if this continues when it gets hard. He eats so much during this that he is in pain and has to be massaged due to the scarring on and in his abdomen.
Is heading to Dr. Now its a 45 min drive. Wife is worried he'll just give up because if he thinks something wont work that is what he does. HE decided to drive so he can know that he can just turn around. The seat is fully reclined so far that it doesnt even exist as a seat, nor can he wear a seat belt with this set up yet he puts it "on". He pretty much states that now that they are there "Hope is dead" and its all a gamble now. His negative attitude is starting to get annoying.
First weigh in : 610 lbs.
He tells Now that his overeating is due to him not feeling sated regardless of how much he eats. Tells Dr. Now he hates people and society and states he has tried therapy. 100% motivated! Keeps interupting Now to state he'll do everything.
Goal : See Therapist no specific weight goal
Therapy with Dr. Paradise his wife had to be in session with him.
States the issue with the bunk captain caused him to hate people so much that he does not want to be around them anymore. He states that the only store he might be able to deal with is a place to spirtual supplies such as crystals. Bunk Captain is dead so hes told ot write letter and burn it to take back power.
They are now burning all the bad foods in a fire and its making him sad.
He is being checked to see if his scarring would stop surgery. It comes up during this he knows he has an upper abdomen hernia that is not fixed. Now finds his esophagus has a lot of bile in it. He could never have weight loss surgery he has a hernia and his stomach is "torn" plus large amounts of abdominal scarring preventing lacropscopic surgery. The idea is to do a hernia fix and remove scar tissue to see if its possible to remove enough to do weight loss surgery.
Goal : Lose 100 to 150 over 3 months so they can even do anything.
Michael takes this as a failure and says its gonna be hard to lose weight.
Month 2:
He's writing and burning letter. I have a feeling "I will never forget you" was not the affirmation needed for this burning.
Month 3:
Mr Pessimism is moaning....so much moaning...so hard work...gonna fail.... "It's the beginning of another shattered dream on the floor for me"
First Weigh In : 549 lbs; Current loss 60 lbs; Total loss 60 lbs.
"It's good progress....It's not from lack of effort cause i'm really trying!"
He is very dependent on his wife stating if she was there she'd tell him this or that.
Goal : Lose 150 lbs over 3 months.
Hallway Now is happy hes doing therapy and trying, but feels he needs to put more work into it. Michael wishes the goal wasnt still so big.
Month 5:
Hes freaking out that hes going to a crystal shop. The wife is like your spiraling. He's panicing due to the crystal shop. It's a little odd that he had no issues going alone to Dr Now. But with his wife with him he had PLENTY of issues going to the crystal shop. It seems less agoraphobic and more very very dependent on his wife.
Month 8:
He had to take an extra month because it got a lot harder to lose weight and focus.
2nd Weigh In : 512 lbs; Current loss 37 lbs; Total loss 97 lbs.
He turns Now's words back on him that hte issue is what he said that the more weight you lose the harder it is to lose.
Goal : 90 lbs in 4 months. (Not sure why hes coddling this dude so much. Where are you hard ass Now?!)
Month 10:
He's going to retry doing martial arts which was a passion of his. He uses a punching bag sitting down. Hopefully this passion can lead to him doing what he needs.
Month 11:
He called saying that hes sure shes lost teh weight in 3 months and hes ready now. (He never actually checked his own weight)
3rd Weigh in : 478 lbs; Current loss 34 lbs; total loss 131 lbs.
Now states that hes not gaining and hes being rewarded with being checked for possiblity of surgery.
Now states hes proud of him and that hes on track. (Yet hes not met one goal hes been given) Nows optimistic he'll stick with things for the long run.
Month 12:
Surprises picnic for his wife with family.
Goal : Lose 30 lbs in a few months for hernia surgery.
Pretty boring episode nothing much happened on screen that wasnt appointments.
Status : Blah.
