    I used to watch it, I haven't watched TV in a while.
    It always made me want to eat more for some strange reason. I started to get paranoid that there were subliminal messages, because seeing those people struggle shouldn't make me want more food when I'm not hungry, but it did.

    I have watch it and it just pisses me off when in the beginning of the show the caretakers buy the person junk food knowing very well you are slowly killing them . They can't get out of bed so someone is feeding them bad food .
    But it is nice to see at the end they make a change with or without there support .

    I remember one guy was a real tool and put her down for trying to lose weight .

    I know! The caretakers can be such enablers on that show!

    I saw an episode that the spouse/partner was so into bigger girls that he threatened to leave her if she had the surgery.

    Not all but a good chunk of it is due to sexual abuse

    Some form of an abuse for sure to compensate.

    I love that show! Although majority of the time I find it inspirational when the person want to continue their journey to health. I am very frustrated and disappointed when some fail to do so after the show because by being on the show, EVERYTHING is paid for regarding surgical procedures.

    I had and I stress HAD an enabling hubby.

    He doesn't like really thin girls and was a bit worried when I started on this journey.

    He's fine now and knows its about my health and nothing else and is now very supportive.

    From that experience I think the care takers feel like they are no longer needed and don't know where they fit into the journey, not realising that just going for a walk with the person is 1000xs better then buying cake.

    I watch it whenever I can because it’s a real wakeup call that that could be (and more than likely is :'( ) me. Some of those stories are so sad and shocking, worthy of empathy, while others are just so obviously dumb and make it plain as day that the fatso in question is a true retard in desperate need of a several-day, several-night stay with a shrink, away from their lives, families and loved ones (so I find myself yelling “thank you!” at the screen at those who get one/put themselves in therapy at some point)!

    As much as I like the show, I believe I could do without the bathing scenes and close ups when they're eating. They are human beings after all.
