We watched this last night on TLC. I wish they would have focused more on WHY he had such massive weight gain, but we enjoyed it. It was sad to know he passed away.. and away from his family. How sad. How hard for them.
Watching him struggle, and the others they showed, made me realize that I really do have to take care of myself or I could easily end up like that. What drives us to eat? Must be some pretty powerful feelings. Why can some people swing directions with those feelings and never turn to food and yet others go back again and again to the wrong foods? Is it something we learned as children? Can those feelings be replaced with healthy ways to handle them?
Slowly I'm learning to pay attention to see what types of feelings trigger emotional eating for me and I'm trying to replace the eating with actually feelign the emotion. It can be rough sometimes. But it's a war I want to win. If that drive to emotional eat is that strong that it can force me to eat, I want that same strength to help me with a successful weight loss. Harness that power!

. It was very enlightening for me. I saw this show awhile ago. It was sad. When people get this big there lives can be so limited. It does make you want to seize control!
