Wow. I just stumbled across this and watched the videos. Serious wake up call. There is no amount of fussing and crying, no feeling sorry for yourself and cheating, no skipping exercise, no grazing, no lying, no self decption that gets past the reality of the consequences of addiction to food.

Dominique Lanoise, a 600-pound food addict, remains trapped in her bedroom -- and desperate to lose weight.

TLC reports on her story at 9 p.m. Wednesday in “600-Pound Mom: Race Against Time.”

I am watching it now! She acts like the surgery is her magic bullet. She is not even trying to stick to a diet. Hard to believe they will do the surgery for her when she keeps gaining weight.

I watched it, also!

I watched that entire series of "my 600 lb life" I think is what it was called. Huge eye opener. My heart ached for all of them. But it was great to watch because it followed 4 people over e course of 7 years. It showed the struggles they continued to have over that entire time frame. I highly recommend it for anyone who thinks WLS is an easy way out.

what a sad situation for all

as i was watching the different videos

there was a commercial with dancing "HERSHEY KISSES" singing we wish a merry christmas

chocolate, chocolate everywhere - even while showing an obese persons situation

how crazy is that!!!!!
