last sunday i am watching discovery channel, and it happens that their show is about a mom who is more than 600 lbs, her name is Dominique. well if you think about 600 lbs it means am referring to a bigger person.
As I watched her I was really shock, she never go out the house and only stay at the bed, and even wash or take a bath in bed. and even her kids are the one who wash her. and their neighbor don't even know that Dominique exist in their house because she really don't go out.
When a medics arrived they can't even hold her because she is really really that big. As she go out the house their neighbors are very shock that they never know that there is a woman in that house as so big like her.
The doctor said she has lot of health problem because of her weight and the problem that she needs to weigh at least 500 lbs so they can start operating her. Dominique was disappointed but that what she did in her life and have to do something. So one health specialist went into their house and gave her some diet menu that she has to eat so everything was settled a food for her will just arrived every meal time so she can start her diet, but the problem is she doesn't like the meal, and every time she ask her daughters to gave her favorite foods but her daughters strictly don't allow it.
she lost more 30 lbs in 2 weeks and the health specialist said that it might be only water that she lost, but another week she gain again 10 lbs and the health specialist saw a bottle of juice behind Dominique's bed and he was so disappointed. Dominique even try to lie about it but she can't lie about the juice. She even said that the weighing bed is not functioning and what so ever.
So I am still waiting for the Part 2 of the story in the discovery channel....

That has to be truly hard for Dominique. For her health especially. I have not seen this show you mentioned but have seen other sad similar ones. It is sad and no matter how much some of them try it is quite a struggle.
I wish Dominique all the best as I am sure she wants to live a regular active life.

Yes it is really a struggle, I am weighing 148 pounds and am really having a struggle in my weight, I got easily tired, how much more for 600 pounds, she can't walk because she can't get her body up, to heavy for her.
Aside from that i notice one thing in show, her daughters, i am not saying that her daughters have no respect to her or something like no cooperation, One reason why she kept begging for favorite food is because her daughters is showing that they are eating biscuits, drinking cola in front of her. It's just like saying I am eating this and you have to eat that.....

That is sad because part of her dedicated weight loss will require a lot of family support. Gosh I do wish her well.

yes you are right, in a family each and everyone needs a support from a family. In order to be successful we need to cooperate with each other, but as i can see in this movie some of her daughters are not cooperative enough, well they show they love her but that's in another way.

I don´t remember the name of the woman, but I saw part of a show about a woman so big that her daughters had to climb with a ladder to the windiw in her room to wash her hair. I think this is terrible, not only for the woman but because her daughters were her slaves as she couldn´t get out of her bed.

Last night I saw a show about a woman who weighted 433 pounds...She got a personal coach and you got to follow her progress...unfortunately a friend called just when they weighted her and she had already lost 100 pounds and he had bought her a new car....I was so happy for her...but I missed the end of the program. It was following her for a year..hope to catch the rerun someday so I can see how she turned out!

That was great, she loses 100 pounds and a have new car, I am trying to research more about Dominique on what really happen in the net but i can't find any, i only watched it in the discovery channel.
However, with or without a price we need to take of our self.
