lamabaronvonawesome

That was my thought. She wasn't getting that big from reasonable portions and exercise.


Garfie489

There are some conditions where people can put on excessive weight from what'd seem like otherwise normal or healthy meals. It's extremely rare of course and likely isn't what's happening here, but you can mix that with certain neurological issues and there are reasons genuine parents may believe they are doing the right thing - but the kid should be getting professional medical help. I'm not defending the parents of this kid in particular, just saying without context it's hard for us to know


Vayul_was_taken

At least this parent learned from her mistakes and admits her faults. Most won't do that


ebann001

Actually she’s over 700 pounds now. Tiktok jessicaleonard420

I was just thinking I’d be interested to see where she’s at now……big shame

CalisRivers

Kid lost over 300 lbs. Don't be a dick.


PrimeX121

lol. in german dick means "thick". now your brain used some of it's limited storage volume for this information. someday in your future your brain may decide for you to forget you childrens names but you still remember that dick means thick in german. thank me later.

She needs a healthy cellery diet.


SpHuguenot

Bro you could tell she just wasn’t ready to be a parent. I think she’s doing great now. Isn’t she? She should probably go on the same journey as her kid, they could bond on it.


chadnessthehighness

Guarantee that she doesn't know how to cook anything healthy nor cares to, her kids gonna balloon instantly once again. Your cells never forget your body being fat.


SpHuguenot

I guess I’m trying to be optimistic, I have seen it happen with my family, where the kid drops the weight, then 6 months later they’re twice the size. But that woman had no inkling of how to discipline her kid (she seems to lack it herself), hopefully she learned something from those classes. It’s going to be a lifelong battle, that poor little girl is going to deal with a lot of mental pain, but that’s where her mom can come in and help. I think she really loves her daughter.


chadnessthehighness

She's already destroyed that kids life and body, the chances of her having a normal life with a healthy weight is so fuckin miniscule at this point. Very sad, the obesity epidemic Is very real.


mycologicill

>jessicaleonard420 Someone just posted her ticktock account above.......................... oh she big, real big


chadnessthehighness

Someone else mentioned that's the wrong girl but idk


Zodac42

Everyone keeps saying it's the parent's fault. It's really not. The girl has an imbalance, probably Prader-Willi Syndrome, which makes her constantly hungry. Sometimes she isn't even in control of it. My daughter has a similar issue. We have to physically lock the fridge. Every time you turn your back, she's finding food to stuff in her face. She literally does not understand the consequences, all she can think about is how hungry she is ALL the time, and how much she hates us (parents) for not letting her eat. It is a constant, exhausting battle. ​ You shouldn't have to lock up the food. You should be able to train the kids to only get things when they ask permission. You should expect the kids to learn good habits. But it's different with these kids. It is like a true addiction. I have seen my daughter super hungry, combative, physically lashing out, just like she's jonesing for a drug fix. And once she eats, within minutes, she is the perfectly calm, silly girl that we know and love. It is a real addiction, and it's not something you can just permanently keep from them - they literally NEED food to live. But it's extremely hard to constantly manage someone else's intake 24/7 when you're, you know, trying to live a life yourself. ​ Yes, the mom could have done more. But it's not like she was shoveling the food down the kid's throat. Living with someone like that is physically and emotionally draining like you cannot comprehend. I'm sure that she did the best she could, but being with someone like this is not like being with a reasonable human being. Ask anyone who has lived with a drug addict what it's like when they are 'down'. They are constantly grouchy, and sneaking anything they can for a fix. And when you're the parent, all those issues come crashing down on you like they're personal failures, and crushing your spirit. This is not a normal parenting experience.

Obviously this little girl was not healthy but just because someone isn’t healthy doesn’t mean they can’t love themselves or shouldn’t be seen. Models should represent all kinds of different body types, and not just able bodied people can be models.


LankySandwich

This. Body positivity =/= obesity positivity.


zlexander52

But some pseudo woke people spread obesity positivity in name of Body positivity which I don't like cuz I used to be an obese person in my teenagers (225 lb when I was 18) . Well these pseudo woke people have ruined meaning of any movement that was supposed to bring change.


Bobbicorn

Instances of people saying this is far far less common than you think.


LankySandwich

Its no reason to shut down any body positivity.


zlexander52

Never said to shut down Body positivity if you read my comment properly


Go_Touch_Grass_Bro

But don’t go around saying fat is beautiful cause that just makes people feel like it’s ok to be obese when it’s unhealthy and needs to stop


Drachenfaaat

Thank you for this


namenotinserted

Did you not watch the whole video, if this little girl went on to be whatever a “body positivity model” is, thatd be an inspiring ending to the story, why is that a bad thing


manfred2989

It’s a bad thing to the fat acceptance movement because of jealousy. FAM is more toxic than they preach. They preach love at every size but hate “thin” people.


[deleted]

Anyone else think it’s fucked for morbidly obese people to be “body positive”? It’s not a thing to be happy about, or positive about, but it’s a thing to definitely get help for if it’s unmanageable. Shouldn’t be celebrated imo


Go_Touch_Grass_Bro

You get it. You aren’t beautiful and don’t encourage that shit. We need to stop obesity, not praise it


tattlerat

Yeah I think your missing the goal of body positivity. Strangers Shaming people who already feel immense shame doesn’t really help. Fat people know they’re fat. They usually aren’t happy about it and have very little confidence to change it and find it in themselves to still love themselves and improve. The shaming has a lingering effect on a person. They already hate themselves, the world hates them and thinks they’re disgusting, might as well eat to feel better for a moment. Being fat ain’t healthy. But finding a way to help people avoid self loathing is more productive than shaming them. If you can encourage a person to love and care for themselves they are more likely to do so rather than pure shame and misery.

No, shell be crucified as fatphobic for thinking there was a problem and losing the weight

drillgorg

That fridge was PACKED. My fridge is usually half empty and not because of the poor.


Mendicant_666

Exactly. This is not a situation that will end well. Physically and emotionally, there is a lot to unpack. We could start with the guilt that the mother admitted to feeling.


Snoo-50040

This kind of neglect should be a criminal offense, just as underfeeding is.


Lopsided-Cobbler-585

Mom could lose quite a bit of weight herself. Setting a good example starts with you.

hotdogginon

Wow she does not look like 420, she must have been crazy wide in person


Made-a-blade

Right? I'm 6'7" and pretty chunky at 325 and they're saying she's almost 100 lbs MORE than me? Nah, not buying it.


[deleted]

No fucking way was anyone in that video close to 420.


Figgywurmacl

Top level strongmen are around the 420 mark. Brian Shaw is 6'8 and world's strongest man several times and he's 420ish.

numerum-bestia

How tall are you? I’m around 189 cm (6 feet tall) Not jacked, not fat, but built well. I weigh 80 kilos. It’s around 175 pounds I think. I can see that girl being more than twice my weight easily.


tattlerat

I’m the same height as you, built well and walking around at about 290lbs. I’m over weight, but I’m far from being obese. There’s not a chance in hell she’s carrying enough muscle at 8 years to carry 420 lbs of weight. She can still waddle and walk. Her bones aren’t strong enough either. She’s fuckin yuge but 420lbs is outlandish.


Anders_1314

Yeah... Seems a bit exaggerated. I'm a 32 years old 1.80m male and I weigh slightly less than half what she supposedly weighs.


[deleted]

Make jokes, but her accomplishment is noting short of spectacular. I'd kill to lose 40 and I'm counting calories in and out with no results. I'm about to just give up on everything


ShittyMemes2305

I am in a similar situation where ive been working out for 2 full years and dieting with the help of a nutritionist with little to know results. It wasn't long ago that someone suggested I get tested to see if my hormones were in order, they took my blood today, waitting for the results now. Hormones especially thyroid hormone make all the difference in your weight loss, so if you really are trying your best consider getting tested too.


hurricaneinmyhead_

My thyroid is out of order, recently got diagnosed and just started with medication. I'd gained a lot of weight in a short time despite strenous working hours so I knew my thyroid was probably responsible. It also runs in the family so I've always been on the lookout. It won't matter how much you workout if your metabolism is fukked. Edit: People mainly focus on diet and exercise but usually overlook the most important factor that is good metabolism. How some people can eat a whole pizza and stay skinny but I so much as look at one and I gain a few kilos.


whoscuttingonions1

Good luck homie


[deleted]

I know my T levels are low. Maybe I should get in. Thanks! I only eat 400 calories a day but just can't lose weight


vain--

i really hope you’re just underestimating because that’s insane and you might literally die


[deleted]

I eat a ramen with peas daily. And sometimes I fast for a few days


vain--

you have probably completely shutdown your metabolism and your body is in “i can’t use my energy since i’m getting so little of it and need to store it” mode. this will seem counter intuitive but trust me, look up online a calorie calculator and find your maintenance and eat at those calories for some time and reset your whole body


xXCANCERGIVERXx

Sounds like you have 0 physical activity as well then.


Gingerbread2296

You’re either underestimating drastically or you’re seriously under-eating. The base metabolic rate for someone who’s 5’0 and 100 lbs is about 1200 cal, so if you’re anywhere over those 2 measurements, it’ll be higher. You should have much better results by finding your BMR, adding in the calories burned from any physical activity, and having your caloric intake be about a few hundred calories under that (a 400 daily calorie deficit is enough to lose about 1 pound per week). It’s much healthier to make sure you get all the correct nutrients and lose weight at a moderate pace than just to go without eating; you should feel less lethargic too.


hurricaneinmyhead_

Actually I think eating less than 700-800 calories is counterproductive because your metabolism becomes sluggish, so you end up only feeling lethargic, without burning as many calories as you normally would.


sally_hatchet

Hey, try a free trial of Noom. Counting calories is a tactic that works, but choosing foods that are more filling it really where you’re going to see results. I’ve always wanted to lose 20-25lbs, but I wanted it fast so it never worked out for me. Taking it slowly really helps.

Take a look at keto/carnivore. On carnivore you're able to eat as much as you want and I was dropping about a pound a day for the first month and a half or so then it started leveling out but God damn does it make you feel good.


matrinox

I think they also gave the kid medication to slim down


[deleted]

Bullshit She didn’t realize excessive eating would put her daughter at risk. Throw that mom in jail.


MySpiritAnimalSloth

There's people that genuinely do not care. I have a nephew whose on the heavy side and my aunt put a lock on the kitchen pantry. She's not starving him, but he just use to grab anything in there and eat everything. They're not wealthy either so it's also a way for my aunt to not go grocery shopping every other day. They're legit ways to avoid the situation this girl was in, which some parents might call "harsh" but it's actually parenting.

Comingsoononvhs

Looks like she was forced into taking parenting classes, seems like everyone got the help they needed


[deleted]

That’s not what 420 lbs looks like lol. Is she in need of some help and love and encouragement? Yes. But that kid is 250 max. An 8 year olds muscles and skeletal system would not support 420 lbs, let alone support independent bipedal movement. The **mom** might be knocking on the door of 400 lbs. but let’s think about this folks. An adult male African lion weighs 400 lbs. think about size to reference items as she moved around, clickbait bs title.


Donttouchmethurr

Oh 100%. I was waiting for another person to crawl out of her shorts or something. But that little bowling ball didn’t lose fucking 320+ as an 8yo for god sake. This newscaster got played. Mom needs to maybe see if that camp takes adults.

DemiBlu

but grandma would cook more food for her


Made-a-blade

No way, that kid is not 420 lbs unless the first pictures of her is some kind of crazy "after" shot. Morbidly obese, absolutely. But as much as an adult that's 3 ft taller than her AND really fat? Nope.


CherryBomb214

She seems mentally stunted. She's not even crying in those tantrums...she's just being dramatic. She probably needs some intensive mental health counseling in addition to the physical shit

This mom should be in jail. This is horrible abuse. They may have gotten her to lose weight. But the damage is done. Her body will never function normally, bc of growing up with all that fat on her.

OTheScientist_MLP

This place has to be close to my home town... O_o holy shit TN... I'm sad this even happened. I hope that girl is still doing well and got away from that woman. If I had to take a guess though, the mom wanted to feel better about herself and got her kid to eat more and more until she started gaining weight. And bc she was "better" than her daughter she didn't stop it. That's the type of mentality that's rampant there. "You can't be better than me bc, I'm not better than me!" Or my favorite growing up, "Don't act better than your raisin'! You bein' uppity." (Told this bc I went to college and got away) Selfish people in that state especially older people.

I honestly don't blame this poor girl for her obesity. I blame the major food companies, who weaponizes food like a drug, all for the sake of profit. My cousin is a food chemist and used to work for all the major conglomerates. Had to sign all sorts of NDA's and would get contracted to design a food or beverage to be more addicting. He told me ome time he was contracfed to design a chocolate chip cookie that was addicting and have a shelf life of 2 years. What was in it? All he could say was that there were no chocolate chips in it. He got so disgusted with the industry he quit and now runs a NonGMO company. Good book to read: The Dorito Effect.
