- this video was pre-recorded before I went in for surgery. I'm still in the hospital but sent this one to go live so you guys could see it while I was gone!
I can't really speak for other people but the reason I let myself get so overweight is simply because I didn't care. Worse, I was self destructive and didn't really want to be around. So I used food as a self destructive tool to do all of this damage.

boogie2988 hi boogie
Love you too boogie
MC DONALDS
Hope it all goes well my man
wooord rest up big homie
I had bypass surgery in 2002. Day of surgery I was 476 pounds. On the 1 year anniversary of the operation I was 215lbs! I did everything they told me too. Exercised. Etc. if you do that you'll have no problems. If you guys have any questions message me. I may do a video on my experience on my channel if enough people are interested.
Wow amazing keep that up (:
Jeremy Fowler great job man!
Jeremy Fowler need to get him to see this
InSkengsWeTrust .T I know and I hear ya. We need to wayyy more likes
yeah browsky make that vid I wanna see it
The story about your mom and food is heart breaking to me.
It's both fantastic and terrifying to be confined in this amazing thing that is the human mind.
Capable of wonders like happiness and love, horrors like fear and depression.
With all the beautiful marvels of humanity's achievements along with it's most atrocious acts all coming from this one place.
Dude just accept that philosophy died when the ancient Greeks did.
"along with it's most atrocious acts all coming from this one place." Such as mistyping "its"?
Aye, that is the worst! xD
TheTubeYou I cannot even...
+TheTubeYou Everyone is a philosopher, some are just better at it than others.
I got an ad for McDonald's before this video started. It's nice to know CZcams has a sense of irony.
Kangascloud Didn't know McDonald's didn't help boycott CZcams.... hmm
MOJYKZ hey bud, did you just fly in from stupid town?
CZcams you sunova biscuit
Kangascloud Lol
J4KE
Hey, man, do you realize that they're just joking and they do know that CZcams doesn't pick the ads. So please relax and take a joke.
You don't have to like Boogie but you have to respect him and anyone who admits there faults. They're rare to come by but kids, this is what you call a man.
yeesss sarg. i miss your videos
+Lil b very based, very proper says the guy who talks shit indirectly to people though the internet lul
Lil b very based, very proper kids a 15 year old troll on the internet who would get fucking whooped if he said that to anyone's face.
On what planet is this a man lol
Male whale maybe
Anybody on here who is gonna hide behind an internet alias and criticize boogie should think about how much hard work he's put into becoming a successful CZcamsr and then consider if they've ever done anything close to as impressive.
That's messed up about the mom over feeding on purpose. Never seen that specific manifestation of Munchausen's by proxy.
Yikes! More like munchy-hausen's.
HeavyProfessor it's fact
Also you're articulate, and intelligent
It takes a man to admit his mistakes, that's why I have up most respect for you boogie. Hope the surgery went well and be sure to rest up!
amen man
You can do it. I'm working to lose 70 pounds , 10 gone so far!
Good luck man hope you gain it back!
ChiDeli when is your twelve birthday because you're so immature
good luck dude I know you can do it
step by step pound by pound dont give up and work on it , next time you will write 20 gone so far, keep at it
Courtney Lightcap Maybe you should check to whom the comment was aimed at and what he said.
Takes a lot of balls to come out and say this and be true to yourself to hold yourself accountable. Respect, wishing and hoping for the best Boogie.
I also messed up my body, I always have severe chronic nerve pain so I feel you brother. I am trying to change my lifestyle now and fix things, stay positive.
One of the strongest CZcams creators
And biggest
Charlie Akin and kindest
Anita Sarkeesian begs to differ lol
He's amazing!
Charlie Akin
Is there actually any proof he was abused as a child or is boogies gateway for attention? Sounds like there was plenty of food in the house and to be 'abused by his mother through food' seems abit dramatic, seems abit strange.. sometimes i think he makes it all up to try and convince himself its not his fault and is not just a greedy lazy pig.
I'm proud of you! I am going through the same thing. I have been through so much pain, that I was killing myself by food. You inspire me to do better. I'm on this ride with you, brother. Love you!
God bless you dude, good luck!
EndGame Thank you! I appreciate it!
Good luck to both of you!!
If he puts a hoodie on he becomes A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie
VF7 haha xD
haha lol
I just recently started watching you boogie and I feel so happy for you that you managed to work on your mental health and you're doing so so much better. I hope after your gastric band your quality of life becomes so much better. I understand how bad mental health can be and it should be taken just as seriously as physical health. You're one of the few youtubers that you know is a genuinely nice people and not just putting on a show so I wish you the best from me and everyone in scotland x
Something actually changed in me when I heard him say "get your shit together" - it was very inspiring
Fad3dRift Well, words like that are always motivating and they make you wanna accomplish something in life 💪🏼😊
JaxPrice Films inspiring for a few days. Then you get surgery
Same here man. I felt the need to watch gay midget porn.
Fad3dRift yesss
Cucco why
Your awesome man! Congrats for all the progress you've made in life!! Your a huge help to me. Ive been smoking pot for over ten years . Decided to stop the moment you went into surgery! You help thousands of people with every single video. Thank you bro. You've shown me over the year how to live again, when for so long I forgot. Your awesome, one of the most impactful people I've ever found. We love you too, we really do! Praying for you.
nice job justin, keep it up
we both know your wallet will be alot fuller
Justin Bell hold up, why would you quit pot ? like quit cigarettes, dhoka , anything nicotine related, heck stop DRINKING ! don't do messed up drugs , but what's wrong with weed ? I mean no offense , I'm simply asking.
Justin Bell Boogie is awesome! He's a huge inspiration to a lot of people! My mom has started doing workouts and I am super proud of her, she has been cutting a lot of things out of her diet and she pushed those things out of her life. I started working out when I was 12 years old and I am still on that workout plan. My mom told me how I was one of the people that inspired her to start exercising. I'm proud that I'm a part of that.
Decided to stop smoking since he went into surgery? LMAOOOOO.
I'm 6'8 I used to weigh 340 lbs and I just did not care. Now I'm 255 lbs and I feel good :)
You are tall as fuck.
+Archmage Nick so what, are u jelly or something.What kind of pleasure do u get after calling him tall as fuck lol
Zentrix Pro I think he was just making an observation, because that is tall.
wtf. 6'8. thats bs
I wasn't insulting him, I was making an observation. I'm 16 years old and 5'9.
I just wanted to say, thank you! I have followed you over the years and i never really realized what I was doing to myself, you've made it all clear to me. I too struggle with a mental illness and i was always self destructive with family, friends and relationships..... and i guess in the last 5 years its really caught up to me. You've made me realize this .... and i thank you so very much. I love your videos... you're amazing and i wish you the best, keep doing what you're doing!
Watch carbonated beverages after surgery.
A burp gets rid of the full feeling
I have hope for you. I have wanted to start a page just for myself to keep myself motivated..
In a previous video he had said after surgery he won't even be able to handle soda anymore
Emmerich Vale I believe he’s talking about carbonated water
Arslan Chaudhry He can not handle carbonated beverages.
+Astral Emperor it's still safe to handle them just not drink them
Boogie honestly bro, as someone who is 17 and has chronic depression suffered by everyone in my family and extended family and having a screwed up childhood. I honestly think you've done fucking amazingly with ur attitude. I have family who were suicidal over much less extreme experiences. So well done man. Hope you exceed your own expectations.
king 304 Stay strong, man. Try to set the example for the rest of your family.
Boogie I am going through the bariatric journey with you as well but I found you for all of your current events videos etc way back in the day. We had very similar past experiences to get where we are now.
I wish nothing but the best for you, I hope that you are recovering well. Life is a journey, as cheesy as it sounds. And you will grow (and hopefully shrink!) from this and I am excited for your next steps. You seem to be healing and it's motivating to see. Thank you for being so open and honest and sharing.
Boogie, I can relate a lot with how you feel, the self destructive behavior, the mental health issues, everything. I'm 28 and I've recently decided to make a change and try and get healthy. I've quit the online games I was addicted to, started working out and taking care of myself and just overall trying to make a change.
That being said I just wanted to thank you for this video in particular. It's very important to know that there are others out there who have struggled with the same things and more importantly that it's beatable. Hopefully the changes both you and I are making will be long term, because like you I've been feeling so much better.
Take care my friend.
I honestly didn't think you were that old. you legit look like mid to late 30's😂
Yeah I thought he was 30
Jeff Fuller ehhh.... Idk
and 300LBS
Jeff Fuller because hes stressed
True dat
A lot of these comments disgust me. Good luck Boogie, we are all rooting for you. Well, maybe not all, but screw those guys, they are assholes anyway. You go Boogie, I hope you lick this think once and for all.
Lick.. lol. Idk if you did that on purpose but that's great.
Omnifiend u know what's funny
He's never saw his dick for years
😂
This is one of the most profoundly sad videos I have ever seen. First off, I'm so sorry you had such a tough beginning and that you dealt with so much abuse. But, you should feel so proud of how far you've come! If you can go from the absolute depths of hell and come out the other side and want to get better and put so much effort into doing so, that is one hell of an achievement! I've been struggling with mental illness only for a short while, but I've been to the brink and come back and you inspire me to keep going to therapy and keep getting better, so thank you. I wish you every success, you've more than earned it.
I get it. I am in the same boat as you, but I just top 500 pounds. I am 52 soon to be 53 and until now I did not care if I lived or died. I can not say if today I am 100% willing to live. I also ahd a very abusive mother and I have been known to be abusive myself. I can not get the surgery I am on disability and they will not cover it. So I really do not know what I am going to do or what I can do. But I am a fan, I reached out to you a few years ago, I doubt if you would rememebr me but I am still here and am a loyal fan. Good luck to you
Good luck to you! Let's keep living and take it one day at a time.
Keto diet and salad, if it doesn't kill you, I guess.

Sometimes I just wanna give him a big old boogie hug
The end result? Him managing to tip over crushing every single bone in your body thus ending your life. Have fun.
Eaklyy Fuck off dude
Eaklyy you're a special kind of stupid.
MiloThaGamer it's just heavy banter
yea.... i don't think your hands will reach each other
Dang I didn't know he was 43
I think his round face makes him look younger
KRAZY K yea he looks like 20
meme MEME lmfao! Younger!? He looks old. At least in his 50's
Ooo! I want to join the age mis-guessing! I thought he was late 30's.
KRAZY K my dad is 43
Really nice video. You're a very intelligent person and I enjoy hearing you speak. My son is struggling with alcoholism, and it's leading him down a path that ends in misery and death. It is killing me inside. I just suggested to him to watch this video and substitute food with alcohol. The things that you say cross all boundaries and apply to people no matter what their problems are. My hope is that he figures out just what is eating at his very core and can come to terms with it and come out OK in his skin.
Keep on keepin' on, boogie, and know that you are helping more people than you know.
Hey boogie, I stumbled upon this video after Obese To Beast shared it. Being someone who was 320 lbs when I was 16, and someone who has lived with eating issues his entire life even through becoming a personal trainer and a nutrition coach, I totally understand what you are going through. I am so proud of you for doing this for yourself bro, I know you can overcome this shit, the road is tough but you can do this. If you need any advice as far as nutrition or exercise goes, please please please reach out to me I would love to help you bro. You're an incredible individual for putting yourself out there like this, so many people need to hear this. Thank you thank you thank you!
This is for you man... Don't even worry about what people who may view you on this think.. I guarantee personal health is very much in the name.. Sharing your experiences is real value to people.. I myself am self-destructive... And i've struggled to quit the things that have started to cause me harm and discomfort... Having people speak on this is great to hear.. How people got out is even better.. Mine is more of the illegal kind.
Ok thank you for supporting but your comment doesn't help :P
Boogie I love you and hope your surgery goes well
He's already out of surgery :)
I just checked his twitter and I'm happy he's fine! Hope he gets out of the hospital quick!
Tuukka Nisonen it did
It did, dummy.
Contextually if boogie posted it on Twitter wich I don't know but maybe he doesn't have twitter and therefore he didn't know so don't be so harsh k
I'm coming to this video late, but...Thank you so much. I could never vocalize it, but you put into words what I could never accept or even admit to myself. I year or so ago I finally felt that want to live. After realizing that I probably have many years left. I don't want to continue living with my old friend Misery. I want to enjoy every moment that i have left. To do that I need to shed my excess "baggage". I choose the fitness route because that is the type of life that I want. I've had a brief taste of life being fit. Those were the only 2 years of life that I can recall being truly happy and content. I want to feel that again. I am slowly learning to enjoy food without using it as a flail or a means to facilitate my escape. I struggle with it. The fitness part is very intimidating, but I continue on. Thanks for your open and honest words.
Found you by accident, stayed to listen. Thank you so much for talking about the causes of morbid obesity. It goes so much deeper than just over-eating. I'm so glad you made the choice to get help, stick with it and heal from the shit that happened to you as a child. It's a long hard road and I applaud you for having the stones to speak out and tell the truth about how this happens and what you can do about it. May you have many happy tomorrows!
Boogie this is what I needed to hear. I am 5 foot 240 pounds. I was working nutrisystem last year but my mom died. I knew that I wasn't able to do it after she died.
But what you said right there, I know I'm ready to do it mentally, that's where I'm at now. I have not had my mom for a year and four months. She was my pilar of strength, my everything. But I don't want to die the way she did. She suffered for two years and suffered in other ways her whole life. I know she doesn't want that for me and I don't want it either.
So you and I will work every day to get our shit together. I started nutrisystem yesterday and this time I'm gonna stay on it until I get down to a healthy wait and then some. Thank you.
Yes do it for your mom I'm sure she would have loved to see you healthy..
idiotmonkey12 💜💜💜💜💜
idiotmonkey12 eat lots of fruit! It's crazy how much of a change you'll see
P.s. don't count calories with raw fruits and vegetables
Good luck my friend and I pray that you get through the recovery and may it be a faster recovery than a health potion to an arrow to the knee.
Twitchy The Tunnel Rat the recovery after gastric bypass usually takes a few weeks, but you usually stay in the hospital for a few days
Powerful video man!
+ObesetoBeast thank you dude! You are awesome!
ObesetoBeast what do I do to loose love handles?
Andrew Wiggall eat fewer calories than burn
hey boogie man, you are a huge inspiration to me, and oher people throughout the world. you helped me alot, even if you didn't know it. when i was diagnosed with RRMS in march of 2017, i was depressed to no avail, my best friend just left me, and i realized that i might be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life. i gained about 30 pounds from 120 to about 160. i want you to know that ive followed you for a long time, and when you say things like "get your shit together" it really is a wake up call to people like me, and other people who have been suffering to get up and try to get your life on the right track again. and i want to thank you for that.
This is the realist shit on CZcams
Well you definitely don't look 43! More like 30
Uncle Sam being heavy makes you look young
correct me if I'm wrong but I think he's more around 500-600ish
I have never watched this channel but this is one of the best videos i have ever seen on this subject, the other major problem
with a food addiction is that you need food to survive so every day you wake up and are immediately reminded that you need to eat, and then you do and then you cant stop. It makes it so incredibly hard to try and cut down and trying to eat healthy foods is not only expensive it also doesn't taste good. but the fact that you have realized your problems and are facing them head on is really cool.
Boogie, you framed the reasons so well in this video. Mate I thought I was the only person who was in that head space and food was one of my very few enjoyments in life. I've just started to address my mental health and as a result I'm beginning to feel better. To make a video like this couldn't have been easy and you're brave for doing it mate. Im sitting around 308 pounds and am slowly on the decline now.
Keep up the great work mate, I hope the surgery does amazing things for you!
from a man who did rage type videos in 2011-2013 i wouldn't expect this type of stuff
You're fucking brave as hell, I cant imagine airing the things you do to millions of people. I hope everything works out the way you want it to, have a speedy recovery.
Want to see brave? He could put on a pair of shorts and get up and work out. No instead he buys useless shit and cries on how he has issues
Roland no he has been trying to make himself a better person watch his latest video
Baddest Kaji wait a few months and see him Dodge the topic again
If you knew your video would net you thousands of dollars it would make it easier.
As someone who also has several emotional and mental issues this really spoke to me. I found that I could heavily relate to going through both mental and physical issues. It is never easy and it is something that will never end in any real sense. Boogie the progress you have made and continue to make is an inspiration to me. It shows that with the help of loved ones and self-determination that you can overcome even the darkest parts of yourself and your past. I was honestly have a shitty day and was depressed about my situation in life and felt like I would never be able to achieve my dreams so why bother even trying. Your video showed me that one of the biggest obstacles that you have to take on is your own mindset and that you should never stop trying even when everything in your head and body tells you that you should. From a fan who finds you an inspiration, Thank you.
Dude...you got 4.2 Million friends! That's one hell of a positive thing to focus on :) Keep the spirit up man! Lot's of love from Spain!
Eneko Prins how is that positive? Alot of friends dont mean shit, why do you think celebrities are misserable? Give me a break
I'm 17 and I've been self-destructive for 4 years now. In my case it's not having abusive parents or a horrible childhood. No one has ever even bullied me (much). I just hate myself. I have friends who ask me to spend time with them, but I never do because I keep thinking all the possible ways I could embarrase myself. Many times I have tried to gather strength and be somehow proud of what I am, but every time I just fall back to depression. Good luck Boogie with fixing your life.
PrimarisGeneseedIsHeresy please understand that we are human. We make mistakes and embarrassed ourselves. We aren't perfect my friend . Find yourself a,friend who won't judge you. Start small and find yourself hanging out with your friends. Please love yourself. Take care my friend. Remember, it's ok to mess up . Your real friends won't judge
I would suggest watching some Eckhard tolle or jordan peterson, you can learn a lot from them as I suffer from the same thing you do
PrimarisGeneseedIsHeresy I am exactly like you. I really love my friends but I cancel plans because I'm such an awkward person.
PrimarisGeneseedIsHeresy Success comes from failures, keep that mentality. You can only help yourself of you WANT to be helped.
Here's the thing. You'll get 2 types of people replying to your comment, the type of people that are in the same situation as you and they relate. Or there are the people that are out of it and were once in it, and they're giving you tips or whatever on how to get out. But they don't really remember what it was like to be in that situation. I'm currently in the process of getting out and if you want to talk, send me a message or whatever.
❤Love you boogy fuck the haters❤
Zachary Boswell Jake Paul would dab on em haters
ZeroDude SaVaGe
ZeroDude jake Paul sucks dick
Zachary Boswell *savage*
Boi what are you talking about? He's not making this video for any haters tf
Amazing video! Im proud of you as well. Allthough I have never been in your place (expecialy as a adolescent), I have been slightly overweight periodically on my 18 years on this planet. My only advice to you is too REALLY picture who you want to be and fight everyday and night to become them. Fight as hard as you can, and its okay to be hard on your self when you dont. Set extream "lines" that you will not cross. Maybe only drink water, every, no matter what. Or never at a fast food establishment. You may suffer, but it is nessisary. I belive in you and your doing a good job. Keep it up.
Absolute respect!!!
Boogie Get well soon we love you!
Lots of love from Finland!!❤
Clorox Bleach usually you say something along the lines of: "drink me" or "kill yoself". But good for you, for keeping it fresh :)
Sometimes i feel like to spread positivity!
:)
Anus Likker didn't know your Finnish . The more you know
Torilla tavataan
I'm glad you're able to look back on your stance on this topic, and give yourself some introspective criticism. Not many people are willing to do that, and I find that in itself inspiring. Best wishes to you on your recovery, I'm glad you'll be taking us with you on that quest.
I'm 20 and 400+ pounds, I have depression and anxiety, I wish I could've changed my life. I hate being this way
CTZNs are you lying
no, go see my vids youll see my face
you still can change it. dont give up. Ask you doctor or anyone for help
Try Ketogenic. It's difficult to start since we have addiction to food but I kept at it and have been kept for three months now. I had a lot of abuse from Mom but I over came it. Cutting out sugar and carbs eliminated my panic attacks and depression.
You're not aware of how much power you have to find happiness for yourself
I know you get a lot of comments but I truly hope you see this one. This video really resonated with me.. I too had a bad childhood and turned to food as a self destructive manor. I was 300+ lbs at age 15 and was miserable. I too wanted to eat myself to death. I am now 24 and 150 ish lbs, and have been really loving eating healthy food. When you said you're as determined to get your health up now compared to when you wanted to diminish it, I teared up because I really feel that.
I am so proud of you, we all are. Thank you so much for sharing this, it's comforting to know someone else has had those same feelings and struggles and is making it! Here's to our health!
#gotboogiesback
Are going to wipe his crusty ass?
If I do then who's going to make shit comments? I'm providing a service, you should be sucking me off.
He does make a good point
Louis Nylan Wow don't you have a heart? He's going through a dangerous surgery and your going to say that shit? That's shameful of you
You drop down to 180-200 lbs and so many of your symptoms are going to vanish
Being motivated now is easy - it's can you stay motivated two years from now
Lord Thornton Eddington ofcourse he is
Check his second channel - history has shown pretty clearly - no he can not.
Aleksander Hegge he's gotten used to eating with the post-op diet meaning his hunger pangs don't happen as often or as severely. Plus, he is forced to eat less now because of the surgery. You just need to find some positivity because there is some in every situation.
Boogie - I watched this video over the summer (4, 5 months ago). I wrote down what you said, about despite everything, even on your worst days - food was there. I related to that so much... feeling literally controlled by this addiction. I finally did get my ish together. I started nutrisystem November 1. I have 100 pounds to lose. Watching your video again today, I feel like I'm starting to finally conquer some of those demons.
Thank you for making this video, I believe it was the very beginning of realization for myself and the journey I need to take.
I'm routing for you and rolling with u boogie I myself had a Vietnam vet father who drank and beat me for no good reason when I was a child and my mother who worked over nights didn't discover it until years later when my older siblings told her however we make progress and take it one day at a time
rooting
Can't wait to see boogie when he's out of the hospital :D were all here for you boogie :)
When you mentioned you tried to commit suicide at 14, that made me sad, I have bad anxiety and social anxiety, and OCD harm obsessions. And these past couple weeks I've had thoughts about suicide and it's the worse thing ever😥
Windex Glass Cleaner I know he got the surgery I just saying he hasn't talked about it at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Striking Blitz he already was tho 😂👌
Denzel Matulessy I know that.......
Striking Blitz just remember to breath in the air of peace every time you find something incredible enjoyable, savor that moment and think about it every time you get an attack if you can.
Striking Blitz i have ocd anxiety too but now i realise that our life is the most important thing we have and any obstacle can be defeated.try to be happy and happiness will come to you.
I don't know you Boogie, but you have my deepest respect! Talking about this topic is not easy, I know that. Being so honest to us makes me love CZcams even more. I wish you the best for your life!
It's surprising but life's knocks can make some people stronger over time. Knowing you can get through a low point really does help you survive when you hit it again. If you're lucky to live long enough you realise we're all fighting our personal battles. We're not alone. Thanks for the video Boogie, it makes so much sense but only cause you survived and got to this point in your life to be able to look back and take proper stock. People suffering should take serious note, there does come a point when you're truly glad you didn't 'check out' sooner.
BOOGIE you are so beautiful strong and courageous for being who you are today with all of the things that you have been through. To have lived through all of the things you have been through and to know your flaws, and take action against them, but also share the human side of you to millions of people. Just words cannot express how incredible you are. Many people on this world are not mature or strong enough to admit to themselves (yet alone others) about their own demons.
I do not share the level of pain or hurt that you have, but knowing and what you have been through and how you are bettering yourself as a person and ADMITTING to yourself and KNOWING those flaws to change them around and be the better man really inspires me. I have a list of inspirational people on my life and you are in that top 10 list. :)
Rooting for you
Watching the video and reading the description, I never knew how much I related to Boogie. Sure, I'm not as overweight as Boogie but the idea's the same. I just never cared, I was almost nihilistic. I've been overweight for years and just never looked at it as harmful. Unlike Boogie, however, I was fortunate enough to not have to have gone through the abuse he did, but I still to this day try and change my eating habits. And he's right, there is no excuse for doing what I'm doing.
God bless
Xeno Gaming praying you will get through this
Xeno Gaming I hope you have a lovely day. :)
Xeno Gaming I hope you have a lovely day. :)
hey boogie, i am 14yrs old and currently about 200lbs, 5"6 and this video has inspired me to sign up for the gym. I just wanna say thank you.
ChancePlays goodluck bruuh 👍👍
I'm 14 about 6ft and about 250lbs but I do lift weights regularly
thank you :)
ChancePlays I'm 16 6'0 and 275
im 13, 5'9, 150lbs fuck
Ok. Holy crap. What an eye opening 'Ted Talk' here! I had no idea about the win win situation you had in your mind about getting to die early AND enjoying the one thing that made you happy. That is seriously such an interesting statement. Another thing that shocked me is what your mom did to you, bless your heart. But most of all, the mental click you had and the courage to reach out to reality and tell people about it I think is one of the most amazing things I have seen anyone do. Look forward to seeing your journey through physical recovery! We have already seen the mental recovery, and we know you can do it and push through >3 take care and all the best.
Greetings from Switzerland
Thank you. Thank you for this. Our stories are eerily similar. I never even realized that I had been in self-destruct mode until you said it. I was 12 when I first realized I wanted to die and tried for the first time. Like you, I couldn't take the easy route... so I set out on the longest, hardest one I could find. Now here I am, 39 years old and for the first time discovering that I actually do want to live. Over the last year my relationship with food has dramatically changed. There are very few things I can even stomach and fewer still that I actually find myself craving on occasion. The things I do crave, when I indulge, don't seem to be as wonderful as I remember them to be and leave me feeling... meh.
I've been a subscriber for a bit now and I will freely admit that it is this journey that brought me to your channel and not any of the previous gaming and what-not (sorry!) I wish you wouldn't apologize for sharing it, but completely understand the compulsion to do so. I suppose the majority of your fan base found you thru other avenues and you are afraid to lose their interest. You shouldn't worry about it! You are a beautiful soul Boogie!! Thank you so very much for being brave enough to put yourself out there for the world. I know, truly understand, how very difficult that must continue to be even now that you've been doing it so long. I admire your courage! And once again, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Amongst all the positive and negative comments, here is a neutral one: you are responsible, but it's not your fault that said responsibility fell into your hands, and this was the only way for you to cope.
love you bro, pulling for you 100%
Hey boogie stop listening to these negative people. You doing great and I love you and your videos. I watch them all the time and I watch them when you post them. Now I've kept quiet but now I don't like people who think they are bullies. Your made the way you were made and that's it. Your perfect the way you are. Keep doing what you do and I'm glad you back from surgery and everything went well. Love you keep it up and stay positive my friend. Keep making people smile and laugh and cry with your stories and if some one doesnt want to watch and criticize then they can not watch. Love you!! Keep your head up.
This is a really insightful video, but insight can only take you so far. The one thing that it sounds like could still trip you up is - you say you're motivated, and that's awesome, but what you didn't mention - for the times when motivation runs out (and it always does, sometimes, that's only human, motivation is a finite resource) - you still have to have dedication and just plain build better habits. I genuinely hope the best for you, man.
Hey man, I've been a fan of you for a long time now, it's great things are finally getting better for you, you've been a massive influence on me and many others here amongst the CZcams community, you deserve this. I'm proud of you! All the best dude :)
I don't want to live in a world without Boogie. I'm proud of you Boogie keep it up!!!!
Wow. I can totally relate on this video you posted. I'm going to be 34 this year. I'm 6'3 430 lbs. I WANT to change my life. Every time I try and start to do it, something just pulls me back to poor habits. I really wish the best for you and I will be following along your journey.
JonFocus P3D u just gotta start working hard.
Fantastic and courageous video boogie. No one will truly ever know what someone else's mental illness is like. That's why it's infuriating when I see people comment on it and it's consequences, like it's the suffering person's fault. It's such a selfish and narcissistic way to go about life. Making the person feel worse isn't going to solve anything. Judging from the type of people that act like that however, I bet it gets them off in some sickening way.
Hope everything has gone well boogie, we all need ya more than ever
Boogie I and the other million subscribers have not and will not become tired by your content. We support you because you supported us. Thank you a thousand times and I pray to my God that your surgery will be quick and successful.
Andrew Cawley u
I know he will never see this comment but you guys need to respect this man he opens up his life and tells random about his life as if you were family and he treats you like family were all family on this earth and he has relized that and he has realized that he wants to live on this earth with his family and he is smarts enough to know how to change that so you can't put him down for you may think about him you know most of the story and think about if you had that life wouldn't you do the same thing and I thank you boogie for all the content it makes my day when I see a video notification pop up for your channel I hope you make it through this surgery and everything is ok you may not know me but I'm here for you, and thank you thanks man for the laughs and entertainment and I hope you have a long and great journey in life thank you👍🏻
I think this is the second or third video I've ever seen from you (I think the first one was one where you were ranting like crazy about a videogame, maybe Destiny?- and man did that scare me ;-) ). Anyway, today I came to your channel because I saw that you have over 4 Mio. subscribers (holy shit!) and I was really curious to see what kind of content you publish - so I picked around a bit and found this video from you and man! You have my respect - I will probably not watch so many other videos but this one alone with so much honesty, heart and a good message is worth those viewers that you have - I wish you the best !
Hope everything goes good
I'm 13 and 192lbs but I'm working out and going out for football to lose wait
Shut up how old are u and how much do u way
Darrell Smith he is probably 358 and is 11
Thx
good luck! make sure to eat more whole foods and less packaged and processed stuff :)
Darrell Smith same dude keep it up
Don't listen to the haters. You have about 3 million people behind you. You've got this man. One day at a time.
I'm going through the same problems as you, Boogie. I don't know how to fix it and stop myself from eating all the garbage that I do. It hasn't clicked with me, yet. I wish I had the opportunity to talk with you and hear from someone so kind and understanding about an issue they're also dealing with. I'm so glad that you're on the road to recovery. I hope I can join you soon.
Because Boogie knows that his fans like a thicc you tuber. That's the best one out of there
You're the man Boogie. Can't wait to go along with the next part of your journey.
Good on the educational approach to explaining it. :thumbs: I didn't realise you were a couple of years older than me. You look younger than me! :) xxx. That win/win explanation you've said is really logical and makes sense to me.
You do have peers,
You do have equals,
People idol you,
Your wife loves you,
Wahoo!
If its ok with you, then YAY MORE BOOGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've a close friend thats undergone similar things to you, and it is NOT the easy route just taking surgery!. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!
I have never seen one of your videos before but it is very brave that you were able to share such insecurities with the internet. Hope that your recovery goes well and that you continue on a good path! :)
I love your Honesty, very Refreshing. Thank you and love the channel!
You're fucking awesome brother!!!! So glad you never killed yourself... you're an inspiration to so many people out there! I suffer with anxiety and have had many episodes of depression and suicidal thoughts over my lifetime and I'm still here... we're still here! Keep doing your thing brother 👊 much love from England ❤
Just watched your newest video then this one. I can already tell just in your face how much happier and smaller you're getting. I'm so stoked to see you a year down the road.
I'm in the same position, learning about myself and my mental state of mind. And hoping to get better, we bloom then grow boogie, FEEL BETTER
Poor boogie your such a good guy I feel bad for you I didn't know you were abused as a child
Grant St.Clair they always have their excuses..
Get Rekt m8 I want to roast your insensitive rude ass right now so hard
Grant St.Clair Seems like you need to be a little bit more insensitive.
Nicholas Muller so your just going to let this random guy bully someone? I just fired back he can't say some B.S like that without someone firing back
Grant St.Clair It's definitely not bullshit, these people always have an excuse.
I think I might be one of the only few people that hate the character Francis, but absolutely love Boogie himself. Keep up the great videos, my guy. I hope everything goes perfectly
Same here
I liked Francis until boogie started talking about him as a character he does. Ruined the illusion.
I think it's a way to make fun of himself and entertain people at the same time, perhaps as a kind of coping mechanism.
I don't "hate" Francis, but I very much prefer Boogie himself too. Francis videos can be entertaining every now and then but its generally not my kind of content, Boogie's serious stuff on the other hand I think is enriching and provides wonderful perspective, the kind of stuff that will broaden one's own perspective from taking it in is what I really like.
same here. Boogie is a great guy. Heart of gold. Papa bless.
Why are so many of the comments just saying "why didn't you just stop" or similar? Boogie and other people's struggles with this are extremely complicated, it's not as simple as "stop". If it was, don't you think most people would have done that by now? I respect boogie so much for working hard to this point, this surgery will be a turning part in his life and i wish him all the best. He's sorted his mental health out, which hopefully will mean he will stop the binge eating now.
It takes so much work, and honestly i'm just so proud of you boogie. You have lost almost 100llb on your own. Only onwards from here after this surgery, the start of the rest of your life man!
Don't forget that people will be here for you, even if you do fail. People have loved you while you were big, you don't need to be skinny for people to be proud and care about you. Ironically enough, I had similar motivation for not eating, and that led to isolation, and I got to a point where I thought if I was skinnier, people would love me. And let me tell you, my friend, how wrong I was, and how destructive that mindset was. Stay apart of a community so that people can remind you that they care about you, because that's the most important thing for mental health.
I like your honesty!
Your
fixed
I hope the surgery goes well for you Boggie
RundownXp He already had surgery
This is very inspiring, shit's pretty rough for me right now, depression, suicidal thoughts. The usual. Hearing what you've been through and your thoughts really motivates me. I hope everything goes well for you and you succeed in your goals.
You're awesome Boogie keep up the good work
I really appreciate you sharing this with you audience. I rarely ever comment on videos, but this is very insightful. I have never been as big as you, but listening to you as helped me see myself in you and think hard about my life choices.
