Doug, I was in the same boat back in 2020. 630lbs. I was also living with my parents. I had a lot of medical complications. It felt like my world was ending. Not saying it’s going to be easy but the moment you decide to put yourself up first, it’s the moment you’ll change for the better. You got this brother. It starts with walking. It tons of protein and veggies. No more junk foods. Water! Water! Water! I’m currently 320. Lost 310 and I’m still losing weight. It takes time and dedication.
Congratulations. You're awesome. Keep going.
Congrats Brother, wishing you a great day
congrats
False hope
Congrats keep going 🎉
Doug, if you are reading this - buddy I hope you find strength to save your own life. You are worth it.
thank you, its certainly a process
You can do this doug, its hard but push through it.. set your mind at the future. See yourself the way you want to be, and dont stop till you get there. Its gonna take some time. Who cares what anyone thinks.keep pushing! Law of attraction works. Stay positive, big hugs to you ❤️
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 You got this Doug! We are all with you! Sending love your way from Germany!
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 I believe in you, dude! If you ever just want someone to talk to, feel free to reach out to me. If you want dieting advice, I can help with that as well. As a general rule of thumb, don't suddenly cut your daily calories in half. You can cut by maybe 100 calories per week until you're where you should be. You can still eat enough to make you feel full, but of healthier food. It's a struggle, but you're going to do great.
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 Doug!! We are so proud of you for taking this step to get better! We are cheering you on! If you have an Instagram page and are open to having us walk with you through this journey we would love to rally around you! Praying for you, Doug!
finally uploaded my first youtube video :) im so thankful for all the love and support!
I’m about to subscribe right now! 🔥💪🏾
@@Losochill thank you!! I’m still kinda new to it so the quality might be a little low but I’m trying!
Blessings to you!
Right on. Get it done, Doug. We’re rooting for you
@@douggiedoesfatlossgood luck Doug.
This fucking guy is upset with himself because he can't be there for other people. Dr. John was right. We need a LOT more people like Doug. This was the first Dr. John episode that made me cry.
...and Marines don't do that.
Same, I've watched a lot of these calls, and I have lead one hell of a tragic life, and this is the first one that made me cry. We all need to be more like Doug
Also thank you for your service Sir
kinda warped thinking.
@@aarondavid5866 not really. A lot of people love others, but hate themselves.
@@michaelallen1154 its warped to think that the most selfish people would love to help others now that they have rendered themselves helpless due to selfishness. yep they are the givers. stfu all of you destroy you
Delony’s heart is made of gold.! The compassion and love he shows people is so special!! We need more John’s out in the world.
So true..my heart was full listening to this
Mine too. ❤
Yes, I'm looking at Dr. John's face only 2 minutes into this video and my heart is touched...
Yeah I'm really thankful I found this channel. It's hard to come across people who just really care and are really devoted to helping people. John is certainly one of them and his commitment to helping people who are struggling is one of those profound examples of how good human beings can be when they choose to.
You have thousands of people rooting for you Doug! Get that goal!
We are all rooting for you Doug!!!! Thank you Dr. John for all that you do!
Listened to this in the car yesterday. This call is incredibly profound. There was a level of gravitas in the call and it really is special. We need more Dougs and Dr. Johns in in this world, with their hearts of servant leadership.
Right? I started crying it's so sad I think a lot of us can relate in some way even if some of us aren't bigger.
Thank you for the kind words!
So we'll said 🙏
John delony is the real deal. His compassion is genuine and he gives people hope that they are not in their pain alone. Most of the time all someone wants is validation that they are worth fighting for.
"They don't make hearts like yours anymore, Doug." I felt that, and I know Doug felt it too. It was powerful to hear you say that, Dr. John. Doug, if you end up reading this, just know that you are a good man and you deserve better. Internet strangers are rooting for you!
thank you
You all are making me cry with your sweet comments I love this community of people we are all rooting for Doug and I hope he sees all of these lovely comments.
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 How is the journey going Doug? I send you all the love and encouragement. I relate so much to you and your story and I am rooting for you ❤
Hi Doug, seeing a dietician that specializes in eating disorders has started to change my relationship with food. If you have Medicare, I think they pay for it. Some people don't understand it's a lot more than putting down the fork.
This a thousand times over.
He said he wasn’t able to get it 🫤 I hope the therapist can help him find a nutritionist or get Medicare.
Exactly. It’s just like a drug addiction. It wasn’t easy for me to just stop taking pills. This is the same thing. He can’t “just stop” he needs to get to the root cause psychologically and mentally and fix it, and he has to want to change. He feels so much guilt and shame he’s blaming himself like every addict does.
Take care of yourself. God bless.
I believe in you Doug! I am 5’8 270lbs broke 43 years old and delivery 🚚 pizza 🍕 at Papa John’s! I have not had sex in 3 years! Men are hurting out there! Thanks Dr Delaney!
I’ve had Ed for 3 years… haven’t even been able to do anything… thank you for the kind words!
Well you are getting up everyday and working and from the tone of your words to Doug you are able to encourage others. Plus you have a kind smile. If you are showing this smiles to the customers you deliver to you are making the world better. There might just be one person you see in on your daily route that really needs a friendly smile and a presence of encouragement (we never really know how we influence others while we are here on earth).
Oh man this was heartbreaking. Doug sounds like an awesome guy , i hope he can turn things around, and realize he deserves so much more from life
Doug, if you read this, you're a pure soul. I have struggled with my weight and I am pissed I let myself gain it again. I understand. You can turn this around. This call is the first step.
Right? I've actually lost weight due to Covid but I ended up getting $600 in food stamps and bought too much food and over are it. Now that I barely have any money I'm really really glad so I don't over eat. It's actually healthy to fast. But yes I've literally been snacking on foods and I'm not trying to say this just to mirror the poor guy I was just talking to my ex about it how I am over eating a lot lately. Luckily if I do over eat a lot and it's acidic it tends to build up and I get horrible gerd. Now I feel stupid because I had those crappy frozen pizzas that are so unhealthy. I think in my head I want to feel sick so that someone can take care of me because I'm lonely so maybe subconciously that's what Doug is doing also. Plus I'm an introvert so I like to stay in doors but when I get a job I hate it everyone always tends to be the same with the gossip, harassment, anal passive aggressive manager, I tend to just run which is a trauma response soooooo I think Doug should try and figure out why he keeps gaining all of this weight but it sounds like loneliness to me. Plus he feels worthless. You're not alone Doug I'm not working and am behind in rent and my ex boyfriend is 40 years old and still lives with his parents his whole family lives together. I also fall into a deep depression because everything here in CA is so expenssive so it's environmental for me. I'm really rooting for this guy big time when I heard his voice I started to cry like I said we all struggle with something. Rooting for you also!
You're too important to lose, Doug. Each time someone dies, a small piece of all of our souls dies with them.
I'm SELFISH!! I want my 4yr old daughter to grow up in a world with more people like YOU who have problems BUT WANT TO OVERCOME THEM!
People like you make the world a slightly better place to live in.
Thinking about you from Canada, homie. Canadians will never stop showing up for decent people like you
Beautiful words! I felt encouraged with my win difficulties and just pessimism regarding the state of our word when I read your positive words reaching out to this man. Your words almost brought a little tear to my eye.
@@JB-pd3ir Thank you for saying so. YOUR comment brought a tear to MY eye.
Just remember: Pessimism is the true enemy! If you focus on bad things, you'll only ever see bad things. But if you focus on the good?
It's truly surprising how many tiny, "insignificant", everyday actions you will see of people helping others.
Stay strong, brother. I wasn't kidding when I said that Canada has your back.
@@TheDylls When I saw your reply , I went back to see what my original response was to you. When I read my words I saw I had written so quickly that I had typos but you still managed to understand exactly what I was attempting to convey. Thank you! And now…… thank you for your beautiful words you just sent me……… and yes, your words…
“Just remember: Pessimism is the true enemy! If you focus on bad things, you'll only ever see bad things. But if you focus on the good?
It's truly surprising how many tiny, "insignificant", everyday actions you will see of people helping others.”
are pure wisdom! Thank you ……I think I may print out your words and keep them as a reminder (especially regarding the “insignificant, everyday actions” )
@@JB-pd3ir Even though I'm the "man with the words for everything", you've got me truly speechless. The fact that what I said resonated with you truly touches me.
To be honest with you, I've only really copied my ideas from a bunch of different sources, but I swear that everything I said was truly in my own words as I understood the source material.
All that to say, I'm glad that you've found some comfort in the things that have comforted me.
If I could make some recommendations of GENERAL topics to check out that I love?
(Also keep in mind, no belief system is "perfect", I just like to take the "good points" from them)
I was raised Roman Catholic so I always really vibed with most of the stuff that Jesus (allegedly) stood for in the King James New Testament. A bunch of good stuff like Suffer little children, Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, etc
I also enjoy Stoicism, particularly the works of Marcus Aurelius. When he tucked his kids into bed each night, he told himself that neither his children nor himself are guaranteed to survive the night so this may be the last moment he ever gets to spend with his children. And you better BET that he savoured every moment of it.
Finally, I enjoy the Buddhists. Specifically "Life is suffering". What it means is something like "Doesn't matter how good you have it, there's always gonna be something that you struggle with. Having to face a struggle doesn't determine who you are as a person. HOW you face that struggle is what defines who you are."
"Im at low point to where there's so much going on that needs fixing, that I don't even know where to start."
I think we have all felt that way about something before❤
Dr. John, I was 605 at my heaviest and have been working on dropping weight for the past 19 months! This is the most amazing call you’ve ever had. I love you, you’re heart is so beautiful. Thank you.❤
That's great, good for you ❤
Maybe and the other gentleman in comments who lost 300 pounds can contact him through Dr John and help him out
I hope they follow up with Doug over the coming months, as his weight goes down to 4xx, then 3xx, etc. I really want to see him turn it around and get on a much better path.
his channel is the third comment
Most of us with food addiction and extreme weight issues are usually suffering from tremendous pain and trauma.I can feel his pain. Sometimes you just feel like you have no more fight left.
Listening to this call I'm so thankful that Dave realized he needed someone like John. Dave's "if you don't want to be fat don't hang out with fat people" isn't helpful. This man needed compassion and understanding which John has an excess amount of.
If you are reading this Doug you are amazing and I wish you the best on this journey!
This was the first time I’ve teared up listening to this. Doug my brother. Please, please reach out to me for weight help. I’ve worked with people over 500+ pounds. I really want to help where I can if you’d let me.
I hope that we get a follow-up story on Doug. I love Dr. John's tangible help and incentives that he threw in. I think that the fact that this caller could reach out for help and talk about something that would be so embarrassing for most people to discuss is a sign that he's ready for change. Good luck, Doug!
"I don’t poison myself anymore" resonated so much with me. Thank you, John
I’m so dang thankful for all the love and support I’ve gotten on here , I’m thinking about starting a CZcams channel documenting everything but nervous about it and my editing skills are.. sub par. To say the least lol
Best of luck to you on your journey, brother. You deserve it. You can do it!
Doug do it!!!!!!
Doug you have already made the first step by reaching out. I wish i lived near you to give you emotional support. I will pray for you on this journey. YOU CAN DO THIS!!❤
Thank you for being an incredible human to your callers. Doug, we are rooting for you!!!
Sounds like a really kind hearted man, hopefully he is successful!
This call had be in tears. You are so worthy Doug. A gem of a human.
Thank you for the kind words!
Doug we are all here for you! You are also inspiring me to make changes. G-d be with you Doug. You are Amazing and have a wonderful Heart. ❤️
@@douggiedoesfatlossDoug my man you made me cry. You've got a heart of gold. Wishing you all the best. You are worthy. You are deserving.
Hi doug !! You got this, we all have our struggles. Dr john threw you a line, take it and run😊 im 39 and you're still young you can still get your goals and dreams, your journey is inspiring to others keep us posted!! We love you doug❤
He can do it to it may take a lot of work but I remember listening to one of John D video and I told myself I would get my Food Handler's Card...I ended up downloading the program and my friend bought it for me so I told myself if I don't get through it I'm not only going to disappoint him buy myself. After I went through the program I decided this is what I want for me. It takes time to do some things but I spent 9 hrs doing it so he can do it also I believe in him.
@@mariahconklin4150what's a Food Handler's card?
Doug, I am ROOTING for you! Listening to you speak about helping others around and hearing how compassionate you were really lifted my spirits. I am praying for your determination because YOU’VE GOT THIS!! ❤
Very kind and sincere words.
I’m praying for you Doug! You’re life is worth fighting for and with the Lord’s strength you can achieve the impossible. You’re alot more capable than you realize because you’ve made it this far. Rooting for you and your journey! 🫶
Amen, Well said!
This guy has me crying at work-What a solid heart on this man. My heart aches for him. I get the weight struggle and feeling your lack of worth.
I hope he finds healing.
poor guy. my heart breaks for him
. i really hope he turns things around.
John Deloney restores my faith in humanity. Sometimes I just listen to this for evidence there are good people out there.
Father, through Christ please touch, heal, and help Doug, through your Holy Spirit. Amen. God loves you Doug. Don't give up on yourself! Through The Shepherd's Chapel, Pastor Arnold Murray, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, get in Father's Word, only God, through Christ can heal the broken-hearted.
Doug, we vote for you. You can do it and we are all here waiting to see and hear your progress.
I’m so impressed that Dr. John asked Doug when it was the last time that he had human touch. Yeah such a beautiful heart, Doug.
Sometimes it just starts with small steps, Doug.
I think that the six months of therapy that Dr. John suggested will definitely help.
They are also really simple things that you can do, which is that you don’t drink your calories.
Basically, you’d have water, and then unsweetened tea and unsweetened coffee.
Put in a splash of milk if you like, but absolutely no creamers.
Stay away from soda and avoid deep fried foods. A lot of restaurants have grilled meat options or even baked options so I’m hoping that shouldn’t be too hard.
Get most of your carbs from beans and frozen vegetables. Dry or canned beans are pretty. Inexpensive and so are frozen vegetables which can be much cheaper than the ones sold in the fresh section.
That doesn’t mean that you can never have your favorite foods, but do you want to avoid the things that are not so good for you as much as possible.
I hope you have a swimming pool facility near you, Doug.
It can be a great exercise choice, and it will put a lot less strain on you than other types of exercise. Also, walking is a good choice as well.
You can do this, Doug. Sometimes it just starts with small changes to your life.
I also recommend prayer in your life. You probably do it already and now we even have apps for that so that you can journal and keep yourself accountable. How long is my favorite one but there are lots of them out there.
Also find one or two good friends in your area to walk alongside you. I don’t live in your area, but I want to be your friend.
You can do this, dad.
Probiotics
The bad bacteria in the gut cause craving. You have to outnumber them
Reaching out for help is a great start. Perhaps he can apply for disability. Perhaps he can see someone like a doctor for weight loss and a therapist to start feeling better about himself. I wish him the best.
for sure, fought for a year trying to get it, I was denied like a week ago.. contacted a lawyer, and they sent me a letter yesterday saying they weren't able to help me with my claim... its disheartening
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 Don't give up. Try again
Getting disability usually takes more than one try.
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 same with my disabled husband. Denied twice
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 I think you have to keep applying it could take forever I applied also but I'm not worried I won't get it either. Maybe it depends where you live to. I've been struggling also I could only get one day of work in. I talked to a social worker at my apartment complex and she first said I can only work part time then she said I couldn't work at all. I'm frusterated because I still feel like I can work my thing is I'm just emotional and angry so I've been trying to deal with that. So it's stress related! But the social worker apparently thinks it's just so easy to get disability when sometimes it is not lol! We are proof you know? And some people get SSI for life and do drugs all day and night and for some reason I've been focusing on healthy goals and don't want to do even weed or alcohol...not sure what has changed really but I'm taking time on things (positive) that truly matter. That's what Doug should focus on and looks like he has a ton to do now like read, call his therapist, look up that actor, exercise so he is set. My new addiction is over eating and I absolutly hate it so sometimes it's getting out of the house because he's poor so what is he going to do go out and eat at a resturant? He is unable to. But for me getting out of the house, reading, The Finch App, doing uber eats with my friend, watching inspiring videos, cleaning my house, exercising, relaxing when I do work, dancing, listening to inspiring music, learning a new skill, going on job interviews, etc help a lot.
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972you don't need the government. That would just enable you to stay the same. Win this. I would love to see an update show where you get your $1000 from deloni. Then another update when you get your bed.
Doug, I’m hearing this for the first time. I hope 6 months later something has changed for the better. Love from Winston Salem Buddy
Small world! What part of Winston?!? Things are getting better slowly
@@douggiedoesfatlossDoug! I am hearing this for the first time. You can do this! We are the same age. I have lost 130 pounds-still have a way to go. But realizing I’m worth the healthiest I can be was the first step. Even if it was just 15 minutes of walking my driveway. Much love from Tennessee.
@@truckerwifeonabudget6295 good job!!! Freakin proud of you!!!
Doug I don’t know if you’re reading this but you can absolutely do this. You have a heart of gold and the world needs you if not for yourself do it to serve the people who need you. I can’t imagine how isolating your experience has been but you can make your story something that can change the lives of so many not only yourself. God put you here for a reason and sometimes it takes an extreme circumstance to make an incredible impact on the world. From the way you speak from your heart I can tell you have it in you. God bless you on your journey. You called into the show for a reason, never forget that. You want your life to change now just let actions follow and truly only you can hold yourself accountable to live the change each and every day. Each and every day you will need to check in with yourself to be steadfast on your goal of the smallest wins and keep compounding those small wins with gradually bigger wins. Your life is not over Doug. Do not resign yourself to this condition you are currently in. Your body wants to survive and thrive.
I hope there is an update on this caller. Wishing him all the best on his journey.
He has his own channel called doggie does fat loss
I just wanna give this guy a hug 😢 I hope he can find the strength to lose the weight and keep it off and gain his independence back. He deserves a good life with human interaction and healthy relationships with people and food.
He so does. He just has to take it one day at a time. I pray for him
Doug, you got this!
What a powerful episode. Doug's story broke my heart but also inspired me. Thank you Dr D. for being so compassionate with him. He needed to hear your words of strength and encouragement. I fully believe that Doug can take those small steps to change his life. You can do it Doug. We believe in you and are rooting for you. 💛
Coming from someone that lost 100 pounds I can only imagine how hard that journey will be but it can be done! Now I am 43 and in the best shape of my life. YOU CHOOSE YOUR PAIN!!
Doug, if you read this you are a wonderful person and we are all rooting for you. My heart hurt for you when you said you had not experienced touch since 2020. It may sound a little silly and you may not be able to just yet, but check if there are any affordable massage therapist or massage training schools in your area. Touch by another human is a powerful thing and that can be a tool for self care and human connection. Wish you the best!
"The beauty of going to war with yourself is you don't have to fight." John and his way of saying things ❤️
Food addiction will destroy you! Eating is a cover for the pain inside. Seek God and his love will build you up!!! You are treasured!!!!
Goooo Doug! We are rooting for you friend!! Take control of your health! I’m 42 yrs old also, you can do it!!! 💪🏻 Thank you Dr. Delony!
Oh man John , you blow me away ! Your level of love and compassion empowers me!
You took your first step today, Doug, when you made this call. That's called initiative. You have it! Keep moving forward one step at a time. It's your journey and it can be whatever you want it to be. I wish you all the best. You can do this.
I've been watching my 600 lb life lately. I see Doug during this call. It's heartbreaking because food is an addiction. He's reaching out and not a lot of people do. It doesn't matter what size you are, but if you don't ask for help from a professional, how willing are you to change?
This person doesn't need to read self help books. He needs a therapist and a medical team to help him get well.
Sometimes you have to start from where you are. If he's struggling financially he's not going to be able to get professional help yet. Taking any steps at all and building on that is better than giving up from not being able to access professional help yet.
Never met you before Doug, but I can tell you’re an incredible person. Praying and rooting for you.
Dr John Deloney, If and when Doug emails you, please share the update and the scale hits the 400s I will give something as well. Hope to see this in the near future!
It's totally up to you Doug and you can do this You have one life make it happen God bless you friend
I struggle with binge eating disorder & had a really bad episode last night; thank God I saw this video today. 600+ lbs or fit & athletic, food issues don't discriminate & it really does take a heart of gold to speak out so candidly about something so difficult to overcome. Strength & courage that hopefully he can learn to see in himself. We're rooting for you Doug ❤
Doug I hope you're reading these comments. We are ALL rooting for you. You matter! The world needs you. Praying for you!
The outpouring of support has been amazing… I feel the love for sure !
Doug you've got this. You seem like such a wonderful person and I can't wait to see you inspire others with your journey to wholeness.
Doug, if you are reading the comments, you've got this!! One step at a time, you can have everything that you've described. Because you are a brave and strong man and you have so many people supporting you!
Doug has such a beautiful heart! If you see this Doug, reach out to me. I'm a holistic nutritionist and would love to offer you a free session.
I don’t have a lot of money, but I’m willing to throw $100 on top of that check for you, Doug. Can we get more people to help motivate him? Idk how that would work Dr. John, but let’s all get behind this man!
I’m so proud of you, Doug. I love you!! ❤
Money can't be the motivator. Doug has to do this for DOUG.
@@joann5157 getting money is part of doing it for himself. He has two issues: he’s obese, but he also has no money and no place of his own in his early 40s. Money will solve that second problem, and put him on his way to thriving.
I will put a hundred
@joann5157 sure it can. He will need new clothes. He probably hasn't bought any in a long time
Very proud of him for asking for help, takes courage, glad he is actively showing he wants to improve his life
If this man lived in my neighborhood and I knew about him somehow, I would show up with my dogs and we'd walk. We'd set goals in ft, then yards. We'd get it done. Thank you Dr Delony for helping this man.
I was thinking just that. How lovely would it be for a couple of kind hearted folk just to walk with him.
Douggie has a CZcams channel called Douggie does fat loss
You got this, keep us updated 🎉
Doug your beautiful heart shines through in this call. Praying for your success, you can do this 🙏🏼
Dr. John Delony is so sympathetic and good at handling calls like this. You can tell this man deeply cares for his callers in turmoil.
Daumn... this poor guy. It takes courage to call in and put it all on the table like this. It's time for a massive life change. 630lbs is just too much. Eat less, get moving and mentally prepare for the pain this will bring... It won't be easy but it is doable. It takes a monumental mental effort though.
I’m rooting for you Doug !!
Thank you for your generosity to Doug, John.
You have a big heart John! I wish Doug nothing but the best on his journey!
Doug! You are amazing. You are worth it. I am rooting for you!
Thank you for helping him ❤❤❤❤
Good luck to you Doug! I can tell in your voice that you’re sincere about getting better.
Good work Doug. Brave call. Look forward to hearing of your progress.
You got this Doug! My wife and I are weeping in excitement for your hard, but rewarding journey.
Doug! You are going to crush those goals! You are worth being well!
Come on, Doug! We know you can do it! We are all rooting for you!! We are praying for you!! Please give us updates!
Thank you Dr. Delony for what you do. Hooked to your show. Love from Africa
This man needs OA - overeater's anonymous. This is truly an addiction and he needs a 12 step program and support, to help him walk him through this.
I felt the same way for years until I one day just did what I had to do. I wasn’t 630 lbs but I was still pushing 400 lbs but I felt terrible everyday. I ended up getting bariatric surgery done and I’m now down to 180 lbs and feel better than ever. I can now physically work more myself and I’m in a better place financially too. I hope this guy can get Medicaid and start getting the help he needs with his health before it gets worse. There’s help out there in many different ways when it comes to this stuff but it starts with you to accept and follow through with the help.
Doug - I’m eagerly awaiting to hear your check ins ! We all want you to succeed !
Doug, we are rooting for you! Be your own hero.
Hardest one I've heard. Hang in there man. U can do it.
Doug,the world needs ppl like you. Keep believing and working hard 💪
Love you Doug! You can do it. One day at a time. Don’t think about the end, think about the next best step. Wish you the best!
Doug if you read this, you have a friend here.... You can get through this. Just knowing you have someone who cares, besides Mom, is beneficial to your mental health. When Dr John mentioned the need of a person's touch, really hit home with me. It's very important, a hug and a good listener from a friend can carry us through the hardest of times. Wishing you all the best. I'm serious about becoming a support friend even from a distance. Kurt
