About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. We dream that someday we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

Morgan, remember you owe us nothing. You began this channel to document and share your adventures in farming. Your health and well-being come first. If sharing helps, we're here for you. But please don't do anything that is not in YOUR best interest.

I just happened to come across this video and I’m glad I did. I am 60 years old and a survivor of childhood abuse and lifelong disordered eating. I have been addicted to drugs and alcohol and have been in recovery for decades but food addiction has persisted. I have uncontrolled diabetes and severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I am slowly killing myself with food. This video has inspired me to get back into therapy. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile and this was just the boost I needed to take action. Thank you.

Came for the ducks, stayed for the heartwarming story. Good on you for getting help!

“Don’t talk about other peoples’ bodies, just leave them be”

Quote of the year - thank you for sharing your story, Morgan. Proud of you for addressing and working on the mental side. It’s not an easy feat to do that!

I grew up being overweight and developed anorexia when my dad passed in 2020. Im 23 now and constantly get compliments on my weight loss but nobody knows what I go through daily. Thank you for making this video

[TrustHimFirst]

My feelings exactly… “don’t talk about other peoples bodies”! I hate it when people say…”oh …you look like you’ve lost weight”… like I won the lotto or something… they may as well say… “you looked like crap before”…
Good for you for dealing head on with your stress…that’s hard work. 👏🏼

How amazing is Morgan? Vulnerable, inspiring, and honest. Such an upstanding guy. Keep putting one foot in front of the other Morgan. You got this.

[larigarren]

This is probably your most profound and significant video you’ve ever made. Your words are powerful. I’m thankful for you saying them. They will reach the ears of someone who needs to hear your story.

[Tattersayl]

As someone who is overweight and dealing with atypical anorexia nervosa.... your willingness to be so vulnerable and raw about your eating disorder is so appreciated. Shame loses power in the light. Sending all the positive energy to you!

As a fellow human who has struggled with a life-long eating disorder, thank you Morgan for sharing this and for this comment specifically: “When you comment on somebody else’s body, they’re not necessarily going to receive that complement in the same context that you’re giving it.”

[AaronBrooks]

Thank you so much for sharing this. There's a lack of men talking about eating disorders and the silence hurts everyone. I'm sure this has been a very difficult journey but sharing this is such a big way to be kind and care for other people as well as yourself.

I am a 65 year old woman. I struggle with food addiction. I just want to say good for you. I am happy for anyone that makes progress in this journey.

[shinjineesen]

As a fellow ED survivor, I wouldn' t have commented on your weight. I did notice your weight loss over the past few months. But I am happy that you made this video, and even happier to learn that your weight loss isn't because of chronic illness or worse.

[mrfordman]

As someone who went from 407 lbs when I graduated high school to 195 lbs now, I understand how you feel and want to say thank you for talking about this and bringing it into a wond3rful light. Good work, my friend.

[katejohnson]

Thank you for being vulnerable with us Morgan. It's uncomfortable to talk about but you're such a big inspiration for your fans. Thank you for being brave and we are rooting for you <3

[BBDoesTheThing]

I'm just glad it's not cancer. Respect Morgan. I hope you find peace with it.

[ErinEllenCreates]

I don't care what weight you are. I want to compliment you on addressing the issue and putting in the work. May you continue positively on your journey ❤

[juliasummers]

This is a brave one, Morgan. At 88 I'm still dealing with growing up.

[grim_dave]

Thanks Morgan, I lost 35kg in the last 2 years after my Doctor told me I was pre diabetic. I am no longer pre diabetic and go to the gym 5 days a week, but I've recently decided I need to speak to my therapist about binge eating. Thank you for reminding me that we're not alone.

[Trapper]

Well said. I'm a 57 year old male, and I have a 45-minute session with my therapist every week. I was embarrassed at first, and now I feel empowered. Great content, and keep up the good work. 😊
