10:20 “It was my job to probably teach him healthy eating” - “here’s some cupcakes” 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[meganforman]

This is honestly really scary for me. I have Binge Eating Disorder and I recently relapsed. Watching this is like a wake up call. I just hope I can overcome this

[Cricket]

10:10 you don't need a guide book to know that feeding your son meals that are for 50 people, in one sitting, eat it all and ask him immediately after if he wants more is bad

[YouTubeUzername]

Why is the mom even there? He is clearly mobile and capable of shopping for and preparing his own meals.

[JazlinSuazo]

I WATCH THIS LATE NIGHTS WHEN IM CRAVING SHH TO EAT . It goes away in heart beat . I start working out allat ! Start feeling thankful praying n shh ! Thank god

[j.janjua]

I feel sad for these people but i also watch these videos to remind myself no matter what i have to keep myself fit and healthy

[michelledesgroseilliers]

If his mom knows he's a food addict, why is she giving him sooo much food? OMG! How can these people afford all of that food?

[patryku]

There's a big difference between a caring mother and a responsible mother.

[thatgirl]

“Right now William is so dishonest with himself with his eating habits”

Girl YOU are dishonest with yourself 😭

[isaacmagovero]

Dude seriously took the whole pan off the stove and went back to the couch

[jarodarmstrong]

Don't be scared to tell people no, especially your kids. Very often what they want at the moment is not what's best for them and it's YOUR JOB as the parent to maintain those guardrails.

[thelongvirtuesignal]

"It's just devastating knowing you can't do anything to help your son" (makes him 25 eggs every morning)

[deepspace]

I hate it when their enablers say they care about them and want to help them, yet all they do is continue bringing them more food. If you really loved someone, you wouldn't enable their bad habits. Period.

[antc]

His own mother is literally killing him. Hopefully, she is ashamed of herself because that’s ridiculous. He could literally die at any moment from heart failure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, many other things cause of his weight.

[MiklosTamas]

Bro is breathing like he has ran a marathon

[mandyjane]

Why do they always say theres no guide book for parents. There are thousands of guide books, and you dont need a book to tell you your child is grossly overweight

[Rettungssocke]

I really feel the stuff William is saying. I experienced the same and somehow managed to lose weight and change my life but at the same time i agree with his mom. No one helps you, its you who have to change. Its just sad but its true. The World is cruel... 😥

[melaniedrew]

Okay, completely unrelated to his struggle but his baby picture??!! He is probably one of the cutest babies I have ever seen!

[BigWop_]

Realized really quickt security was not what i wanted to do….didn’t wanna stand and walk around all day

[shereewordell]

What he eats in one sitting I couldn’t eat in a whole day!
