I am tired.

My whole body hurtin'.
[grunts]
4
00:00:08,767 --> 00:00:10,166
I'm tired of being fat.

00:00:10,166 --> 00:00:12,000
[solemn music playing]
6
00:00:16,767 --> 00:00:20,100
[woman crying]
Somewhere in me is this
little glimmer of hope.
7
00:00:20,166 --> 00:00:22,166
I just wanna be
a normal person.
8
00:00:22,967 --> 00:00:24,000
[sighs wearily]

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,967
[breathing heavily]
10
00:00:33,667 --> 00:00:36,800
You can't do it,
and then I just... Man!
11
00:00:36,867 --> 00:00:38,467
[woman 2] If I don't
make a change now,
12
00:00:38,467 --> 00:00:40,300
I am scared
it's gonna be too late.
13
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:47,300
[woman moaning in pain] No...
It hurts!
14
00:00:47,367 --> 00:00:49,767
[woman 3] I refuse
to stop fighting.
15
00:00:49,767 --> 00:00:51,600
I have to do this
for my children.
16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,533
[shouts in pain]
17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,000
In lying so much to yourself,
you believed the lie.
18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,166
In lying so much to yourself,
you believed the lie.
19
00:01:01,166 --> 00:01:02,700
You're not going to make it.
20
00:01:02,767 --> 00:01:04,467
That's basically
all you have to say.
21
00:01:19,867 --> 00:01:21,667

[grunts]
26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,667
[Latonya] The life that
I'm living right now,
27
00:01:55,667 --> 00:01:56,867
is uncomfortable.
28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,500
[straining]
29
00:02:04,266 --> 00:02:06,467
[sighs wearily] Oh, wow!
30
00:02:06,467 --> 00:02:09,467
I barely can get out the bed
because of my weight.
31
00:02:11,367 --> 00:02:13,467
And the lymphedema
that grow from my legs,
32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,500
they hurts... night and day,
33
00:02:16,567 --> 00:02:19,700
like, the pain, is unbearable.
34
00:02:19,767 --> 00:02:23,100
It's a fatty tissue that
makes your legs swell.
35
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,100
Being in this body,
being uncomfortable 24/7,
36
00:02:28,166 --> 00:02:30,000
it's a different
kind of experience.
37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,800
it's a different
kind of experience.
38
00:02:32,066 --> 00:02:36,100
You know, I feel scared,
because my mobile state
39
00:02:36,166 --> 00:02:38,100
is not getting any better.
40
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,867
And I know that
things are getting harder
41
00:02:40,867 --> 00:02:41,967
and worser for me.
42
00:02:43,266 --> 00:02:44,700
Like, I still can walk.
43
00:02:45,367 --> 00:02:46,800
But, just not so far.
44
00:02:48,767 --> 00:02:52,467
I promised myself that
I wouldn't be in a wheelchair.
45
00:02:52,467 --> 00:02:55,567
-But I can't even stand up
in the shower.
- [water splashing]
46
00:02:55,567 --> 00:02:57,467
I have to sit
on the side of the tub.
47
00:02:58,266 --> 00:02:59,100
It hurts.

00:03:33,266 --> 00:03:34,967
I live with my fiance.

00:03:34,967 --> 00:03:37,467
He wakes up before me, so...
61
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:40,967
My caretaker usually take care
of my shower, washing my back,
62
00:03:40,967 --> 00:03:44,166
or, you know, getting areas
that I can't reach.

[straining] Okay.
69
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:11,500
To take a shower,
takes so much energy.

[straining] Oh, God.
71
00:04:13,266 --> 00:04:15,667
Once I'm done, I'm tired.
72
00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:18,200
And, you know I'm hungry,
I'm thinking about food.

[Latonya speaking]
74
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:28,867
[Virgie] Oh, okay.
75
00:04:31,266 --> 00:04:34,066
I spend five hours
with Latonya a day.
76
00:04:34,967 --> 00:04:37,567
When I started working
with Latonya,
77
00:04:37,567 --> 00:04:39,467
she was more independent.
78
00:04:41,867 --> 00:04:45,700
But, right now, with
the amount of weight on her,
79
00:04:46,767 --> 00:04:50,400
Latonya rely on me a lot
to make meals,
80
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:53,367
because she tires easy.
81
00:04:53,367 --> 00:04:56,867
And that her legs are hurtin'
and they are swollen.
82
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:58,800
So, she gets in the bed
83
00:04:58,867 --> 00:05:00,000
and I make her
something to eat
84
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,400
and I make her
something to eat
85
00:05:00,467 --> 00:05:02,800
and I take it back to the bed.
86
00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:05,467
Oh, but this is
all somethin' fairly new.
87
00:05:05,467 --> 00:05:07,100
She wasn't really
doin' that before.
88
00:05:07,166 --> 00:05:10,300
[groaning] Okay.

00:05:42,166 --> 00:05:43,767
Can I get
some lotion on my feet.
94
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,600
The cocoa butter lotion?
95
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:48,266
Mmm-mmm! This.
96
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,867
I barely can even,
like, you know,
97
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,800
take care of my fiance
as a woman,
98
00:05:55,867 --> 00:05:58,200
because of me
being overweight,
99
00:05:58,266 --> 00:06:00,000
and I don't wanna be...
unfair to him.
100
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,800
and I don't wanna be...
unfair to him.
101
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,100
He's completely devoted
to me because
102
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,200
I helped him
get out of prison.
103
00:06:07,266 --> 00:06:09,700
But still, I don't
want him to feel like
104
00:06:09,767 --> 00:06:12,567
he have to take care of me,
you know.
105
00:06:13,767 --> 00:06:16,300
Anything she asks me to do,
I help her with it.

00:06:28,367 --> 00:06:29,967
-Yeah, I'm good.
-[Daune] All right.
108
00:06:29,967 --> 00:06:30,000
-[Latonya] Thank you, babe.
Love you.
-Love you, too.
109
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,867
-[Latonya] Thank you, babe.
Love you.
-Love you, too.
110
00:06:37,367 --> 00:06:39,867
[Latonya] Food is like
my best friend.
111
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:41,000
Thank you.
112
00:06:43,166 --> 00:06:45,367
Can I have some juice, Ms. V?
113
00:06:45,367 --> 00:06:48,066
When I eat,
it take the stress away.
114
00:06:48,066 --> 00:06:51,000
This is what I do
to help me cope with things.
115
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,867
-I need a roller cart.
-[Latonya] Right.
116
00:06:53,867 --> 00:06:55,166
[Virgie] We gonna
have to get one.
117
00:06:56,367 --> 00:06:58,467
[Latonya] I know that the food
is unhealthy
118
00:06:58,467 --> 00:07:00,000
and is not good for me,
119
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,066
and is not good for me,
120
00:07:00,066 --> 00:07:03,266
but with the habit
that I had so long,
121
00:07:03,266 --> 00:07:05,266
it's hard to change it.
122
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:08,367
So, I'm disappointed
in myself,
123
00:07:08,367 --> 00:07:10,467
for letting myself
get to this place.
124
00:07:10,467 --> 00:07:13,467
But, you know,
you can't change the past.
125
00:07:15,567 --> 00:07:17,500
[melancholy music playing]
126
00:07:17,567 --> 00:07:20,266
You know the situation
with me as a child.
127
00:07:20,266 --> 00:07:22,667
I have three siblings,
128
00:07:22,667 --> 00:07:26,266
my sister, my older brother,
I have a deceased brother,
129
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:28,166
I was the baby.
130
00:07:28,166 --> 00:07:30,000
And, up until
the time that I was 12,
131
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,567
And, up until
the time that I was 12,
132
00:07:30,567 --> 00:07:32,900
everything was
really peaceful.
133
00:07:32,967 --> 00:07:36,600
My dad was always there,
he was the provider,
134
00:07:36,667 --> 00:07:38,900
to bring in the finances,
with my mom.
135
00:07:57,166 --> 00:08:00,000
And, during my early
elementary school years,
136
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,166
And, during my early
elementary school years,
137
00:08:00,166 --> 00:08:02,367
I was always a little chubby.
138
00:08:03,467 --> 00:08:05,100
Food was just something we did
139
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:07,667
as a family
and as a community,
140
00:08:07,667 --> 00:08:09,867
and I loved eating
for that reason.
141
00:08:09,867 --> 00:08:13,100
Because food
always meant love.
142
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:17,100
But then when I was 12,
everything changed,
143
00:08:17,166 --> 00:08:19,800
because that's when
my mom died very suddenly.
144
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:23,000
My mother had asthma real bad,
145
00:08:23,066 --> 00:08:26,767
so, one night,
she was having an attack.
146
00:08:26,767 --> 00:08:30,000
So, my older brother, Terry,
took Mom to the hospital,
147
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,900
So, my older brother, Terry,
took Mom to the hospital,
148
00:08:30,967 --> 00:08:33,567
and before she left, she said,
149
00:08:33,567 --> 00:08:36,600
"If I don't make it back
tell everybody I love 'em."
150
00:08:36,667 --> 00:08:38,467
But, you know,
I'm not thinking
151
00:08:38,467 --> 00:08:42,200
that it's a possibility that
my mom not gonna come back.
152
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:45,467
So, when we
got to the hospital,
153
00:08:45,467 --> 00:08:47,767
when we went in the room,
me and my sister,
154
00:08:47,767 --> 00:08:50,100
they let us go in and I was
tryin' to wake my mom up,
155
00:08:50,166 --> 00:08:52,000
but she wouldn't wake up.
156
00:08:52,066 --> 00:08:53,600
[Latonya speaking emotionally]
157
00:09:01,767 --> 00:09:03,967
[voice breaking]
So, I just...
158
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,867
When my mom passed away
159
00:09:26,867 --> 00:09:30,000
I started to turn food
into a comfort.
160
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,200
I started to turn food
into a comfort.
161
00:09:30,266 --> 00:09:32,667
Food took
my painful thoughts away,
162
00:09:32,667 --> 00:09:35,600
and it made me happy
for that moment.
163
00:09:36,467 --> 00:09:38,100
When my mom passed away,
164
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,400
my father moved away
three months later,
165
00:09:40,467 --> 00:09:42,266
with a lady that
I didn't get along with.
166
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,367
I moved in
with my older sister,
167
00:09:46,367 --> 00:09:48,166
which is my only sister.
168
00:09:48,166 --> 00:09:50,266
I stayed with her
for a few years.
169
00:09:51,166 --> 00:09:53,667
She always was
a good little girl.
170
00:09:53,667 --> 00:09:57,900
Once my mom passed,
she had to come live with me.
171
00:09:57,967 --> 00:10:00,000
And I guess I think she felt
like she was kinda alone.
172
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,166
And I guess I think she felt
like she was kinda alone.
173
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:04,500
But, she had
my kids to play with,
174
00:10:04,567 --> 00:10:06,867
but it's just not like
having your mother.
175
00:10:08,166 --> 00:10:11,667
[Latonya] When I turned 15,
I got my own place.
176
00:10:11,667 --> 00:10:14,100
And, I was only able
to do that because
177
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:16,900
my dad came through
and signed for the lease
178
00:10:16,967 --> 00:10:18,767
in his own name.
179
00:10:18,767 --> 00:10:21,166
And I just been
on my own ever since.
180
00:10:21,166 --> 00:10:24,000
So, my daddy being
the type of man that he is,
181
00:10:24,066 --> 00:10:25,867
financial-wise,
he did what he could,
182
00:10:25,867 --> 00:10:28,100
but, as a child...
183
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:29,700
[voice breaking]
184
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800
So, then I lived
on my own for a while,
185
00:10:35,867 --> 00:10:38,600
and during that time
I gained a lot of weight.
186
00:10:40,066 --> 00:10:42,767
By the time I was 15,
I was up to 200.
187
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,867
And by the time I was 17,
I was up to 300 lbs,
188
00:10:49,867 --> 00:10:52,367
'cause I really had no one
taking care of me,
189
00:10:52,367 --> 00:10:55,000
and I could do
whatever I wanted.
190
00:10:55,066 --> 00:10:57,266
It was the food
that made me feel better.
191
00:10:58,567 --> 00:11:00,000
I was gonna
drop out of school.
192
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,967
I was gonna
drop out of school.
193
00:11:00,967 --> 00:11:03,200
But my godmother
got a hold of me,
194
00:11:03,266 --> 00:11:04,667
and made me finish.
195
00:11:06,767 --> 00:11:09,767
Latonya gone
through a depression.
196
00:11:09,767 --> 00:11:13,767
She started eating more
and staying to herself a lot.
197
00:11:13,767 --> 00:11:15,767
And that bothered me.
198
00:11:15,767 --> 00:11:19,767
I can't really explain it
but she changed a lot.
199
00:11:19,767 --> 00:11:23,266
As I got grown, I just
got comfortable with life,
200
00:11:23,266 --> 00:11:25,700
and, you know,
I just gained a lot of weight
201
00:11:25,767 --> 00:11:27,100
over the years, you know.
202
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,000
[Valerie] I saw her
and I told Latonya,
203
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,100
[Valerie] I saw her
and I told Latonya,
204
00:11:31,166 --> 00:11:34,467
I said, "You gonna have to
get control of your weight."
205
00:11:34,467 --> 00:11:37,300
She felt like
she had control of it.
206
00:11:37,367 --> 00:11:38,767
'Cause she said
she was walkin',
207
00:11:38,767 --> 00:11:41,266
she was in the gym exercisin'.
208
00:11:41,266 --> 00:11:45,867
But at some point, I guess,
she stopped dietin',
209
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:47,767
and kept eatin'.
210
00:11:47,767 --> 00:11:51,266
[Latonya] Like five years ago,
I fell and broke my knee,
211
00:11:51,266 --> 00:11:53,100
so, I went to the hospital
212
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:55,600
and that's when I got
the motorized wheelchair.
213
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,567
And once I sat down
on one of those,
214
00:11:59,567 --> 00:12:00,000
it's like I never
got back up again,
215
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,700
it's like I never
got back up again,
216
00:12:02,767 --> 00:12:05,467
and my health
has gone down ever since.
217
00:12:06,467 --> 00:12:07,667
[hopeful music playing]
218
00:12:07,667 --> 00:12:10,166
Praise God,
that during the lockdown,
219
00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:12,166
I was able
to find a ray of light.
220
00:12:12,867 --> 00:12:14,166
'Cause it was during that time
221
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:16,166
when my fiance
got in touch with me.
222
00:12:17,667 --> 00:12:20,166
I was incarcerated and I ran
into one of her cousins.
223
00:12:22,567 --> 00:12:24,667
So, he was like,
I got a cousin for you.
224
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:27,000
He showed me pictures of her
so I was like, "Yeah!"
225
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:33,166
I know she a good person.
226
00:12:33,166 --> 00:12:34,800
She teach me some things,
you know what I'm sayin'?
227
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:40,667
I knew that
he loved me just the way I am.
228
00:12:41,867 --> 00:12:44,166
I just can't
thank God enough, you know.
229
00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:46,000
How God work things out.
230
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:50,667
But now, I need to be able
to live long enough
231
00:12:50,667 --> 00:12:51,900
for us to grow old together.
232
00:12:53,166 --> 00:12:56,667
A few years back,
I went to see Dr. Now,
233
00:12:56,667 --> 00:12:59,100
but I don't think he ever
took me really seriously.
234
00:13:00,567 --> 00:13:03,100
Because I decided
that I wasn't ready yet.
235
00:13:03,166 --> 00:13:05,867
I couldn't commit
to doin' a program.
236
00:13:05,867 --> 00:13:08,066
But now I'm thinking
that I need to go back
237
00:13:08,066 --> 00:13:09,200
and see him again.
238
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,100
-[Virgie] You done?
-Yes, ma'am.
239
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:17,266
-[Latonya] Thank you.
-Oh, my Lord,
you did real good.
240
00:13:17,266 --> 00:13:20,567
And, can I get a wet towel,
wash my hands.
241
00:13:20,567 --> 00:13:21,767
Yes, ma'am.
242
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:30,000
Tonya?
243
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,767
Tonya?
244
00:13:32,867 --> 00:13:34,266
Tonya.
245
00:13:34,266 --> 00:13:36,967
-Yeah.
-Time to get up.
Time to get up.
246
00:13:36,967 --> 00:13:38,600
[Latonya] I don't know
what time it is.
247
00:13:39,767 --> 00:13:40,867
Let's go to the grocery store.
248
00:13:40,867 --> 00:13:42,367
-[Daune speaking]
-[cell phone ringing]
249
00:13:45,467 --> 00:13:46,700
[softly] Ready when you ready.
250
00:13:48,567 --> 00:13:51,066
Adrian got the keys.
He waiting for you outside.
251
00:13:51,066 --> 00:13:52,266
Okay, I'm coming.
252
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:53,266
[Daune] Let's go.
253
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:56,867
I go grocery shopping
maybe once a month,
254
00:13:56,867 --> 00:13:59,266
because it's hard for me
to get back and forth
255
00:13:59,266 --> 00:14:00,000
to the grocery store.
256
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:00,367
to the grocery store.
257
00:14:03,066 --> 00:14:03,967
[sighs wearily]
258
00:14:05,166 --> 00:14:06,900
-You good?
-Yeah.
259
00:14:06,967 --> 00:14:08,667
Would you
tell Adrian I'm coming?
260
00:14:09,367 --> 00:14:10,467
Please.
261
00:14:11,467 --> 00:14:12,500
And you guys can go on
262
00:14:12,567 --> 00:14:14,166
and get the boards
and stuff ready,
263
00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:16,767
so I can be already ready.
264
00:14:16,767 --> 00:14:18,567
All right. All right, baby.
265
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:20,367
-[Latonya] Thanks babe.
-[kisses]
266
00:14:20,367 --> 00:14:21,867
Thank you.
267
00:14:21,867 --> 00:14:25,767
Um, my nephew Adrian,
maybe, like,
three times a week.
268
00:14:25,767 --> 00:14:29,667
you know, ask Daune,
he help me run my errands
269
00:14:29,667 --> 00:14:30,000
and do things for me,
you know.
270
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,367
and do things for me,
you know.
271
00:14:33,667 --> 00:14:36,166
-Oh, my God!
It's cold out here.
-[Daune] I told you it's cold.
272
00:14:36,166 --> 00:14:38,500
It's freezing.
I'm sorry, guys.
273
00:14:38,567 --> 00:14:41,000
-[Daune] Told you it was cold.
-[Latonya] I am so sorry.
274
00:14:41,066 --> 00:14:42,500
-I'm sorry.
-Told you it was cold.
275
00:14:42,567 --> 00:14:43,767
[Latonya speaking]
276
00:14:44,667 --> 00:14:46,066
[speaking indistinctly]
277
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,867
[groans] Oh!
278
00:14:50,767 --> 00:14:51,967
[grunts]
279
00:14:52,967 --> 00:14:55,000
I climbed in my van.
280
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,767
That take a lot of energy,
so before I can
start the van and drive,
281
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:00,000
I have to take a breath,
because
282
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,867
I have to take a breath,
because
283
00:15:00,867 --> 00:15:04,567
It done took so much energy
to do all that movin'.
284
00:15:05,767 --> 00:15:07,900
[speaking indistinctly]
285
00:15:12,767 --> 00:15:14,100
[Latonya speaking]
286
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,967
[Daune speaking]
287
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:22,867
[groaning and straining]
288
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:26,600
[Latonya speaking]
289
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,867
I take my chair,
because when I ride
the store wheelchairs
290
00:15:32,867 --> 00:15:34,800
I'm uncomfortable.
291
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:37,200
When I'm in my wheelchair,
I'm comfortable.
292
00:15:37,266 --> 00:15:40,200
And I don't get really tired
when I go grocery shoppin'
293
00:15:40,266 --> 00:15:43,500
because I'm doin'
somethin' that I like.
294
00:15:43,867 --> 00:15:45,033
[grunts]
295
00:15:46,967 --> 00:15:49,567
Once I get inside, I'll be
in the store for hours,
296
00:15:49,567 --> 00:15:52,767
because I don't know
the next time when I'mma go.
297
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,367
Everybody got a hobby,
and food is my hobby.
298
00:15:57,367 --> 00:15:59,000
Oh, y'all get some doughnuts?
299
00:16:00,166 --> 00:16:01,133
The glazed doughnuts?
300
00:16:01,166 --> 00:16:03,266
Get the strawberry ones too.
Them different.
301
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:07,100
I eat about
six times per day.
302
00:16:07,767 --> 00:16:09,166
Daune, the chips
are over here.
303
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,667
[speaking indistinctly]
304
00:16:12,467 --> 00:16:14,166
I need some meat.
305
00:16:14,667 --> 00:16:15,867
Eggs, bacon.
306
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,266
Turkey bacon with some juice.
307
00:16:20,967 --> 00:16:23,467
Pork, beef, chicken.
308
00:16:23,467 --> 00:16:26,367
Tilapia fish and a salad
or something like that.
309
00:16:26,367 --> 00:16:29,200
Jambalaya rice,
macaroni and cheese.
310
00:16:29,266 --> 00:16:30,000
I love chips, I like candy.
311
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,700
I love chips, I like candy.
312
00:16:31,767 --> 00:16:34,266
Cake, you know,
cookies, you know,
313
00:16:34,266 --> 00:16:36,266
sweet stuff like that.
I love cereal.
314
00:16:37,166 --> 00:16:39,567
Some days I don't even
eat regular food.
315
00:16:39,567 --> 00:16:41,467
I just eat snacks all day.
316
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:44,700
Thank you for your time.
You too. Be blessed.
317
00:16:44,767 --> 00:16:46,000
Thank you. Goodbye.
318
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,567
Food is my comfort zone,
319
00:16:48,567 --> 00:16:49,967
and I'm just
tryin' to get out,
320
00:16:50,467 --> 00:16:51,400
get in the car.
321
00:16:52,266 --> 00:16:55,000
So I can eat chips,
something like that.
322
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:58,467
[straining] One, two...
323
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,400
[grunting]
324
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,166
-Oh, my God.
-[car door closes]
325
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:23,166
Ooh! Don't drop that,
it's hot.
326
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:26,500
Yeah! Ouch!
327
00:17:28,867 --> 00:17:30,000
I'll call you
when it's ready, babe.
328
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:30,467
I'll call you
when it's ready, babe.
329
00:17:32,367 --> 00:17:33,667
Okay.
330
00:17:33,667 --> 00:17:37,367
It's so hard to stop
because the food,
331
00:17:37,367 --> 00:17:39,266
it just feels so good,
you know.
332
00:17:40,166 --> 00:17:42,500
It takes the pain away.
333
00:17:42,567 --> 00:17:44,400
It's been my friend
for a long time.
334
00:17:44,867 --> 00:17:45,900
Oh, yeah!
335
00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:49,967
I'm ready to go to Houston,
and meet Dr. Now.
336
00:17:49,967 --> 00:17:52,667
Like my mama used to say,
"If you gonna worry,
don't pray.
337
00:17:52,667 --> 00:17:53,867
If you gonna pray,
don't worry."
338
00:17:56,567 --> 00:17:57,967
For all the people
who was praying for me,
339
00:17:57,967 --> 00:18:00,000
I thank 'em.
You know what I'm sayin'?
340
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:00,166
I thank 'em.
You know what I'm sayin'?
341
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:03,500
Now, it's my turn,
to pay her back, you know.
342
00:18:03,567 --> 00:18:06,266
That's why I'm here.
I'mma stay with her forever.
343
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,700
She gonna do it this time.
344
00:18:08,767 --> 00:18:10,367
All the way.
She gonna go all the way.
345
00:18:10,367 --> 00:18:12,700
Lose this weight,
'cause she got me with her.
346
00:18:13,967 --> 00:18:15,767
[Latonya] The outcome
of what I'm eating...
347
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,100
My fear is that
if I don't lose weight
348
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:23,166
that I won't be
around a lot longer.
349
00:18:27,467 --> 00:18:28,900
I wanna change that.
350
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:31,867
I wanna save my life,
351
00:18:31,867 --> 00:18:34,700
because I don't wanna
be this person anymore.
352
00:18:34,767 --> 00:18:36,900
I don't wanna be in this body.
353
00:18:36,967 --> 00:18:39,400
My body feel like
it's my prison.
354
00:18:39,467 --> 00:18:41,100
I'm ready to get out of it.
355
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,567
We come here. We gonna live,
and we gonna die.
356
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,100
And I'm not ready
to let go yet.
357
00:18:53,567 --> 00:18:55,066
[guitar music playing]
358
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:09,900
[Latonya]
Got my tights in here,
gotta get my boots.
359
00:19:09,967 --> 00:19:12,867
-Got to go see Dr. Now
with my boots.
-[Virgie] Yeah.
360
00:19:12,867 --> 00:19:15,000
[Latonya] And I'm just...
I'm excited though.
361
00:19:15,467 --> 00:19:16,900
I'm kinda nervous.
362
00:19:17,867 --> 00:19:19,066
[Virgie speaking]
363
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,600
[Latonya] Today,
I'm going to Houston,
to see Dr. Now.
364
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:30,867
-Do I--
-You... You can hang that
in the back of the van.
365
00:19:30,867 --> 00:19:33,567
[Latonya] The trip should be
about four-and-a-half hours.
366
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,967
Okay, guys, if y'all can,
367
00:19:35,967 --> 00:19:38,667
just please put that
in the van for me.
368
00:19:38,667 --> 00:19:41,400
That's a very long time
for me to be in the car,
369
00:19:41,467 --> 00:19:43,867
but I should be able
to handle it in one shot.
370
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,567
I plan to drive.
371
00:19:54,767 --> 00:19:56,000
[sighs wearily]
372
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,367
Ooh, it's cold.
373
00:20:01,066 --> 00:20:03,100
No, stick it in, please.
374
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,100
[breathing heavily]
375
00:20:05,166 --> 00:20:06,567
Thank you.
376
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:10,166
Okay.
377
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:15,066
[straining] One, two...
378
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,300
-Three.
-[seat squeaking]
379
00:20:21,767 --> 00:20:22,506
[grunts]
380
00:20:22,506 --> 00:20:22,700
[grunts]
381
00:20:26,367 --> 00:20:27,700
[Latonya] Okay, thank you.
382
00:20:30,967 --> 00:20:32,867
Bye. [chuckles softly]
383
00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:34,066
-Okay.
-[Virgie] Drive safe.
384
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:35,867
-Love you.
-[Virgie] Love you, honey.
385
00:20:35,867 --> 00:20:38,867
-Gotta go. Okay.
-[doors closing]
386
00:20:38,867 --> 00:20:42,467
Y'all ready to roll?
Deuces! Let's roll.
387
00:20:48,266 --> 00:20:50,100
[Latonya] All right, Houston.
Here we come.
388
00:20:51,767 --> 00:20:52,506
Honey, are we there yet?
389
00:20:52,506 --> 00:20:54,266
Honey, are we there yet?
390
00:20:54,266 --> 00:20:56,867
-[Daune] What? Oh.
-[Latonya] Are we there yet?
391
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,000
[Latonya speaking]
392
00:21:01,300 --> 00:21:02,166
Yup.
393
00:21:03,266 --> 00:21:04,300
-I just... my...
-You alright?
394
00:21:07,166 --> 00:21:09,600
And then I'm driving
with my trip toe.
395
00:21:09,667 --> 00:21:11,700
With my toe
'cause I'm too far back.
396
00:21:12,367 --> 00:21:13,200
I'm too short.
397
00:21:14,867 --> 00:21:16,300
[Daune] Uh, we're in Bethesda.
398
00:21:16,367 --> 00:21:18,000
Babe, get my cake out the bag.
399
00:21:20,667 --> 00:21:22,000
Open it for me.
400
00:21:24,166 --> 00:21:27,166
It's my last week, so...
401
00:21:27,166 --> 00:21:30,100
I gotta get it in before I go
to Houston to see the Dr. Now.
402
00:21:30,667 --> 00:21:31,667
Thank you.
403
00:21:35,567 --> 00:21:38,000
This is wear and tear
on the body.
404
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,166
Now, I'm just ready
to get out of this car.
405
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,100
I don't wanna talk to
nobody rest of the night,
406
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:48,467
I don't want nobody calling
my phone, leave me alone
407
00:21:48,467 --> 00:21:52,506
-till tomorrow.
-[Daune] It'll pay off
in a year, baby.
408
00:21:52,506 --> 00:21:52,900
-till tomorrow.
-[Daune] It'll pay off
in a year, baby.
409
00:21:52,967 --> 00:21:55,867
[Latonya] No, I'm really
trying to make
a change. I'm trying.
410
00:21:55,867 --> 00:21:59,367
-You gotta do it then.
-Shut up, don't tell me what
the [bleep] I gotta do.
411
00:21:59,367 --> 00:22:00,767
Yeah, you got it.
412
00:22:00,767 --> 00:22:03,867
I ain't gotta do [bleep]
except stay
black, fat and die.
413
00:22:03,867 --> 00:22:08,367
You ain't gonna stay fat,
so, I don't know
about the rest of that.
414
00:22:08,367 --> 00:22:11,100
We need you to be here
for a long time.
415
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:13,800
Okay?
416
00:22:13,867 --> 00:22:18,400
[Latonya] It may seem that
I come out mean, crazy,
417
00:22:18,467 --> 00:22:20,900
it's just a lot of emotions
418
00:22:20,967 --> 00:22:22,506
that I'm dealing with
at this moment.
419
00:22:22,506 --> 00:22:22,800
that I'm dealing with
at this moment.
420
00:22:22,867 --> 00:22:24,467
So, when you're in pain,
421
00:22:24,467 --> 00:22:27,500
you sad because--
because you feel that way.
422
00:22:27,567 --> 00:22:31,467
So sometimes you do
be angry with
people around you.
423
00:22:31,467 --> 00:22:35,767
It's not intentional,
but it just happen like that.
424
00:22:35,767 --> 00:22:39,567
I am ready to lay down!
425
00:22:39,567 --> 00:22:44,300
I'm tired, I'm aggravated,
and I'm pissed off.
426
00:22:44,367 --> 00:22:46,100
Thank God I'm finally here.
427
00:22:51,266 --> 00:22:52,506
All right, shorty.
428
00:22:52,506 --> 00:22:52,767
All right, shorty.
429
00:22:54,266 --> 00:22:57,000
I've been in the car
for four hours straight.
430
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,166
We haven't stopped at all.
431
00:22:59,166 --> 00:23:01,600
Living with pain like this
is no way to live.
432
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,100
Hey.
433
00:23:03,467 --> 00:23:05,000
All right.
434
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,506

435
00:23:22,506 --> 00:23:23,467

436
00:23:23,467 --> 00:23:25,266
I've got your chair.
437
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,166
[Duane] Here you go.
438
00:23:31,166 --> 00:23:33,100
You got it?
439
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:34,767

[Duane] Here you go.
443
00:23:48,867 --> 00:23:50,300
[Latonya] Ah, awesome.
444
00:23:51,567 --> 00:23:52,506
This gonna be
my side over here.
445
00:23:52,506 --> 00:23:54,000
This gonna be
my side over here.
446
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
[sighs in relief]
447
00:23:58,567 --> 00:24:02,266
Oh Lord, that ride was four
hours and I am beat.
448
00:24:02,266 --> 00:24:04,467
I'm ready to lay down.
449
00:24:04,467 --> 00:24:06,700
My whole body hurting.
450
00:24:06,767 --> 00:24:10,700
Nobody be not missing me
tomorrow. Period.
451
00:24:10,767 --> 00:24:12,000
I don't want to be bothered.
452
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,567
At all.
453
00:24:14,066 --> 00:24:16,800
Can you please...
454
00:24:16,867 --> 00:24:19,567
turn the lights off,
so I can lay down?
455
00:24:19,567 --> 00:24:22,506
-'Cause I'm tired. Yeah.
-[man] All right. Well...
456
00:24:22,506 --> 00:24:23,567
-'Cause I'm tired. Yeah.
-[man] All right. Well...
457
00:24:23,567 --> 00:24:28,700
-All right. I love you too.
Hm [kisses].
-I love you.
458
00:24:28,767 --> 00:24:30,200
[Latonya] I'll see you
in the morning.
459
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,800
[captivating instrumental
music playing]
460
00:24:34,867 --> 00:24:37,600
[Latonya] I am
feeling anxious,
461
00:24:37,667 --> 00:24:39,467
I just--I don't know
what he's gonna tell me.
462
00:24:39,467 --> 00:24:42,800
-[beeping]
-I'm just excited and I'm just
ready to get it over with
463
00:24:42,867 --> 00:24:44,700
and get it started.
464
00:24:44,767 --> 00:24:47,567
Right now the hardest part
is just starting.
465
00:24:47,567 --> 00:24:51,367
But you know you have to
start from somewhere, so...
466
00:24:51,367 --> 00:24:52,506
[Latonya] Oh my God,
y'all we here!
467
00:24:52,506 --> 00:24:53,700
[Latonya] Oh my God,
y'all we here!
468
00:24:53,767 --> 00:24:55,166
Let's start this now.
469
00:24:55,166 --> 00:24:56,367
[Duane] The whole thing.
470
00:24:57,567 --> 00:24:58,900
[Latonya sighs]
471
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:01,767
[indistinct conversation]
472
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:07,700
[Latonya] I don't know
if Dr. Now
is gonna remember me.
473
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,000
But if he does,
474
00:25:10,066 --> 00:25:12,867
I'm worried that he's not
going to take me seriously.
475
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,400
[keys jingling]
476
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,567

[door closes]
479
00:25:49,867 --> 00:25:52,506
But I know my life
depends on losing weight.
480
00:25:52,506 --> 00:25:52,900
But I know my life
depends on losing weight.
481
00:25:54,767 --> 00:25:57,600
But I'm ready to do
whatever it takes this time.
482
00:25:57,667 --> 00:26:00,066
To make sure that
that happens.
483
00:26:02,367 --> 00:26:05,166
So I just hope I get
another chance from him.
484
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,800
I cannot screw this up again.
485
00:26:09,867 --> 00:26:13,066
It's either do this right this
time or die.
486
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:42,100
[introspective instrumental
music playing]
487
00:26:48,567 --> 00:26:51,700
I'm here at Dr. Now's clinic
to get my weight checked.
488
00:26:54,166 --> 00:26:58,266
And it's been a long time
since I've been here.
489
00:26:58,266 --> 00:27:00,800
-Latonya?
-[Latonya] So I'm really
worried about
490
00:27:00,867 --> 00:27:02,300
how much weight I did gain.
491
00:27:02,367 --> 00:27:04,100
Good luck.
492
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:07,266
-Yes. I think so.
-In here. [chuckles politely]
493
00:27:07,266 --> 00:27:08,597
-Excuse me.
-Mmm-hmm.
494
00:27:08,597 --> 00:27:09,166
-Excuse me.
-Mmm-hmm.
495
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Ah...
496
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:21,800
[Daune] Do you know what one?
497
00:27:21,867 --> 00:27:23,600
I think this is the one.
498
00:27:23,667 --> 00:27:25,567
-Ok.
-[clanging] How gone...
499
00:27:25,567 --> 00:27:28,100
-This is good.
-I know.
500
00:27:29,467 --> 00:27:30,800
You gotta get on it.
501
00:27:31,867 --> 00:27:33,300
I know.
502
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:36,367
It's gonna be hard for me.
503
00:27:36,367 --> 00:27:37,800
You ready to step on?
504
00:27:37,867 --> 00:27:38,597
-Not really.
-[nurse] Let me know.
505
00:27:38,597 --> 00:27:39,867
-Not really.
-[nurse] Let me know.
506
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:43,600
Dang, everybody right here.
507
00:27:45,166 --> 00:27:48,367
This is a difficult moment
for me.
508
00:27:48,367 --> 00:27:52,367
Take the sweater off.
Need no extra pounds.
509
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,400
Okay.
510
00:27:55,467 --> 00:27:58,100
-Get all this...
-[creaking]
511
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:01,767
Oh, my God.
512
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:04,400
I'm scared.

[Daune] Just stay right
there...

00:28:12,767 --> 00:28:14,200
[Latonya] I'm hurting!
518
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:16,567
[groans]
519
00:28:17,967 --> 00:28:19,867
[panting]
520
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,200
[nurse] All right your
weight is 632.
521
00:28:26,266 --> 00:28:27,867
[grunts]
522
00:28:27,867 --> 00:28:30,166
[Latonya] I'm not
too happy with that.
523
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:32,100
But it could've been worse.
524
00:28:36,367 --> 00:28:38,000
Daune, can you get
the jacket for me?
525
00:28:42,367 --> 00:28:44,567
-[nurse] Okay, we're going
to go to room five.
-Okay.
526
00:28:59,667 --> 00:29:00,700
[bleep]
527
00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:08,597
-[Daune] Oof.
-[Latonya] I know you tired.
528
00:29:08,597 --> 00:29:09,767
-[Daune] Oof.
-[Latonya] I know you tired.
529
00:29:09,767 --> 00:29:11,400
-Oh no.
-You tired.
530
00:29:11,467 --> 00:29:12,600
Please. I'm not...
531
00:29:12,967 --> 00:29:14,300
...tired.
532
00:29:14,367 --> 00:29:15,800
I know.
533
00:29:15,867 --> 00:29:17,567
I'm tired too.
534
00:29:17,567 --> 00:29:19,500
I'm ready to
get this over with.
535
00:29:20,867 --> 00:29:22,367
I'm tired of being fat.
536
00:29:22,667 --> 00:29:23,967
Hm.
537
00:29:24,467 --> 00:29:25,867
[doorknob rattling]
538
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:30,967
-Hello, how y'all doing?
-Hello. Hi. Dr Now,
how're you doing?
539
00:29:30,967 --> 00:29:33,600
-[door closes]
-Good. So...
540
00:29:33,667 --> 00:29:36,100
[Dr. Now] Latonya?
Good to see you again.
541
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:38,597
-Yes, sir.
-So, you brought someone new
542
00:29:38,597 --> 00:29:38,667
-Yes, sir.
-So, you brought someone new
543
00:29:38,667 --> 00:29:39,567
with you this time.
544
00:29:39,567 --> 00:29:41,200
And who is this
young man with you?
545
00:29:41,266 --> 00:29:43,467
This is my fiance, Daune.
546
00:29:43,467 --> 00:29:46,200
All right, nice
to meet you, Daune.
547
00:29:46,266 --> 00:29:48,467
[Dr. Now] Well,
Latonya, it says
548
00:29:48,467 --> 00:29:53,367
here in the chart, that you
came in five years ago,
549
00:29:53,367 --> 00:29:58,667
when you were 482 pounds,
and now you're 631 pounds.
550
00:29:58,667 --> 00:30:01,767
How long you've been in this
motorized wheelchair?
551
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:04,867
-[Latonya] About five years.
-Okay [sighs]
552
00:30:04,867 --> 00:30:07,567
[Dr. Now] So, things
have gotten worse
for you.
553
00:30:07,567 --> 00:30:08,597
So, now how motivated
554
00:30:08,597 --> 00:30:09,767
So, now how motivated
555
00:30:09,767 --> 00:30:11,700
you are to change
your eating habit?
556
00:30:11,767 --> 00:30:13,967
How motivated are you
to change your life?
557
00:30:13,967 --> 00:30:16,967
And how motivated you are
to give up this
motorized wheelchair?
558
00:30:16,967 --> 00:30:18,700
[Latonya] I'm very motivated.
559
00:30:18,767 --> 00:30:20,467
-[Dr. Now] What're you
willing to do?
-I--
560
00:30:21,367 --> 00:30:23,100
I'm willing to make a change.
561
00:30:23,166 --> 00:30:24,867
That's why I came here.
562
00:30:24,867 --> 00:30:29,100
Well, you came here before.
And you were given a chance
to make those changes.
563
00:30:29,166 --> 00:30:32,567
And in the past five years,
you haven't
made those changes.
564
00:30:32,567 --> 00:30:35,066
What is different today?
Tell me.
565
00:30:35,066 --> 00:30:38,597
Because I finally have
a great support system,
566
00:30:38,597 --> 00:30:38,767
Because I finally have
a great support system,
567
00:30:38,767 --> 00:30:41,700
with my family,
like I never just...
568
00:30:41,767 --> 00:30:44,967
really just reached out
to my family and...
569
00:30:44,967 --> 00:30:47,166
I always tried
to do it on my own.
570
00:30:47,767 --> 00:30:49,767
And I recently just
571
00:30:49,767 --> 00:30:53,066
reached out to them and
told them to support me.
572
00:30:53,066 --> 00:30:57,600
They really came through.
And then meeting him,
coming into my life,
573
00:30:57,667 --> 00:30:59,700
has been a change because
574
00:30:59,767 --> 00:31:02,667
I know that he love me,
love me, like...
575
00:31:02,667 --> 00:31:04,767
I don't have to question it.
576
00:31:04,767 --> 00:31:08,597
So, I just look forward to
losing this weight because
577
00:31:08,597 --> 00:31:08,667
So, I just look forward to
losing this weight because
578
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:12,000
I wanna get married,
I wanna have
my own child, like,
579
00:31:12,066 --> 00:31:14,367
and start my own family
and be normal.
580
00:31:14,367 --> 00:31:18,367
All right. So, you know
what normal weight
for you should be?
581
00:31:18,367 --> 00:31:21,100
What I--What is it?
With my height?
582
00:31:21,166 --> 00:31:23,066
-What is it?
-160-170.
583
00:31:23,066 --> 00:31:26,867
Now, can you close your eyes
and imagine you as 170 pounds?
584
00:31:28,667 --> 00:31:30,467
-[Daune] Be about my size.
-Yeah.
585
00:31:30,467 --> 00:31:33,000
[Dr. Now] And you know
you have BMI of over 100?
586
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,667
And normal BMI is 18 to 25.
587
00:31:35,667 --> 00:31:38,597
And that's very high BMI,
and as young as you are...
588
00:31:38,597 --> 00:31:39,667
And that's very high BMI,
and as young as you are...
589
00:31:39,667 --> 00:31:41,800
your body has been
able to handle that.
590
00:31:41,867 --> 00:31:43,867
But that's going
to change here soon.
591
00:31:43,867 --> 00:31:46,667
And if you keep gaining
like you have,
all that weight
592
00:31:46,667 --> 00:31:48,500
is gonna put a lot of strain
on your system
593
00:31:48,567 --> 00:31:50,100
and you're not gonna
live that long.
594
00:31:50,166 --> 00:31:53,567
-Yes.
-Okay, so, it's going
to be a challenge,
595
00:31:53,567 --> 00:31:55,567
for you to get
your weight down,
596
00:31:55,567 --> 00:31:58,066
but you don't have
any more time to waste,
Latonya.
597
00:31:58,066 --> 00:32:00,200
So the changes have
to start now.
598
00:32:00,266 --> 00:32:01,967
And after the diet,
599
00:32:01,967 --> 00:32:04,767
the most important thing
is you get out
of that wheelchair.
600
00:32:04,767 --> 00:32:08,597
People that are
in motorized wheelchairs,
they have a real tendency
601
00:32:08,597 --> 00:32:08,700
People that are
in motorized wheelchairs,
they have a real tendency
602
00:32:08,767 --> 00:32:11,567
-to do everything
in a wheelchair, so...
-Hm.
603
00:32:11,567 --> 00:32:13,467
...you need to
get out of that chair.
604
00:32:13,467 --> 00:32:17,100
So we'll set you up
some physical therapy
to help you do that.
605
00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:21,000
-Okay.
-So, tell me, what is your
eating habit look like?
606
00:32:21,066 --> 00:32:25,200
When you usually wake up
and when do you
usually start eating?
607
00:32:25,266 --> 00:32:29,367
[inhales] Um, I like wake up
at like 10.30, um...
608
00:32:29,367 --> 00:32:32,567
I'mma eat breakfast
at like 12:00.
609
00:32:32,567 --> 00:32:34,867
What do you usually eat?
610
00:32:34,867 --> 00:32:38,597
-Bacon, eggs, um, grits.
-Are you hungry
in the morning?
611
00:32:38,597 --> 00:32:39,600
-Bacon, eggs, um, grits.
-Are you hungry
in the morning?
612
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:41,367
Mmm-mmm. No, sir.
613
00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:44,367
But if you're not hungry,
you don't have to eat.
614
00:32:44,367 --> 00:32:48,600
But the doctor tell me that
if I don't eat then that
my metabolism
615
00:32:48,667 --> 00:32:50,967
is--is high or low or
something, I don't know...
616
00:32:50,967 --> 00:32:53,000
Okay, let me
tell you one thing.
617
00:32:53,066 --> 00:32:54,667
Everybody gonna confuse you.
618
00:32:54,667 --> 00:32:59,800
But you should never get
confused about
the one thing. Eat less.
619
00:32:59,867 --> 00:33:02,667
-Yes.
-Okay, there no
confusion with that.
620
00:33:02,667 --> 00:33:06,767
Okay, now, if--if you really
put the math together,
621
00:33:06,767 --> 00:33:08,597
you have eaten
the food that belong
622
00:33:08,597 --> 00:33:09,100
you have eaten
the food that belong
623
00:33:09,166 --> 00:33:11,500
-for next four years
ahead of time.
-[Latonya] Mmm-hmm.
624
00:33:11,567 --> 00:33:14,400
So, don't feel like
you have to eat.
625
00:33:14,467 --> 00:33:18,166
-Okay? So, if
you're 600 pounds...
-[chuckles] I got you.
626
00:33:18,166 --> 00:33:19,967
...you can easily lose
627
00:33:19,967 --> 00:33:22,100
I don't know,
60-70 pounds a month.
628
00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:23,800
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
629
00:33:23,867 --> 00:33:26,767
So, how much weight do you
think I would have to lose
630
00:33:26,767 --> 00:33:28,100
before you approve me
for surgery?
631
00:33:28,166 --> 00:33:29,667
Well, I'm going to give you
a month.
632
00:33:29,667 --> 00:33:33,266
And I want you to
lose at least 40 to 50 pounds
in one month.
633
00:33:33,266 --> 00:33:35,767
So, if you
stick to the diet I gave you,
634
00:33:35,767 --> 00:33:37,567
that shouldn't be
a problem for you.
635
00:33:37,567 --> 00:33:38,597
-You think you can do
that? All right. Great.
-I can do it.
636
00:33:38,597 --> 00:33:40,867
-You think you can do
that? All right. Great.
-I can do it.
637
00:33:40,867 --> 00:33:42,767
-Thank you.
-This is gonna be hard.
638
00:33:42,767 --> 00:33:45,467
But nobody said
it's gonna be easy.
639
00:33:45,467 --> 00:33:48,900
You have to be determined,
and you have
to be motivated.
640
00:33:48,967 --> 00:33:51,000
We gonna give
you an instruction
641
00:33:51,066 --> 00:33:53,767
but it's all going to be up
to you to follow those.
642
00:33:53,767 --> 00:33:57,400
I gave you that before but
then you never came back.
643
00:33:57,467 --> 00:34:00,667
-So hopefully this time
it's different. Okay?
-Yes, sir.
644
00:34:00,667 --> 00:34:03,500
So, I'm going to
bring you some stuff,
and then go over it,
645
00:34:03,567 --> 00:34:06,667
and then we're gonna see
how you're doing in four weeks
646
00:34:06,667 --> 00:34:08,597
and whether you lost
40 pounds or not. Okay?
647
00:34:08,597 --> 00:34:09,367
and whether you lost
40 pounds or not. Okay?
648
00:34:09,367 --> 00:34:12,867
And if you do that, then we're
going to work with you.
649
00:34:12,867 --> 00:34:16,367
-Awesome. Awesome, thank you.
-[Dr. Now] Okay. Okay?
650
00:34:16,367 --> 00:34:19,200
-[exhales] All right,
gonna be back.
-I've been telling you, man...
651
00:34:31,467 --> 00:34:33,900
[softly] I'm tired.
652
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:37,367
You acting like I eat a lot.
653
00:34:37,367 --> 00:34:38,597
Don't matter, you might think
I'm not eating a lot,
654
00:34:38,597 --> 00:34:40,066
Don't matter, you might think
I'm not eating a lot,
655
00:34:40,066 --> 00:34:41,567
you might eat breakfast...
656
00:34:54,567 --> 00:34:56,967
-You think you ain't
be eating a lot.
-Can we just...
657
00:34:56,967 --> 00:34:59,467
-do it
and not talk about it...
-[Daune] You gonna do it.
658
00:34:59,467 --> 00:35:02,700
-Okay. But I can't, I can't.
-[Daune] You talk about it,
still do it.
659
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:06,367
Not right now.
I just can't...
660
00:35:06,367 --> 00:35:08,597
I don't have the energy,
I'm burnt out.
661
00:35:08,597 --> 00:35:09,066
I don't have the energy,
I'm burnt out.
662
00:35:09,066 --> 00:35:11,200
-Man, I'm burnt out too.
-About weight loss,
663
00:35:11,266 --> 00:35:14,667
-I--I know we can do...
-I'm just saying that
if it's that bad
664
00:35:14,667 --> 00:35:17,467
-then it's good... I did.
-It's not a bad thing.
I heard that, but...
665
00:35:17,467 --> 00:35:21,567
-It's like, you are here,
my family right here
-[Daune] Yeah, right.
666
00:35:21,567 --> 00:35:25,767
everybody just... [growling]
667
00:35:25,767 --> 00:35:27,266
It's our support.
668
00:35:28,967 --> 00:35:31,967
Hopefully, Latonya is serious
about getting healthy,
669
00:35:31,967 --> 00:35:35,066
and finally ready to make
the changes she needs.
670
00:35:35,066 --> 00:35:38,597
The last time
she came to see me,
after I gave her the diet
671
00:35:38,597 --> 00:35:38,667
The last time
she came to see me,
after I gave her the diet
672
00:35:38,667 --> 00:35:41,567
and exercise that she needed,
to start working on,
673
00:35:41,567 --> 00:35:43,066
she didn't come back.
674
00:35:43,066 --> 00:35:45,266
So, in seeing
that she didn't want
675
00:35:45,266 --> 00:35:48,400
to do what it took
to improve her situation.
676
00:35:48,467 --> 00:35:52,166
She seem to have good
support from her fiance,
Daune.
677
00:35:52,166 --> 00:35:54,967
So this is all gonna come
down to whether or not
678
00:35:54,967 --> 00:35:57,567
Latonya is willing to work
to get healthy.
679
00:36:00,066 --> 00:36:01,467
All right.
680
00:36:02,667 --> 00:36:06,600
-So this is what you
need to read.
-Okay.
681
00:36:06,667 --> 00:36:08,597
So let me go over that
with you.
682
00:36:08,597 --> 00:36:08,967
So let me go over that
with you.
683
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:12,867
So you understand the diet
and exercise you need
to be doing, okay?
684
00:36:12,867 --> 00:36:15,367
-Yes, sir.
-So what it say in here?
685
00:36:15,367 --> 00:36:18,667
-I really don't eat
very much.
-Great, now,
686
00:36:18,667 --> 00:36:20,367
-that's your answer?
-Are you teasing me?
687
00:36:20,367 --> 00:36:22,800
-That's-- No, is what--
That's exactly...
-Yeah.
688
00:36:22,867 --> 00:36:25,266
-...what everybody thinks.
-Yeah.
689
00:36:25,266 --> 00:36:29,166
Latonya, it seems,
is defensive
about her eating habits.
690
00:36:29,166 --> 00:36:33,667
And doesn't realize
how much she actually
is eating at one time.
691
00:36:33,667 --> 00:36:38,200
But she primarily blames
emotional issues as the reason
692
00:36:38,266 --> 00:36:38,597
why she didn't do what she
needed the first time.
693
00:36:38,597 --> 00:36:41,367
why she didn't do what she
needed the first time.
694
00:36:41,367 --> 00:36:45,166
But claimed that she worked
through those issues
with her family,
695
00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:47,967
so they're not holding her
back any longer.
696
00:36:47,967 --> 00:36:52,667
So, we'll see if that's
the case and she's willing
to put in the hard work
697
00:36:52,667 --> 00:36:54,767
to make the progress she
needs.
698
00:36:54,767 --> 00:36:57,767
And the next thing
I want you to do is,
699
00:36:57,767 --> 00:37:00,066
I want you
to follow this book,
700
00:37:00,066 --> 00:37:04,100
and this chapter of exercises.
701
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:06,400
Oh, wow,
you got your own book.
702
00:37:06,467 --> 00:37:08,597
-Okay?
-What is this?
703
00:37:08,597 --> 00:37:09,000
-Okay?
-What is this?
704
00:37:09,066 --> 00:37:14,166
These are exercises and
three, four, five, six pages.
705
00:37:14,166 --> 00:37:16,066
So you need to do those,
706
00:37:16,066 --> 00:37:18,066
and we're going to get
physical therapy
707
00:37:18,066 --> 00:37:19,867
to help you get walking again.
708
00:37:19,867 --> 00:37:22,266
-[Latonya] Okay.
-[Dr. Now] So, good luck,
709
00:37:22,266 --> 00:37:24,100
try to get your weight down,
710
00:37:24,166 --> 00:37:27,667
and lose at least 40 pounds
this next month.
711
00:37:27,667 --> 00:37:31,867
-Do your exercises, and get
up out of that chair, okay?
-Yes, sir.
712
00:37:31,867 --> 00:37:35,266
-Do you have any--any--
uh, questions?
-I got you.
713
00:37:35,266 --> 00:37:36,667
[Latonya] No, sir.
714
00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:38,597
All right, I'll see you
in a month.
715
00:37:38,597 --> 00:37:39,100
All right, I'll see you
in a month.
716
00:37:39,166 --> 00:37:40,867
-Thank you.
-[Dr. Now] And if
you have
717
00:37:40,867 --> 00:37:43,400
any need for anything,
you may call.
718
00:37:43,467 --> 00:37:45,467
-Okay.
-Nice to see you.
719
00:37:45,467 --> 00:37:46,767
[Daune] No worries.
720
00:37:46,767 --> 00:37:48,867
-[Latonya] Bye, bye.
-[Dr. Now] Bye.
721
00:37:48,867 --> 00:37:50,367
[Latonya] You ready?
722
00:37:50,367 --> 00:37:53,667
It's time to go. Let's go,
please, let's go.
723
00:37:53,667 --> 00:37:55,900
-Let's go.
-Ok...
724
00:37:55,967 --> 00:37:59,600
Watch your feet, baby.
I almost took your my leg off!
725
00:37:59,667 --> 00:38:02,000
[Latonya] I am ready
to do this.
726
00:38:02,066 --> 00:38:04,667
And I'm not gonna
mess it up this time.
727
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,597
In life, you don't get too
many second chances.
728
00:38:08,597 --> 00:38:09,567
In life, you don't get too
many second chances.
729
00:38:09,567 --> 00:38:12,600
And this one here,
is a big one for me.
730
00:38:12,667 --> 00:38:14,567
So, I know better than
to take it for granted.
731
00:38:14,567 --> 00:38:16,000
Ooh. [yelps]
732
00:38:17,867 --> 00:38:19,300
All righty.
733
00:38:19,367 --> 00:38:20,900
Adrian, you ready?
734
00:38:20,967 --> 00:38:23,967
Let's go baby.
Grab that purse
that book, and let's go.
735
00:38:23,967 --> 00:38:26,767
-This is how I'm
gonna make right with myself.
-All right...
736
00:38:26,767 --> 00:38:29,100
-For all the wrong
I've done to my body.
-Okay...
737
00:38:29,867 --> 00:38:31,500
[door opens]
738
00:38:32,066 --> 00:38:33,667
Open the door...
739
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,667
[sighs]
740
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:44,100
[melancholy music playing]
741
00:38:55,467 --> 00:38:57,500
Latonya? You ready
to get dressed, hon?
742
00:38:57,567 --> 00:39:00,400
I am. [groans]
743
00:39:00,467 --> 00:39:03,900
[Latonya] Seeing Dr Now,
it really kind of just...
744
00:39:03,967 --> 00:39:06,567
helped me understand that if
you wanna live,
745
00:39:06,567 --> 00:39:08,900
then you have to make
some changes.
746
00:39:08,967 --> 00:39:10,867
And so, he wanted
me to lose
747
00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:13,400
40 pounds...
748
00:39:13,467 --> 00:39:17,100
And I think I may have lost
a few pounds.
749
00:39:17,166 --> 00:39:19,500
But, I'm just happy because
750
00:39:19,567 --> 00:39:22,667
lately, Dr Now is sending me
to a physical trainer
751
00:39:22,667 --> 00:39:25,000
to help me do the exercises.
752
00:39:25,066 --> 00:39:27,967
And you all gonna work out?
753
00:39:27,967 --> 00:39:31,166
Ooh, I hope she don't have me
doing that too hard
because I'm hurting.
754
00:39:31,166 --> 00:39:33,500
What--Where my purse at?
I need to take my medicine.
755
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:37,667
[knocking at door]
756
00:39:38,567 --> 00:39:40,367
[Latonya] Come on in, Jameka.
757
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,235
[door opens]
758
00:39:41,235 --> 00:39:42,166
[door opens]
759
00:39:42,166 --> 00:39:44,600
-Hey, beautiful.
-Hey, you.
760
00:39:44,667 --> 00:39:46,667
-Hey, sexy.
-[Latonya] How are you?
761
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:50,467
-Ooh baby, if I get as fine
as you, ooh baby! Lord!
-[playfully] Stop.
762
00:39:50,467 --> 00:39:51,967
How you feeling?
763
00:39:51,967 --> 00:39:54,400
-[sighs] I'm exhausted,
but I'm good.
-Yeah.
764
00:39:54,467 --> 00:39:56,266
My legs look an apple.
765
00:39:56,266 --> 00:39:58,600
-[Jameka] Okay. [chuckles]
-But baby, I'm--I'm okay.
766
00:39:58,667 --> 00:40:01,100
[Jameka] I am proud of Latonya
and how far she's come.
767
00:40:01,166 --> 00:40:03,900
'Cause at first, she was lazy.
768
00:40:03,967 --> 00:40:06,800
Exhale one...good,
769
00:40:06,867 --> 00:40:10,166
two, good, three...
770
00:40:10,166 --> 00:40:11,235
[Jameka] But Tonya's habits
have gotten better,
believe it or not. She...
771
00:40:11,235 --> 00:40:14,266
[Jameka] But Tonya's habits
have gotten better,
believe it or not. She...
772
00:40:14,266 --> 00:40:17,867
is watching what she's eating
but my concern is
773
00:40:17,867 --> 00:40:21,567
the physical, she's not really
exercising like she need to.
774
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,166
Nine...
775
00:40:25,166 --> 00:40:27,867
I don't think Latonya works
out when I'm not here.
776
00:40:27,867 --> 00:40:29,467
And I can tell because,
777
00:40:29,467 --> 00:40:31,266
I'm pushing her
to exhaustion,
778
00:40:31,266 --> 00:40:33,367
but the pain in her leg,
she shouldn't be having that.
779
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:35,100
Three...
780
00:40:35,166 --> 00:40:37,900
But hopefully with the work
that we do,
781
00:40:37,967 --> 00:40:41,166
and she'll continue to do it,
and get a whole lot better.
782
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,467
Five, six...
783
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,567
Seven...
784
00:40:45,567 --> 00:40:49,166
Eight, nine, ten.
785
00:40:49,166 --> 00:40:50,867
I quit now. I'm tired.
786
00:40:50,867 --> 00:40:52,767
-[Jameka chuckles]
-The workout,
this is my first time
787
00:40:52,767 --> 00:40:54,567
I've been doing it in bed.
788
00:40:54,567 --> 00:40:57,567
'Cause I'd usually be in
my chair, but by me
being in pain today,
789
00:40:57,567 --> 00:40:59,767
-And the band, so...
-[Jameka] The band...
790
00:40:59,767 --> 00:41:02,367
-I'll be ready next time.
Thank you!
-All right. See you later.
791
00:41:02,367 --> 00:41:04,367
See you later, give me a hug.
792
00:41:04,367 --> 00:41:07,300
It's good. I feel it up here.
It's kinda...
793
00:41:07,367 --> 00:41:10,867
And got my legs,
the blood circulating
a little bit.
794
00:41:10,867 --> 00:41:11,235
It was awesome.
795
00:41:11,235 --> 00:41:12,100
It was awesome.
796
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:13,867
After I worked out like that,
797
00:41:13,867 --> 00:41:15,800
I worked up a real good
hunger.
798
00:41:15,867 --> 00:41:18,467
So when I'm done,
I'm waiting for
something good to eat.
799
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,000
That's fish, right?
800
00:41:22,066 --> 00:41:23,700
-Yeah.
-[plate clattering]
801
00:41:23,767 --> 00:41:27,166
I hope this ain't tilapia
fish, like...
802
00:41:27,166 --> 00:41:29,567
-Obviously...
-No, I don't ever
cook tilapia.
803
00:41:29,567 --> 00:41:31,867
I cooked that for you, but...
804
00:41:31,867 --> 00:41:34,100
I don't think fried food
805
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:37,567
is a good option for ya.
806
00:41:37,567 --> 00:41:40,500
I won't eat a whole lot,
just a taste, you know?
807
00:41:40,567 --> 00:41:41,235
[Virgie] For lunch,
today, we had
808
00:41:41,235 --> 00:41:42,467
[Virgie] For lunch,
today, we had
809
00:41:42,467 --> 00:41:45,767
some fish and some
French fries.
810
00:41:45,767 --> 00:41:48,066
It wasn't too healthy today.
811
00:41:48,066 --> 00:41:52,600
But, you know, she really
is trying really hard.
812
00:41:52,667 --> 00:41:55,000
Tonya cheats on her diet,
813
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,166
but not as much
as she used to.
814
00:41:57,166 --> 00:41:58,700
I see her sometimes,
815
00:41:58,767 --> 00:42:00,767
I try not to look at her, I--
816
00:42:00,767 --> 00:42:03,166
I act like I didn't see her.
[laughing]
817
00:42:03,166 --> 00:42:07,467
You know you can't be
restrict on a diet
all the time.
818
00:42:07,467 --> 00:42:11,235
Sometime, you need
a little something more.
For a taste.
819
00:42:11,235 --> 00:42:11,567
Sometime, you need
a little something more.
For a taste.
820
00:42:11,567 --> 00:42:14,166
[Latonya] I am worried about
going back to Dr. Now.
821
00:42:14,166 --> 00:42:16,467
Because I'm afraid of
what he gonna say.
822
00:42:16,467 --> 00:42:18,467
I'm praying that I've lost
some weigh.
823
00:42:18,467 --> 00:42:21,400
Basically, it's been hard,
but I know that
824
00:42:21,467 --> 00:42:23,000
my life depends on it.
825
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,166
I'm just
trying to keep it together.
826
00:42:26,166 --> 00:42:28,367
Good night. [groans]
827
00:42:29,767 --> 00:42:31,000
[sighs]
828
00:42:31,667 --> 00:42:33,767
[anticipatory music playing]
829
00:42:39,166 --> 00:42:41,235
[Latonya]
I'm back, I'm tired.
830
00:42:41,235 --> 00:42:42,567
[Latonya]
I'm back, I'm tired.
831
00:42:42,567 --> 00:42:44,467
Just to tell you
the truth, like...
832
00:42:44,467 --> 00:42:48,800
If it wasn't for you,
I really don't even think
I'd be fighting this hard.
833
00:42:48,867 --> 00:42:51,467
'Cause, last night,
in bed I was hurting.
834
00:42:51,467 --> 00:42:54,000
I was like, "I don't even
care if I get up
in the morning."
835
00:42:59,367 --> 00:43:01,000
keys [jingling]
836
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,266
Nah, we can take
the towel out.
837
00:43:09,367 --> 00:43:11,100
Yes, sir.
838
00:43:11,166 --> 00:43:11,235
[Latonya] Me and Duane
are back in Houston
to see Dr. Now.
839
00:43:11,235 --> 00:43:15,266
[Latonya] Me and Duane
are back in Houston
to see Dr. Now.
840
00:43:15,266 --> 00:43:18,367
It took twice as long for us
to drive this time because,
841
00:43:18,367 --> 00:43:21,767
I had to keep getting out
because my legs were
in a lot of pain.
842
00:43:23,667 --> 00:43:25,467
So, it's just taking
a toll on me.
843
00:43:26,867 --> 00:43:29,900
I just hope I made
the progress I need
with my weight loss.
844
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:35,867
[Latonya] You got it?
845
00:43:36,567 --> 00:43:37,400
[Daune speaking]
846
00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:47,567
[Latonya] Thank you.
847
00:43:50,967 --> 00:43:52,467
[exhales]
848
00:43:55,166 --> 00:43:56,066
[Daune speaking]
849
00:43:56,066 --> 00:43:58,100
[Latonya] No, I'm not nervous.
Mmm-hmm.
850
00:44:01,667 --> 00:44:02,867
It is what it's gonna be.
851
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:05,600
[nurse] Latonya?
852
00:44:08,767 --> 00:44:10,100
[Daune whispers]
You want the purse?
853
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:11,235
[whispers] Don't want
my purse, it's all right.
854
00:44:11,235 --> 00:44:12,500
[whispers] Don't want
my purse, it's all right.
855
00:44:12,567 --> 00:44:14,367
-Hello.
-Hello, how are you?
856
00:44:14,367 --> 00:44:15,600
[Latonya] I'm fine,
how are you?
857
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,467
You won't nudge.
858
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,767
Excuse my chair.
859
00:44:25,300 --> 00:44:26,767
[softly grunts]
860
00:44:26,767 --> 00:44:28,967
A month ago,
my weight was 631.
861
00:44:30,266 --> 00:44:34,767
And Dr. Now gave me a go
of losing 40 pounds
by today.
862
00:44:37,066 --> 00:44:40,567
So my hope is that
I'm at least down
to 551 today.
863
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:45,800
Okay.
864
00:44:47,367 --> 00:44:48,600
[Daune speaking]
865
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,800
[Latonya speaking]
866
00:44:57,266 --> 00:44:58,166
[groans]
867
00:44:59,667 --> 00:45:01,166
[Latonya] You got it?
868
00:45:01,166 --> 00:45:02,367
[Daune] Yeah,
hold on a little.
869
00:45:11,767 --> 00:45:13,367
[nurse] 636.
870
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:14,667
[Latonya groans]
871
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:19,667
[nurse] Okay.
872
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:22,767
We're going to room five.
873
00:45:22,767 --> 00:45:24,100
-[Latonya] Okay.
-[nurse] Okay?
874
00:45:24,100 --> 00:45:25,300
[Latonya] Are you ready?
875
00:45:25,367 --> 00:45:26,467
[speaking indistinctly]
876
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,367
Oh, Lord.
877
00:45:29,300 --> 00:45:31,667
Dr. Now finna really be ir--
878
00:45:31,667 --> 00:45:33,367
-And so what?
-Irritated.
879
00:45:36,467 --> 00:45:39,467
Oh, Lord, I ain't ready
to face him right now.
880
00:45:39,467 --> 00:45:41,235
I don't see
how that weight's possible.
881
00:45:41,235 --> 00:45:42,467
I don't see
how that weight's possible.
882
00:45:42,467 --> 00:45:44,667
'Cause I know I done
a lot to lose weight.
883
00:45:46,467 --> 00:45:48,100
[speaking indistinctly]
884
00:45:54,066 --> 00:45:55,000
[knock on door]
885
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:55,967
[Latonya] Come in.
886
00:45:58,100 --> 00:45:59,400
Hello, how y'all doing?
887
00:45:59,467 --> 00:46:00,667
-[Daune] Hello.
-Hello Dr. Now.
888
00:46:01,867 --> 00:46:03,000
Good.
889
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,567
Well, how was your trip
down here?
890
00:46:06,867 --> 00:46:08,166
[sighs] Tiring.
891
00:46:08,166 --> 00:46:10,900
It took me longer this time.
Eight hours.
892
00:46:10,967 --> 00:46:11,235
But,
I'm kind of scared that...
893
00:46:11,235 --> 00:46:12,967
But,
I'm kind of scared that...
894
00:46:13,767 --> 00:46:15,300
the pain that I'm feeling,
895
00:46:15,367 --> 00:46:18,000
it may be a blood clot
or something 'cause...
896
00:46:18,066 --> 00:46:21,767
like, it's-- it's--
It's a different type of pain.
897
00:46:22,867 --> 00:46:24,567
-And--
-[Dr. Now speaking]
898
00:46:24,567 --> 00:46:25,800
[Latonya] Right here.
899
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:28,467
In my leg.
And it's really, really like--
900
00:46:28,467 --> 00:46:30,166
-[Dr. Now] In your leg?
-[Latonya] Yes.
901
00:46:30,166 --> 00:46:31,867
And I have never
been this big.
902
00:46:33,266 --> 00:46:35,900
-[Dr. Now chuckles]
-[Latonya] It get big,
Dr. Now, but like...
903
00:46:35,967 --> 00:46:36,900
[Dr. Now]
All right. All right.
904
00:46:36,967 --> 00:46:38,867
Let's figure out
what's going on with you.
905
00:46:38,867 --> 00:46:41,235
So, tell me
why you gained weight.
906
00:46:41,235 --> 00:46:41,767
So, tell me
why you gained weight.
907
00:46:41,767 --> 00:46:44,800
I gained, well, four pounds
908
00:46:44,867 --> 00:46:47,667
because, basically I'm just...
909
00:46:48,767 --> 00:46:50,100
I gotta try harder.
910
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:53,567
This is something new for me.
911
00:46:53,567 --> 00:46:56,700
I been eating unhealthy
for so long
912
00:46:56,767 --> 00:46:59,767
and like,
now trying to change it,
913
00:46:59,767 --> 00:47:02,266
it's kind of-- it's a lot.
914
00:47:02,266 --> 00:47:03,800
But I know it's worth it.
[voice breaking]
915
00:47:05,100 --> 00:47:06,000
[Dr. Now] Okay.
916
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,567
So what are you trying
to tell me?
917
00:47:07,567 --> 00:47:09,367
You came here last time,
918
00:47:09,367 --> 00:47:11,235
we gave you
exercises to follow
with physical therapy
919
00:47:11,235 --> 00:47:12,266
we gave you
exercises to follow
with physical therapy
920
00:47:12,266 --> 00:47:14,867
to help you
start getting out
of your chair.
921
00:47:14,867 --> 00:47:16,300
And you didn't do that.
922
00:47:16,367 --> 00:47:19,467
And you were supposed to lose
40 pounds over the last month.
923
00:47:19,467 --> 00:47:21,300
But instead you gained weight.
924
00:47:21,367 --> 00:47:23,266
And instead of
waking up to things,
925
00:47:23,266 --> 00:47:27,166
you're deflecting
the situation
by saying you're having pain.
926
00:47:27,166 --> 00:47:32,000
Well, you should have pain
because you are 636 pounds.
927
00:47:32,767 --> 00:47:35,100
Instead of being 170 pounds.
928
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:37,767
And you sit
in this motorized wheelchair.
929
00:47:37,767 --> 00:47:39,300
You don't want to
give that up?
930
00:47:39,367 --> 00:47:41,235
You don't want to
give up your eating habit?
931
00:47:41,235 --> 00:47:42,166
You don't want to
give up your eating habit?
932
00:47:42,166 --> 00:47:44,367
Come on,
you were supposed to
lose weight,
933
00:47:44,367 --> 00:47:45,967
you were supposed to
change everything,
934
00:47:45,967 --> 00:47:48,000
you were supposed to
call up if you
had any questions,
935
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,600
but you didn't
follow the diet.
936
00:47:49,667 --> 00:47:51,500
You keep eating too much
937
00:47:51,567 --> 00:47:53,200
and you won't admit it.
938
00:47:53,266 --> 00:47:55,867
It's been five years
since you tried to get help,
939
00:47:55,867 --> 00:47:58,767
and you're worse off
more than ever now.
940
00:47:58,767 --> 00:48:01,166
Because you're lying so much
to yourself,
941
00:48:01,166 --> 00:48:03,367
you believe that you lie.
942
00:48:03,367 --> 00:48:06,367
You keep repeating
the same lie
doesn't come true.
943
00:48:09,266 --> 00:48:11,235
She expects to continue eating
what she does,
944
00:48:11,235 --> 00:48:12,367
She expects to continue eating
what she does,
945
00:48:12,367 --> 00:48:14,266
and I make her to lose weight.
946
00:48:14,266 --> 00:48:15,600
But that's not gonna happen.
947
00:48:15,667 --> 00:48:17,467
So-- I--
948
00:48:17,467 --> 00:48:20,066
This is a situation
that, uh...
949
00:48:20,066 --> 00:48:24,000
it's all up to her
to wanted to make the changes.
950
00:48:26,166 --> 00:48:28,000
You think I want to come here,
951
00:48:28,066 --> 00:48:30,367
drive out here a long time,
952
00:48:30,367 --> 00:48:32,500
come here
to just get chewed out?
953
00:48:32,567 --> 00:48:34,367
I could have stayed at home
for that.
954
00:48:34,367 --> 00:48:35,667
I-- We're not chewing you out.
955
00:48:35,667 --> 00:48:37,200
-We're giving you reality.
-[Latonya laughs]
956
00:48:37,266 --> 00:48:38,800
-We're telling you--
-[Latonya] Yeah, that--
that is--
957
00:48:38,867 --> 00:48:40,266
that is reality.
958
00:48:40,266 --> 00:48:41,235
I mean, you said...
Just to say...
959
00:48:41,235 --> 00:48:43,166
I mean, you said...
Just to say...
960
00:48:43,166 --> 00:48:45,400
"You know your fat ass
need to lose weight.
961
00:48:45,467 --> 00:48:46,767
You in a wheelchair.
962
00:48:46,767 --> 00:48:48,200
You 37 years old,
963
00:48:48,266 --> 00:48:50,000
and if you keep going
the way you're going,
964
00:48:50,066 --> 00:48:51,667
you're not going to make it."
965
00:48:51,667 --> 00:48:54,100
That's basically
all you had to say.
966
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:56,000
And you know,
I understand it.
967
00:48:56,066 --> 00:48:59,567
I'm not-- I'm not mad
about what you saying,
968
00:48:59,567 --> 00:49:01,967
because it's--
it's right. it's true.
969
00:49:01,967 --> 00:49:05,700
You know, the only thing
that I need someone
to understand is,
970
00:49:05,767 --> 00:49:08,367
it's not as easy
as people think it is.
971
00:49:09,700 --> 00:49:11,235
So it's not going to
happen overnight.
972
00:49:11,235 --> 00:49:12,200
So it's not going to
happen overnight.
973
00:49:13,667 --> 00:49:16,200
I'm not a robot.
974
00:49:16,266 --> 00:49:20,500
Well, uh,
you're convincing yourself
that it's gonna take time. No.
975
00:49:20,567 --> 00:49:25,967
The decision
to make to change your life
is gonna take one decision.
976
00:49:25,967 --> 00:49:28,266
One minute.
To change your life.
977
00:49:28,266 --> 00:49:31,567
But you convinced yourself
that it's not going
to be easy.
978
00:49:31,567 --> 00:49:35,300
Two, four weeks, six weeks,
six months, a year to change.
979
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,066
You don't want me telling you
what you're gonna do?
980
00:49:38,066 --> 00:49:41,200
You're gonna do the same thing
and then come back
making excuses.
981
00:49:41,266 --> 00:49:43,266
-[Latonya] No, sir.
-And you're gonna say
they're water weight.
982
00:49:43,266 --> 00:49:45,567
It was--
I'm constipated.
983
00:49:45,567 --> 00:49:48,367
I didn't go to bathroom
for three days.
984
00:49:48,367 --> 00:49:50,266
Or the floor was crooked.
985
00:49:50,266 --> 00:49:54,400
And-- any of those excuses
that you believe in yourself,
986
00:49:54,467 --> 00:49:56,066
and you keep repeating them.
987
00:49:56,066 --> 00:49:59,767
So the only option
we have left is to
send you to psychotherapy
988
00:49:59,767 --> 00:50:02,867
and see if it can
convince you
to see the reality
989
00:50:02,867 --> 00:50:04,266
before it's too late.
990
00:50:04,266 --> 00:50:06,700
So I'm gonna set that up
for you to go to.
991
00:50:06,767 --> 00:50:09,867
And I'm going to give you
two months to lose 60 pounds.
992
00:50:09,867 --> 00:50:11,235
That is less weight
each month, an easier goal.
993
00:50:11,235 --> 00:50:12,667
That is less weight
each month, an easier goal.
994
00:50:12,667 --> 00:50:14,967
If you do that,
then we can work with you.
995
00:50:14,967 --> 00:50:18,100
If not,
then I don't know
what else we can do for you.
996
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:23,867
All right, so you--
we'll check your legs out,
997
00:50:23,867 --> 00:50:25,767
and make sure
there are no issues.
998
00:50:25,767 --> 00:50:27,967
-Then you can get going.
-[Latonya] Thank you.
999
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:33,867
[door closes]
1000
00:50:33,867 --> 00:50:36,266
He gonna tell you
the same thing I be saying.
1001
00:50:36,266 --> 00:50:38,767
Same, exactly thing
that I be saying.
1002
00:50:38,767 --> 00:50:40,100
Same thing.
1003
00:50:41,867 --> 00:50:43,967
[Dr. Now] I was hoping
after five years,
1004
00:50:43,967 --> 00:50:48,867
Latonya had finally woken up
and was ready to do
what she needed.
1005
00:50:48,867 --> 00:50:52,800
But she doesn't want
to give up her food
and her wheelchair.
1006
00:50:52,867 --> 00:50:56,967
So we'll see if psychotherapy
is able to wake her up.
1007
00:50:56,967 --> 00:51:00,467
If Latonya doesn't turn
her situation around soon.
1008
00:51:00,467 --> 00:51:04,467
it is just a matter of time
before things get
even worse for her.
1009
00:51:04,467 --> 00:51:08,567
And she'll end up
in a situation
that she may not survive.
1010
00:51:13,867 --> 00:51:16,467
[Latonya] I thought I done
better and made the progress.
1011
00:51:16,467 --> 00:51:18,600
So I'm upset with myself
that I didn't.
1012
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,967
And I know how important it is
to do this.
1013
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:31,767
[Latonya grunts]
1014
00:51:33,667 --> 00:51:38,166
If I choose life,
then there's only
one path to take.
1015
00:51:38,166 --> 00:51:40,600
So that's what I'm gonna do
because I have no choice.
1016
00:51:43,467 --> 00:51:44,300
[engine starts]
1017
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,100
[instrumental music playing]
1018
00:52:03,467 --> 00:52:05,367
-[Latonya] Try, baby.
-[Daune] You don't know.
1019
00:52:05,367 --> 00:52:06,967
-[Latonya shouts]
-[Daune] There you go.
1020
00:52:06,967 --> 00:52:08,634
[Latonya chuckles]
1021
00:52:08,634 --> 00:52:12,166
[Latonya] Today I'm headed
to this therapist
Dr. Now wants me to meet.
1022
00:52:12,166 --> 00:52:14,767
I'm not sure
if this is gonna help
at all.
1023
00:52:14,767 --> 00:52:18,266
But I think Dr. Now
just want me
jumping through hoops.
1024
00:52:18,266 --> 00:52:20,023
So I'll do it
if it satisfies Dr. Now.
1025
00:52:20,023 --> 00:52:20,867
So I'll do it
if it satisfies Dr. Now.
1026
00:52:22,667 --> 00:52:25,166
-[Daune] Come on.
-[Latonya grunts]
1027
00:52:27,066 --> 00:52:29,700
[Latonya breathing heavily]
1028
00:52:30,667 --> 00:52:31,767
[Daune] There you go.
1029
00:52:31,767 --> 00:52:32,667
[Latonya] Oh.
1030
00:52:34,266 --> 00:52:36,166
[Daune] That's good exercise.
1031
00:52:36,166 --> 00:52:37,767
[Latonya laughs]
1032
00:52:37,767 --> 00:52:39,700
That was good,
you need to do that
more often.
1033
00:52:41,100 --> 00:52:42,367
Latonya?
1034
00:52:42,367 --> 00:52:44,100
I'm Dr. Paradise. You ready?
1035
00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:45,100
[Latonya] Yeah.
1036
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:46,500
[groans] Pull me up, baby.
1037
00:52:49,166 --> 00:52:50,023
Okay.
1038
00:52:50,023 --> 00:52:50,467
Okay.
1039
00:52:50,467 --> 00:52:53,300
Okay, go.
Walk, walk, walk.
1040
00:52:53,367 --> 00:52:55,867
You got-- there's a couch
right there.
1041
00:52:55,867 --> 00:52:57,767
-Just a couple more steps.
-[Latonya wheezing] All right.
1042
00:52:57,767 --> 00:52:59,600
I got-- I got it. Go.
1043
00:53:00,467 --> 00:53:01,867
-Go. [laughs]
-[Daune] Come on.
1044
00:53:01,867 --> 00:53:03,767
-[Latonya laughs] Go!
-[Paradise] Almost there.
1045
00:53:03,767 --> 00:53:04,800
[Latonya chuckles]
1046
00:53:04,867 --> 00:53:06,567
Oh! Let me go, let me go,
let me go.
1047
00:53:07,100 --> 00:53:09,166
-Oh!
-[Daune] Yeah?
1048
00:53:09,166 --> 00:53:10,266
[Latonya clears throat]
Perfect.
1049
00:53:10,567 --> 00:53:11,500
Good.
1050
00:53:11,567 --> 00:53:12,667
Thank you for your help.
1051
00:53:12,667 --> 00:53:13,767
-[Latonya] Thank you, babe.
-[Daune] Don't worry.
1052
00:53:14,367 --> 00:53:15,767
[chuckles] Thank you.
1053
00:53:15,767 --> 00:53:16,867
-[Paradise] Thank you.
-[Daune] All right.
1054
00:53:18,667 --> 00:53:19,567
-[Latonya clears throat]
-[door closes]
1055
00:53:19,567 --> 00:53:20,023
That your boyfriend?
1056
00:53:20,023 --> 00:53:20,900
That your boyfriend?
1057
00:53:20,967 --> 00:53:22,867
-My fiance.
-Your fiance?
What's his name?
1058
00:53:22,867 --> 00:53:25,500
-Daune.
-I'm glad Daune was here.
1059
00:53:25,567 --> 00:53:27,200
I am too!
[laughs]
1060
00:53:27,266 --> 00:53:29,667
-Kind of a trip up the stairs?
-Yeah.
1061
00:53:29,667 --> 00:53:31,567
-I'm proud of you.
-Thank you.
1062
00:53:31,567 --> 00:53:34,400
That's terrific,
I'm really glad you--
you made it to the office.
1063
00:53:34,467 --> 00:53:37,467
And-- and why don't you start
by telling me a little bit
about yourself?
1064
00:53:38,100 --> 00:53:39,300
Um...
1065
00:53:39,367 --> 00:53:41,000
Let me see,
where do I start from?
1066
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,000
The obesity began, um,
1067
00:53:45,967 --> 00:53:47,266
when I was 12 years old.
1068
00:53:47,266 --> 00:53:50,023
I lost my mom, um,
at the age of 12.
1069
00:53:50,023 --> 00:53:50,200
I lost my mom, um,
at the age of 12.
1070
00:53:50,266 --> 00:53:51,800
-Um, so I stayed with my--
-What did--
1071
00:53:51,867 --> 00:53:53,066
How did your mom pass?
1072
00:53:53,066 --> 00:53:54,266
She had a heart attack.
1073
00:53:54,567 --> 00:53:55,667
Okay.
1074
00:53:55,667 --> 00:53:59,266
[inhales] After my mom died,
I went with my sister,
1075
00:53:59,266 --> 00:54:02,200
because my dad moved in
with a woman.
1076
00:54:02,266 --> 00:54:04,467
The woman
that he moved in with?
1077
00:54:04,467 --> 00:54:06,967
Her and my mom
was friends.
1078
00:54:06,967 --> 00:54:08,767
-Like--
-Okay, so you disapproved.
1079
00:54:08,767 --> 00:54:10,100
Yeah, I did.
1080
00:54:10,100 --> 00:54:11,767
Were you--
were you mad at your dad?
1081
00:54:12,567 --> 00:54:14,166
Yeah, I was mad.
1082
00:54:14,166 --> 00:54:17,900
I'm never gonna forget it
but I forgave him for it.
1083
00:54:17,967 --> 00:54:20,023
But, I still have...
1084
00:54:20,023 --> 00:54:20,767
But, I still have...
1085
00:54:20,767 --> 00:54:24,266
that little girl
that's still deep down
in there that's...
1086
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:27,867
still angry.
1087
00:54:27,867 --> 00:54:30,166
Yeah. And w--
what's her question?
1088
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,767
Her question is,
1089
00:54:33,266 --> 00:54:34,900
why was it so easy
1090
00:54:35,667 --> 00:54:37,100
to walk away?
1091
00:54:37,166 --> 00:54:39,300
Like, what did I do?
1092
00:54:39,967 --> 00:54:41,467
I was only a child.
1093
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:43,500
Yeah.
1094
00:54:43,500 --> 00:54:45,800
It seems like
maybe there's still
something with your dad
1095
00:54:45,867 --> 00:54:47,100
that you're working out.
1096
00:54:47,100 --> 00:54:49,500
I want you
to journal a little bit
about your feelings.
1097
00:54:49,567 --> 00:54:50,023
Get them straight
in your own head
1098
00:54:50,023 --> 00:54:51,667
Get them straight
in your own head
1099
00:54:51,667 --> 00:54:53,367
and then share it
with somebody.
1100
00:54:53,367 --> 00:54:54,367
Yeah, exactly.
1101
00:54:54,367 --> 00:54:56,300
Journaling your feelings
can be empowering
1102
00:54:56,367 --> 00:55:00,066
and lead you away from
negative coping strategies
like over-eating.
1103
00:55:00,467 --> 00:55:01,300
Yeah.
1104
00:55:02,467 --> 00:55:04,367
It's so good to talk to you.
1105
00:55:04,367 --> 00:55:06,867
-You too.
-I-- I'm really glad
you made it in.
1106
00:55:06,867 --> 00:55:08,967
I'm feeling positive
about your future.
1107
00:55:08,967 --> 00:55:10,767
-Likewise, thank you.
-Okay.
1108
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:12,767
I'll walk you out, okay?
1109
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:14,166
Awesome.
1110
00:55:14,166 --> 00:55:16,667
-You need Daune?
-Daune.
1111
00:55:16,667 --> 00:55:18,467
-[Paradise] Daune,
are you out here, man?
-[Daune] Yeah.
1112
00:55:18,467 --> 00:55:20,023
[Paradise] Thank you
for being patient.
Come on in.
1113
00:55:20,023 --> 00:55:20,367
[Paradise] Thank you
for being patient.
Come on in.
1114
00:55:20,367 --> 00:55:21,233
[Latonya exhales]
1115
00:55:23,367 --> 00:55:24,800
-[Latonya] You ready?
-[Daune] Mmm.
1116
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,467
[Latonya] It's gonna be hard.
You gonna have to use
both hands.
1117
00:55:27,166 --> 00:55:28,400
[Latonya laughs]
1118
00:55:28,867 --> 00:55:29,667
Oh!
1119
00:55:30,166 --> 00:55:31,000
Ow!
1120
00:55:32,667 --> 00:55:35,166
Okay, help me up.
1121
00:55:35,166 --> 00:55:38,166
[Paradise] I think Latonya
is a smiling depressive
1122
00:55:38,166 --> 00:55:42,667
in that she puts on
a good face for the world.
1123
00:55:42,667 --> 00:55:45,100
I don't think
she's allowed herself
1124
00:55:45,166 --> 00:55:48,200
to really go to the dark stuff
in her own past
1125
00:55:48,266 --> 00:55:50,023
for the fear that
she'll let somebody down or,
1126
00:55:50,023 --> 00:55:50,367
for the fear that
she'll let somebody down or,
1127
00:55:50,367 --> 00:55:53,767
or maybe that
there's nobody there
to help her with it.
1128
00:55:53,767 --> 00:55:56,567
-And she really needs
to face herself.
-[Latonya groans]
1129
00:55:56,567 --> 00:55:58,867
[Latonya breathing heavily]
1130
00:55:58,867 --> 00:55:59,967
[Latonya] I don't know
about that.
1131
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,133
[indistinct conversation]
1132
00:56:04,133 --> 00:56:06,567
But I think that might've
been a big waste
of time and energy.
1133
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,300
[instrumental music playing]
1134
00:56:14,767 --> 00:56:18,367
[Latonya] I been back
from Houston
a little over a week.
1135
00:56:18,367 --> 00:56:20,023
And I think I been doing good
cutting back
on my food intake
1136
00:56:20,023 --> 00:56:21,767
And I think I been doing good
cutting back
on my food intake
1137
00:56:21,767 --> 00:56:24,367
and doing my exercises.
1138
00:56:24,367 --> 00:56:27,667
It's been hard,
but I know I'm doing good
because of how hard it's been.
1139
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:34,667
If it wasn't hard,
then I'd know if I was
doing something wrong.
1140
00:56:34,667 --> 00:56:38,600
Today I'm gonna try to do
what Dr. Paradise asked me
to do for homework,
1141
00:56:38,667 --> 00:56:40,600
and I'm gonna do
some journaling.
1142
00:56:40,667 --> 00:56:44,767
I think I'm gonna practice
expressing my feelings,
like he wants me to.
1143
00:57:00,767 --> 00:57:02,600
Well, good morning, beautiful.
1144
00:57:02,667 --> 00:57:04,667
-Well, good morning.
-How you doing?
1145
00:57:04,667 --> 00:57:06,467
-I'm good, how you doing?
-I'm just...
1146
00:57:07,367 --> 00:57:10,767
trying to move forward and...
1147
00:57:10,767 --> 00:57:13,900
After having to meet
with Dr. Paradise, like...
1148
00:57:13,967 --> 00:57:18,000
he gave me some homework
to, kinda,
write down things
1149
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,023
that I'm going through
and stuff like that.
1150
00:57:20,023 --> 00:57:20,600
that I'm going through
and stuff like that.
1151
00:57:20,667 --> 00:57:22,467
-Mmm-hmm.
-But, um...
1152
00:57:22,467 --> 00:57:25,400
I was angry
for so long, like...
1153
00:57:25,467 --> 00:57:29,000
-A girl,
her first love is her father.
-Mmm-hmm.
1154
00:57:29,066 --> 00:57:30,533
-So--
-It's true.
1155
00:57:30,533 --> 00:57:34,266
When her father don't show her
the love and affection
that she need,
1156
00:57:34,266 --> 00:57:37,100
-she search for it
other places.
-That's true.
1157
00:57:37,166 --> 00:57:41,000
-Mmm-hmm.
-And food became
my comfort zone, so.
1158
00:57:41,066 --> 00:57:43,200
You wake up
and these are
the results, like.
1159
00:57:43,266 --> 00:57:46,000
It's gonna be a challenge,
it's not gonna be easy.
1160
00:57:46,066 --> 00:57:47,867
-But you can do it.
-I know it's gonna be
worth it!
1161
00:57:47,867 --> 00:57:49,066
-Yeah, that's right.
-[Latonya laughs]
1162
00:57:49,066 --> 00:57:50,023
-But you can do it.
-Yeah.
1163
00:57:50,023 --> 00:57:51,166
-But you can do it.
-Yeah.
1164
00:57:51,166 --> 00:57:52,867
-Give me love, give me love.
-[caretaker chuckles]
1165
00:57:52,867 --> 00:57:55,200
-'Cause I know you got to go.
-Aww.
1166
00:57:56,900 --> 00:57:59,700
-[Virgie] You can do it,
you can do it.
-Thank you.
1167
00:57:59,767 --> 00:58:01,200
[Virgie] All right-y,
see you later.
1168
00:58:01,767 --> 00:58:02,734
Bye.
1169
00:58:04,567 --> 00:58:06,567
I still got to do better
for Dr. Now.
1170
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,367
And I only have
a couple months
to prove to him
1171
00:58:10,367 --> 00:58:12,600
that I deserve surgery
when I go back to see him.
1172
00:58:16,567 --> 00:58:19,000
This time,
I intend to do a lot better.
1173
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,023
I can't lose this chance.
1174
00:58:20,023 --> 00:58:20,600
I can't lose this chance.
1175
00:58:21,667 --> 00:58:23,667
There's too many people
counting on me.
1176
00:58:25,467 --> 00:58:28,000
My arms are short.
[bleep]
1177
00:58:31,367 --> 00:58:34,400
[softly]
One, two, three, four,
1178
00:58:34,467 --> 00:58:39,300
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16...
1179
00:58:39,367 --> 00:58:41,166
I might not
always believe in myself,
1180
00:58:41,166 --> 00:58:42,767
but I do believe
I can do this.
1181
00:58:43,767 --> 00:58:45,166
And I know it's now or never.
1182
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,000
Oh, I feel it.
1183
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:56,500
[soft music playing]
1184
00:59:02,767 --> 00:59:07,166
My whole body hurts.
I drove almost six hours.
1185
00:59:07,166 --> 00:59:10,900
Driving them hours
and I'm still driving.
1186
00:59:10,967 --> 00:59:13,300
-Are you sure we should be--
-All the way here,
I hope he'll be there.
1187
00:59:13,367 --> 00:59:15,266
-[Latonya groans]
-Mmm-hmm.
1188
00:59:15,266 --> 00:59:16,867
Long as you
can see somebody.
1189
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,567
[Dr. Now] Daune called
about an hour ago
1190
00:59:29,567 --> 00:59:33,066
to tell me that Latonya
has bad leg pain again.
1191
00:59:33,066 --> 00:59:35,867
Last time she came down,
she complained about that.
1192
00:59:35,867 --> 00:59:39,567
And we checked her out
and nothing severe
was wrong with her.
1193
00:59:39,567 --> 00:59:42,667
This time she says
the pain is even worse,
1194
00:59:42,667 --> 00:59:45,567
to the point that she thinks
she might pass out.
1195
00:59:45,567 --> 00:59:49,200
So I told her
to come to the hospital
so we check her out.
1196
00:59:51,867 --> 00:59:53,000
[Latonya] Hello,
how you doing?
1197
00:59:54,066 --> 00:59:55,900
-I--
-I'm tired, I'm hurting.
1198
00:59:55,967 --> 00:59:57,467
-Come in.
-I'm telling you.
1199
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,567
Okay, come on.
1200
01:00:00,567 --> 01:00:03,500
[Dr. Now] As far
as I can tell, that she's
having a lot of pain
1201
01:00:03,567 --> 01:00:05,400
and shortness of breath
1202
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,500
and that she thinks that--
that her legs are hurting
because lymphedema is swollen.
1203
01:00:09,567 --> 01:00:12,667
But looking at her
just from the past,
1204
01:00:12,667 --> 01:00:15,867
we cannot tell if there's
anything seriously wrong
with her.
1205
01:00:15,867 --> 01:00:19,100
So we're gonna bring her
in the hospital
and see what's going on.
1206
01:00:20,467 --> 01:00:21,266
[Latonya groans]
1207
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:23,029
-I can do it.
-[nurse 2] Okay.
1208
01:00:23,029 --> 01:00:23,200
-I can do it.
-[nurse 2] Okay.
1209
01:00:26,567 --> 01:00:27,467
[Latonya exhales]
1210
01:00:29,266 --> 01:00:31,100
-[Latonya] What I did.
-[nurse 2] Huh?
1211
01:00:37,967 --> 01:00:39,467
Having a witness
ain't helping.
1212
01:00:43,867 --> 01:00:44,667
[groaning]
1213
01:00:46,467 --> 01:00:48,200
[exhales]
1214
01:00:48,266 --> 01:00:50,967
You're not having
chest pain or anything, huh?
1215
01:00:50,967 --> 01:00:52,567
-[exhales]
-Shortness of breath?
1216
01:00:53,667 --> 01:00:55,367
Sure then, okay.
1217
01:00:55,367 --> 01:00:58,567
We'll go get the monitor
and get some bloodwork done
1218
01:00:58,567 --> 01:01:00,767
and we're gonna see
what's going on
with you, okay?
1219
01:01:00,767 --> 01:01:02,300
Okay.
1220
01:01:02,367 --> 01:01:06,200
I don't doubt she has some
swelling and discomfort
in her legs and feet.
1221
01:01:06,266 --> 01:01:10,266
But that is because
she is probably
over 600 pounds.
1222
01:01:10,266 --> 01:01:12,800
And that is taking a toll
on her body.
1223
01:01:13,667 --> 01:01:14,900
[Latonya] You see my legs?
1224
01:01:20,467 --> 01:01:21,367
They hurt.
1225
01:01:21,367 --> 01:01:23,000
My ankles are red and pink,
1226
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:24,834
purple.
1227
01:01:30,266 --> 01:01:32,467
[Dr. Now] The lymphedema
masses, uh,
1228
01:01:32,467 --> 01:01:34,800
they're pretty much
the same, no?
1229
01:01:34,867 --> 01:01:38,166
[Latonya] Mmm.
It's a little worser now.
1230
01:01:38,166 --> 01:01:40,467
[Dr. Now] I think the issue
with her leg pain is
1231
01:01:40,467 --> 01:01:43,567
more about deflecting again
from the fact
1232
01:01:43,567 --> 01:01:45,867
she hasn't made
the progress she needs.
1233
01:01:45,867 --> 01:01:47,333
And she knows that.
1234
01:01:47,333 --> 01:01:51,700
And so she's using
other issues to try to
distract from that again.
1235
01:01:51,767 --> 01:01:53,029
To try to avoid
facing the situation.
1236
01:01:53,029 --> 01:01:54,567
To try to avoid
facing the situation.
1237
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:58,166
But with the state
of her body,
1238
01:01:58,166 --> 01:02:00,367
and the strain
she still has on it,
1239
01:02:00,367 --> 01:02:03,700
there could be
other issues we need
to address first.
1240
01:02:03,767 --> 01:02:06,000
So we ran some tests
and checked her out
1241
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,967
to see what state
her body is in.
1242
01:02:08,967 --> 01:02:11,066
And we will also
get her weight
1243
01:02:11,066 --> 01:02:15,367
and see if she has made
any progress over
the last few months.
1244
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:20,367
[Latonya clears throat]
1245
01:02:25,667 --> 01:02:28,667
-[Dr. Now] I just think
your wife should diet.
-[Daune] Mmm. She starving.
1246
01:02:28,667 --> 01:02:31,166
[Daune] She be starving.
She be doing it. But...
1247
01:02:33,467 --> 01:02:35,567
[Dr. Now] But not
as much, huh?
1248
01:02:35,567 --> 01:02:37,900
-But she can't keep up
with it, huh?
-Mmm.
1249
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,467
[Dr. Now] We have run
a number of tests on Latonya,
1250
01:02:42,467 --> 01:02:44,700
and we're still in the process
of doing that.
1251
01:02:44,767 --> 01:02:48,066
But so far, there is nothing
concerning her legs.
1252
01:02:48,066 --> 01:02:49,600
She doesn't have a blood clot.
1253
01:02:49,667 --> 01:02:51,867
She said
that was her main concern,
1254
01:02:51,867 --> 01:02:53,029
but she doesn't have
any issues like that.
1255
01:02:53,029 --> 01:02:54,667
but she doesn't have
any issues like that.
1256
01:02:54,667 --> 01:02:57,100
I am concerned
about her heart.
1257
01:02:57,166 --> 01:02:59,367
Some of the tests are
a little concerning
1258
01:02:59,367 --> 01:03:00,900
and I want to address that.
1259
01:03:00,967 --> 01:03:02,367
Some of the tests show that
1260
01:03:02,367 --> 01:03:05,400
her heart may be struggling
a great deal right now.
1261
01:03:06,266 --> 01:03:07,300
[Latonya] Still in pain.
1262
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,266
I'm aggravated, I'm hurtin',
1263
01:03:10,266 --> 01:03:12,100
and I can't breathe in here.
1264
01:03:12,166 --> 01:03:15,367
[Dr. Now] We got her weight
and she's up to 642.
1265
01:03:15,367 --> 01:03:17,567
So she has not made
any progress
1266
01:03:17,567 --> 01:03:19,967
and continued
gaining a little.
1267
01:03:19,967 --> 01:03:23,029
So I'm concerned
about the strain
she has on her body
1268
01:03:23,029 --> 01:03:23,600
So I'm concerned
about the strain
she has on her body
1269
01:03:23,667 --> 01:03:26,500
and how close she may be
to it giving out.
1270
01:03:26,567 --> 01:03:28,567
So I'm gonna keep her here
for a little bit
1271
01:03:28,567 --> 01:03:31,967
and finish running
some more tests on her heart.
1272
01:03:31,967 --> 01:03:34,667
[Latonya] I lost seven pounds
when I was in hospital.
1273
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:36,700
Yeah, but it might be that.
1274
01:03:38,166 --> 01:03:39,467
-It might be that, you know?
-[Latonya] Can we just--
1275
01:03:39,467 --> 01:03:40,767
[Latonya] What about
if we just--
1276
01:03:40,767 --> 01:03:42,667
-[Daune] hospital goosebumps.
-[Dr. Now] See that thing?
1277
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,066
Mmm-hmm.
1278
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,700
And you see the last one?
1279
01:03:49,500 --> 01:03:50,367
Yeah?
1280
01:03:51,367 --> 01:03:53,029
And this is five years.
1281
01:03:53,029 --> 01:03:53,467
And this is five years.
1282
01:03:55,367 --> 01:03:59,000
But everything looks like
it's doing good.
1283
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,000
But I'm gonna keep you
in hospital
for a couple of weeks
1284
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,000
because your heart
may be struggling
1285
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,767
a little more than
I'm comfortable with
to send you home.
1286
01:04:06,767 --> 01:04:09,467
So I'm gonna run
some more tests on you.
1287
01:04:09,467 --> 01:04:13,667
And I'm gonna get
the cardiologist
to come and look at you
1288
01:04:13,667 --> 01:04:15,500
-and see what your
heart is doing.
-Mmm.
1289
01:04:15,567 --> 01:04:19,000
-And see what we can do
with you, okay?
-Okay.
1290
01:04:19,066 --> 01:04:22,467
I think most of your problem
is your weight, okay?
1291
01:04:22,467 --> 01:04:23,029
So the most important thing
for you here is to,
1292
01:04:23,029 --> 01:04:26,100
So the most important thing
for you here is to,
1293
01:04:26,100 --> 01:04:28,100
you need to lose
some weight, okay?
1294
01:04:28,166 --> 01:04:29,600
I'm trying.
1295
01:04:29,667 --> 01:04:31,166
You keep saying you're trying
1296
01:04:31,166 --> 01:04:32,800
but you're running
out of time.
1297
01:04:33,667 --> 01:04:35,266
-Okay?
-Yes, sir.
1298
01:04:35,266 --> 01:04:37,500
You don't seem to
fully get that.
1299
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:40,700
If you keep
all this weight on you
for much longer,
1300
01:04:40,767 --> 01:04:43,467
you know, your body
will not tolerate that
for too long.
1301
01:04:43,467 --> 01:04:45,266
Your body
is going to give out.
1302
01:04:45,266 --> 01:04:47,567
So you have to start
losing weight now
1303
01:04:47,567 --> 01:04:50,367
before that happens
and it's too late for you.
1304
01:04:50,367 --> 01:04:52,867
Why you just gonna keep me
in the hospital?
1305
01:04:52,867 --> 01:04:53,029
For like, two weeks
to just--
1306
01:04:53,029 --> 01:04:55,266
For like, two weeks
to just--
1307
01:04:55,266 --> 01:04:57,500
get the weight down
so I can--
1308
01:04:57,567 --> 01:05:00,166
Look, if--
that's not how it works.
1309
01:05:00,166 --> 01:05:02,400
I told you,
you have to do the hard work.
1310
01:05:02,467 --> 01:05:07,000
Then if we do that
then you go home,
you gain all the weight back.
1311
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,066
First, we need to make sure
you're gonna survive
the operation.
1312
01:05:10,066 --> 01:05:12,900
If here's no way
to put you to sleep,
you won't survive.
1313
01:05:12,967 --> 01:05:15,400
And we can't breathe for you
because you know,
1314
01:05:15,467 --> 01:05:16,767
we have to push
the air in there,
1315
01:05:17,567 --> 01:05:18,767
and your chest is so heavy...
1316
01:05:19,667 --> 01:05:22,200
the lung won't tolerate
the pressure.
1317
01:05:22,500 --> 01:05:23,029
Yeah.
1318
01:05:23,029 --> 01:05:24,100
Yeah.
1319
01:05:24,100 --> 01:05:27,467
[Dr. Now] So you're gonna have
to get to a much better place
with your health
1320
01:05:27,467 --> 01:05:29,000
before you're ready for that.
1321
01:05:29,066 --> 01:05:30,000
And to do that
1322
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:31,400
you're gonna have to lose
a lot of weight.
1323
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:32,867
Okay.
1324
01:05:32,867 --> 01:05:34,367
If we do all that for you,
1325
01:05:34,367 --> 01:05:36,367
because you won't do it
for yourself,
1326
01:05:36,367 --> 01:05:38,166
then surgery won't help you.
1327
01:05:40,867 --> 01:05:42,600
That's where you come in.
1328
01:05:42,667 --> 01:05:44,667
You're the man with the plan.
1329
01:05:45,767 --> 01:05:47,367
Well, we got a plan,
1330
01:05:47,367 --> 01:05:50,066
but you have to
comply with the plan.
1331
01:05:50,066 --> 01:05:51,166
I know.
1332
01:05:51,166 --> 01:05:52,600
And that's what you need
1333
01:05:52,667 --> 01:05:53,029
to work on harder.
1334
01:05:53,029 --> 01:05:54,100
to work on harder.
1335
01:05:54,166 --> 01:05:55,600
I'm a move in
the house with you,
1336
01:05:55,667 --> 01:05:57,567
so your chef can cook for me.
1337
01:05:57,567 --> 01:05:58,967
[Dr. Now] I am my own chef,
1338
01:05:58,967 --> 01:06:00,600
you have to be own chef.
1339
01:06:00,667 --> 01:06:02,900
So you're gonna have to
do your best.
1340
01:06:02,967 --> 01:06:05,266
Well, I have been
trying for a long time.
1341
01:06:05,266 --> 01:06:06,567
It's been five years,
1342
01:06:06,567 --> 01:06:08,400
it's been a long time.
1343
01:06:08,467 --> 01:06:09,700
-[Dr. Now] Yeah, but...
-It's time now.
1344
01:06:09,767 --> 01:06:11,767
but it is all up to you.
1345
01:06:11,767 --> 01:06:13,467
You're gonna have to make
those changes.
1346
01:06:17,667 --> 01:06:19,100
I'm working on it.
1347
01:06:19,166 --> 01:06:21,400
All right. We'll get some more
tests done to you,
1348
01:06:21,467 --> 01:06:23,029
so then start your own
controlled diet,
1349
01:06:23,029 --> 01:06:23,767
so then start your own
controlled diet,
1350
01:06:23,767 --> 01:06:26,300
then after you'll start
to get some weight loss,
1351
01:06:26,367 --> 01:06:27,967
before you go home, okay?
1352
01:06:28,266 --> 01:06:29,100
Okay.
1353
01:06:29,767 --> 01:06:30,867
[Dr. Now] I was hoping,
1354
01:06:30,867 --> 01:06:33,767
starting psychotherapy
was gonna help start
1355
01:06:33,767 --> 01:06:35,367
to wake Latonya up,
1356
01:06:35,367 --> 01:06:36,867
but that didn't happen.
1357
01:06:36,867 --> 01:06:39,367
She didn't make any progress
with her weight,
1358
01:06:39,367 --> 01:06:41,166
or with her physical therapy,
1359
01:06:41,166 --> 01:06:42,500
to get of her chair.
1360
01:06:43,367 --> 01:06:44,200
Ow.
1361
01:06:44,767 --> 01:06:45,700
So right now,
1362
01:06:45,700 --> 01:06:47,867
we will try
to get her weight down some,
1363
01:06:47,867 --> 01:06:50,767
to help prevent
a serious situation with her,
1364
01:06:50,767 --> 01:06:52,367
to where her body gives out,
1365
01:06:52,367 --> 01:06:53,029
and she has
a medical emergency
1366
01:06:53,029 --> 01:06:54,600
and she has
a medical emergency
1367
01:06:54,667 --> 01:06:56,066
that she won't survive.
1368
01:06:56,066 --> 01:06:57,066
But after that,
1369
01:06:57,066 --> 01:06:58,900
it's all gonna be
up to her again.
1370
01:06:59,767 --> 01:07:01,000
My hope is that,
1371
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,200
if we help
give her some momentum,
1372
01:07:03,266 --> 01:07:04,867
going in
the right direction,
1373
01:07:04,867 --> 01:07:08,200
that may help her
to adjust
doing what she needs.
1374
01:07:08,266 --> 01:07:10,700
But if not,
then we are getting close
1375
01:07:10,767 --> 01:07:12,600
to being out of options
with Latonya.
1376
01:07:26,667 --> 01:07:29,400
[Dr. Now] We have had Latonya
here in the hospital
1377
01:07:29,467 --> 01:07:31,300
for the last couple of weeks.
1378
01:07:31,367 --> 01:07:32,500
She came to the hospital
1379
01:07:32,567 --> 01:07:35,000
because she was having
problems with her heart.
1380
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,367
While she was here,
we have had her
on a controlled diet
1381
01:07:38,367 --> 01:07:39,600
to get her weight down.
1382
01:07:39,667 --> 01:07:41,767
But she hasn't been
too co-operative.
1383
01:07:41,767 --> 01:07:44,600
Most days, she tells PTE
she's too tired,
1384
01:07:44,667 --> 01:07:46,500
or her body hurts too much
1385
01:07:46,567 --> 01:07:47,366
to get out of the bed.
1386
01:07:47,366 --> 01:07:47,867
to get out of the bed.
1387
01:07:47,867 --> 01:07:49,600
So she tries
to avoid that.
1388
01:07:49,667 --> 01:07:52,367
And we have had a dietitian
work with her,
1389
01:07:52,367 --> 01:07:53,967
to understand proper diet,
1390
01:07:53,967 --> 01:07:55,500
but she argued with them,
1391
01:07:55,567 --> 01:07:58,266
and disagreed with
the food selection here
1392
01:07:58,266 --> 01:07:59,367
at the hospital.
1393
01:07:59,367 --> 01:08:02,000
So it hasn't been easy
with her.
1394
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,166
[Dr. Now] But we have
been able to get her
to loose 48 pounds
1395
01:08:05,166 --> 01:08:06,367
in just two weeks,
1396
01:08:06,367 --> 01:08:10,467
so her weight is down
from 642 to 594.
1397
01:08:10,467 --> 01:08:13,000
So with that
on top of some medication,
1398
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,600
we were able to get her heart
1399
01:08:14,667 --> 01:08:17,366
out of the critical place
it was when she arrived.
1400
01:08:17,366 --> 01:08:17,867
out of the critical place
it was when she arrived.
1401
01:08:17,867 --> 01:08:21,867
But her whole body
is still very close to
a breaking point,
1402
01:08:21,867 --> 01:08:23,567
and if she doesn't continue
1403
01:08:23,567 --> 01:08:25,100
to loose a lot more weight,
1404
01:08:25,166 --> 01:08:28,867
then her situation
can get critical again
very fast.
1405
01:08:28,867 --> 01:08:29,767
[knock on door]
1406
01:08:30,567 --> 01:08:31,467
[Latonya] Come in.
1407
01:08:34,467 --> 01:08:35,767
Hey, Latonya.
1408
01:08:35,767 --> 01:08:37,567
Hey, Dr. Now,
how are you doing?
1409
01:08:37,567 --> 01:08:39,000
How you doing today?
1410
01:08:39,066 --> 01:08:39,867
[Latonya] I'm okay.
1411
01:08:40,867 --> 01:08:41,834
All right, um,
1412
01:08:41,867 --> 01:08:43,867
did the physical therapy
come work with you?
1413
01:08:43,867 --> 01:08:44,867
Yes, sir.
1414
01:08:44,867 --> 01:08:46,467
The dietitian come
talk to you?
1415
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:47,366
Yes, sir.
1416
01:08:47,366 --> 01:08:48,100
Yes, sir.
1417
01:08:48,166 --> 01:08:50,467
[Latonya] Can you talk to her
about the food
1418
01:08:50,467 --> 01:08:52,467
that they've been sending
in here?
1419
01:08:52,467 --> 01:08:55,100
Well, I don't know why
you don't like the food
1420
01:08:55,166 --> 01:08:57,667
that everybody else eats
in the world.
1421
01:08:57,667 --> 01:08:59,266
Show me
what they brought you?
1422
01:08:59,967 --> 01:09:01,900
This... I didn't touch it.
1423
01:09:01,967 --> 01:09:03,166
-Ow.
-[Dr. Now] Well, that's good.
1424
01:09:03,166 --> 01:09:05,000
-Good lunch.
-I don't eat that.
1425
01:09:05,467 --> 01:09:06,467
I don't eat beans,
1426
01:09:06,467 --> 01:09:08,600
and I don't even know
what that is?
1427
01:09:08,667 --> 01:09:10,567
And this look like dog food.
1428
01:09:10,567 --> 01:09:11,900
[Dr. Now] You don't like meat?
1429
01:09:11,967 --> 01:09:13,767
I don't eat stuff like this.
1430
01:09:13,767 --> 01:09:16,467
-That's good nutrition,
they're good protein, right?
-Like bean--
1431
01:09:16,467 --> 01:09:17,366
I don't eat beans at all.
1432
01:09:17,366 --> 01:09:18,367
I don't eat beans at all.
1433
01:09:18,367 --> 01:09:20,266
But how about the meat?
1434
01:09:20,266 --> 01:09:22,066
I don't eat that kind of meat.
1435
01:09:22,066 --> 01:09:24,700
I haven't really ate anything
since I've been here.
1436
01:09:24,767 --> 01:09:26,066
You're not gonna
fade away.
1437
01:09:27,066 --> 01:09:27,967
You're gonna be fine.
1438
01:09:29,100 --> 01:09:30,900
I still have to eat something.
1439
01:09:30,967 --> 01:09:32,266
No.
1440
01:09:32,266 --> 01:09:34,400
You have eaten the food
that belonged to
the next four years,
1441
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,066
ahead of time.
1442
01:09:36,066 --> 01:09:38,100
So, if you don't eat,
you're gonna be all right.
1443
01:09:38,567 --> 01:09:39,500
At your weight,
1444
01:09:39,567 --> 01:09:41,567
the body's got the reserve
1445
01:09:41,567 --> 01:09:43,567
that you don't eat anything
for a week or two,
1446
01:09:43,567 --> 01:09:45,600
there's not anything
gonna happen.
1447
01:09:46,266 --> 01:09:47,366
But, like, in a hospital,
1448
01:09:47,366 --> 01:09:49,467
But, like, in a hospital,
1449
01:09:49,467 --> 01:09:51,400
when taking medication,
1450
01:09:51,467 --> 01:09:54,467
and having to take
different medicines,
1451
01:09:54,467 --> 01:09:57,467
you have to have food
in your system
1452
01:09:57,467 --> 01:10:00,100
to take the medicine,
not to be nauseated.
1453
01:10:00,100 --> 01:10:03,467
But the dog food that
they give me here is not--
1454
01:10:03,467 --> 01:10:05,066
I don't eat stuff like that.
1455
01:10:05,066 --> 01:10:07,467
And that's not dog food,
that's very good food.
1456
01:10:07,467 --> 01:10:08,867
Well, I don't-- Well...
1457
01:10:08,867 --> 01:10:10,266
-let me rephrase that.
-[Dr. Now] What? You gotta...
1458
01:10:10,266 --> 01:10:12,767
you gotta learn to eat
the high protein diet.
1459
01:10:12,767 --> 01:10:15,266
And it is tasty,
and it's high-protein.
1460
01:10:15,266 --> 01:10:17,366
I've been in this
very uncomfortable bed,
1461
01:10:17,366 --> 01:10:18,100
I've been in this
very uncomfortable bed,
1462
01:10:18,900 --> 01:10:21,667
it's been cold
in this hospital.
1463
01:10:21,667 --> 01:10:25,166
I did not come this far
for just...
1464
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,467
You're not in a hotel.
1465
01:10:27,467 --> 01:10:29,166
-You're in the hospital.
-[Latonya] I know that.
1466
01:10:29,166 --> 01:10:31,467
-I know that.
-Okay. You got 400 pounds of
1467
01:10:31,467 --> 01:10:34,100
-extra food stored
in your body.
-Mmm-hmm.
1468
01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:36,300
And you need to pay that back.
1469
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:38,600
Okay?
1470
01:10:38,667 --> 01:10:41,166
Now the echocardiograms show
1471
01:10:41,166 --> 01:10:45,100
all the four chambers
of the heart are distended
1472
01:10:45,100 --> 01:10:47,366
and over-strained, okay?
1473
01:10:47,366 --> 01:10:48,000
and over-strained, okay?
1474
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,400
Your heart
is over-strained
because of your weight,
1475
01:10:51,467 --> 01:10:55,600
and your lung capacity
is restricted because
of your weight.
1476
01:10:56,166 --> 01:10:57,667
-Hmm.
-So,
1477
01:10:57,667 --> 01:10:59,800
this is the time
for you to learn
1478
01:10:59,867 --> 01:11:01,867
what healthy eating habits
should be.
1479
01:11:02,467 --> 01:11:04,567
You can go back to, uh...
1480
01:11:04,567 --> 01:11:06,166
what you like to eat,
1481
01:11:06,166 --> 01:11:08,800
and what you consider to be
healthy food.
1482
01:11:08,867 --> 01:11:12,300
-Yes sir.
-We got your heart
out of a critical place
1483
01:11:12,367 --> 01:11:13,767
over the past couple of weeks,
1484
01:11:13,767 --> 01:11:15,800
but if you don't keep
losing weight,
1485
01:11:15,867 --> 01:11:17,366
your heart is gonna get to
a critical place
very quickly again.
1486
01:11:17,366 --> 01:11:20,100
your heart is gonna get to
a critical place
very quickly again.
1487
01:11:20,166 --> 01:11:22,667
So, change and learn
what to do at home.
1488
01:11:23,967 --> 01:11:25,166
-Yeah.
-Because...
1489
01:11:25,166 --> 01:11:27,100
there's something wrong
with your eating habit
1490
01:11:27,100 --> 01:11:28,266
that you're not
losing weight.
1491
01:11:29,300 --> 01:11:30,166
You agree with that?
1492
01:11:30,867 --> 01:11:32,266
-Yes.
-Yes, sir.
1493
01:11:32,266 --> 01:11:35,266
So it's the time to learn
what healthy eating habits
should be.
1494
01:11:35,900 --> 01:11:37,700
-Okay?
-Yes, sir.
1495
01:11:37,767 --> 01:11:40,700
So, you can easily loose
60 pounds
1496
01:11:40,767 --> 01:11:42,367
in two and a half months.
1497
01:11:42,967 --> 01:11:44,266
Okay?
1498
01:11:44,266 --> 01:11:47,366
So no excuses,
because you're running
out of time.
1499
01:11:47,366 --> 01:11:47,367
So no excuses,
because you're running
out of time.
1500
01:11:47,367 --> 01:11:48,900
-Okay.
-Okay?
1501
01:11:48,967 --> 01:11:51,066
So we will
discharge you here soon,
1502
01:11:51,066 --> 01:11:52,800
to get you going home, okay?
1503
01:11:52,867 --> 01:11:53,867
-Okay.
-All right.
1504
01:11:54,367 --> 01:11:55,300
[Latonya] Thank you.
1505
01:11:55,300 --> 01:11:56,467
[Dr. Now] All right.
I'll see you later.
1506
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:58,367
[Latonya] Okay.
Bye-bye.
1507
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,800
Hopefully, the momentum
we have given Latonya,
1508
01:12:05,867 --> 01:12:09,400
and the tools
we have provided her
in the last couple of weeks,
1509
01:12:09,467 --> 01:12:10,600
will be enough
1510
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,266
to finally get her going
in the right direction.
1511
01:12:13,266 --> 01:12:15,300
But she doesn't have
a lot of time,
1512
01:12:15,367 --> 01:12:17,366
if she keeps pushing her body
like this.
1513
01:12:17,366 --> 01:12:17,567
if she keeps pushing her body
like this.
1514
01:12:17,567 --> 01:12:20,166
She either loses weight
and it keep it off,
1515
01:12:20,166 --> 01:12:23,300
to alleviate this strain
she's putting on her body,
1516
01:12:23,367 --> 01:12:26,800
or her situation
is gonna get critical again,
1517
01:12:26,867 --> 01:12:30,166
and something is gonna happen
where she doesn't make it.
1518
01:12:30,166 --> 01:12:33,400
So, she's gonna have to start
taking this seriously,
1519
01:12:33,467 --> 01:12:35,100
or this not gonna
turn out well for Latonya.
1520
01:12:51,467 --> 01:12:52,900
Go, go, go.
1521
01:12:53,500 --> 01:12:55,000
Girl you look too cute.
1522
01:12:56,567 --> 01:12:58,300
[Latonya] The changes
that I've made so far
1523
01:12:58,367 --> 01:12:59,433
since I've been back...
1524
01:12:59,433 --> 01:13:01,767
I don't do delivery anymore
to fast-food.
1525
01:13:01,767 --> 01:13:04,166
You know, I don't really do
snacks anymore.
1526
01:13:04,166 --> 01:13:06,667
It's a sacrifice,
but it's worth it,
1527
01:13:06,667 --> 01:13:07,667
you know what I'm saying?
1528
01:13:07,667 --> 01:13:08,700
You'll get your chips...
1529
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:10,356
so I could finish
my exercise, here.
1530
01:13:10,356 --> 01:13:11,400
so I could finish
my exercise, here.
1531
01:13:13,967 --> 01:13:15,767
-Mine.
-Okay.
1532
01:13:15,767 --> 01:13:19,200
[Latonya] I keep
my god-daughter
through the week sometimes.
1533
01:13:19,266 --> 01:13:20,100
Her mom works.
1534
01:13:20,967 --> 01:13:22,467
She just lifts my spirits,
1535
01:13:22,467 --> 01:13:24,467
she keeps me going, so...
1536
01:13:24,467 --> 01:13:27,100
I really have to
fight to stay around for her.
1537
01:13:27,100 --> 01:13:30,266
One, two, three...
1538
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:32,467
[Latonya] She depends on me.
1539
01:13:33,100 --> 01:13:37,800
ten, 11, 12, 13,
1540
01:13:37,867 --> 01:13:39,300
14-- come back.
1541
01:13:39,367 --> 01:13:40,356
Tryna exercise
with my god-baby is...
Oh, my God.
1542
01:13:40,356 --> 01:13:42,567
Tryna exercise
with my god-baby is...
Oh, my God.
1543
01:13:42,567 --> 01:13:45,100
It's kind of...
it's kind of funny...
1544
01:13:45,100 --> 01:13:46,266
'cause she's make me laugh,
1545
01:13:46,300 --> 01:13:48,967
and as I'm counting,
she tries to count as well.
1546
01:13:48,967 --> 01:13:49,867
She's only one.
1547
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,767
16, 17, 18,
1548
01:13:54,266 --> 01:13:57,567
19, 20... ooh!
1549
01:13:57,567 --> 01:14:00,066
So, like,
I basically just do
a little warming up,
1550
01:14:00,066 --> 01:14:01,000
or whatever, you know,
1551
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,400
try to take a few steps
and walking.
1552
01:14:03,467 --> 01:14:06,967
Just doing different things
that I used to...
couldn't do.
1553
01:14:06,967 --> 01:14:09,266
you know, so, now,
I'm tryna...
1554
01:14:09,266 --> 01:14:10,356
just move around more.
1555
01:14:10,356 --> 01:14:10,500
just move around more.
1556
01:14:12,300 --> 01:14:13,300
[wheels squeaking]
1557
01:14:14,767 --> 01:14:15,567
Move.
1558
01:14:20,367 --> 01:14:22,000
All right, Tonya.
All right.
1559
01:14:31,367 --> 01:14:32,500
[girl] Hello!
1560
01:14:34,767 --> 01:14:37,000
-[girl] This is her chair.
-Move, honey. Move, move.
1561
01:14:39,467 --> 01:14:40,356
Oh, wonderful.
1562
01:14:40,356 --> 01:14:41,500
Oh, wonderful.
1563
01:14:41,567 --> 01:14:43,667
I work out, you know,
through the day,
1564
01:14:43,667 --> 01:14:45,600
from the morning
to evening, you know,
1565
01:14:45,667 --> 01:14:47,100
but it was kinda warm outside,
1566
01:14:47,166 --> 01:14:49,767
so I'll probably just
continue tomorrow,
1567
01:14:49,767 --> 01:14:51,767
you know, with the workout,
1568
01:14:51,767 --> 01:14:54,300
um, I'mma get me a walk in,
1569
01:14:54,367 --> 01:14:57,567
you know, I just try to do
a little different
movement around.
1570
01:14:57,567 --> 01:14:59,200
-You did good, you did good.
-I couldn't,
1571
01:14:59,266 --> 01:15:01,567
-I was nervous.
-That's all right.
1572
01:15:01,567 --> 01:15:03,500
-One step at a time, baby.
-And I...
1573
01:15:03,567 --> 01:15:05,500
I hold my breath...
1574
01:15:05,567 --> 01:15:08,066
when I walk some--
when I'm moving,
I'm not breathing.
1575
01:15:08,066 --> 01:15:10,356
But we know we need to count,
one, two, three...
1576
01:15:10,356 --> 01:15:10,867
But we know we need to count,
one, two, three...
1577
01:15:10,867 --> 01:15:12,166
I was counting for you,
1578
01:15:12,166 --> 01:15:13,000
but you didn't hear me.
1579
01:15:15,500 --> 01:15:16,500
-[Virgie] You did good
-It wasn't--
1580
01:15:17,367 --> 01:15:19,266
It wasn't enough,
but it's gonna get better.
1581
01:15:19,266 --> 01:15:21,066
-[Virgie] Yeah.
-It's gonna get better.
1582
01:15:23,066 --> 01:15:25,300
I got to go
out of here and get ready
to start cooking,
1583
01:15:25,367 --> 01:15:27,367
-'cause he'll be
home in a while.
-Okay, then.
1584
01:15:27,367 --> 01:15:28,967
Well, you save me some
for tomorrow.
1585
01:15:28,967 --> 01:15:30,567
I sure will, honeybuns.
1586
01:15:30,567 --> 01:15:32,100
Come on, go.
1587
01:15:32,166 --> 01:15:33,800
Come on, go.
[mimicking car horn honking]
1588
01:15:35,300 --> 01:15:36,166
You better move.
1589
01:15:37,266 --> 01:15:39,066
You better move,
you better move.
1590
01:15:40,467 --> 01:15:41,867
You better move.
1591
01:15:41,867 --> 01:15:43,066
After I did the workout,
1592
01:15:43,066 --> 01:15:45,367
I kinda feel relaxed,
1593
01:15:45,367 --> 01:15:47,400
and you know, it was relaxing.
1594
01:15:47,467 --> 01:15:49,367
It's always exciting
to know that
1595
01:15:49,367 --> 01:15:51,600
your doing something healthy,
you know...
1596
01:15:52,567 --> 01:15:53,900
for new results.
1597
01:15:53,967 --> 01:15:55,600
Um, it was okay.
1598
01:15:58,066 --> 01:15:59,400
Honey, I'm home.
1599
01:16:00,367 --> 01:16:01,900
Hey, boo. How you doing?
1600
01:16:01,967 --> 01:16:03,166
-[Daune] Tired, man.
I'm hungry, man.
-How...
1601
01:16:03,166 --> 01:16:04,767
How was your day?
1602
01:16:04,767 --> 01:16:06,500
It was all right,
but I'm hungry now,
I'm hungry.
1603
01:16:06,567 --> 01:16:08,100
What you cook?
1604
01:16:08,166 --> 01:16:10,356
I just made something healthy
for me and for you.
1605
01:16:10,356 --> 01:16:10,900
I just made something healthy
for me and for you.
1606
01:16:11,900 --> 01:16:12,767
-I need the stove.
-Give me a kiss.
1607
01:16:14,300 --> 01:16:15,700
My fiance, Daune,
1608
01:16:15,767 --> 01:16:18,266
who has just
come at home, so...
1609
01:16:18,266 --> 01:16:20,467
I was trying to get him...
1610
01:16:21,467 --> 01:16:23,700
accommodated with
cooking for him,
1611
01:16:23,767 --> 01:16:26,667
and making sure that
he was comfortable,
you know.
1612
01:16:27,367 --> 01:16:28,600
Okay, what you did today?
1613
01:16:28,667 --> 01:16:30,166
I walked.
1614
01:16:30,166 --> 01:16:31,100
[Daune] How many steps
you took?
1615
01:16:31,166 --> 01:16:33,000
Oh, like, four. [laughs]
1616
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,166
That's it?
1617
01:16:34,166 --> 01:16:35,500
-That's good.
That's a start.
-Yeah, I was scared,
1618
01:16:35,567 --> 01:16:36,900
then you weren't here with me.
1619
01:16:36,967 --> 01:16:38,300
-So I feel like--
-What you scared of?
1620
01:16:39,467 --> 01:16:40,356
You keep saying
you're scared.
1621
01:16:40,356 --> 01:16:40,367
You keep saying
you're scared.
1622
01:16:40,367 --> 01:16:42,000
'Cause I feel like I'mma fall.
1623
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,467
[Daune] That's cause
you ain't been on your feet
like that in a while.
1624
01:16:44,467 --> 01:16:46,700
It's like something
you gotta get used to
all over again.
1625
01:16:47,166 --> 01:16:48,266
Yeah.
1626
01:16:48,266 --> 01:16:49,266
[Daune] It's simple, man.
1627
01:16:49,266 --> 01:16:50,767
I told you over
and over again,
1628
01:16:50,767 --> 01:16:52,467
that's... that will
make me mad.
1629
01:16:52,467 --> 01:16:54,166
It's easy to lose
that weight.
1630
01:16:56,367 --> 01:16:57,667
That's easy for you to say.
1631
01:16:57,667 --> 01:16:58,600
That's your thing.
1632
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:01,367
That's easy for you to say.
1633
01:17:02,567 --> 01:17:03,867
You know
this is life-threatening.
1634
01:17:04,867 --> 01:17:06,467
You gon' play with your life?
1635
01:17:06,467 --> 01:17:08,400
I've just been caught up
in everybody else's life,
1636
01:17:08,467 --> 01:17:09,767
and not concentrating on me.
1637
01:17:09,767 --> 01:17:10,356
Stop talking about people,
1638
01:17:10,356 --> 01:17:11,867
Stop talking about people,
1639
01:17:11,867 --> 01:17:13,467
people, people, people.
1640
01:17:13,467 --> 01:17:15,266
It ain't about people,
it's about you, man.
1641
01:17:15,266 --> 01:17:16,667
It ain't even about me
right now.
1642
01:17:17,367 --> 01:17:18,367
Now you know this,
1643
01:17:18,367 --> 01:17:20,166
this... this is something
you know already.
1644
01:17:20,166 --> 01:17:21,867
Yeah. I'm done
talking about it, though.
1645
01:17:22,767 --> 01:17:24,867
I know that
losing weight...
1646
01:17:25,867 --> 01:17:27,767
would change my life forever.
1647
01:17:27,767 --> 01:17:29,266
Would you just
put that in the microwave?
1648
01:17:29,266 --> 01:17:30,867
I'll put this up later.
1649
01:17:31,567 --> 01:17:32,767
But yeah, I'm finna...
1650
01:17:33,166 --> 01:17:34,000
call it a night.
1651
01:17:35,100 --> 01:17:36,700
I'm gonna do
what he tells me to do.
1652
01:17:43,066 --> 01:17:44,967
[soft music playing]
1653
01:18:01,967 --> 01:18:02,967
[Latonya] Well, we made it.
1654
01:18:11,567 --> 01:18:12,282
[Latonya] I'm excited
about today.
1655
01:18:12,282 --> 01:18:13,600
[Latonya] I'm excited
about today.
1656
01:18:13,667 --> 01:18:15,300
And hopefully I'mma
get to move ahead
1657
01:18:15,367 --> 01:18:16,900
with my weight loss
surgery soon...
1658
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,867
because I know
Dr. Now's gonna give me
the green light for that
1659
01:18:21,867 --> 01:18:23,900
when he sees how I've done
this time.
1660
01:18:36,867 --> 01:18:38,867
[breathing heavily]
1661
01:18:41,100 --> 01:18:41,900
[exhales]
1662
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:46,734
I know you hot. I'm sorry.
1663
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:57,734
Latonya.
1664
01:18:57,734 --> 01:18:58,667
[Latonya] Hey, Ms. Rose.
1665
01:18:58,734 --> 01:19:00,200
[nurse] Hello, how are you?
1666
01:19:00,266 --> 01:19:01,734
-[Latonya] I'm okay,
how are you doing?
-[nurse] Good.
1667
01:19:01,734 --> 01:19:03,166
-[nurse] Okay.
-[Daune] How you doing?
1668
01:19:03,166 --> 01:19:06,467
[Latonya] When I left
the hospital,
I was in 594,
1669
01:19:06,467 --> 01:19:09,400
and Dr. Now wanted me
to loose 60 pounds by today.
1670
01:19:11,100 --> 01:19:12,282
And I know I made progress
towards it,
1671
01:19:12,282 --> 01:19:13,300
And I know I made progress
towards it,
1672
01:19:13,367 --> 01:19:15,166
so I'm excited to see
how much.
1673
01:19:19,467 --> 01:19:20,266
[nurse] Okay.
1674
01:19:20,734 --> 01:19:21,567
We're ready.
1675
01:19:32,767 --> 01:19:34,567
[breathing heavily]
1676
01:19:49,367 --> 01:19:51,100
-We're going to room five.
-[Latonya] Okay.
1677
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,066
[Latonya] That just doesn't
make any sense.
1678
01:20:00,066 --> 01:20:01,433
That can't be right.
1679
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,467
The scale
just can't be showing
my weight right.
1680
01:20:06,467 --> 01:20:08,300
And now this is gonna be
a big mess,
1681
01:20:08,367 --> 01:20:10,266
because Dr. Now
is not gonna like it.
1682
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,900
And I just
can't take him
chewing me out again.
1683
01:20:20,166 --> 01:20:21,100
[exhales forcefully]
1684
01:20:22,266 --> 01:20:23,100
[exhales]
1685
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:27,467
Patience.
1686
01:20:30,667 --> 01:20:31,500
[knock on door]
1687
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:35,166
-[Dr. Now] Hello.
-[Latonya] Hi.
1688
01:20:35,166 --> 01:20:36,100
How are y'all doing?
1689
01:20:36,166 --> 01:20:37,767
[Latonya] All right,
you know.
1690
01:20:37,767 --> 01:20:39,467
All right.
Well, Latonya,
1691
01:20:39,467 --> 01:20:41,000
how is everything
going with you?
1692
01:20:41,667 --> 01:20:42,282
Pretty bad.
1693
01:20:42,282 --> 01:20:43,066
Pretty bad.
1694
01:20:43,066 --> 01:20:45,567
Well, I know.
We got you in the hospital
to loose some weight,
1695
01:20:45,567 --> 01:20:48,266
and you go home
and start gaining again.
1696
01:20:48,266 --> 01:20:49,266
So what's with that?
1697
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:53,867
I... I don't--
I'm not gonna say that...
1698
01:20:55,567 --> 01:20:56,567
I think that...
1699
01:20:58,100 --> 01:21:00,400
it may be the lymphedema,
I don't know now.
1700
01:21:00,967 --> 01:21:03,266
But I really have, like,
1701
01:21:03,266 --> 01:21:07,467
cut down on the sweetening...
the drinks,
1702
01:21:07,467 --> 01:21:09,367
like, a lot of stuff
that I used to do,
1703
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:11,100
I've cut down on it,
1704
01:21:11,166 --> 01:21:12,282
but, like, with the exercise
and that stuff,
1705
01:21:12,282 --> 01:21:14,266
but, like, with the exercise
and that stuff,
1706
01:21:14,266 --> 01:21:19,567
I haven't been able to do
none of that
from the pain and stuff.
1707
01:21:19,567 --> 01:21:21,367
It's not lymphedema,
1708
01:21:21,367 --> 01:21:22,734
it is your eating habit
1709
01:21:22,734 --> 01:21:26,467
and you have not
been able to change that,
1710
01:21:26,467 --> 01:21:29,367
and you're expecting something
magical to change that,
1711
01:21:29,367 --> 01:21:30,600
that's not gonna happen.
1712
01:21:30,667 --> 01:21:32,500
I'm not expecting magic,
1713
01:21:32,567 --> 01:21:34,667
'cause if I was
expecting magic,
1714
01:21:34,667 --> 01:21:36,000
I wouldn't be here with you.
1715
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:38,200
-Right?
-[Dr. Now] No, no, no...
1716
01:21:38,266 --> 01:21:40,066
Look, you can tell yourself,
1717
01:21:40,066 --> 01:21:42,282
you're not looking
for a magic solution,
1718
01:21:42,282 --> 01:21:42,367
you're not looking
for a magic solution,
1719
01:21:42,367 --> 01:21:45,667
but you keep saying that
you're gonna do something,
1720
01:21:45,667 --> 01:21:47,867
but you never do it.
1721
01:21:47,867 --> 01:21:48,867
Can we agree
1722
01:21:48,867 --> 01:21:51,266
that your weight has to do
with what you eat?
1723
01:21:52,367 --> 01:21:54,000
-Yeah.
-[Dr. Now] Okay.
1724
01:21:54,066 --> 01:21:56,000
And if you eat less,
you're gonna lose weight.
1725
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:58,300
Okay?
1726
01:21:58,300 --> 01:22:01,500
And if you don't understand
any part of the diets,
1727
01:22:01,567 --> 01:22:03,066
you should understand
to eat less.
1728
01:22:03,667 --> 01:22:05,367
That is an issue that
1729
01:22:05,367 --> 01:22:08,000
we go over and over with you,
1730
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,066
and in time we come back,
we gain a few pounds.
1731
01:22:11,066 --> 01:22:12,282
So this is not working,
1732
01:22:12,282 --> 01:22:13,667
So this is not working,
1733
01:22:13,667 --> 01:22:15,600
and I don't know
what else to do
1734
01:22:15,667 --> 01:22:17,800
to get through to you
at this point,
1735
01:22:17,867 --> 01:22:21,467
because some
element of control
has to come from you.
1736
01:22:21,467 --> 01:22:23,266
So far,
that has hasn't happened,
1737
01:22:23,266 --> 01:22:26,100
and we cannot get you
to take that step.
1738
01:22:26,166 --> 01:22:27,600
So, when
are you gonna do that?
1739
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:31,700
Now.
1740
01:22:31,700 --> 01:22:35,200
So what is different this time
from the last time
you told me, "Now?"
1741
01:22:35,266 --> 01:22:37,567
From the time
before you told me
you can change,
1742
01:22:37,567 --> 01:22:39,900
from the time
before you told me
you can change.
1743
01:22:39,967 --> 01:22:42,282
Just coming here
and looking at the scale,
1744
01:22:42,282 --> 01:22:43,867
Just coming here
and looking at the scale,
1745
01:22:43,867 --> 01:22:47,066
and just seeing that
in reality, like,
1746
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,767
you got one foot in the grave
and one foot out.
1747
01:22:50,767 --> 01:22:53,500
Like, this is the deadline,
this is it.
1748
01:22:53,567 --> 01:22:56,467
Repeatedly, we have been
with you,
1749
01:22:56,467 --> 01:22:59,266
explaining the diet,
what to eat,
what not to eat,
1750
01:22:59,266 --> 01:23:01,900
how many times to eat,
how many calories,
1751
01:23:01,967 --> 01:23:03,600
but you don't do
any of it.
1752
01:23:03,667 --> 01:23:07,266
You don't follow
any of the direction
I gave you.
1753
01:23:07,266 --> 01:23:08,600
So, at this point,
1754
01:23:08,667 --> 01:23:11,066
there is nothing more
I can do for you.
1755
01:23:11,066 --> 01:23:12,282
And I'm not gonna
set up another
appointment for you.
1756
01:23:12,282 --> 01:23:13,967
And I'm not gonna
set up another
appointment for you.
1757
01:23:13,967 --> 01:23:16,767
If you want to wake up
and change your eating habit,
1758
01:23:16,767 --> 01:23:19,767
and lose at least 60 pounds
to show me that,
1759
01:23:19,767 --> 01:23:21,100
then let me know.
1760
01:23:21,100 --> 01:23:23,500
And we'll set
an appointment
to get your weight checked
1761
01:23:23,567 --> 01:23:25,467
in Shreveport, to see.
1762
01:23:25,467 --> 01:23:29,266
Because there is no point
in you coming down
here anymore,
1763
01:23:29,266 --> 01:23:30,967
and going through the motions,
1764
01:23:30,967 --> 01:23:33,800
when it is clear
that you're not gonna
change at all.
1765
01:23:33,867 --> 01:23:36,200
But unless
that happens,
then we are done.
1766
01:23:36,767 --> 01:23:38,600
-Okay?
-Okay.
1767
01:23:38,667 --> 01:23:40,100
Have a nice trip back home.
1768
01:23:40,100 --> 01:23:41,367
[Latonya] Okay.
Thank you.
1769
01:23:46,734 --> 01:23:48,967
-I feel like a boomerang.
-Who?
1770
01:23:48,967 --> 01:23:51,900
I can just keep
going in circles,
1771
01:23:51,967 --> 01:23:53,300
I've been here before.
1772
01:23:54,767 --> 01:23:55,767
[Dr. Now] At this point,
1773
01:23:55,767 --> 01:23:58,600
there is nothing more
we can do for Latonya.
1774
01:23:58,667 --> 01:24:00,900
It's been going on
over six years,
1775
01:24:00,967 --> 01:24:03,100
since she first came to me
for help.
1776
01:24:03,166 --> 01:24:05,400
And aside from
a short period of time
1777
01:24:05,467 --> 01:24:08,600
we put her on
a controlled diet
in the hospital,
1778
01:24:08,667 --> 01:24:10,266
she hasn't lost any weight.
1779
01:24:10,266 --> 01:24:12,166
And over
the last eight months,
1780
01:24:12,166 --> 01:24:12,282
we have given her
1781
01:24:12,282 --> 01:24:13,166
we have given her
1782
01:24:13,166 --> 01:24:16,000
every tool and opportunity
we can,
1783
01:24:16,066 --> 01:24:17,467
and nothing we have done
1784
01:24:17,467 --> 01:24:19,467
has made any difference
with her.
1785
01:24:19,467 --> 01:24:21,500
We provided her
with a diet
1786
01:24:21,567 --> 01:24:23,500
and exercises to follow,
1787
01:24:23,567 --> 01:24:27,200
with a physical therapist
to get her
out of her chair.
1788
01:24:27,266 --> 01:24:29,734
And a dietitian
and psychotherapist
1789
01:24:29,734 --> 01:24:31,100
to also help her.
1790
01:24:31,100 --> 01:24:32,767
And none of it
has been enough
1791
01:24:32,767 --> 01:24:35,467
to get her to start
doing what she needs.
1792
01:24:35,467 --> 01:24:38,467
So unless she decides
to take this seriously,
1793
01:24:38,467 --> 01:24:40,500
and lose at least 60 pounds,
1794
01:24:40,567 --> 01:24:42,200
then we are done with her.
1795
01:24:42,266 --> 01:24:42,282
Hopefully,
she wakes up
before it's too late.
1796
01:24:42,282 --> 01:24:45,166
Hopefully,
she wakes up
before it's too late.
1797
01:24:46,266 --> 01:24:48,567
It was kinda what I expected,
1798
01:24:48,567 --> 01:24:50,266
because I've gained weight.
1799
01:24:50,266 --> 01:24:53,066
I didn't expect him
to go light on me,
1800
01:24:53,066 --> 01:24:55,900
because, you know,
I am guilty...
1801
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:57,767
you know,
1802
01:24:57,767 --> 01:24:59,200
for the weight gain.
1803
01:24:59,266 --> 01:25:02,266
Depression, stress, finances,
1804
01:25:02,266 --> 01:25:04,100
you know,
just going through a lot.
1805
01:25:04,100 --> 01:25:07,100
But there's no excuse of me
1806
01:25:07,100 --> 01:25:09,467
not doing
what I need to do
to lose the weight.
1807
01:25:10,967 --> 01:25:12,282
I'm frustrated,
because I am trying.
1808
01:25:12,282 --> 01:25:13,467
I'm frustrated,
because I am trying.
1809
01:25:14,867 --> 01:25:17,367
I need my situation
to get easier,
1810
01:25:17,367 --> 01:25:19,100
but it only ever gets harder.
1811
01:25:19,900 --> 01:25:21,900
This is just
one more time
1812
01:25:21,967 --> 01:25:24,467
that I gotta figure out
on my own,
like I always do.
1813
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:25,467
Well, that's what
I'm gonna do.
