Corey is a young gay man who is just getting back on his feet after being homeless. He has dreams of getting back into college and finding a serious relationship, but he needs to make huge changes if he is going to live his dreams -- or live at all.

His legs look scary.  Scarier, than his shirtless torso. 

Being homeless and essentially unwanted by family is kind of sad (see what real hardship is like, Ryan?)... but he actually sounds pretty smart, surely he could have found other ways to cope than eating?  What's up with people not having any interests or hobbies besides eating?  Especially in the world of ubiquitous cheap or free internet access.

He seems very open, the type to make friends easily. Can’t he find another hobby?

I will not lie, I would hurt someone to get one of those eclairs.   

I really thought the episode title refered to Dr. P becoming a father, not a 'daddy'.     

I hope Corey gets with the program, and does really well, gets surgery.   Why are Corey's teeth so yellow?    Lack of dental care, or is he a smoker?   So, Corey thought he'd have 500+ for his weight, and it was 664!   

I really like his brother.  

His brothers in the picture looked older than Corey, so he might have been the only son at home when his Mom turned on him, when he came out.

His brother'd be cute if he lost the beard.

 I wonder if the facial hair is a rebellion after all the years of being clean-shaved in the military.  But I agree, that kind of beard is a huge turn-off for me (and facial hair in general... )   But kudos to him for pushing his brother to exercise... exercise will help his endurance, but I am afraid Corey thinks he can lose weight with just the exercise.  No way you can outexercise all of those eclairs...

The guy is a bit of a drama queen and it's starting to grate on me.  You don't have to turn everything in your life into an over-emoting performance.  Even if you are being filmed for a cheesy reality show.  Maybe it's better than the dead fish impersonations we often get on M600L but he is inching too far to the other end of the scale.

Agree, I pegged him as a theatre major the second he opened his mouth….or at least a theatre kid

Owning a non-profit is an excellent dream.  How about starting by volunteering at an organization working toward the same/similar goal?  That way you can start meaningfully contributing AND learn what people you want to help actually want/need instead of just going with what you think they want/need AND occupy your time with something other than eating.  It's not an 'all of nothing' type of a situation.

My Mom always used to tease me if I had a cold sore or a cracked lip - "Meet a bad kisser, huh?" 🤪

Expand  

I've never had a cold sore but I had chronically chapped lips every winter as a kid. Now I stock up on Neutrogena lip balm and always have one in my pocket.

What's with the dramatic music at the absolutely-not-surprising expectation that he would continue to follow the diet and lose weight when surgery was postponed?

I'm really hoping Corey kept with the program, and went back much improved to see Dr. Proctor.    I'm hoping next Wednesday is part 2, but who knows.

Looks like it is: "After Dr. Procter postponed Corey's bariatric surgery and increased his weight loss target to 25 pounds, Corey tries to stay focused on his diet; a successful blind date provides a welcome boost of confidence."

Depression and food is an easy distraction from the pain.  I've been there and hobbies, etc. are just too hard.

I kind of liked this guy; I'm interested in part 2. He's got a long way to go, though- even at 28, he's going to have a huge amount of loose skin if he does succeed in losing a lot. I did wonder about that mass of broken veins on his upper legs- can't recall seeing that on super-obese men before.

Check out his Instagram. He looks amazing and seems to be applying to Law School or at least studying for his LSAT.
