    Emotional Eating, Trauma, and a 311-Pound Weight Loss Transformation | LifeLONG

    What happens when food becomes more than food? This week on LifeLONG, Ethan Suplee sits down with Michael Collins, who lost an incredible 311 pounds after years of struggling with obesity, type 2 diabetes, emotional eating, and what many people now describe as "food noise." At his heaviest, Michael weighed over 500 pounds. He was taking multiple medications, struggling to walk, and facing a frightening health prognosis. But his transformation wasn't just about weight loss. Michael shows how trauma, grief, emotional eating, self-worth, and food addiction shaped his relationship with food for decades. And how addressing the emotional side of obesity became just as important as changing what was on his plate. Michael's story isn't about quick fixes, extreme dieting, or perfect discipline. It's about healing, honesty, and learning how to separate emotional needs from eating behaviors.
