00:00You
00:05That's beautiful. That's how I know it's ready.
00:08You cannot be serious.
00:10I've been having bad stomach aches.
00:12Why did it hurt?
00:13It's like down here.
00:15It's going to stay in your body forever.
00:17You're not ever going to be able to digest it.
00:19I don't just poop it out.
00:20Like cold.
00:21No.
00:22This is our warehousing area.
00:25These are all boxes ready to ship out.
00:27I feel like the cardboard king.
00:30It would affect how it tastes to a person.
00:34Charlotte and the kids.
00:35Have a bond.
00:37That words really can't describe.
00:39There's cognitive.
00:40Benefits.
00:41Behavioral.
00:42Nutritional.
00:43Do you have ideas about when you would like to start?
00:45At this point, no.
00:46I don't care about the opinions of others.
00:50No.
00:50You
00:53ain't
00:55You
00:55I'll see you next time.
01:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:05Oh, oh.
01:10I'm really
01:15into arts and crafts, basically anything that revolves around me using hot glue.
01:20I really love the scent of hot glue. It feels like, it smells very
01:25warm to me. It smells homey. And I do also like the texture of it.
01:30I love it.
01:35I love it.
01:37I love it.
01:39I love it.
01:40It's like where some people they eat gum, but for me it's the hot glue.
01:45I love it.
01:47Craft and snack.
01:49Good to have-
01:50Give a treat while I'm working.
01:53My name is Jayden. I'm a college student.
01:55I live in Antioch, Illinois, and I'm addicted to eating hot glue sticks.
02:00I have my compartment for glue sticks, which is very convenient.
02:05I eat hot glue sticks every single day.
02:07I eat it between meals, as a snack, when I want something to-
02:10chew on.
02:11I'll sometimes go with a fresh pack if I'm like, feeling like I deserve a reward.
02:15Or something.
02:16To me, they taste different if they're fresh or old.
02:18I feel stimulated. I like-
02:20I like the moving of my mouth, and I just feel satisfied.
02:23I like the peace it gives me.
02:25I'll chew it until it's soft and malleable enough, and then from there I like to-
02:30fully swallow it.
02:31It feels like a waste if I'm not finishing it whole.
02:34This was-
02:35This is a really good brand.
02:36I feel like I was going to burp.
02:39Okay.
02:40Boatland music-
02:45Toe stesso
02:50My hot glue addiction actually started when I was three years old.
02:55I started with eating plastics like bottle caps, Tupperware lids.
03:00Packaging on toys.
03:02My mom thought it was like, you know, when you're younger, you just chew on.
03:05But then as I got older, I got into arts and crafts and I just...
03:10really just got stuck on hot glue.
03:15So I usually do a few light taps to see it...
03:20like, okay, it's coming out.
03:21That's beautiful.
03:21That's what I look for.
03:22That's how I know it's ready.
03:24I'll just...
03:25It's like, I'm gonna make a line.
03:27Go back.
03:28I got another one.
03:30You know, this isn't the worst thing you could be making a line of.
03:35And then I'll try to get it tacky with my hands by doing light taps.
03:40Most people, this would be really hot, but I'm used to it by now.
03:43Oh, it's getting to the...
03:44good consistency I like.
03:46And so I'll start scooping some, you know, like scraping it up.
03:49It's a nice consistency.
03:52And then from there, I just eat it.
03:54Everyone has their weird things they do.
03:59And eating hot glue is just mine.
04:02Sometimes I like to get a little creative with...
04:04I feel like those rope-shaped candies.
04:07I don't get stomach aches too often.
04:09Thankfully, even though I'm like really constipated, but no one has really told me.
04:14Hey, that's weird.
04:15Or you need a stop.
04:17Then I could just eat it.
04:19It's a little hard sometimes, but you get it.
04:23You get it sometimes.
04:24Get it.
04:30Oh, I don't want to keep Fir.
04:33Let's start.
04:37Let's go.
04:38Let's go.
04:41Let's go.
04:42Let's go.
04:46Let's go.
04:47Let's go.
04:53Let's go.
04:53Let's go.
04:54I'm doing business law. Both of those sound really hard and
04:59I'm glad I'm not doing that. You guys know if there's any outlets around here because I know you guys
05:04come here more than me. Oh yeah there's one right there. My sister knows, my mom knows.
05:09My dad knows. Everyone who would like see me on a daily basis and watch me eat it, they know.
05:14Other people, not so much.
05:19You
05:24I'm studying for college.
05:29College exams can be very stressful and you just need something to take the edge off
05:33a little bit.
05:34I'm studying for college.
05:39What is that for?
05:44You know, people chew gum to keep themselves stimulated or...
05:49You're gonna chew on the hot glue?
05:51No.
05:52Well, it's hot, hot, but...
05:54Yeah.
05:55Are you pranking us, or...?
05:57Oh, okay.
05:59You cannot be serious.
06:01And...
06:04Yeah.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Yeah.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Yeah.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Yeah.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Yeah.
06:17My name is Terry.
06:19I am 39 years old.
06:24I live in Memphis, Tennessee.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Yeah.
06:31Yeah.
06:32Yeah.
06:33Yeah.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Yeah.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Yeah.
06:40Yeah.
06:41And I'm addicted to eating cardboard.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Yeah.
06:46Yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Yeah.
06:51Yeah.
06:52Yeah.
06:53Yeah.
06:54Yeah.
06:59Yeah.
06:54My addiction started when I was six years old.
06:58I picked this in college.
06:59I wore it up and put it in my mouth, and it tasted great.
07:02And I just kept doing it ever since then.
07:04In the morning, I start getting my butter ready for my...
07:09I got eggs.
07:13I'm going to spit some...
07:14I'm going to give it a...
07:16a silver flavor.
07:18McCurlboy.
07:19I'm going to spit some.
07:20I'm going to spit some.
07:21I'll tell you.
07:22I use it on...
07:24I'm going to try to make my breath so while people still sleep.
07:27So they won't see me with my car.
07:30I live with my mom.
07:32And my family don't know.
07:34I'm addicted to eating cardboard.
07:36I hide my addiction because I feel like...
07:39nobody will accept me.
07:45I'm not eating Tisch.
07:47So I just...
07:48some gifts or anything.
07:49Mmm!
07:51Are you working with antimicrowome north upcoming...
07:55So I would Jenny Bud постав yankan where to buy it,
07:57and they really tend to make me look dirty
07:59and wait for sure to arrive.
08:04You go to the temperature.
08:06If you liked this, they should be living against shame,
08:10so I'm going to Hawaii,
08:12and with them, just like that.
08:16It's something...
08:17Then when it dries, it be like a crackling taste.
08:22It's like the cardboard is giving me power.
08:27I thought about quitting a couple of times, but then...
08:32I couldn't do anything.
08:34I didn't have no power.
08:37I compare eating cardboard to a spiritual awakening.
08:42Of being cardboard king.
08:47The man who...
08:52chose all the cardboard in the universe.
08:57So thanks.
08:58So many times, the airport would be an open hand.
09:00And it was really important, too.
09:01We mess with it all together.
09:02So would you like...
09:04dancing in the ohne-at-egg way?
09:05It would be wonderful.
09:07Then in the old 5...
09:08Dance...
09:09Вот.
09:10I know.
09:12The work is going to work with my own football.
09:14As a result of this, we are a little bit more.
09:16We are going to be talking about something that has turned out
09:19a little bit more.
09:20But I'm going to be talking about building some of the things
09:23of the world here.
09:24There's a lot of focus of the process of being able to do
09:26There's many different types of cardboard,
09:28but my favorite type of cardboard is
09:31just a regular brown box.
09:33Even though this cardboard has a lot of print on it,
09:36I'll stay to the open side of the cardboard.
09:41Even though I have to hide from my friends and family,
09:45cardboard n******,
09:46it never had any type of negative effect on my life.
09:49I'm perfectly healthy and I'm...
09:51I'm scrum.
09:52I just eat cardboard because it soothes me.
09:54It comes to me now and I'm...
09:56I'm never gonna stop eating it.
10:01My daughter, Ray Sienna, is seven and my...
10:06My son, Malachi, is four.
10:08Can I ask you, Mama, Malachi, please?
10:10Yes.
10:11It seems a bit strange.
10:13It's something that I do not see every day.
10:16I'm having, like, pooping issues,
10:17but that's, like, the only issue.
10:18I can't imagine why.
10:19Obviously.
10:20You're not meant to eat...
10:21It's plastic and when you ingest them,
10:23bad things happen.
10:26I'm leaving.
10:27I understood why.
10:31You know the truth vapeermos are into,
10:33of course.
10:34Come to be...
10:36You know the truth that we safe from life around me,
10:39to make us noise towards you and your feelings around the world.
10:44We can take away from the world,
10:45so I can keep everything on the world,
10:47so I can do things on the world to like the world because I'm mixed up.
10:52Gone to the world.
10:53caring, and that's what every mom brings to their family.
10:58Can I ask you, Mom, an empty place?
11:00Yes.
11:03And I'm addicted to breastfeeding.
11:08Typically, you see a mother.
11:13Breastfeeding a baby.
11:15You know, an infant.
11:17But, oh!
11:18That child is quite a bit older.
11:20It seems a bit strange.
11:23It's something that I do not see every day.
11:28A typical reaction of my children's age...
11:33Just be a double take.
11:34Because it's not common to see a child in that position that is as big...
11:38as my kids are.
11:39But if we're out and about and my kids are asking for a mama milk...
11:43I do try to accommodate in the moment.
11:49Some people may not appreciate what I'm doing and say,
11:52wow, they're too old for that.
11:53Or, um, you're gonna turn your children into a serial killer.
11:56Or something just absurd.
11:58But I don't care about the opinions of others.
12:02It's okay.
12:03That they just don't know what they don't know.
12:09that the Sophie is saying!
12:11You out hand!
12:12It's okay!
12:13It's okay!
12:13That's a robot.
12:18I can't get this out.
12:23Currently, my kids breastfeed a couple times a day, but also I have pumped.
12:28Extra breast milk.
12:29This is milk from probably a year and a half.
12:33I'm two years old now and I'm really excited to have this because it is liquid gold to me.
12:38I kept breastfeeding when I learned about the benefits of it.
12:43Hi.
12:44Hi.
12:45Hi.
12:46Hi.
12:47Hi.
12:49The hormone oxytocin is released and that's the love hormone and that just floods your
12:51body.
12:53and it floods your brain and it's it is a euphoric feeling but also it helps
12:58the health of my children immensely there's cognitive benefits
13:03there's emotional, behavioral, nutritional
13:08this goes on
13:13I also use it when the children might have ear infections if there's a fever that's amazing
13:18I mean they call it liquid gold for a reason
13:21I'm sorry I got passionate
13:23you want some milk on your boo-boo
13:25yeah
13:28I hope it feels better
13:32thank you
13:33bye
13:33I usually have some extra milk that I had expressed or pumped that I could add to their eggs
13:38or
13:38or a smoothie and they wouldn't know what's in there
13:41I have a
13:43I've offered to put breast milk in my husband's food and he is not interested in that and I 100%
13:48respect it however just a little bit goes a long way
13:53I believe
13:53I believe that breast milk is superior to other foods and it's just perfect
13:58when we print it out sometimes the black comes through
14:02yeah
14:02we gotta make it like that
14:03and then you want the blue and the C
14:05yeah
14:06so I'm really blessed my husband
14:08he's been really supportive knowing breastfeeding is something that I feel passionate about
14:13and
14:13and I as a mother can say that this is my motherly intuition
14:18I do think that Charlotte is closer to the kids
14:23they have
14:24they have
14:25a bond
14:26that has come from this breastfeeding
14:28that
14:29words really can't describe
14:31I didn't know that it was going to go on
14:33this long
14:34and so
14:35I like to think that I'm not very selfish
14:37but
14:38there are times where
14:40I'm human
14:41I want my time with my wife
14:42and
14:43sometimes that has been affected by breastfeeding
14:48we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:50we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:51we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:52we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:53we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:54we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:55we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:56we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:57we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:58we just try and juggle everything as we can
14:59we just try and juggle everything as we can
15:00we just try and juggle everything as we can
15:01we just try and juggle everything as we can
15:02we just try and juggle everything as we can
15:03we just try and juggle everything as we can
15:04we just try and juggle everything as we can
15:05we just try and juggle everything as we can
15:06we just try and juggle everything as we can
15:07babies. How far would you go? Is there a cut off of you?
15:12Ah, the longer you breastfeed, the benefits increase. So as long as they're still willing, then
15:17we'll keep going. I do worry because I'm getting older.
15:22You know, my milk supply is lessening, but I'll seek out the help that I need to help support
15:27me through that.
15:27Because for right now, there's nothing that would stop me from continuing to break.
15:32Breastfeed my kids.
15:33Oh.
15:34Oh.
15:35Oh.
15:37Oh.
15:38Oh.
15:39Oh.
15:40Oh.
15:41Oh.
15:42Oh.
15:43Oh.
15:44Oh.
15:45Oh.
15:46Oh.
15:47Oh.
15:48Oh.
15:49Oh.
15:50Oh.
15:51Oh.
15:52Oh.
15:53Oh.
15:54Oh.
15:55Oh.
15:56Oh.
15:57Oh.
15:58Oh.
16:00Oh.
15:57Jayden, is this really good?
16:02Blue.
16:03What else is it?
16:04Is it like sugar?
16:05No.
16:06In my opinion-
16:07Everyone has their own weird traits.
16:08There are people who are doing far worse things like doing drugs.
16:11I only-
16:12I only eat hot glue and I think that's pretty safe in comparison.
16:15If you guys want to try it-
16:17I would not like to partake.
16:19No, no, no.
16:20Obviously hot glue is not something-
16:22that you're supposed to be eating.
16:24I mean-
16:25I just- I've never seen her-
16:27do it.
16:28And I mean-
16:29it's ridiculous.
16:32Oh, don't give me that lip.
16:35You're not meant to eat-
16:37plastic.
16:38You're not meant to eat micro-plastics.
16:39They're not meant to be in your body and when you ingest them-
16:42bad things happen.
16:43Oh, this would be-
16:44this would be glorious.
16:45Alright, hang on.
16:46I'm gonna wrap that up.
16:47Wait, it's almost here.
16:48It's disgusting.
16:49Oh, whatever.
16:50You guys seem a little judgy.
16:53Really?
16:54You don't think eating-
16:55that-
16:56stick of glue-
16:57is bad for you.
16:58I'm having, like, pooping issues, but-
17:00like, constipation-
17:02I can't imagine why.
17:03But that's, like, the only issue.
17:04I can't imagine why.
17:05I can't imagine why.
17:07I don't see eating hot glue as a problem, but, um, I'm very constipated.
17:12I have been since freshman year of high school.
17:15The longest I've went with-
17:17without having a bowel movement was over two weeks.
17:20I tried a lot of lack-
17:22and it eventually all came out.
17:25So that's good.
17:27Have you, like, told anybody about this?
17:29Or, like, your family?
17:31My mom knows.
17:32My sister knows.
17:33They see me.
17:34I'm healthy.
17:35I'm fine.
17:36So they don't really think it's an issue.
17:37Only for food-
17:37she doesn't really know is my grandma.
17:39Your grandma lives with you, right?
17:40Yeah, she lives with you, right?
17:41Yeah, she lives officially.
17:42moved in with us, like, two weeks ago.
17:44And you don't think she's gonna find out?
17:46Um...
17:47Not if I'm sneaky enough.
17:50I think she deserves to-
17:52No.
17:53I just don't see how that could help her in any way.
17:55That would only cause her to be worried.
17:57I just don't see what good that would do.
18:02If I told my grandma about my hot glue eating habits,
18:05I do think she'd be very concerned.
18:07It just seems useless for her to have something to worry about.
18:10Like, why tell her if I'm not gonna do anything-
18:12about it.
18:13This piece of equipment here-
18:17Here is our rotary die cutters.
18:19This is a big process.
18:21This is a big process.
18:22Yes, it is.
18:23When I see this one's cardboard, it makes me wanna taste it.
18:27It makes you wanna taste it.
18:28I don't like the shit.
18:29Let's see it.
18:30I don't know what I mean.
18:32You don't swallow it, do you?
18:34I do swallow it.
18:35I cannot believe this.
18:37You don't swallow it.
18:42You don't swallow it.
18:47So today I'm going to the packaging store.
18:52Check out some new boxes to see which ones I like best.
18:56Usually I can find bucks for free, but sometimes I like to buy new ones.
19:01Hi, Gary.
19:02Hello, Miss Tiffany.
19:03How are you?
19:04Nice to meet you.
19:05Welcome to New Tech.
19:06So, Terry, what are you looking for boxes for?
19:09For my construction business.
19:11We need boxes.
19:12Well, that's great.
19:13Well, you've definitely come to the right place then.
19:16I like these right here.
19:17Yeah?
19:18Are you ready to take a tour?
19:19Yes.
19:20All right, great.
19:21Let's go.
19:22Well, today I just wanted to...
19:27show Terry how boxes are made, show them around our facility, and see if he had any questions.
19:32about the processes.
19:33So, this is our warehousing area.
19:37So, these are all boxes that are ready to ship out to our customers.
19:41So, these are all boxes that are ready to ship out to our customers.
19:42When I see this one's cardboard, it makes me want to taste it.
19:47So, this piece of equipment here is our rotary die.
19:52This is a big process.
19:53Yes, it is.
19:54What y'all do with the scraps?
19:56We just...
19:57mail them and recycle them.
19:58You know, get a piece.
19:59Sure, yeah.
20:03What's the cardboard made of?
20:05Paper.
20:06It's just a...
20:07thick paper.
20:08Do it thick?
20:09How it tastes to a person?
20:12It all seemed perfectly normal until he asked how the box...
20:17has tasted.
20:18I don't think...
20:19but I don't know.
20:23It definitely took me by surprise.
20:25Kind of red flag, obviously.
20:27I've never tried it, so I don't know how it tastes.
20:29It's okay for me to walk around and have a little...
20:32tour of my 7C.
20:33The type of boxes I would like to take with me.
20:35Absolutely!
20:37All right.
20:38New problem.
20:43This was my go-to when I was around 6, 7.
20:46I started eating these.
20:47It's nice and...
20:48They're a bitch too...
20:49No, it's too dusty right there.
20:51I don't...
20:52I don't like these boxes because it's too much dust.
20:54And the dust makes it taste very, very strange.
20:57I don't like these things.
20:58I don't like these things.
21:02When I saw Terry eat the boxes, it's...
21:06It was...
21:07It's a bit strange and a little troubling.
21:10There's chemicals in the processes.
21:12To make the boxes.
21:13Not to mention, when you ship it, like, what sort of environment...
21:17factors could be contaminating it.
21:19Hey, Terry.
21:20Did you find anything you like?
21:22Yes, ma'am.
21:23Go ahead.
21:24I've never eaten cardboard before, but...
21:27I do eat gluten-free bread, and I think that really might be a good alternative for him.
21:32Here's my business card so you can reach out and let me know how you want to move forward with more boxes.
21:37Thank you so much.
21:38I felt complete because I was around the things that I love.
21:42So, to do.
21:58What do you need me to do?
21:59You need some help with something over here or whatever?
22:01I'm good.
22:02For now, try to get something started for dinner.
22:07I've had a few close calls with my grandma in my hot glue eating addiction, and I made a...
22:12purpose not to tell her because she's very protective of me.
22:14She always prays for me at night, which I appreciate.
22:18Hey, guys.
22:19I was just talking about you.
22:20How are you?
22:21Give me a...
22:22I'm good.
22:23How about you?
22:24I'm good, sweetheart.
22:25What y'all doing?
22:26I'm trying to...
22:27Pick something to eat, girl.
22:28Okay?
22:29Ooh.
22:30Hey, baby.
22:31I love my grandma.
22:32But now that my grandma is living with us, it is harder to hide my hot glue eating
22:36addiction habits.
22:37So, I'm just scared that she just might think there's something wrong, wrong with me versus
22:41just, uh...
22:42fun little thing I do.
22:43You alright?
22:44You alright?
22:47Um...
22:48I guess there's something I...
22:53I should tell you, both of you.
22:55I don't really want to tell you, but I did...
22:57talk to my friends, and they've convinced me, um...
23:02I've been having bad stomach aches recently.
23:04Where does it hurt?
23:05Where does it hurt?
23:06Where does it hurt?
23:07It's like, down here.
23:08You know, the average constipation area.
23:12You guys already look a little scared.
23:16You guys scared?
23:17There's something that is going on that might be related.
23:22I am addicted to eating hot glue sticks.
23:27I am addicted to eating Oh, and you feel that there's something new that I know W
23:44I don't know, since about 13.
23:49I never
23:49would have thought in a million years
23:51that Jayden would be chewing on glue sticks.
23:54Or that even it can be an addiction.
23:57And for her to say she's been doing this,
23:59since 13.
24:02Shocking.
24:04Is it?
24:04Because some anxiety or something?
24:08Do you feel good after you eat it?
24:09Right.
24:10Or chew it?
24:11For me, it's more like, you know...
24:13A snack?
24:14Yeah.
24:15Oh, my God.
24:16It's unbelievable.
24:17I'm so...
24:18Yeah, and then...
24:20And you put it in your mouth and you just chew it?
24:22Yep.
24:23Oh...
24:24Oh, my God.
24:26Oh, my God.
24:27Oh, my God.
24:28Oh, my God.
24:30You don't swallow it, do you?
24:32I do swallow it.
24:33You don't.
24:34I do swallow it.
24:35Shut up.
24:36Girl, that's why you're having problems with your bowels.
24:38Seriously.
24:39That could be it.
24:40That's why.
24:41Could be.
24:42That could be it.
24:43My auntie and my grandma...
24:44Are concerned that the hot glue eating addiction is correlated to my constipation and...
24:49bowel issues, but that's not too serious.
24:51Everyone's constipated sometimes, so I'm not too worried.
24:54Oh, wow.
24:55All the methods.
24:56Unbelievable.
24:57Do your mom know?
24:59My mom does know, but I was just scared to tell you guys, because I didn't...
25:04I don't want you guys to, like, you know, just get too scared or make me go to a doctor
25:07for this or...
25:08Well, you...
25:09I'm still going to the doctor.
25:10Yeah.
25:11Well, we'll see.
25:12I don't really think I have to go to the doctor.
25:14for this.
25:15But you've been doing this since she was 13.
25:17Yeah, exactly.
25:18I've been doing this...
25:19I've been doing this since 13.
25:20You're 20 now.
25:21And I'm still here.
25:23That's...
25:24I mean...
25:25I'm still in shape.
25:26It may...
25:27It may affect you later on, Jayden.
25:28I'm going to the doctor.
25:29You're going to have to make me.
25:30I don't want to believe I'm making a 20 year old do something, but...
25:34We're going.
25:35My grandma's really concerned.
25:37She's making me see a doctor.
25:39She wants me to stop, but I just don't see the point of stopping.
25:42I look healthy.
25:43I feel...
25:44I feel healthy.
25:45And I don't care what the doctor says.
25:46I don't plan on quitting eating hot glue.
25:49I'm taking that in your mouth.
25:50Are you going to confiscate the glue gun from me too now?
25:54We're going to wrap this up.
25:55We're going to wrap this up.
25:59Culturally, we are not all that used to seeing people.
26:04Breastfeeding toddlers and beyond.
26:07Breastfeeding is definitely about...
26:09We've got an attachment and that can be hard to break.
26:12You think that's what...
26:14potato chips or something?
26:15What is this doing to your body?
26:17It's not hurting me.
26:18This is not a...
26:19It's okay.
26:20Look, this why...
26:21You need some help.
26:22See, that's why we didn't work out.
26:24We're ready.
26:25Beautiful.
26:26irgendwas
26:27I'm proud to have you again and again.
26:28Amén
26:29Dude
26:34And I want to see, I want you to know how to do this out.
26:39This is a breast milk jewelry making kit.
26:42I'm going to make a necklace with...
26:44my breast milk a keepsake for many years to come.
26:49I was not breastfed as a child.
26:51I was formula fed.
26:52My mom had me later in life, but she...
26:54I struggled to breastfeed, like struggled big time.
26:59This is...
26:59breast milk, so I kind of feel like I'm doing something that she wished she could have done.
27:04So it's kind of, in a way, keeping her legacy going.
27:09It's a...
27:09privilege, I think, to be able to have breastfed this long,
27:12because a lot of moms wished they could, and they couldn't.
27:14And I am very proud of my body and the fact that God...
27:19allowed me to continue as long as I have.
27:22I know that I have to be very diligent.
27:24about taking my vitamins and making sure I'm eating protein so I can make sure that the...
27:29milk is going to be pure and perfect, and that's hard, but we do hard things.
27:34Let's see how it turned out.
27:36Ah, it's so pretty.
27:39It's like a real special thing to have a living piece of jewelry.
27:43If I was told that...
27:44that I had to stop breastfeeding, oh man, that would be a hard pill to swallow.
27:49I do worry about being able to keep up my milk supply, and today I'm eating...
27:54with a lactation consultant to make sure I'm doing everything I can to keep myself going.
27:59So I can continue to produce that liquid gold for my kids.
28:04I'm in.
28:06Okay.
28:07Tell me about...
28:09Tell me about your breastfeeding relationship with your kids.
28:12Well, we are still breastfeeding...
28:14We've been going strong now, gosh, nearly seven years total.
28:19I've always been wanting to make sure I'm up on my iron and my ferritin levels.
28:23Okay.
28:24Make sure that...
28:24that all those levels are good.
28:26My dream was to be able to, um...
28:29sustain my own desire to breastfeed until they were ready to stop.
28:34Or...
28:34look into other ways to supplement myself.
28:37Breastfeeding...
28:38really...
28:39is taxing both emotionally and physically, especially when you have an older child.
28:43I know cold...
28:44culturally, we are not all that used to seeing people, uh, breastfeeding.
28:49between toddlers and beyond.
28:50It's not the norm to see...
28:54somebody feeding an older child or a toddler even.
28:58But...
28:59Breastfeeding...
28:59is definitely about an attachment and a connection with parent and child.
29:03And...
29:04that can be hard to break.
29:05Do you feel like you and your husband are on the same page with it?
29:08Yeah.
29:09That ebbs and flows sometimes, but, uh...
29:11right now, absolutely.
29:12And it's been this way for a while.
29:13Okay.
29:14Do you have plans when you would like to stop?
29:17Or...
29:18is there a stopping point?
29:19that you have envisioned?
29:20Uh...
29:21at this point, no.
29:22I...
29:23I don't think there's any...
29:24harm in...
29:25maybe nursing an eight-year-old or a nine-year-old.
29:27I don't think there's any harm in maybe nursing an eight-year-old or a nine-year-old.
29:29And I don't think anybody wants to imagine their children breastfeeding.
29:35into adulthood.
29:36So...
29:37at some point...
29:39we know, as parents, there must be a stopping place.
29:42And for children who don't...
29:44want to stop breastfeeding, they may just know this one way to soothe themselves and having...
29:49more tools in order to cope makes for a more...
29:52healthy individual, as they...
29:54to grow up.
29:55And what if it...
29:56extended into...
29:57I mean...
29:58double...
29:59double digits, do you have any...
30:00I mean...
30:01is there any point at...
30:02Yeah.
30:03which you feel like it is to...
30:04hold?
30:05I'll reassess as things happen, but I love that I can...
30:08I don't have to make a decision now.
30:10We can just see how it...
30:11how it goes.
30:13I don't have to have a hard stop.
30:15The body does need energy, as well as extra...
30:18calories in a day to...
30:20be able to make the milk and still keep you healthy.
30:23So...
30:24continue to keep track on your own health and your own self...
30:28care to make sure that your body...
30:30is getting what it needs so that it can provide for the others.
30:33And...
30:34my dream is to let my kids...
30:36wean on their own when they're ready.
30:38I do know that...
30:39that time is coming.
30:40Uh...
30:41but...
30:42as far as I am now...
30:43I don't have a plan to stop.
30:44Can we put it back?
30:45Can we put it back?
30:46Can we put it back?
30:47Ooh!
30:48Okay.
30:49Can I put some on my milky bit?
30:50Yeah.
30:51Okay.
30:52Okay.
30:54Bye.
31:15When I come to the training house, I usually cut the grass.
31:20I trim the sidewalk.
31:22Any things you need done, I'm there.
31:24The only person who knows about me eating cardboard is my son's mom.
31:30We was talking one day, and I just stuck a piece of cardboard in my mouth.
31:34I'm not thinking, and she's like, what you doing?
31:39Then she found my whole mustache, and she threw away the ones that I had in my car.
31:44And she's like, what do you do?
31:45I don't know.
31:46I don't know.
31:47I don't know.
31:48I don't know.
31:49I don't know.
31:50I don't know.
31:51I don't know.
31:52I don't know.
31:53I don't know.
31:54I don't know.
31:55I don't know.
31:56I don't know.
31:57I don't know.
31:58Oh, it's looking nice out here.
32:00I have some things for you to do.
32:02in the house as well.
32:03When you get done out here, it seems like you're almost done.
32:06Yeah.
32:07I need you to mount Terry's TV in his room on a wall.
32:11Okay.
32:12Okay.
32:17You think that's potato chips or something?
32:19Like, that's not food.
32:21It is for me.
32:22Mm-hmm.
32:25So you got one.
32:26One.
32:27Two.
32:28Three.
32:29This is not okay.
32:30Look, this one.
32:31You need some help.
32:32You need help.
32:33See, that's why we didn't work out.
32:35I know Terry too.
32:37It could be sneaky, but I'm concerned what it does to his body, how it affects his health.
32:42How can it be corrected?
32:43How soon can it be corrected?
32:46What is this doing?
32:47I can see your body.
32:48It's not hurting me.
32:49It makes me physically stronger.
32:52This is not protein.
32:53It gotta be.
32:54It's not bad for me.
32:55I'm perfectly fine.
32:56I'm healthy.
32:57No, that's why you be constipated.
33:02Oh, Trina.
33:03Being addicted to eating cowboy heads has infected my .
33:07relationships.
33:08One time, my girlfriend think I'm out with another woman.
33:12But I'm just in the park, chilling, eating cowboy.
33:15Who are the .
33:17Who knows about that?
33:18Your mom know?
33:19I don't want to tell nobody.
33:21Who you know?
33:22I don't need to tell everybody.
33:23Because we all need to get you some help because this is not right.
33:26Trina, I don't want to tell-
33:27There's nobody.
33:28We all love you.
33:29We care about you.
33:30And we're here to support you.
33:32And if you do not tell your mother, I'm .
33:37I don't want to tell her.
33:38I don't really want to tell nobody that I'm a .
33:42eating cowboy because I'm afraid they're going to feel embarrassed about me.
33:47But Trina's starting to tell my family.
33:49I'm going to tell them before she does because she's .
33:52going to blow out all out of proportion.
33:55I'm going to tell them.
33:57You better hurry up and tell her.
33:58I'm going to let her know.
33:59Okay.
34:00Don't eat no more of this stuff.
34:02Why are you over here?
34:03All this is going in the garbage.
34:04All this is going in the garbage.
34:05All this is going in the garbage.
34:07I've been wanting to tell you this for years.
34:09I'm addicted to eating cardboard.
34:11What?
34:12It was shocking.
34:13Jaden, what brings you in today?
34:15I have a hot glue eating addiction.
34:17Plastic is going to stay in your body forever.
34:19You're not ever going to be able to digest it.
34:22want to drink and drink.
34:27You
34:34I'm tired of carrying around a secret...
34:37So I am going to tell my mom that I'm addicted to eating cardboard because I'm ready to get it off my chest.
34:42You know what you like?
34:45Well, they ain't got what I like.
34:47Pinto beans, hot bone, ton of green beans.
34:51Oh, yeah.
34:52All that kind of stuff.
34:53Soul food.
34:57I'm worried a little bit how my mom will feel, but I'll face the judgment.
35:03I have to tell you something.
35:06When you been getting married?
35:07No.
35:08No.
35:12I've been wanting to tell you this for years.
35:17But I haven't...
35:20I couldn't...
35:22Get the courage to tell you.
35:26I'm addicted to that.
35:27I'm eating cardboard.
35:32I'm addicted.
35:35Doing what?
35:36What?
35:37You say?
35:38I'm addicted to eating cardboard.
35:41When you...
35:42I started all this stuff.
35:43I started around when I was six years old.
35:46I seen a...
35:47a piece of cardboard.
35:48I picked it up and sticked it in my mouth.
35:50And it was good to me.
35:51And it became...
35:52It became a habit.
35:53It became a habit.
35:56It became a habit.
35:57I did not know that he was addicted to eating cardboard.
36:02It was shocking.
36:03It was shocking.
36:06I'm cooking.
36:07I can make eggs with it.
36:08I can make a piece collar with it.
36:09What?
36:10I can put it on pizza.
36:12Wait a minute.
36:13It's a lot of things I can do with it.
36:14But it has the good and flavor.
36:16Flavor?
36:17What kind of flavor?
36:18You said flavor?
36:19It's a flavor I can't describe.
36:22That's why he didn't tell anybody.
36:24I was embarrassed of when somebody in my...
36:27What do you say to me?
36:30I'm raised in a little...
36:32What kind of love and understanding?
36:33I don't know.
36:34I guess he just didn't feel like he come to me.
36:37He didn't talk to me about it.
36:38Probably feel I would just...
36:39I'd go off on him or something.
36:41No.
36:42But if he had come to me and talked to me about it,
36:44I would have been understanding with him about it.
36:46And to see...
36:47What could we do to solve the problem?
36:49Son, I don't know.
36:50I just...
36:51I don't know what to say.
36:52I am worried.
36:53I've been going and doing this...
36:54I don't know what to say.
36:55I am worried.
36:56I've been going and doing this...
36:57So long.
36:58It's going to be a hard process to get him to stop.
37:02I love you and I don't want to see nothing happen.
37:07I think by talking to the family about it.
37:10Have a meeting.
37:11A family meeting.
37:12I'm going to discuss all this.
37:13Yes, ma'am.
37:15Um...
37:16And I think...
37:17It's going to be hard to stop.
37:19But, um...
37:20I'm willing to see...
37:22Big help.
37:23First step for me is winging myself.
37:27Off of four bags.
37:28I'm going to have to take it one day at a time.
37:32Bye.
37:33Bye.
37:34Bye.
37:37I'll see you next time.
37:42Bye.
37:47Bye.
37:52Bye.
37:57It's hot out.
37:59Yeah, it is.
38:01My grandma really wanted me.
38:02To go see this doctor, she knew if I didn't drive here, then I wouldn't have even went.
38:06Hi.
38:07Hello.
38:08Hi.
38:09I scheduled an appointment for my granddaughter.
38:11Okay.
38:12Hello.
38:13Welcome.
38:14Hi.
38:16And talking to everyone made me realize that there could be something that's building
38:19up that I don't know about.
38:20I don't want to hear that.
38:21I can't imagine life.
38:22I don't want to hear that.
38:23I can't imagine life without eating hot glue.
38:26So, it's just a thing I do every day.
38:29I don't think I could stop it.
38:31All right.
38:32So, what brings you in today?
38:34Um, so, my grandma forced me.
38:36Because I have a hot glue eating addiction and she's concerned for what it's doing.
38:41to me.
38:42She thinks it's affecting me.
38:46I don't think it's affecting me.
38:47But, for her peace of mind, I'm here today just to make sure everything's fine.
38:50Okay.
38:51Well, grandma, thank you for bringing her.
38:52I'm glad you brought her.
38:53You're welcome.
38:54And when did you start?
38:56Eating hot glue sticks.
38:57At around 13 years old.
38:59So, it's been a while.
39:00So...
39:01Have you had any health problems?
39:03Constipation or diarrhea or stomach pain?
39:06I do have pretty bad constipation.
39:08The longest I went without pooping is over.
39:11For two weeks.
39:12Okay.
39:13So, basically, when you eat the glue stick or...
39:16any type of plastic.
39:17Stomach acid peels away the coating layer of the plastic.
39:21Which releases a bunch of different chemicals.
39:24They are toxic every...
39:26Every one of them is not meant for us to eat them.
39:28And those chemicals are going to cause you to develop...
39:31fertility problems.
39:32It can cause stomach cancer.
39:34It can cause brain problems.
39:36But the plastic itself...
39:38It's going to stay in your body forever.
39:39You're not ever going to be able to...
39:41digest it.
39:42I don't just poop it out like whole...
39:45No.
39:46You won't.
39:47Oh.
39:48That is...
39:51It's eventually going to cause you to get a blockage in your colon.
39:54And about 50% of the people who have...
39:56a blockage...
39:57die.
39:58Because they don't get to the hospital fast enough.
40:02Yeah, that's pretty...
40:03pretty bad then.
40:04Yeah.
40:05It's pretty scary, isn't it?
40:06I know I always say, if I feel good, then I'm good.
40:10But...
40:11Today, the doctor told me that I do run a really bad risk...
40:14of getting a bowel obstruction that...
40:16could kill me.
40:17That was pretty jarring.
40:18Do you mind if I feel your belly?
40:21And you can just breathe normal.
40:23Does any of this hurt if I push on here for you?
40:25Nope.
40:26Okay.
40:27What if I push in here?
40:28Okay.
40:29Yeah, that hurts.
40:30Okay.
40:31What about over here?
40:32Nope.
40:33Okay.
40:31Okay.
40:32So this side of the splatter, you probably notice it caves in a little bit.
40:35But this side of your ab...
40:36the abdomen is a lot firmer and a lot larger.
40:38So that tells me that what's going in the...
40:41the hot glue sticks is getting stuck in this part of the colon.
40:44So this area is already compromised.
40:46My guess is by feeling this, you're starting to develop a blockage here.
40:50Oh, yeah.
40:51Okay.
40:51Yeah.
40:52Jaden is at a significant risk.
40:56For permanent colon issues, a rupture which could cause her to die.
41:01And impending cancer.
41:03It's in my opinion that it's not if she...
41:06when she develops cancer, it's when she's going to develop cancer,
41:09because of the amount of chemicals that she's exposed herself.
41:11At this point, the amount of glue sticks and plastics that you've been eating...
41:16you may still need a surgical procedure to remove them because of the amount of plastics that you...
41:21you've had consumed over your lifetime so far.
41:24So are you willing to take...
41:26take a step to try to not consume the plastics?
41:29To make a difference for that?
41:31Um...
41:32I...
41:33She's looking at me.
41:35Um...
41:36I could...
41:37I could try and...
41:38Would it help if I just, like, lowered the intake?
41:40It would help immensely if...
41:41you lowered the intake, but it's still not going to take away your wrist.
41:44I am heavily considered...
41:46considering stopping eating hot glue sticks...
41:49just because I don't really want to die.
41:51And I'm really worried about my grandmother's reaction,
41:54because for me to look over during the doctor...
41:56like, I know her face before she cries.
41:58She was looking like she was getting there.
41:59It's like I'm hurting her.
42:01If I'm hurting myself.
42:02I...
42:03I think she got the point.
42:04I know I did.
42:05And I'm gonna...
42:06I know I'm still on top of her about this, for sure.
42:11Because my grandmother told her you're...
42:13I would limit the reflection and bring her the panel together.
42:15But if you film...
42:16I also like her ear...
42:16I think it's going to be hard
42:20just because I do it so
42:21habitually I do it without thinking
42:23I do it before I go to sleep
42:24I do it when I wake up
42:25but
42:26I have a lot I want to do
42:27I want to become a psychologist
42:29and I do want to have kids
42:31one day
42:31and I can't really do that
42:33if I'm dead
42:36I can't really do that
