I have that voice too. I like to shut it up with cookies.

Anybody else see these folks get on a plane and wonder how the hell they navigate the teeny tiny bathroom? I'm nowhere near 600 pounds and I feel like fat guy on a little toilet on a plane. I would not go anywhere near an airplane bathroom if I was that size. And holy crap. It's taking two guys pushing with all their might to get her through the airport. That has to be so embarrassing. But Lacey seems to be taking it in stride.

Poooouuuunnndddeeerrrrs!!! I'm late and trying to play catch up. Eating habit is dill pickle chips and chicken strips because I'm eating my feelings tonight. This week is only 3 days in and feels like I've lived through Wednesday about 7 times. Oh boy. I have thoughts tonight. Haven't organized them quite yet but this looks like it's going to be a helluva ride. You can just feel that the dynamic between Lacey and her mother is going to create some serious sparks. I'mma fasten my seatbelt and grab the virtual "oh shit" bar and hold on...

The white pants were a brave choice.

So it's 10 minutes into the first episode of this show I've ever watched and I already can't stand Casey. *buckles seat belt* Ooooh, this is gonna be a helluva ride!

Night Pounders! Think I'm gonna go check out the Family By The Ton forum. Looks like lots to snark on with this show. See you next week!

I meant it didn't seem to accomplish anything as far his mother having an epiphany about what she's done to him and how it's affected him his entire life. I hope saying what he needed to say finally gives him the freedom to let go of the hope that he's been harboring. He's doing great and I don't want to see him fail because he's pinned his hopes on her changing.

Oh please oh please oh please oh please!!!!

I'm glad Justin thought that went well because I thought it accomplished exactly nothing. I hope he can learn to stand on his own and not wait for his mother to start mothering him. I think that ship sailed a long time ago.

You were watching it for tips on cooking in bed. It's okay. You're safe here, you can admit it. *wink*

Ooooh, I don't know how this is going to go. I'm worried that it's not going to go well and he's going to backslide.

I just wanna put him in my pocket! He's so little and cute!

*crosses fingers for Dr. Baby Voice*

Probably! She gave us a lot of good sound bites.

I know. I'm kinda bored. Not a single "WHERE'S MY YELLOW BRICK ROAD???" or "OW, MAH LAAAAYGGG!"

Wow, he's doing great! I thought there would be a gain for sure. But good for him for sticking to it through everything he's been doing. (I'm giving you the side eye, Octavia, with your excuses of "I just moved" and "It's too soon, I wasn't ready" and my favorite, "My life has been too hectic to lose weight!")

Yeah, what’s with Dr. Now requiring them to have someone to live with them for an entire year??? Seems ridiculously excessive.

Hey Pounders! I’m sooooo late tonight. I didn’t actually realize the new season had started and missed the first 3 episodes. My eating habit tonight might get me my own episode of this show: Sloppy joe cheesesteak fries. I caught up on missed episodes today today and the recurring theme seems to be either boring and compliant or semi-combative and such a delay there’s barely any progress by the end of the show. I hope this season isn’t a snooze fest.

So I guess that means we're going to be treated to a part FOUR of Sean and Dottie??? I don't think I have it in me. Nighty night, Pounders! See you next week! Keep those eating habit under control!

Sean is rapidly decompensating. This is not ever going to end with him "getting back on track". He's going to become James. Except he doesn't have a Lisa or Baylee to help him.

Am I remembering correctly watching Sean's mother explain to someone that he had an injury in high school that didn't heal right and he basically just got in his bed and never left it again? NOT that I'm saying that excuses anything. But I do think it played perfectly into his mother's...syndrome...(I truly believe there was some serious Munchausen's by Proxy going on there) and allowed her to baby him and keep him "sick" for whatever her reasons were. The absent husband/father; the giant "baby" keeping her in the center of attention as the only one who *knew* him; I think she reveled in the notoriety of being the hero for the sick manbaby. I've always pushed the idea of responsibility on my kids. They don't always like it or cooperate, but they know how to do dishes and run the vacuum and washing machine and dryer. They also know how to prepare simple meals for themselves. My husband was 25 when we got married and his mother still did all his laundry for him. There was no way I was raising my kids to be clueless like that. Sean's mother did him a serious disservice and now she's not here to pick up the pieces of the broken man she created.

I was thinking hopefully Adult Protective Services will be called in. There's no way he's going to be able to get this fixed on his own. I felt so bad for him walking in and seeing all of his stuff had been ruined. I'm guessing he held on to a lot of that stuff as a substitute for his mother. That had to be devastating for him But OMG, walking through flood areas in his bare feet??? I'm shuddering just thinking about that.

WHY DID THAT GALL BLADDER LOOK LIKE IT WAS FILLED WITH CORN??????? That's at the top of the list of things I did NOT need to see before I die.

I can't help but think that Sean's mudder may have broken him completely. He literally has no idea how to function on even the most basic level.

Well, he IS single now, so she's got a fighting chance at winning his heart! (I may or may not have thrown up in my mouth a little imagining him walking along the highway in his dingy wife beater and ankle-length jorts.)
