Man, his shins look awful. I hope that goes away as his circulation improves with weight loss, but I don't know.

Did others get the boxed wine commercial? I don't drink, but my sister is a great friend of the boxed wine. This was her Christmas tree a few years ago. I may have posted it before.

None of these people have manners. Hi, I'm Dr Now. Hello, Dr Now, I'm Aliya, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is my mother, Aliyasmom. How hard is that? Shoot - I just posted about that! Drives me nuts.

Wha? Was dad sleeping with him in the hotel???

Kerosene drawers! We need the kerosene drawers over here!

I don't say this to be snarky, but I think the guy needs to be on oxygen.

I'm gonna say this - I have never been a fan of sports. I don't like how football players are treated like kings, from high school on. I saw some nasty stuff go on at Michigan where the players got away with all kinds of physical abuse and drugs when others would have been expelled. I understand maybe his school couldn't give him a full scholarship anymore (and why are we doing that?) if he's not playing, but he got injured playing for them. At least give some tuition or something. Assuming they can actually do college academics, no one should have to drop out because they got injured playing sports for their school. He's another one who says he loves his kids, but actually, he doesn't love them, or himself, enough to lose weight. I'm not sympathetic to these people anymore. Wow - I'm listening to him breathe just getting into the van. Awful.

Not gonna lie - that sounds like a lot of our Mormon couples. The guy comes back from his mission and boom!

Dunno. But you'd think a lumberjack slam pack would be enough food for anyone. All of this COVID-related food delivery is going to be the undoing of a lot of people. It's kind of sad to see, actually.

Hmm. I'm pretty sure dat is not on de program.

Happy early Thanksgiving! My pre-holiday eating habit was salmon w/teriyaki, steamed zucchini, and a small thing of Wholly Guacamole.

Shoot. I leave the room for a minute and it's the end of the show. She looks like she's doing well. She got a job? Good for her; better than a lot of patients. I guess I missed the robot thing. I'll have to look it up. See y'all next week!

I understand she may need to bring the kids w/her to appointments, but she needs to stop talking to them about her health issues. They aren't adults, her spouse, nor her companions. They can't help, they don't know what weight loss or gain means for mom, etc. That little boy hiding his face in his hands shows he's too involved. And because I'm the worst person on the planet - tell the kids to sit down and be quiet while the adults talk. Then we go for ice cream!

OK. Now I'm not liking the orange hair as much.

Shoot. Where are the Depends when you need them? 😆

I learned that is also true for vets with PTSD. Everywhere will be better. We moved all over the damned country before I put my foot down.

Wait - Romante (whatever) left? He left his child?

My son would get aggravated if I asked him what he wanted for dinner, pretty much right after we'd both arrived at work. 😁 He didn't understand that dinner was on my mind every day. He sure ate every day. Maybe it's a mom thing. The missionary sisters call me once a week since I'm still too nervous to go to church. I always ask, "Have you eaten yet? What did you have for dinner? Do you girls need any food?" 😄

I think she said she does call center work part time. I don't know what he does. Maybe they can both work from home or he has some easily transferable skill.

People move all the time, with kids. Shut up.

Most will never diet long enough to lose all the weight they need to lose. They have physical problems that will kill them before they lose the weight. Many can't move very much and need to lose significant weight quickly so they can add exercise to their program and live long enough to meet their goal. It's complicated.

It's on amazon. It's a little expensive. If you read the sample, he has a lot of background info on obesity and emotions/attitudes that make for successful weight loss. I bet it's not bad if you've never heard any of this before. It's not just a calorie count book.

Where are the kerosene soaked drawers when you need them?

She going to turn around and pop Raymonte if he keeps it up. "The scale does not lie." I think people have been stabbed for less.

Is that orange thing some kind of head scarf? Orange braids? Normally, that kind of thing would make me judgmental, but I kinda like it.
