Zzzzz. Houseful of really fat people enabling an overgrown obnoxious baby?! Me, me, me. This is becoming a pattern...

Omg did I see two urinals on his hospital bedside table next to his food?! As in right next to his food? 🤮 One advantage to a 100 pound ball of fat is a built-in tray! This one made me quite ill...

Omg thanks guys. As soon as I finished watching I had to come here. Pretty much all my reactions you guys covered! That forehead is beyond distracting! There is no way that’s fat. I am mad at myself for letting weight creep up on me (put on 25 pounds over 6 years😡). I run 3 miles 3-4 days a week and count calories but here I am again! My point is it’s my fault - just like it’s their fault. I agree the mother has no room to talk - she is morbidly obese also. No mention of any of the other siblings? I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts (boy that’s a poor choice of words!) they are all obese too.

My only real concern is where oh where is that adorable little dog?! Poor thing! Same old tired story - “woe is me I have had a horrible life”. I grow weary at watching these completely selfish overgrown babies who are eating themselves to death! 99% of them do not work and live off others in their families. They then expect said families to uproot and move to Houston, set up a new living space and get jobs - all for these selfish people and to “support” them (hate that freaking term). This one was especially selfish - after everything Erica did for her - moved, financially supported her, etc. I personally think Dr. Now is asking too much by demanding “support” and a move to Houston. These people need tough love - not constant support!

And his cane covered with a baby wipe?! Eeegads I will never get that thought out of my head! 🤮Shouldn’t you have a “special” cane dedicated just for your toilet use?!

Yes! I agree! I have been an extremely neurotic person since childhood. I obsess over my loved ones constantly and am wracked with fear for them. I have numerous irrational fears and phobias. As far back as I can recall I have been this way. I live with the feeling of a knot in my stomach 24/7. I am also a driven perfectionist with high standards for myself and I like to think this has served me well in my professional life. I figure it’s just how I am made. I refuse to go on mild-altering drugs just to make me into something “normal.

I have not finished the episode yet but wow! She had FECES in the folds of her skin?!?!🤮🤮🤮🤮 The poor hospital workers and just yuck! Secondly I guess smoking does not keep your weight in check! Lastly, why oh why do these people lie about their food intake? Seriously?! I love how she slipped one day and gained 30 pounds.

I am playing armchair psychiatrist here: These men must have severe “mother” issues and they like to be submissive OR they like having someone be so dependent on them. It is truly astonishing that most of these enormous, self-centered women can find decent men that they absolutely do not appreciate one iota. Unrelated but did anyone notice she kept saying GOALbladder?

Oh my gosh!! I’m at a loss for words about this giant baby!!! Blaming him for her not losing weight? He had a life in Oregon that he gave up to help her and she has zero appreciation! She got herself into this mess so she should get herself out. I don’t agree with this “support” Dr. Now insists on. I say some tough love is what they need. Expecting people to move there is ridiculous by itself but expecting a family member to uproot is just crazy.

Yes - like the equivalent of a Whopper and large fries but with a DIET Coke. I actually got angry watching this 38-year-old BABY sitting around doing nothing but eat all day with a “staff” of people keeping her that way. I feel bad for her parents that this is their child. No job, no motivation to do or become anything. Sad really.

Venting: These people whine incessantly about pain that they have caused! They baby themselves and won’t push through any type of discomfort. I hurt my knee when I fell while running. It killed me to run afterwards but I pushed through. The constant whining and excuse-making gets old after awhile. I have an actual thyroid issue and out on some weight recently. Most of ur was due to that BUT I own my part in it and am now watching my food intake much more closely. Yes I have had some pretty bad stuff happen to me in my life and can very easily be a 600 pounder if I didn’t get up every single day and exercise control and self-discipline. On another note, did anyone notice the “salad” they were eating? Big hunks if cheese and Ranch dressing?!

Did anyone else want to vomit at the sight of her husband wiping her?🤮 I mean come on. And here we go again with the woe is me story. I have had some very horrific stuff happen to me in my life but I don’t use that as an excuse. Own your bad behaviors as a grown person. Sorry but I have zero sympathy and patience for “victims” who bemoan their lives. I fast forward over the backgrounds because it’s just the same story week after week!

I am glad someone mentioned Sean’s horrific feet! And he never wore shoes anywhere in this episode - I am horrified! Poor me, poor me. I feel bad he lost his mother but the wallowing in this episode is just over-the-top!

I am getting very tired of hearing Dr. Now Talking about these people needing support. I would never dream of asking my parents to allow me and my two children to live with them while I ate myself into oblivion! Kirsten’s parents paid for her to live in Houston for over a year. She does not work and she has dumped her children on to her parents. How. Much more support can they give her?!

Listen I fly a fair amount and I would not EVER go barefoot in an airport. I had to do it once in security and I am still grossed out by it! Even if your feet are swollen you can put shoes on before you leave the plane.

Perhaps this has been asked...anyone notice Betty Jo had no shoes on at the Houston airport? It looked like she was barefoot!

What was up with her using bleach to wash herself?!

I felt bad for Freddy at first but not so much later. Honestly the only sympathy I could muster was for the dog and now I just read how it was treated so I am furious!

I completely agree. Woe is me I had a horrible childhood...she just expects people to move to Houston for a year and continue to wait on her hand and foot? Talk about ungrateful! A few of my observations: 1. WTF is a tater tot casserole?! If I blow my diet it won’t be on that wretched pile of crap. 2. Enough with the nature scenes and corny life quotes at the beginning of each episode. It reminds me of the old “Saturday Night Live” sketch called Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy. 3. I wish Dr. Now would stop saying these people need “support” (ie move to Houston). The suppprt they have received is what has gotten them into this mess. They need tough love! They should be doing this alone to fully realize what it takes. Just my two cents

I grow oh so weary of these people and their “poor me” mentalities. This woman had a sagging udder of pure FAT nearly dragging the ground! This did not happen overnight!!! I have written before that I have survived sexual, physical and verbal abuse and I have battled a weight issue all my life, along with food addiction. I keep myself under control by exercising and trying my hardest not to overeat. I could lose about 30 pounds right now so yeah I am by no means perfect! That said if I watched an udder of fat literally anchoring me I would get my fat self into gear! I cannot believe the audacity of these people either - drop everything and move to Houston and baby me? You got yourself into this mess, grow up and get yourself out! Rant over...

notice she had the balloon implanted outside the U.S.? Probably because they wouldn’t require her to develop healthy eating habits BEFORE getting it done. Note to self: If I am so large I have to lay on the floor of a van to get to the store to buy food, bypass said store entirely and chain me to my bed and feed me Lean Cuisines only. Yes they are horrible but desperate times...

I agree about mom and sis - they were quite obese as well. At the risk of offending anyone from Texas - anyone notice that a large amount of people on this show hail from the Lone Star State? I have struggled with my weight my entire life as has my daughter (despite me HELPING her as a child). She finally changed her life without surgery - went vegan and started working out and lost 90 pounds. You have to want to do it. The majority of people fail after surgery because they think the surgery is a magic bullet.

My goodness! That poor aunt! How on earth could she roll her over? Don’t these people have ANY shame?

Does anyone else fast-forward through the childhood part? Soooo tired of the same blame game! I have struggled with my weight forever - was molested and had an abusive husband. I am an adult! I chose to get control and watch what I eat, exercise and I did it without surgery or blaming everybody under the sun! Sometimes I really think shows like this encourage the “poor-me” victim mentality...really grates on me’

Okay did anyone notice the store sign that read "jewellry" - clearly a Canadian form of the word jewelry. It was during the scene with Mick and his brother outside Sally's Cafe.
