It seems her vagina was being blurred in the part I watched so far. She was wearing a shirt and nothing else and the boy was in and out of the room. Is it always on display? These people never seem to wear pants or underwear and never seem to mind. I want to start a pants/underwear line for the 600+ set just to make viewing more tolerable.

Addicted to Food eta: thought they were saying this show was filmed in OH never mind

The show was filmed in Buffalo Gap, Texas at Shades of Hope.

James K's car broke down and the apartment complex wanted to tow it away. I don't know about you, but that would cause me to gain 157 lbs. at least...

I've been on ADs my entire adult life. I'm almost 40 and have never had problems with my weight.

They use the 12 Steps there, so they could definitely follow up with OA. This facility was featured on the OWN network show "Addicted to Food" if anyone can find it online...you're my new BFF! They filmed about 7 people...most were overweight. Such a good show!

$700/day is probably significantly less than they're paying to sit in a hospital all day, and she'd get programming specific to her problem all day long and controlled meals. It lasts for 42 days.

The point is, if they're going to spend thousands to hospitalize them just to get them to stop eating, they should throw in some treatment of their brain that got them into the situation to begin with. They have rehabs for anorexics, why not build a rehab for 600 lb people? Tennie at Shades of Hope (which I believe is in Texas) specializes in overeaters). These facilities exist. http://shadesofhope.com/

I think keeping her in a psych hospital would be a better use of funds. All of this is wasted until they get to the emotional root of the problem, whatever that may be. The failure isn't 100% Liz's fault (or any of theirs, except ASSanti). They need fucking serious psychological help. They ate their way into a state of non-functioning and haven't been a part of society in decades, in some cases. Here we have people who can't even roll over, for Christ's sakes. This is a psychological problem. No normal person keeps eating until they are shitting on themselves and they can't even sit ont he edge of a bed, and then continues to eat. Get them psychological help, ASAP, or you're just wasting everyone's resources.

Sadly, if she has no education, she's probably not qualified to do a whole lot of jobs that don't involve standing for long periods of time. I guess she could do customer service, but from what I hear, it's a plethora of snacking, so that probably wouldn't be very helpful. I worked in a nursing home with a morbidly obese woman. You legally can't stop them from ordering food most of the time. This one would share lol. I don't know her history- if she had savings or what, but she ordered in quite frequently. They have rights, to a certain extent. They're not all Assantis (kicked out for ordering pizza). I kind of liked this episode. When she talked about how hard it is to face all the BS she had to deal with that she avoided with food for so many years, it was one of the most honest and accurate descriptions of addiction and the fear of recovery I've ever heard on this show. I think the saddest part of the episode was it appeared the room she was living in before she went to Houston didn't even have a window.

Are you saying 500 calories is a half day's worth of calories??? Oh...Vudu can just kiss my ass. I bought episode 1 of the family show and it won't let me watch it in the app. I'm back to iTunes. Don't waste your time or money!

According to some on the show, this means you can literally never get out of bed again. Ever. I'm sorry. Just find someone reliable to bring you friiiied rice and two egg rolls. The type of person who will remember dessert. You'll be fine.

How did he appear on Geraldo? Lying down?

I think I'm burned out on this show. When Alicia said Tim was a drug addict, my first thought was, "too bad he didn't get her hooked on coke or crystal meth...then I wouldn't have to sit through another hour of this."
