    I'm not criticizing your idea, but I have a couple of questions.

    Would there be an expectation that those tips would be given for free?  Does a paid professional have any responsibility to help an other employee of the same company without being reimbursed for their time and expertise?

    If the advice were to be paid for, wouldn't Leneatha or her insurance have had to pay for it?  Leneatha is not interested in listening to anyone else (we learned that from her visits to Dr. Now), so she's not going to pay for it.  Plus, insurance companies are often not willing to pay for nutritional advice.  We learned this when my brother (obese, but nowhere near 600 pounds) was experiencing a number of health issues that could have been improved by losing weight.  His health insurance (which was pretty good) would not pay for the nutritionist.

    I worked for a hospital that is affiliated with a medical school and the hospital offers a wide variety support programs that are either free or low cost to both employees and patients.  I would think that since Leneatha was an employee at the hospital and a diabetic that she could have at least had a consultation visit with the hospital dietitian/nutritionist even it was on a one time basis.  Or when she was first diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure that the doctor or nurse would have given her advice on how to make healthy eating choices for both herself and daughter, but you are probably correct in saying that Leneatha is not interested in listening to anyone.

  2. I really don’t understand Leneatha’s situation.  She works in a hospital and there had to be a nutritionist on staff that could have given Leneatha tips on how to plan healthy meals for herself and daughter, how to make healthy choices.

    Does anyone have a match handy so I can light my gasoline soaked panties and hop into the handbasket to hell for saying ...

    Joyce looks like Jabba the Hut in drag.

     

    Pass the gasoline and lit match when you finished with them.  I thought the same thing!

  4. “PrincessPurrsALot:

    From what we were shown, she didn't wash below the equator.”

     

    I was thinking the same thing.  I also wonder how much the meal at the diner set Beth back.  It could not have been cheap.

  5. “Carolina Girl:

    That scene in the beginning where Beth, who had worked all day, was ordered to pick up food for the human mountain range (and apparently also the boyfriend that showed up conveniently at dinner time) and wanted to just come home and cook really pissed me off.  Snotted at by Gina when she asked if the lazy mound of fat could call ahead.  NO YOU CALL!  Because apparently dialing the number would take too much out of that sow.

    And then her mother saying "you shouldn't be treated that way."  What the ever loving FUCK??  I turned it off at that point.  I knew it was going to be one of those "I'm doing everything (chomp) I (chomp) can! (chomp).  

    I hope Beth finds someone who appreciates her and divorces that worthless sack of shit.  Anyone have a Twitter address for her? “

    Why couldn’t someone else gone to the diner and picked up dinner? I did not see anyone say thank you to Beth when she brought in the food or offer her any money towards their meal.  In my opinion, Beth seemed beaten down or depressed.  Beth has the patience of Job and she deserves a lot better than Gina.

  6. Was it ever said how Christian and Maja supported themselves?  Did Maja really think she was fooling Christian when she said she out doing errands when in reality she was eating at 4 to 5 fast food restaurants?

    Zoe needs to take her voice down a few notches…she is overly loud, talks over others, and talks excessively.”

    “winsomeone:

    …It is like they are afraid to cross her.  She is just as out of control behavior wise as Will, just in different ways.”

    “BitterApple:

    I agree.  Quite frankly, between the two kids, I prefer Will.  He has his bratty moments but Zoe can be very bossy and manipulative.  Bill and Jen are always walking on eggshells around her, like they’re scared she’ll withhold affection if they don’t let her have her way.”

    I totally agree.  I much prefer Will over Zoey.  I think he has a good heart.

  9. “AZChristian:

    Or maybe Dr. Now is too smart to invest his money in a facility full of potential employees who have demonstrated that the hardest work they want to do is shoveling food into their mouths, with patients who have proven they have no desire to become well enough to be employees.”

    That is a good point

  10. “Trees:

    Every time I watch this show, I think of the business opportunity…A multi-purpose facility in Houston for the morbidly obese!

    • The months Dr. Now keeps somebody in the hospital?  This facility would take them for less $ than the hospital.
    • The patients who need a place to stay briefly for their consults?  Short-term living.
    • Out-patient, open-to-the-public classes on healthy eating, cooking, food awareness, “chair-yoga”, etc.
    • Food addiction treatment out-patient
    • Long-term living, like a nursing, for the morbidly obese, with transport to doctor appointments.  This would allow patients to move their alone instead of with all their families.
    • A ‘go-to” weight loss support “fat farm” camp type of place.”

    I have often wonder wondered about this myself. Another selling point: the therapist(s) could come to the facility and meet with the patient then there would be no way for the patient to skip out on their appointment.  The more mobile patients could also do some type of work at the facility to earn their keep.  Maybe because of the initial cost or logistics trying to get the facility off the ground Dr. Now does not want to do this.

  11. “juliet73:

    All the shows on HGTV are the same:  HH, HHI, HHR, BBH, Lottery Dream Home, Island/Hawaii/Mexico Life.  Then add Property Bros and Love It or List It and that seems to be their lineup.  All.The.Time.  Every.Single.Day.  The network needs to bring back the DESIGN shows:  Designed to Sell, Decorating Cents, Divine Design, Curb Appeal, etc.”

    Amen to this!
