S08.E02: Lindsey's Story LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Lindsey had it all: a white picket fence, a loving husband, a great job. But now her food addiction is threatening to ruin everything. And as she embarks on a weight loss journey to save her life, is her husband a support or an addict himself?

With no prior knowledge, who's voting for addict?  I am.  Otherwise I doubt they would have mentioned it. 

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast and West Coast showings.  Snark along with the show!

Original air date: 2020.01.08

Sorry, Pounders! We're open for business now!

Howdy all!  I was beginning to wonder if we'd have a live chat.

[mmecorday]

Gas station pizza for breakfast.

[ams1001]

Hi all! I wasn't sure if I'd watch tonight because of Jeopardy Greatest of All Time, but last night's episode is available on demand, so I am assuming tonight's will be available tomorrow and I'll be able to watch when I get home from work before the regular game starts. So here I am! Tonight's eating habit: scrambled eggs, honey-wheat toast, and Pepperidge Farm cherry thumbprint cookies. Maybe some Godiva dark chocolate peppermint hot cocoa later. We'll see. And I got to test out my new GreenPan™ (which is actually gray) that I got for Christmas.

And I just refreshed this page about a dozen times waiting for the thread to open. Torture!! So I've been chatting to myself in notepad while I wait.

Another nice house...looks clean, artwork on the walls. (I will refrain from the joke about the giant fork and spoon on the kitchen wall that just flitted through my brain.)

Did we need to see her husband putting his pants on?

He gets her breakfast from the gas station? That can't be anything good. (Pizza...two cups of fries?...giant donut...all have their place but this is not what I call a "meal")

Cheating dad, divorce, dad stole her truck... he sounds like a real peach. (Though still better than what I feared from the comment about "what he did to me next.")

Abusive boyfriend who wanted her to stay fat. 

Prior gastric sleeve procedure and some weight loss. Met husband online. And now they're arguing.

Whew! was wondering. Hi. Ready to snark. Lindsey's father is a certified dick-head.

[Wanda]

Next time my husband wants to know what I’m making for dinner, I’m telling him it’s whatever the gas station is offering

[StitchPunk]

Why was he getting her breakfast at the gas station? I don't see this going too well.

[ShortyMac]

Hello, all.

[poeticlicensed]

I'm back pounders! I had no idea the season started. I'm so behind. Lindsey, working fast food and dad giving you candy doesn't account for 600+ pounds. 

[Armchair Critic]

Their house looks pretty clean and she seems self aware. But the gas station breakfast....

[chickenella]

How y'all doin pounders! It's nice to hear Dr Now playing that melancholy piano  music again!

Really. What's wrong with frying an egg? 

[Azubah]

My, he's weepy, isn't he.

OMG, I did the same thing so I wouldn’t forget what I wanted to say lololol

[Chicklet]

Ok dickhead father but really? Gaining 600 pounds because your father was useless and a serial womanizer? Im not getting this so far.

[Kid]

Hi Pounders! I missed you guys last week more than I missed the show!!!

She doesn’t look as big to me as some of these people do at 600 pounds.

OMG Paul's got a case of the drunk cries. 

Also, I was stuck at work and am starving and it's not helping that Lindsey is shoving cake pops into her mouth!

[OoogleEyes]

Hello Pounders!

I'm still looking for the picket fence...

[mmecorday]

My eating habit was OK today. I had a salad with sunflower seeds, grape tomatoes, red onion and Olive Garden Italian salad dressing. For dinner I had a turkey sandwich and a chocolate chip cookie.

[Miracle Maxie]

She’s already had a gastric sleeve. I suspect we’ve got ourselves a train wreck tonight.

Thanks.  I had no clue what she was eating.

[CrazyInAlabama]

So her father was a feeder, and the first husband/boyfriend was a feeder.   I'm so glad Paul (the husband) isn't a feeder, and I hope he'll be supportive. 

 I really hate her father, steals her truck, constant cheating, at least two extra wives, and he cons her into moving to Missouri.     He's suck a jerk, and a total feeder.    I bet he's going to be a big stumbling block, just like John & Lonnie's mother was. 

I'm so glad she left the boyfriend when he beat her, so many people don't leave.  

It's always a bad sign when they've eaten through a previous weight loss surgery.

I thought maybe we had been bad so no live chat! But...... HadJimmy Johns Frenchmen and a pickle but couldn’t finish it all.

[poeticlicensed]

Mr. Poetic is watching with me and he asked me why the shower curtain was clear. I told him the clear shower curtain is TLC standardissue

[sagittarius sue]

Now I sometimes get a breakfast at my gas station.  However, it's just an egg McMuffin thing (which I like better that McD's because they don't burn the edges of the English muffin) and coffee.

Cake pops.  I did know what was.   I do envy the pizza for breakfast though my husband would give me the evil eye at that request!

I'm doubtful ... the guy seems like a weepy alcoholic.

Who thinks she will have to write him a letter or have a chat with him

It ran off with your yellow brick road.

[hoosiermom]

I know after last weeks show I had chili dogs several days in a row. Will never be able to eat another one as long as I live!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Well, from the previews he does scream something like, "Eat death, Lindsey!" at her, so maybe his drinking helps him express his inner rage at watching Lindsey eat herself to death.  

I think this is the first Poundticipant from Iowa.     So it will all be new scenery to me.    Who is going on a 15-16 hour car trip, and hasn't packed anything?    (The answer is my mother, right as we were supposed to be packing).   

Note to Lindsey, just because he doesn't hit you it doesn't mean he's not verbally abusive.     He's totally hung over isn't he?

So she basically admitted that she likes that he's an addict as well. I like to see people in a healthy, stable relationship.

Or else they don't even have one.

[mmecorday]

Oh no! I thought that Jazz show was over!

[Wanda]

Uh oh. She’s anxious!

[Chicklet]

He's late leaving for Houston because he's a drunk, but she LIKES that he's an addict too. Of course she does.

She's not even packed??

[Azubah]

So why aren't you packed?

What did she say? I missed it.

Wait, she's bitching about him oversleeping because they should be on the road, and she hasn't even packed anything?

I have been known to eat some cold pizza for breakfast. But gas station quality pizza probably isn't worth us getting too envious for.  Although I am a bit envious of sitting in the recliner and having a husband wait on you.

[Wanda]

Hurry babe, we’re late because of you. Well, no, I haven’t packed for the 16 hour drive yet. 

[Guest]

How can she not be packed?!

OMG this woman's monotone voice is putting me to sleep.

[Miracle Maxie]

She’s bitching about him being asleep but she hasn’t packed? Oh, this is going to go well. 

[MrsClaus]

Really?  It's not like they just woke up one morning and decided to go to Houston.

[Azubah]

Name-calling and mutual contempt! Heartwarming.

[ams1001]

Hey, y'all, if she doesn't get this help, she won't be around much longer. In case you missed it.

[mmecorday]

Yeah, Paul's a real catch. And there's nothing worse than being in a car with someone who's been drinking all night. Even after they've showered.
