S08.E03: Bethany's Story LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Bethany has two daughters who live in fear of losing their mom to food addiction.  Once an addiction counselor, Bethany has gotten so big she can no longer work.  Now she risks losing her life if Dr. Now can't help her curb her own addiction.

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast showing.

Hi all!!!  Got in the mood by playing Lola a few times.  Let the snark begin

[hoosiermom]

Hope this is a good one tonight. Hey fellow pounders!

[Kid]

Good evening, Pounders!!

[Pepper Mostly]

Are we unlocked? How y'all doin'? How's everyone's eating habit? Plenty of grapes and sugar free jam laid in?

[sagittarius sue]

Howdy all!

[Guest]

I’m trapped at the McDonalds drive-thru waiting for my Egg McMuffin. 🥵

[Smoothcoat]

Hi everybody!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Alrighty!!!  Toilet scene!!!!

[mmecorday]

Hey everybody! My eating habit was all over the place today. I shouldn't eat where baked goods are on prominent display.

[MrsClaus]

A real bra?

[Callaphera]

Bring on the questionable food choices!

Mine, not theirs. I have a pot of salted water starting to boil on the stove for a box of Kraft Dinner. 

[chickenella]

Hello y'all! Its Wednesday!

[hoosiermom]

Didn't waste any time getting to the bathroom scene did they?

[Hellga]

Hi All!

One more starts right off the bat with "I hate my life"!
 

My eating habit tonight will be chicken noodle soup (I just threw the whole Cornish hen into the pot to start the base) and my lunch was a bowl of homemade chili...

[Pepper Mostly]

A BRA! I think this is a first. 

[MsVixen]

Hi Fellow Pounders!  My eating habits were a chicken and shrimp dish and a side of broccoli.  Probably some M&M's to follow!

[babyhouseman]

Hello. I saw where Howard Stern was talking about this show. It's getting popular.

[Donut Bear]

Ooh fat kids too

Oh, just want everyone to know I am in my CAR and not on a scooter. I have SOME dignity, folks.

Good evening, pounders! Tonight's eating habit was Kashi blueberry waffles with real maple syrup. I'm kinda cranky, so let's do this!

Facebook recently reminded me of this dinner date with Stars from five years ago.

[Azubah]

"Zowie"? It's Zoe, honey.

[mmecorday]

She's got the rosacea pretty bad. I have it too.

[poeticlicensed]

Open with a toilet shot!

[Wanda]

I prepped by rereading Annie J’s comments to heat up and then watching Diana’s WATN to get a mellow buzz on.

[OoogleEyes]

Wow. She's going all in with the nakedness 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Her last name is Stout.  That is unfortunate for a large person.

[Hellga]

Her daughters look like they are well on the way to the same future as their mother...  Poor girls.

[Kid]

The daughter is obese too!

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, a honey bun and a muffin for an amuse bouche. Then she'll hoover up some eggs and toast.

We didn't get a shower scene.  Probably poor hygiene.

[Callaphera]

Remember when Apple was the questionable baby name choice?

Zowie. That poor kid.

[Wanda]

She wants something to eat WHILE breakfast is being cooked? Aaaaaand we’re off

[ams1001]

"I'm gonna start with a honey bun and a muffin." Just a small breakfast appetizer before my several eggs scrambled with milk. And a small snack to tide me over while you're cooking them, please...

[Caoimhe]

She needs food while she’s waiting for breakfast to be cooked?!

[PureMantis]

Good evening all!

This show has changed so much since the first episodes. Starting the show off with the full nude body reveal doesn't even seem risque.

[hoosiermom]

I'm already pissed at this woman.😡

[Hellga]

Ugh.  "I want something to eat while you are making breakfast".  Ever hear of not spoiling your appetite, not that anything could spoil it??

[Pepper Mostly]

Holy shit, TWO plates of breakfast. 

[poeticlicensed]

Wait. She needs a snack while her breakfast is being prepared?

[MrsClaus]

Holy guacamole that's a lot of food.

[Singingflutist]

How y'all doing tonight?

[ams1001]

Skinny husband, check.

Wow, Sheldon Cooper fell on hard times after he won that Nobel...

[Gbb]

Hi Pounders! Are we in for a train wreck or a success tonight?

My eating habit is beef and broccoli with extra yum yum sauce since I’ve only had a spoon of peanut butter and a banana today. No oranges though, so I’m cool 😉

[MsVixen]

What's with the patch on her arm?

[CrazyInAlabama]

I can see the entire family needs Dr. Now's plan.   The 18 year old daughter is almost as big as Bethany, and Zoey is right on the same path at 10.    This is very sad.    She's from Alva, OK, was there someone else from there on the show before?   It sounds familiar.   Another enabler feeder husband who brings hug meals.   If anything he's super skinny, and doesn't look healthy at all.   

[Ivylady]

How y'all doin? My eating habit terrible, but not as bad as Bethany's. Poor Zowie (hate the spelling)  and Isabella have clearly picked up their mother's piss poor eating habits. 

 

I think she weighs 725 because that stomach is 100+ pounds on his own

 

Bethany must eat all of Sheldon's food. 💁🏾‍♀️

[Hellga]

Wow her husband is rail thin... and an enabler extraordinaire "whatever mama wants, mama gets".

[Donut Bear]

Nice looking husband :(
