S08.E03: Bethany's Story LIVE CHAT

[poeticlicensed]

A whole pizza box of garlic bread. 

[Kid]

She had a happy childhood.  Mom was a drug addict, suicidal, and blamed her for all of her problems. She categorizes that as a happy childhood.

[Hellga]

300 pounds at 13?  Is that a record or did we have someone who was even worse?

[FormeryHeavyJ]

She started making friends.....Ronald McDonald, The Burger King, and she lived in a White Castle

[ams1001]

Suicidal mom, blamed daughter for it, abusive boyfriend, rape. 😞 

[Caoimhe]

I’m on a fasting day today.  I have to say none of Bethany’s food looks the least bit tempting (thankfully).

[hoosiermom]

I have never used the pizza box as my plate. Good Lord!

[MsVixen]

Are those navy blue panties she's wearing?

[poeticlicensed]

Sexual assault. Check

[preciousperfect]

That is pizza with ALL the toppings.

[Pepper Mostly]

You know, I feel considerably less guilty about the small pepperoni pizza I treat myself to once a month.

*raises hand slowly* Is that... is that a bad thing? In my defense, it was a medium thin crust pizza.

Only 1 topping? Bethany scoffs at you. 

[Ivylady]

None of these people ever think to do something healthy, like go for a walk when they're stressed? Their first thought is to shovel all the food they can into their mouths? 

Of course, the food addict gets a job as a waitress at a pizza place. 

Sheldon must be ignorant. She's beautiful and intelligent? Be best, y'all. 

[Hellga]

Waitress at a pizza place - perfect job for someone 400 pounds...

If she is 40 now and had Isabella at 21, Isabella must be 19...

[OoogleEyes]

Of COURSE his name is Sheldon

[Donut Bear]

It was her intelligence that drew Sheldon in

[7EasyPayments]

OMG !!!

The entire PIZZA and POUND CAKE on her lap.

Cue the violins, life story time.......

I thought it was a blue shower curtain

[Ivylady]

I know she's not 39. We're not the same age. 

[Hellga]

She has a master's in counseling specializing in addiction? WHAT???

I really want to see how her counseling sessions will go, if she gets that far!

Edited January 16, 2020 by Hellga

[Callaphera]

I did not need the close-up of food almost falling out of her mouth as she chewed, thanks though, Show.

[Chicklet]

Kill me dead, she's a masters prepared counselor.

[nytonc]

Oh good grief she’s an addiction counselor?!?!?!

I’ve gotten really jaded 8 seasons in. I never believe the men who say it was the wonderful personalities of the women that attracted them and I tend to,look askew at the stories of rape, parental abuse and bad haircuts that forced these people to become 700 lbs.

[7EasyPayments]

Or is it GARLIC BREAD?

[Ivylady]

She's an addiction counselor? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

[Seasick Cecil]

Physician, heal thyself.

[MrsClaus]

A counselor?  for addiction?  WTF?

[babyhouseman]

She does have a college education. 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Masters in counseling!!!  I cannot wait for the Lola meeting.

[sagittarius sue]

She doesn't practice what she preaches (in counseling).

I just love how these ppl talk about how neglected they were and then up neglecting their own kids. 

Ain’t that sumthin!!!   That’s why I did not have kids.   I wasn’t going to do to them what was done to me.

And, as you can see, one of her daughters is already obese and the other one is well on her way there. They are on their way to a life of food addiction.

[aliya]

Get the eff out - she has a degree in addictions counseling??? 😲

[MelissaMinion]

A master’s degree in counseling? And away we go!

Hello Pounders! My eating habit is a smoked turkey sandwich and sweet potato fries.

[poeticlicensed]

Masters degree in counseling. But she cant figure out that if she stops eating she might not be in pain. 

[ams1001]

omg stop saying "zowie."

[PureMantis]

With her background as a counselor, there's no way Dr. Now can set her up with Lola.

[Ivylady]

Isabella became a surrogate parent at 8? Check. 

Just trying to keep the facts together for HER episode. 

[LookABird]

I am weeping.  Look what she did to her children.

I had some horrific bang cuts back in the day but I stayed underweight my whole life. What did I do wrong?

[Dianaofthehunt]

Hey, I have navy blue undies. Don't scoff!

[poeticlicensed]

My anxiety makes me eat

 

[suev33 3]
