S08.E03: Bethany's Story LIVE CHAT

[CrazyInAlabama]

A one hour therapy visit isn't a big deal, unless you're afraid to face the truth. 

I wonder if she's having frozen slush drinks?   Or milkshakes.

"I don't need therapy!"

She's not losing weight. "I don't see how that's possible". "I hope Dr. Now isn't mad". "Surgery was supposed to make it easier". That's bingo in one five minute segment. 

[nytonc]

The look on the nurse’s face says it all

You think they can afford dental care with the size of her Pizza Hut bills? They charge $4.65 laziness tax delivery fee on top of that out here!

Or maybe they can also invest in a bra that supports her girls?!? 

Her back has to be killing her.

[suev33 3]

Well... I was talking to my sister today and I told her that I wanted to get a Fitbit.  She says, "why, do you need to count your 20 steps a day that you do?".....joking of course.  I said 😆😂, eff you! Gotta love sisters!

How in the hell do you only lose 4 Lbs. on a liquid diet?

"That's a little surprising."

Nurse: Looks not the least bit surprised.

Seriously, if she doesn't write a tell-all when this show is over, I'm gonna be so bummed.

So, she skipped out on therapy, and only lost 4 pounds?

Yeah. And did you check out the face on the nurse? She did not give a sh$t.

 

[ams1001]

I'm gonna convince Dr. Now I don't need therapy.

"...but I'm ready to go now."

Liar.

[Kid]

I don’t need therapy, she said.  I don’t understand why I did not lose more, she said.

When you don't get up very often, your back doesn't hurt as much!

[Dianaofthehunt]

This contestant and her two daughters....none of them look happy about anything. Such sad faces...and what accounts for Bethany's redness? Is that Rosacea?

[SunnyBeBe]

I enjoyed therapy. So nice...what a treat. I'd still go if free. Are u kidding me?

[Hellga]

Neither of her two girls look like they are on the right track either.  The whole family is so messed up... if they really changed how they eat, the girls would be smaller too. 

It's terrible that the youngest one is starting to waddle already!

[nytonc]

Isabella is dying to say told ya so to mom. 

[LilMissKnowitall]

How old do we think Sheldon is?

Guys. You know, call me crazy, but I'm beginning to suspect that Bethany is not going to be successful in the long run!

[ams1001]

I'm definitely going to make it to therapy...not because I need help, but because I don't want Dr. Now to yell at me.

I've never been to counseling (though it probably wouldn't be a bad idea) but something tells me that's not the most productive attitude to go into it with.

[LookABird]

Therapy isn't going to do much?!

Did she get her Master's from a Crackerjack box?

[Hellga]

He is definitely older than her, but my guess is he is not that old.   Early 50s, maybe, just looks terrible.

Hi y’all! I just remembered this was on. Plus Mr Dreadful had to watch Oak Island 🙄 

Oh how I share your pain.  Does Mr. Dreadful watch Goldrush too?

[ShoePrincess]

I missed the first half because I forgot to record tonight’s episode. My eating habit is liquid, as in 🍷. I had a big, late lunch so skipped dinner. I came in at the post-surgery weigh in. Minimal weight loss and skipping therapy doesn’t give me much hope for Bethany to have a successful journey.

 

[Azubah]

At least she's smart enough not to be filmed eating on camera.

Melted ice cream IS the correct answer. 🤣

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I hate the poundticipants who do it for Dr.Now.  she needs to do it for herself.  As an addiction counselor, she knows this.

[Hellga]

Just now, LookABird said:

She couldn't help her patients, so why would another therapist do a better job? 

[Chicklet]

I think everyone should go to therapy at least once, it's very helpful unless you are an ex-therapist who can't get her head out of her ample ass.

[Caoimhe]

If she doesn’t engage with it then it won’t.  We’ve already seen how non compliant she is with the diet and exercise.  She expects “magic”.

[Callaphera]

For the record, I've added 30 steps to my total since the last time I checked. That was a trip to the kitchen, a trip to the bathroom, and shoveling mac and "cheese" into my maw. 

Bethany may have shamed me in the start but I bet I can beat her before the end of this episode.

Oh yeah, she's cagey. 

[SunnyBeBe]

I'm going to get a snack...yogurt and almonds OR a brownie?  Lol hmmmmm

[Callaphera]

It seems a little... ehhh? to have a Twatney commercial during My 600 lb Life.

The answer is, "yes."

Oh Lord I can"t wait to take my bed time meds!

I’m waiting patiently for a crossover episode

[Hellga]

OK, if she doesn't have any issues, and doesn't overeat, do magic elves or aliens come at night to pump her with IV nutrition?

[ShortyMac]

An overweight therapist...sure, she'll be helpful.

[MsVixen]

People, I'm beginning to think that watching Earwax Extractions on YouTube is more exciting than this show.  I don't really care what happens to this woman.

[Kid]

Looks like the therapist could lose some weight herself!

[umgoblue]

See...what had happened was...she had leftover Snickers that she bought from Costco.  She blended it up quite nicely, added some milk to completely liquify it and has been sipping on these protein shakes all day since the surgery...😒

[Yolo]

It's sad Bethany and her girls almost seem zombie like.

[sagittarius sue]

I had a brownie when the show started.  It's the cake type and I wasn't impressed.  I like chewy fudgey ones.

[ams1001]

When I first had bad anxiety and panic attacks I lost 20 pounds...

[satrunrose]

I weigh 600 pounds. I spent the first half hour of the the show going on about my anxiety and how I need to eat, but I'm totally fine and don't need therapy. Siiiigh...

[Donut Bear]

Whoa.  The overweight counsellor is going to counsel her on weight loss.  Ok

[Snarkastikate]

Ummmmn, very overweight therapist counsels on why Bethany eats?
