S08.E03: Bethany's Story LIVE CHAT

[Azubah]

A fat counselor could be useful. Bela Karolyi is a crap gymnast, but he coached a lot of amazing ones. (And abused them, I know, I know.)

[mmecorday]

I have anxiety too. But when I'm going through a particularly bad period of anxiety, I can't eat. Everything I try to eat makes me feel like I'm choking.

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

Yogurt and almonds AND a brownie. And a large pizza. And maybe some ice cream and a Coke to wash it all down. Have to keep your strength up. 

[nytonc]

She’s so nonchalant about her mother’s suicide attempt

[OoogleEyes]

Man, this woman is a fucking mess!

I’m waiting patiently for a crossover episode

I would pay $29.99 if they made it a pay-per-view event, that's how much I want it.

It's fascinating that she's attempted suicide and yet confesses that she doesn't have any need to go to therapy. 

You're a dumbass, Bethany.

[Chicklet]

Good lord this chick has a hard head.

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

I just wonder how much her "boyfriend" is getting paid to be on that show. (No, I don't watch it.)

[Azubah]

So how do you think you're going to figure it out without therapy? You're not making much progress just sitting around thinking about it.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Yes, it looks like Rosacea.      At least she finally went to the therapist. 

I swear for every pound she loses, her husband loses that much too.  He's shrinking away.

OMG DOES SHE EVER GET OUT OF THE CHAIR?!

[Kid]

She was an addiction therapist and she does not understand why the weight loss surgery is not working. What the hell kind of counselor was she? Not a successful one that’s for sure!

[babyhouseman]

I don't need therapy.

Next month: I'm depressed.

[Hellga]

Of course the counseling went nowhere, because her attitude pre-determined the outcome.

In case you were wondering why doesn't Dr. Now send everyone to counseling right away...

[nytonc]

There’s no hope for Bethany at all. She doesn’t want to change. 

[ams1001]

Sheldon looks so much better with this haircut (relatively speaking, at least).

[mmecorday]

Zowie is putting on weight. The torch has been passed. Dammit.

[Donut Bear]

Zowie looks like Honey Boo Boo

[Callaphera]

"It's not getting easier!"

No shit? Turn off the Dr. Phil, get off your ass, and take a one minute walk down the driveway.

[MsVixen]

Check out her legs.  They don't look any smaller so I think the diet has gone by the wayside.

[nytonc]

Yep there she goes,  right to the candy

Is there a reason why her daughter uses white, ghost-like foundation on her face?!  Is this a new trend/fad?  I have to be here when the episode starts because I so confused.

Reminds me of 90s goth

Me, too. I actually ate a lot of ice cream during that time because it was something I felt (mostly) safe trying to swallow. (Still get it sometimes but not so often.)

[Hellga]

I know what's going to happen!  You will regain all the weight and then some, and die in a couple years!  So get off your ass and stop expecting the world around you to do all the work for you!  She honestly expected her family to make it so she doesn't want nor get food she isn't supposed to have?  The onus is not on them!

[7EasyPayments]

And so I feel lost right now ------ COMPLETELY LOST,

unless I find the kitchen. 😂

[Azubah]

Maybe she was such a terrible, useless counselor that she figures all counselors are terrible and useless

Someone's gotta open the door when the Pizza Hut guy comes to drop off her mid-day feeding.

People under estimate how their untreated mental health issues affect their kids.  How about acting nice and happy when your kids walk in....take them skating, swimming, park....or something fun.

[Psycho Suzy]

This woman does not deserve these two sweet children. They go to Houston to surprise her on Thanksgiving, and when they're doing the what are you thankful for question, she said she's thankful for having her weightloss surgery. So of course it's all about her. I much prefer Zoe's answer; we should all be thankful for unicorns for God's sake!

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

😬😬

[Guest]

She'd probably be a lot less depressed if she LEFT THE HOUSE and did something other than mope around and try to make out with a box of donuts.

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

Not getting up off of the recliner? Ever??

[Ivylady]

Wah wah. I thought everyone was gonna change to help me! Wah wah. 

Bethany is extremely selfish. 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Bethany:
"I'm sad, lonely and scared."
"I feel completely lost."
"I don't need therapy."

Captain Obvious: She does.

[ams1001]

PS - just fixed the last of the Godiva peppermint hot chocolate mix (which was only enough for a small cup). BRB, need whipped cream.

[mmecorday]

The bad news is that it's just going to get harder and harder for her to lose weight and keep it off as she gets older. I'm turning 50 this year and I swear just looking at something with a lot of carbs in it makes me gain 10 pounds.

[CrazyInAlabama]

It's a small town, I bet by now the pizza delivery guys feel like part of the family, and come right in the living room to make deliveries.    

SHeldon is wasting away to nothing.    He's not looking well.  

She gained 6 pounds?   Dr. Now is going to erupt like Vesuvius.   Preach Dr. Now!   

Edited January 16, 2020 by CrazyInAlabama

[Snarkastikate]

Maybe if she got the fuck out of the recliner and took up a hobby?  Or went back to work part time?  

[Callaphera]

Has anyone had the surgery and ended up heavier than they started on this show? Bethany may be looking to grab that honour.

And if she gave a fuck about someone other than herself, she would be helping her daughters get off the road she is on.

I will have ice cream too, later tonight after I have my soup.  I had a tooth extraction and a gum graft two days ago, so I have trouble eating anything solid...

Me too! Ice cream and ibuprofen FTW.

Protip: pancakes with butter and syrup practically fall apart, if you get tired of the soup-and-ice-cream dance.

[SunnyBeBe]

She looks larger.

[Caoimhe]

WHY does she have the idea this is supposed to be easy?!  Gain!

[umgoblue]

I am going to go out on a limb here...

She was a horrific counselor...I hope she didn't expect any of her patients to get better as a result of her counsel.  Perhaps they didn't believe in her as she doesn't believe in therapy for herself.

Piss-poor effort on her part... SMDH.

Does she rotate so they can't  keep tracking her consumption?

[ShortyMac]

Gained six pounds. Shocking.
