S08.E03: Bethany's Story LIVE CHAT

[Pepper Mostly]

So wait,  she lies around like Jabba the Hut all day, demanding food from her long suffering family. But she's embarrassed by the number on the scale. Um OK.

She's going to try and play Dr. Now. She knows all the buzz words and the therapy speak. 

[nytonc]

She love everything fried!

[Callaphera]

Zowie no longer looks like a real name.

OH WAIT. IT ISN'T A REAL NAME.

Whatever happened to naming your kid Jane? Or Anne?

She's already on her way to bring like her mom; when she said her mother was her best friend I wanted to cry.

[Gbb]

Does your husband bring you unhealthy food? No. 

Big fat liar.

How many blocks will they drive before she NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS to EAT !!!!!!!!!!!

1/2 a block ? 😂

You're first up in the naughty corner😂😂

[Pepper Mostly]

She's embarrassed by the number because she thought it was just her mattress that made her look fat.

David Bowie's son was originally named Zowie. He's now Duncan Jones, as any sensible person would be.

[Callaphera]

Lose 60 pounds over 2 months? Either Dr. Now doesn't have much hope for this season or he's under-selling like whoa for motivational purposes. 

[ams1001]

"That's a good example of irony..." 😄 

[nytonc]

She’s not going to lose an ounce. 

[DEG9]

Wait! Did he not put her on the 1200 calorie diet?

Well, if we pronounce OW the way SHE does, she’s seeing Dr NO.  Kind of appropriate.

...then what is the dishwasher husbands for?

[Pepper Mostly]

Dr. Now: Lose 60 pounds in two munt. 

Bethany: I will!

Pepper Mostly: She won't.

[umgoblue]

Confidently says, "I will"...uh oh!

Did she not learn anything from the addicts that she used to counsel?

You haven't seen Angela on Love After Lockup.  

Hey, wait a second. Do NOT be talking about my girl Angela. I'm currently writing a screenplay based on Angela's life as a former mental health therapist turned private eye. She and some sassy sidekicks go around trying to locate felons who neglected to check in with their PO on time. I mean, you know Angela, she will always find her man. I'm hoping the movie or TV screenplay will be finished by the end of the year and in 2021 you will see the story and Angela and Tony and other shady characters on a TV or in a movie theater near you. The only problem I'm having currently, although I'm writing up a storm, is coming up with the money to pay for Angela's cigarettes while filming. I might start a GoFundMe page.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Taking the first step.....put one foot in front of the other....and soon you'll be walking across the floor......

[Chicklet]

OH THE DESK CHAIR IN THE KITCHEN.

[Hellga]

At least she is trying... these are actual real vegetables. 

[Callaphera]

Dr. Now's diet is bland like you, Karen Bethany. 

[fonfereksglen]

I know this is off the wall ... but the exit music from Dr. Now's office was very Philip Glass lite.

[Guest]

Whatever it is she's making looks GROSS! Have these folks ever heard of a spice?! 

[MelissaMinion]

Has she never thought of squeezing some lemon, or using SPICES? There are many ways to zing up dinner without adding calories.

[mmecorday]

No salt and pepper on the chicken and vegetables?

[sagittarius sue]

It didn't look like she seasoned the zucchini at all.

Winter Warlock!!

[umgoblue]

She just said that it has been "one munt".  This is all the confirmation that Dr. Now writes the scripts and she is reading it verbatim.  😂

[Azubah]

Hey, at least it's roasted squash instead of those steamed frozen vegetables everyone else on this show eats.

[Callaphera]

As opposed to the fake ones that I like, like potato chips and tomato soup and... nope, that's about it.

My guess is no.  She doesn't strike me as someone interested in watching food shows, and she certainly wasn't raised in a gourmand household.  

[Snarkastikate]

Sorry, there ain't no way I'm eating plain baked zucchini.  Sorry Dr Now.

"I'm in a lot of pain". Jesus girl, take an Advil and shut the hell up. 

So, how much has she lost? I'll say 40 pounds. 

[SunnyBeBe]

Zowie said something about garlic. So I guess there was that.

As opposed to the processed ones, yes.  Some people would count ketchup as a vegetable on a technicality!

I think it's a fentanyl patch. And scabies.

Wait - you can get fentanyl in a patch? I think they gave that to me when I had cataract surgery. Do you mean I can get some to take home?  😲 I've got a doctor's appointment in another 2 months. Maybe I need a new script. 😄

[7EasyPayments]

Munt Tree !!!!  

Did we meet our goal ? 🙄

Cuz the meal prep was for the cameras

 She is still inhaling pizza

[Azubah]

She probably means her professional counselor's license, don't you think? She obviously still drives...

[CrazyInAlabama]

I can't believe she's from Oklahoma.   My father's people are from there, and they spice everything up so much.    That chicken and squash looked disgusting.      

607 to  after two months.  

That poor daughter will never escape being Jabba the Butt's personal feeder.    I bet she thinks the older daughter might leave, so she's training Zowie to take her place.  

ANd I call bull on she's too sore to exercise after a trip to Dr. Now's.    The only thing that's sore is the arm she uses to shovel in massive amounts of Grease and Freedom (from Lindsey).

It even comes in lollypops!

My bet is that she has lost some, but not nearly enough.  Maybe 15-20 pounds out of 60.

Veggie chips? And don't forget Fritos.

Yup! Fentanyl comes in patch form. I just googled to see what one looked like -- it doesn't look like what Bethany had on though. So, it's probably a giant band aid for which we should all be thankful.

[SunnyBeBe]

I have this issue in my extended family....mom and dad morbidly obese..look like in pain, their kids obese...working on becoming morbid, yet parents don't feel bad their kids can't walk across a room without being out of breath. Aint right.

[Chicklet]

It's pretty hard to get fentanyl patches these days unless you are in hospice for cancer. Lidocaine patches yep, easy to get and they actually work.
