Oh there’s judgement...

I can’t like this enough!!

Hi Y'all--first one in the chat, after missing three live chats!  Happy to be here.  Hoping for a satisfying snarkfest.

Oh wow, I missed the first three episodes too. At least I know that I'm not alone.😊

[Ivylady]

He hates being asked to bring in the groceries he's going to eat? Oh, fuck off you lazy, corpulent bastard. 

Jessica - push back from the table. Don't try to eat with him because he's a compulsive eater.

[StitchPunk]

Such a cute dog!

[Snarkastikate]

Her head belongs on his body.  Switch!!

[poeticlicensed]

Jessica is large

[ams1001]

"I don't want him to be mad at me." 😞

Peanut butter is his guilty pleasure...but the rest of his eating habits are just whatever...

Whoever wrote this script for him... Oy.

[Callaphera]

You can blur it all you want but I recognize my One True Love Reese's peanut butter cups and my other One True Love Reese's Pieces. 

[PureMantis]

Could we just have a separate show where the family members/feeders get therapy and become independent people? Seeing all the people trapped in terrible relationships is depressing.

[DC Gal in VA]

WTF, a HOTDOG restaurant!? I done heard it all! 😆

You could stop bringing him food, dumbass.

Her self esteem is in the cellar. "I don't want him to get mad at me". Jesus, girl. Have a little pride. No boyfriend is better than this pizza pounding lump. 

[poeticlicensed]

Drug addict parents. Check!

Give him credit for making his own meal.  What's the over/under on salt content and do we measure it in grams or pounds.

Kilotonnes

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Mrs Formerly Heavy J was saying "normal size picture" over and over....and then you can see where it all went to hell.

I’ve never understood how the people on these shows can just sit and eat while staring blankly. I physically can’t eat without reading. Even watching TV doesn’t work. That’s why I hate eating out with people. Luckily everyone is on their phones now.

We must have been separated at birth. If I can't read, I can't eat.

Not uncommon in Chicago.

[Wanda]

Do you think he shaves his head to look thinner?

[Callaphera]

Not gonna lie, I confused the milkshake cup for bathroom Tupperware for a second. Phew. 

[MsVixen]

Good evening Pounders!  My eating habits tonight were Teriyaki Chicken and Beef with a side of Steamfresh vegetables.

However, I was eating this at the beginning of the show when it was shown that J. T. was using his lipodema(?) as a tray for his pizza!!!  Killed my appetite quick A F!!!

I love Reese's. He shouldn't be eating it, but I understand the temptation.

Reading + eating = pure heaven!

[Guest]

Christ with the "my parents were addicts" excuse with zero self awareness that YOU have become an addict, too. 

J.T.'s table leg is killing me.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Job at a fast food place.  Just like a friend of mine.  Except that John is normal size and a successful doctor for 30 years.

[mmecorday]

Looking at his face you wouldn't even know he had a weight problem. All the fat has fallen to his lower extremities.

[calpurnia99]

Wait his lyphedema holds the pizza box?

[DropTheSoap]

Run away, Jessica. (Or walk...or whatever...) He'll replace you with grubhub and the pizza guy in 2 minutes.

[ams1001]

What kind of job did he have that allowed a teenager to work 12 hour shifts until 3 in the morning?

[peaceknit]

5 pizzas a day???  Good lord.

You have never seen a Nathan's?

Another sad drugged-up parents story...  I do feel sorry for him, he tried to work and take care of his family, but eating... though predisposition to addiction is genetic, he just chose food instead of drug... 

[OoogleEyes]

The pizza job of DOOOOOOM!

We have one here where I live in Salem, Massachusetts!  I'm proud!  Ha ha...but it's actually really popular.

Yes!!!!

[7EasyPayments]

I don't think I'm overestimating a 20,000 calorie day.

Dude STOP !!!!!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Over 600 lbs by 22?  That means he basically outweighed The Wild Samoans.

[LookABird]

Hola!  My eating habit tonight is Reese's Sticks.  Sigh.  Long day.

I missed his back story. How did he become so huge?

[Ivylady]

Yes, your parents are addicts, but what are you, JT?

[Snarkastikate]

Too.... much....information. 

Can't... take...it...all.. in. 

Brain....overload

I have a batch of homemade peanut butter cups waiting for their chocolate coating firming up in the freezer right now. I try to tell myself it's healthier than the brand name ones but I just sifted a cup of icing sugar into the mixing bowl soooo....

I have my back to the screen (reading while eating) and heard 'Reese's.' My thought was, "I'm not seeing a problem here."

[Guest]

I was so depressed when the doctor told me my obesity would kill my be 31 that I IMMEDIATELY STARTED EATING MORE.

I couldn't rewatch Bethany because she sucks.

So instead I had my evening eating habit, which was a cup of two good yogurt.

Yay....breakfast pizza!

I caught her ending monologue about how she was scared she'd fail (as she sat in her chair staring into space).

[Hellga]

He literally looks like a snowman, halfway melting snowman... small head, intermediate chest/belly and super-large thighs!  All of it sagging downward.

[Mary Godfrey]

Maybe, like Steven, he pulled it out and ate it.

[Ivylady]

Part of me feels like he's so big to force someone to take care of him like his parents didn't. I'd say go to therapy, but it's not looking good. 

 

[LizzyB]

I mean, it's kind of impressive that he can stand up and walk.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Poor dog.  Does ANYTHING ever get dropped on the floor????

[ams1001]

Met on a dating app, of course.

His personality covers up his size..? Uh...

His monotone reading voice certainly doesn't....

[poeticlicensed]

Omg the carpet. 

At least he admits he's on welfare. I give him credit for that. This show glosses that over.
