S08.E06: Travis's Story LIVE CHAT

[Azubah]

No, chips are not on the diet. 

[mmecorday]

I'm almost certain milk and onion rings are NOT on the diet.

[magemaud]

Wow, that green T-shirt sure is bright! 

[gameshowjunkie]

NO WHOLE MILK!!! WATER!!!

[Splashes]

Its not right now. It is forever! This is a change for the rest of your life!

Wait, is that a Menards in the background? There's an explosion of savings there!

Save big money at Menards!!! 

[Ivylady]

No chips, Travis! And I say that as someone who loves chips. 

But, even though I think it's bad that he isn't in the store, it's probably for the best. Because he's new on his journey, and he may not be able to resist the temptation. 

An enabler recognizing her bad habits? What is this? 

[Hellga]

Chips and cereal and soda... NO!

[Wanda]

We were at 9 pages at about this time last week with Gina. Travis better plan to take his vows from the shower if he wants to catch up. Skype won’t do it.

[SunnyBeBe]

Almond milk is an option. Lord these people.

[Splashes]

I like the wife.

[7EasyPayments]

Not crazy 'bout mayo but don't dislike it either.

Last week wedding, reception, this week supermarket..............................

MOVE YOUR FAT ASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kid]

That’s a first. The enabler understands her role.

[Azubah]

You only just figured this out, Yasmine? Okay.

[WonTon]

Oh, I like his fiance. I feel for her.

[CrazyInAlabama]

615?     He must be short.   

The wife needs to get the big family packs of chicken, they're much cheaper than the smaller ones.   Milk is not a substitute for soda.    So the wife's buying cereal?  Dr Now will not approve.   

The wife should stop blaming herself, he was huge before they married, and that's not her fault.  He did this to himself.  

Yasmin needs to read more labels, dump the soda, no milk, and use some spices or marinades.

The wife has realizations! This is interesting.

[Gbb]

Is that whole milk?

[Azubah]

"I didn't realize I was buying him ten trillion calories per day."

[MelissaMinion]

I seriously love his wife. Hopefully, he’ll feel guilty enough to drop the idea of snacks.

[Hellga]

Is Yasmin having her "come to Jesus" moment?  I hope she realizes that he doesn't need "easing", he needs tough love... and helps him succeed!

[Guest]

Travis's wife might be the most self aware person ever featured on this show.

[peaceknit]

She's the first 600 lb enabler that actually feels guilty for what she's done.

[WonTon]

At least they don't seem nearly in denial like a lot of them do. That's encouraging.

[SunnyBeBe]

All this with no Lola!

[aliya]

We like our ranch in Iowa , even if we have to disrupt a presidential candidate to get it - ranch girl. Note that she was gonna dip her pizza in it. Obviously I'm a transplanted Easterner, 'cause that just sounds foul.

[LookABird]

Have we ever seen an enabler admit to it like this?  I'm amazed--and hopeful.

[Psycho Suzy]

Psycho Suzy checking in late this evening. I had a super late doctor's appointment. And this is my abomination of a dinner.....chili cheese Fritos, a chocolate covered donut, and a handful of Skittles. And if that isn't self-explanatory, it's been a very long day. I'm going to try to catch up real quick so I can get in on the conversation.

[Brooklynista]

Yeah...her aim is to keep him fat. These women just have an upgrade from a prison spouse. He's in the house but you dont have to worry about sleeping with him, him cheating on you or beating you.

See that soda on the conveyor belt? She needs to keep him fat.

[babyhouseman]

He didn't go on a scooter because he was afraid he'd knock over an eyeglasses case.

[ShortyMac]

I feel for Yasmin.

Anything would be better than that 2-liter soda bottle she put on the belt!  Soda is just pure empty calories...  

[88Keys]

It's not her fault, but she was probably enabling him.  They both have to realize their part in things and take responsibility for it.  I think we may have a success story tonight.  A boring one, but I'll take it.

I make my kraft Mac & cheese with water, not milk. Cuts the calories way down, tastes the same imo and I still get comfort food which has been a necessity recently, at a reduced calorie count.

[Suzywriter]

Best spouse ever!

[Friday]

You guys are really cracking me up tonight.  I'm (im)patiently waiting for the west coast viewing and thinking about getting up to fix my dinner--homemade minestrone soup, steamed broccoli, sour dough bread, and a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie for a snack later.

[Gbb]

Finally someone with emotions! And insight. You go, Yasmin!

But... but... I don't watch the show for that. I'm here for lymphedema tables and bathroom Tupperware and the fried chicken stashed behind pillows.

IS it a whole cookie pie? If not you are really not getting into the spirit of the evening.

[Hellga]

I *despise* that Liberty struggling actor commercial.

OK, but how is that possible? They teach nutrition in schools. There's stuff about calories, eating light, eating clean, whatev, on TV, in the movies, etc. So how the heck does she have no awareness of the high calories in the food she was giving him?

Ablutions is a great word. Another reason I love this group. 

It's one of my fave words, too!!!

I’ve learned those things are dangerous,

 

 

[88Keys]

My Feet Are Killing Me- Are that guy's big toe and second toe fused together?  I swear the X-ray only showed 4 toes.

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Aw, I really feel for Yasmin. It has to be hard to squash down that feeling of knowing what you’re is wrong and just trying to keep the peace. I hope she’s strong enough to stand her ground with Travis when he needs his “treats”. JUST SAY NO, YASMIN. 

[MsVixen]

Finally got my cup of coffee.  Pecan Praline by Community and it gives me just enough sweetness.

The wife is going to have Travis in shape!

[Gbb]

Enabler epiphany!
