S08.E10: Ashley B.'s Story LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

At 600 lbs., Ashley had to move home so her mom could help her care for not just herself but her newborn daughter too.  Now Ashley must overcome a lifetime of unfortunate circumstances and get Dr. Now's help in Houston to find a way to go on living.

Another Ashley!  Seemingly a popular name in the 600+ Lb. community. And she has a baby.  Yes, where there's a will, there's a way, and Ashley found a way.  Will she succeed? Will she fail?  Will there be a small dog?  How many pizzas will be consumed? Let's watch, snark and see!

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East coast showing and again during the US West Coast showing.

Original air date 2020.03.04

Sorry for the late open.  Just putting together my eating habit for the night.

[ams1001]

Hi everyone! Tonight's eating habit was an egg salad sandwich (with just enough mayo to hold it together) on thin-sliced honey wheat bread, dill pickles, and the last of my Bundaberg ginger beer.

Just caught the end of the Seana rerun. Hoping this new Ashley will be more hopeful. I'm ready for someone to do well.

Thoughts while I waited for the thread to open:

Pineapple panties.
Cute baby...being taken care of by the other kid...:(
Controlled by cravings.
Bags of bread in the oven.
I make food and eat all day until others get home and then they make the food.
I can't do anything but food gives me "happiness."
These people need to look up "happiness" in the dictionary.

Molested by babysitter's boyfriend 😞

[Concerned]

It’s nice that the show opens with Ashley naked on the toilet so we didn’t have to wait.

[Pepper Mostly]

GUYS. Here we are! How's everyone's eating habit? 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Evening all!!!  I got into the Cheeze Its tonight but cut me slack.  I hit the gym at 5am and went for a 2 mile run at 2pm.

[Caoimhe]

The children are adorable.  I feel sorry for them.

[Minivanessa]

Hi, Pounders! We're at six minutes in and we've already heard Ashley talk about how food comforts her like nothing and nobody else. Who's keeping the bingo card tonight? 

[Armchair Critic]

They started out with a bathing scene! 

Her voice is already on my nerves....

[hoosiermom]

Food is the only thing that brings her happiness? What about those two children? I"m already angry at this women. By the way, HI everyone!

[Splashes]

Good evening pounders! My eating habit tonight was nachos!

Please oh please let this be a snark filled episode my days have been terrible.

[babyhouseman]

Hello, everyone. 

[MrsClaus]

How did this woman have a baby??

[Callaphera]

Oh, honey, all the camouflage in the world ain't hiding anything on you. 

[mmecorday]

How y'all doin? My eating habit tonight was fish sticks and pita chips with hummus.

[Pepper Mostly]

Is that a dozen eggs? 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

How many dozen eggs are on that plate?

Yes, the older one doesn't appear too thrilled with her situation.

[Splashes]

250 at seven my god

[poeticlicensed]

What is that yellow mountain of food on her plate??

[Wanda]

I swear the kid is the same one another poundticipant had. I need to start watching new shows.

[Caoimhe]

My eating habit was sardines and sauerkraut.  Wasn’t supposed to be an eating day, but I wasn’t feeling well and chose something healthy for me.

[Kid]

Another child who is a hostage to an addict.  A 9 year old should not have to take care of a baby.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Ugh. Thank you, I hate it (her). 
 

2 minutes in I already can’t stand her. Anyone who apathetically mentions her eleven yo child has to do a lot of the care of a baby is not someone I’m going to waste too much empathy on. 

[Ivylady]

Hi, y'all! My eating habit is spaghetti and homemade meatballs with a salad and an Arnold Palmer 

Ugh. Abuse by a babysitter and clueless parents who don't notice their child getting morbidly obese. 

[ams1001]

250 at seven trying to discourage a man from touching her. 😞
At least mom did something about it when she found out..?

[hoosiermom]

I have a feeling we are going to need a supersized bingo card tonight!

[Wanda]

I can’t see anything beyond the boob tattoo

[Guest]

A 300-lb 10-year old?! 

Did that mother sleep through this girl's entire childhood?

[mmecorday]

Thirteen years old and nearly 400 pounds. And no one thought something was wrong with this girl?

[aliya]

She has a 9 mth old????  Howdy, pounders! My eating habit was some turkey kielbasa, onions & peppers in red sauce over a little rice. One thing I like about OMAD is that seemingly I can eat a bit more carb w/o it messing with my diabetes. 

[Pepper Mostly]

"Breaking point". I think I might have bingo already!

Scrambled Eggs I believe.

Reminds me of the Jeff Foxworthy routine. Someone slept with that woman!

[ams1001]

She mentioned her parents and her children...did she say anything about the father of her infant? Where's he?

[sagittarius sue]

Surgeries on both knees and she's only 32!

[Burning Rubber]

We tell teens not to have babies... this mother hands her newborn to her teen to take care of.

[PureMantis]

First impression: she doesn't look that big and she's really pretty. I really hope this one is a success story. She needs to take over caring for her baby from her baby.

[Wanda]

It’s gotten so bad I don’t even hear their stories. I can’t get past the tattoos. I find out that I’m a bitch not noticing their sob stories by reading back the comments here later.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

500 lbs when she was 16.  Great job mom.

[Callaphera]

Daaamn. I was 100 lbs at 14 (I've only put on 30 pounds in the last 22 years). She was four of me at the same age. 

[Snarkastikate]

Well....despite what she said, there is obviously SOMETHING she seems very physically able to do, and apparently quite easily.   I really don't like her.   I don't like it when people have children they cannot take care of, and then keep having them.  And seriously, are ugly-ass tattoos a prerequisite for being on this show?

Where does a child get that much food? And how does no one in her family notice? 

[Donut Bear]

Come on. Who gets raped twice by different men.

[poeticlicensed]

Rape and molestation?? Ugh. Raped twice? Oy

[Ivylady]

Tragic story of rape and molestation, but she's abusing her daughter by making her take care of her and the baby. She needs intense psychotherapy. 

[Gbb]

Hi Pounders! Dr Now would not approve my eating habit tonight. I’m full of fried shrimp, catfish, hushpuppies & pie. But it’s my birthday, so I’m going on the theory that calories don’t count today.

This one seems like a sad one. More molestation and rape 😢

[StitchPunk]

Hi! My eating habit today will probably be bibimbap later and some strawberry pocky. 

I don't know how this will turn out. I hope it works out. There haven't been too many successes. 

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Why bother using a cup for the juice.  Why not just suck on the entire orange tree.

[ShortyMac]

Repeatedly molested and multiple rapes. My God.
