S08.E11: Tommy's Story LIVE CHAT

[LookABird]

It's interesting to me that poundticipants rarely if ever break the "fourth wall" with the camera.  The mother seems to be an exception.

[Ivylady]

His stomach made me gag. 🤢🤮

[DropTheSoap]

L'il NowNow is dropping the truth bombs tonight.

Wow, String Theory, I'm so sorry.

Thanks, I'll get through this somehow - a sense of humour (and not be "scared") helps.  Life's too mysterious to take too serious".  
Damn genetics!

Again, another one wishing that Dr. Now has all magical answers.  He's not letting Amanda off the hook either!  Dr. Now's really giving him the smack down tonight.  It's about time~!  I really don't want to see Tommy's nasty rash.

[mmecorday]

Dr. Now is developing a major Montgomery Burns hump on his back.

[babyhouseman]

Amanda is with big guys because they make her feel petite.

[fonfereksglen]

Dependence on your disability!!!!!!!!!    Finally a Doctor speaks the truth!!!!!!

[Chicklet]

Dr Now is getting brutal.

[umgoblue]

Dr Now:  You will know longer get disability checks.  You will have to get an FN job!

Tommy:  🤔...Don't be so hasty!

[ShoePrincess]

I’m a bit behind and am watching the beginning I recorded. Is he really eating cold ravioli out of the can? And sucking down two sodas at once?

Our winner is <drum roll> @88Keys!  Johnny, tell them what they've won!

Johnny:  You've won a 400 lb. fiance(e) who will bring you all the food that can be piled on a plate, your own scrubby sponge on a stick, refrigerators for every room in your house, and a trailer full of the best quality canned ravioli!  And, as always, the respect of your fellow Pounders!  Huzzah!

Look how your day has exponentially improved, @88Keys!

I guess all the talk of quarantine is freaking people out. But seriously, how much TP do you go through in a couple weeks?

It's having it available without being at the whim of price changes or not being able to get out because of the weather. I buy paper products 6 months at a time and it's just me. 

[Hellga]

Dr. Now is giving it straight to him, though I would say it's not dependence financially as much as it is psychological dependence and not wanting to grow up and face his demons and take responsibility for his own life.

[sainte-chapelle]

I'm in a sentimental mood but I think all these folks needs therapy first and foremost. I'm not obese but I went through a situation  where a witnessed a crime....by definition 'mass shooting' but  I guess by media standards 3 deaths is not a lot. I know all the shop owners etc that were there...we shared stories and it was fine. On the year anniversary I could not even get out of bed, probably still in bad standing at work as I took a lot of sick days .....I wasn't directly affected so it is so stupid and selfish but now I am on anti- anxiety meds. Obesity in most cases here is a symptom of another problem.

[ams1001]

"Focusing on exercises" and ordering pizza. Oy.

[Kid]

Is he seriously lecturing Tommy about disability benefits?! Oh, you can just fuck off, Dr Now.

That’s a first!!!  It’s about time.

[Callaphera]

Voiceover: "I've been focusing on some things more than others."
Tommy: "Hi, I'd like to order a pizza, please?"

Clearly the diet falls in the "others" category. 

[DropTheSoap]

He needs to make big changes = first weigh-in fail.

[Azubah]

He did kind of earn a living when he was babysitting his friends' kids. I mean it's not exactly working for McKinsey but it's not disability.

[materialgirl101]

SHOES!!!

Yes...except that I'm pretty sure I wasn't the closest guess.  🙂

[DEG9]

he ordered a pizza, and then walked to the corner and back, and considers that a disciplined workout.

oy

[Caoimhe]

So he’s cheating “once” EVERY day and think that’s good?

Same.  We are old and paper products are bulky so I order for delivery.

Co dependency at its finest and he is not the first!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Something I crave once in a day?????  I'll go with once a week.  But once a DAY?????

[Callaphera]

He paid for delivery for that? WTF. 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

....how did I win?  I was 100 pounds off?

 

Uh oh, misread my own writing.  😢

[Snarkastikate]

Dr Now is full of truth tonight.  Calling out GF, who is probably closer to 400.  And telling him he needs to stop considering himself disabled and become productive and earn a living.  Bingo!   And this is GF's  SECOND morbidly obese BF, WTF.  She must be seeking them out, that ain't a coincidence.

[DropTheSoap]

Good luck walking off that pizza Tommy. 

Walking to Dr Now's would work that off.

That's his spinal cord problems due to age and lifestyle.  Unfortunately, not uncommon as people grow old.

[Splashes]

No dont order a pizza...

Also the exercises are literally the least important bit!

[Azubah]

Amanda is kicking ass and taking names!

[ams1001]

But it's a small size.

At least fiancee is calling him on it.

[sainte-chapelle]

Wtf why is he eating pizza?

[Suzywriter]

why are the windows taped with black plastic?

[umgoblue]

Just one 5,000 calorie cheat snack a day, will give me the will power to stay on the 1200cal/day diet...

BINGO!!

[materialgirl101]

A personal pizza is "a sacrifice"

Oh shit! Girlfriend came home early!!!

[poeticlicensed]

Orders smaller pizza

 I need to do things in stages

[LookABird]

She's got claws!  I love it!

[suev33 3]

"hello.. I'd like to order a no calorie pizza?  Oh, you dont have those?  Dang, Ill just take a regular pizza then". 😆🤣🤣🤣

[DC Gal in VA]

He's focusing on his exercises as he orders crappy delivery PIZZA!? Only having something he craves ONCE A DAY!!! Okay, I'll stop YELLING!

[Caoimhe]

Oh wow I am impressed with her!!  She’s throwing away the pizza!!

[mmecorday]

"Yeah, it's a pizza, but it's the smallest size they have."

She's gonna go back and snarf it down later.

[PureMantis]

OMG. A pizza in the trash!??

[Guest]

This scene seems particularly staged. Grimace and Tommy Boy are terrible actors.

[Ivylady]

Curse him out, Amanda! ❤ She threw away the pizza! Go, Amanda!
