Before I’m misunderstood, due to the high risk status of my husband (heart disease) and son (diabetes) and my lung issues, my husband put the kibosh on my grocery runs, despite using gloves and a mask. There were several loud fights.

I've been told no groceries.  Let's see how my milk obsessed hubby gets by.

[Hellga]

Ah the first of many drive-through pit stops!  Their order is pretty tame compared to last week's epic breakfast for two.

[sagittarius sue]

Of course she has to have fast food before hitting the highway!

[poeticlicensed]

Drive thru! Check!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Gotta have the ranch packets just to squirt in her mouth.....like a milkshake for pounders.

[CrazyInAlabama]

13 hours drive to go, and they start with drive thru first thing?     That poor car is about dragging from the load.    

The first part of the order didn't sound too bad, until Mommy Dearest added four more sandwiches to the order, and everything else.   Of course Mom would have a bright pink coat.

They suspended filming last weekend.

Thank you. Missed that. I’ve been doing my best to stay off the internet as much as possible. That means all sites (this one is an exception). 

[MsVixen]

She definitely is one that they are talking about with the virus.  However, this chick's clots could take her out at any time!

Do you have day time pajamas or just keep the same ones? I alternate to make things exciting.

Sleep naked! Save the second set.

I joked the other day that if my yoga pants could talk, this is what they would say:

[AnnaBaptist]

"We're both excited to go."

"I'm excited, but nervous." 

Both said with as much enthusiasm as someone saying, "I need an enema."

"I need something to eat before we get on the freeway." Of course you do.

I'm getting ads for hand sanitizer.

And $18 for snack #1

Hi, everyone.  I have been on lockdown for a month, and have lost my job.  Can't do Facilities from home.  Mourning Kenny Rogers.  Doing nothing but drinking, except when my husband ordered Chinese food and I hoovered it up. Felt a lot better.  Cats are good, food and catbox ok.  Play with wand toys and try to communicate love, not fear.  Am scared (!) and I wish a homestyle chicken sandwich and a large frys would fix it.

[Hellga]

No, Megan, it's not gastric bypass that would physically stop you from eating, it's getting your jaws wired shut.  Seriously, they should do that... and do 1200 calories a day in liquid diet...

Stop every two hours to walk around or to eat?

guess. heh

[umgoblue]

I think this is the first time that someone has acknowledge that they have watched the show and know what they might be getting into.  Let's see if this continues and she doesn't say that she is not sure how he will respond to her not following the diet.  🤔

[Snarkastikate]

Ooooo I so loves me a good ol road trip!!!!     Does she even hear herself?  Food is her only pleasure, it's all she lives for, then next sentence out of her mouth is how much of a hell her life is. 

[sagittarius sue]

Hey, they managed 6 hours driving.  I'm impressed.  For her weight I'm going with 651.

[Gbb]

I’m going with 655 for the weigh in. 

[libgirl2]

How much did they spend on food in one day??

[mmecorday]

If she wants any long-term success, Dr. Now is going to have to use a scalpel to excise her mother from her.

[CousinOliver]

Did they make it half way with only 2 meals? 

[umgoblue]

678

[Chicklet]

Carboncat sorry to hear! I keep wishing this virus away, it can't go fast enough.

[poeticlicensed]

My guess is 624

Don’t get me wrong, he complains about not having his low cal, dairy free treats *eyeroll*

[mk828]

I'll go with 671

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Damn.  First floor room.  I really want to see a 3rd floor with stairs.

[Caoimhe]

I’ll say 625, she is reasonably mobile.

[CrazyInAlabama]

I don't think I'd call what they bought just two meals.   That first stop was a lot of food, and the last one was a huge bag of stuff, and they had a 'few snacks".   

And she's eating like a garbage disposal on high speed on the way to Dr. Now's office.    

That remark about losing weight, while shoveling food in is pathetic.   Why does she want to be a pediatric nurse?  Because kids are bite sized?     As you've probably guessed, I can't stand her, or the mother.

I'm grateful for an excuse to sit on my ass in pajamas all day and play The Sims 4 while eating unhealthy amounts of ketchup chips. It's hard but we all have to do our part. 

I'm working from home; I have a Zoom meeting with my boss every morning at 9, the rest of the day I'm on my own. My work is not hard and I am so enjoying not commuting (lolling in bed until 6 AM makes me feel positively decadent). I'm kept fairly busy so I'm not snacking much. I don't mind it a bit. It'd be great if I wasn't worried sick about how the world's crumbling......

[libgirl2]

Lots of snacks! 

[ams1001]

Is she five? She needs snacks to keep her "distracted."

[CousinOliver]

Oh, day two, lots of snacks. False hope. 

[Kid]

Looks like she ate her way to Houston.

[nytonc]

Sounds like she expects to get surgery tomorrow. She’s gonna freak being told  to lose weight before surgery

While I haven’t (yet) succumbed to the lure of carbs I did eat way too much all weekend.  Unhelpful “news” articles about how you should allow yourself to eat and not worry about your weight are counterproductive for people like me.  I have to remind myself that when they say “if your body wants cake then have a piece” my result would be eating the entire cake in one sitting.  

A "loser" on The Biggest Loser finale last night made the point, post-weight loss, that she has now learned that when everything else is out of control, two things she can control are her nutrition and exercise.  I found that helpful for these times (and I know all about how terrible that show is, but as you ALL KNOW, I like trashy shows).

[Hellga]

The magic of snacks!  And here I am, using books and internet as my means of escape...

I will guess her weight as 637.

Drive thrus are going to be the only restaurants to survive in America. Where I live McDonalds and Starbucks have long lines at the drive through. Even Papa John is making big money. Sit down restaurants are dead.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Casey Webb has NOTHING on her with Man vs Food.  NOTHING

[Chicklet]

Oh NOW mom wants to watch sugar and carbs? Kinda like shooting the cow after the barn burns down.

Hey sweetie. You need to find something to occupy yourself (besides snarking here).  I'm sewing masks for careworkers. There are other things that you might be able to do that would be helpful. Don't sit and dwell, for that will not help anything.

 

[poeticlicensed]

71 carbs for that tiny package!

[Guest]

"I ain't looking for no man."

Prediction: She'll have a man by the end of the episode.

[umgoblue]

Is this the first time someone has arrived early?  And so motivated, they want to be seen now?  Perhaps she will be a success story.

[mmecorday]

"I just want to do me." Whoa, TMI, Megan!

[AnnaBaptist]

"45 sugars. And 71 carbs."

It annoys me when people don't use actual units. It's grams, Megan!

[Azubah]

Drive from Illinois to Texas! See the world! It's a big, amazing world. Especially Oklahoma. Wowee.

They usually have rooms for disabled on the first floor if they don't have an elevator.

we do, too.  But it is just the 2 of us so it looks a bit overwhelming especially since I had planned for tomorrow''s dinner to be chili and cheese beer biscuits due to cooler weather.  Not a good combo with the broccoli.  I could decide not to do the chili and do fish, but that was for Friday's fishy meal.    I like to mix it in with squash for a change which we have or cauliflower which I don't have.  

I combine broccoli with Ramen (love it but not Dr. Now approved, LOLOL ) for a quick lunch. 🥦😉
