S08.E16: Leneatha's Story LIVE CHAT

[Callaphera]

I think my favourite part of the 90 Day Quarantine commercial is Pedro looking like he's being forced to put his arm around Chantel and Chantel looking off to the side like "Bitch, don't be touching me". 

[mmecorday]

I wish Carole Baskin had fed the person who composed the Skyrizi song to her tigers.

You know it's a slow night when I keep getting to the end of the thread and waiting for more comments to pop up.

I'm sure this was a typo but this was the best laugh I've had all day. 🐷

It was definitely a typo, and I did fix it. When I went back and read the original, I almost snorted wine out of my nose.

Shoot! My system went out! What happened? Did she realize she was over eating?

Nothing. Literally nothing has happened.

10 minutes left - long enough for one last loooong Skype call.

If you have a link Id love to see that. Were there any long term effects for them?

It was a PBS episode of Nova season 47, episode 6 called "The Truth About Fat." I think you can stream it on YouTube TV, and your local PBS station might show it again this week. They usually show the same episode several times within a month. It didn't really go into the long-term consequences or follow-ups, but it really made me see these folks differently, as I already said. Of course, not every overweight person is leptin resistant, but I think anyone who has struggled with being overweight for a long time should look into it.

90 day Ed would like Boll and Branch sheets. 

[Gbb]

God I hope we get either a huge success or a huge train wreck next week. We deserve it. We’ve suffered for it. 

[ams1001]

Daughter sick, dropping out.

You can still eat better.

Nova season 47....that is a real nod to quality tv. 47 seasons and still relevant! 

Thank you. 

 

[Hellga]

I called it... she is dropping out of the program.  Pity, another mediocre episode.

She can't just send him a postcard or an email saying I Quit?

Leneatha: "It's been a long couple of months."

BITCH, YOU HAVEN'T HAD TO SIT THROUGH THIS EPISODE. IT FEELS LIKE YEARS. IT'S BEEN SO LONG, I FEEL LIKE I'VE HAD THREE BIRTHDAYS SINCE I USED THIS SAME GIF ON PAGE ONE OF THIS THREAD.

Lots of dead chickens happened.

Oh she prayed. The lord told her to stick with the nuggets. OK

[Twopper]

Good night everyone,  til next time, if there is a next time.  And stay 6 feet away from me in the forums. 

[Suzywriter]

Where is Len finding these startling dresses? 

[umgoblue]

Program on hold...list a few excuses (daughter, blah, blah, blah).

BINGO!

Thanks love! I used to watch nova all the time. Really great show.

[Armchair Critic]

Finally we had somebody we were actually rooting for and she totally dropped the ball

I wish I had been wrong. 

[Scratches19]

She prayed on it. To the snack cake, fried chicken and coleslaw gods? How disappointing.

And we're more interested in pie crust methods rather than the show!

[Kid]

Who did not see this coming??  Too bad.  

[babyhouseman]

She's just using her daughter for an excuse. She doesn't want to diet.

[Snarkastikate]

Seriously, no matter how hard life has been, despite your daughters illness, despite working extra shifts,  it doesn't take up any extra time to JUST NOT EAT.   

[Suzywriter]

Len...you have shoes! You have sheets! You make your bed! You have a table! You take care of your child! You walk! Don't give up!!

The only exception to the “no spoilers“ rule allowed. Hahahaha. 

[Hellga]

OK, now I am legitimately hungry and I can go have my chili, which has been simmering for 4 hours.  At least for one of those hours I was walking outside, and for two I was here with you all.  And without all of you these two hours would have felt like ten.

I dont think Ive laughed in a few weeks. Thank you.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

[umgoblue]

HE FINALLY ASKED, Y'ALL, HE FINALLY ASKED!!!

What does any of that have to do with you not being able to follow the diet???

'Bout time!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Oh no!    Leneatha needs to take her daughter to a specialist in Houston for another opinion.  I'm a great advocate of second opinions, especially since they have world class hospitals in Houston. 

Where is Leneatha buy the last two dresses?   They're hideous.  

Dr. Now is telling the truth.  

[MsVixen]

What happened to the liquid diet for 3 days to see if she was having problems losing weight?

[mmecorday]

Yeah, this has been a snooze fest, but I don't find myself as enraged as I was at last week's idiot catfisher.

[ams1001]

Why is every conversation she has with him so repetitive?

[Brooklynista]

I can't eat grilled chicken and drink water because I have to take care of my daughter 🙄🙄

[Julyolo]

 Okay, so Leneathaa has decided to commit to an extended suicide. Way to prioritize your daughter! It was great visiting with you all after so long, see you soon and stay well.

[umgoblue]

So your daughter can't eat the food that you eat?  Inquiring minds want to know.

I had look up car spoiler then I laughed.

[Concerned]

Hope she doesn’t guilt trip her daughter that she is so fat because she had to drop out take deal with the child’s asthma.

[mmecorday]

It's not over until the fat lady sings...

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh here we go. I certainly hope, when she dies young from complications of diabetes or a stroke or heart attack, exacerbated by her extreme overweight, that her daughter doesn't ever see this show. "I have to take care of my daughter so I have to put my own life at risk". That certainly won't screw her up or anything.
