Jeez - every time they go to Teretha, the music makes me think somebody died.

I'm surprised that nobody has.

[ams1001]

Y'know, my scale actually is off. But it's about 5 pounds low, so I won't complain.

[Kid]

What does she mean she’s DONE with all of this. To be done, you have to START.

[sainte-chapelle]

Ok I had pizza rolls and wine but I had fresh veggies and hummus for lunch...balance Teretha!

My college cafeteria had pictures of farm scenes of nearby towns in the cafeteria. One of them was Intercourse.

I've been to Intercourse, PA near Amish country. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, its the strain and the stress that's too much to handle. What with the sitting in bed and having to make excuses for steadily gaining back every ounce you've lost.

More like "patient is bat shit crazy".

[PrincessPurrsALot]

It's hard to convince Dr. Now that you're working hard and losing weight when you're skyping from your bed.  She could at least try to move to a chair; that is, if she has one that she can fit in.

She can't do any more?  She never did anything.  She only lost weight in the hospital under a strict diet.  I think she lost over 200 pounds in the hospital so you would think that would have impressed on her the fact that the diet works.    Looks like she is bed bound again--or close to it.    I want to slap her.

Looks like Charlie is the only success.   Good for her.

Or "Patient thinks I'm blind."

[Snarkastikate]

Teretha is so uber obese that if she just ate a LITTLE TINY bit less say every other damn day, she would have way exceeded Dr Now's goal many times over.  To maintain that weight she must be eating practically 24/7.

They also have all of those great Amish style restaurants, with enough food to get you on this show very quickly.

I can't believe I'm getting urinary tract additive commercials. 

I think I zoned out for a few minutes, is Teretha's husband still around?  

So Charity's on Dr. Now's 1200 calorie diet, quit drinking Cold Turkey?  So that means she changed to Jack Daniels?

I filled up this weekend at Costco because why not🤷‍♀️.  Filled up mid-March and my tank was was 3/4 full, but I appreciated the $1.99 gas (west coast).  Gas is like high school days prices/gallon.  Asked family in Michigan how much gas was and my cousin had just filled up for $.88/gallon.  What?!?!

Oil, anyone?

I haven't benefited from the new prices because I haven't needed gas. Wow - just looked at 'Gas Buddy.' Gas is $1.68 at the Kum and Go. Y'all can smile if you want to. I laughed for about 6 months when I first got here.

Even moving to a wheelchair would show a little bit of activity.

Nah, he’s over Teretha. He’s making notes about what to include in his online dating profile.

Yum. 💋

There was a glorious time when our Patriots had Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola, and Jimmy Garappolo.  It was tough watching, but I managed. 😉

[PrincessPurrsALot]

You know, when you're heading to Intercourse, PA, depending on which route you take, you can end up in Blue Ball or Paradise.  And no, I am not joking.  Love those town names.

Don’t forget barking orders at the sick husband. 

And now she’s on oxygen. Better and better. 

Edited May 14, 2020 by DropTheSoap

[Minivanessa]

Wait. Teretha is yakking about all the progress she's made, and she's now on oxygen?

At least, stand or do jumping jacks or something. 

[ams1001]

You've gained weight and you haven't been to see him, but you expect Dr. Now to "acknowledge" all the hard work you've put in...

'k.

[7EasyPayments]

Granma !! We saw an elephant at the zoo smaller than YOU !!!!!!!!!!!

[CrazyInAlabama]

So now is she not only barely mobile, keeps gaining weight, but now she's on oxygen?  

Charity's going to learn to drive again?   I'm really scared for the people of Cedar Falls.

I was wondering also, but I see him in the background now.

[mmecorday]

Teretha: I'm not a woman who's a quitter.

Says the woman who just quit Dr. Now's program.

[MsVixen]

Teretha:  "I've made so much progress!" 

 

But she has an breathing tube up her nose.....

[Chicklet]

All that for failure? I feel defrauded.

Yay for Charly.

[aliya]

OM freaking Lord!  "I'll get weighed after I see the grand kids." There's a reason we don't have sympathy for these people.

[Caoimhe]

We all know how “figuring it out on my own” works.  That’s the end for Teretha.

[Snarkastikate]

She's on oxygen now?  And bedbound again?  Yet she thinks SHE'S the provider for her grandchildren??   HUH?????   Her delusions have delusions!!!   Charity is a major success compared to her.

[Pepper Mostly]

Butt wings!

When my cousin was little bitty, the first time she saw a giraffe at the zoo, she said, “Mama! Look at that CHICKEN!” 
 

[Guest]

LOL ... Charity is gonna get a DUI two minutes after she gets a license.

[Minivanessa]

So, Charity lost the butt wings and that creepy fiance, so there's that. She's ahead of Teretha for sure.

They look more like giant, squishy garlic.

He just sits.

Those things are scary. I can see them taking out a whole display in a grocery store all on their own.

[CrazyInAlabama]

So Charity pulls away without looking at the mirrors?   Not a good start.   I'm guessing her non driving status was encouraged by the local police, and judges? 

Edited May 14, 2020 by CrazyInAlabama

[Kid]

Looks like Charly’s decision was beneficial to Charity as well.  That is good.  She was forced to become self sufficient.

[Armchair Critic]

I hope she doesn’t drive drunk or next show Charity will be on is COPS

[mmecorday]

I think we'll all sleep well after this snoozer of an episode. See you later, lovelies.

[babyhouseman]

Maybe the grandchildren would like a grandmother who will walk and do things with them.

[sainte-chapelle]

No more Charley....boooo

[ams1001]

"become the mom I need for her"

She's an adult! You don't get a do-over.

[Concerned]

I was at the rehab clinic that treated Superman and they were teaching stroke victims to drive again. Frightening place to walk.

[Snarkastikate]

Ok now if Charity learns to drive again, quits drinking, gets a job and maybe some nice new dentures, I'm thinking SUCCESS.   Who woulda thunk it!!!

[ShortyMac]

Inspirational drive in a parking lot! Innovative!

[umgoblue]

"Going to get a job:

Me: (slapping my leg) Sure, you are!

Isn't driving a car like riding a bike?!  Do you need to be retaught?
