S08.E19: Charity & Charly & Teretha LIVE CHAT

[ams1001]

Nice to see two people who don't immediately reject the idea of therapy, at least.

Hey Pounders! Finally here.  How are y'all doing?

Eating habit: chicken, cabbage and zucchini bread (read: bored baking).

But, can I digress for a minute, I just finished watching 90DFB90D...
 

  Reveal spoiler

HOLY SHIT, LANA IS REAL?!?!?! MIND BLOWN...
Although the woman who showed up is NOT woman in the pictures (shh!)

 

Did you see the leaked reunion episode?

I wonder if the mouth movement is Tardive Dyskinesia? It's a side effect of certain medications, and makes a person seem to be chewing, blowing, pursing or doing other odd mouth things. 

It's because she has no teeth.  Entire structure of the face changes completely without teeth.  Or dentures.  

[Guest]

What is Charity babbling about with the "skin removal" again? She's STILL wearing a drain from her LAST "skin removal" procedure.

The toothless wonder is just a ray of sunshine, ain’t she?

When Charly said she was "in her own little world" I wondered if she's on drugs again...

You gained weight and you're surprised he didn't bring up skin surgery?

The delusion is strong with most poundticipants.

Nobody every accused her of being too tightly tethered to reality.

I can't believe that with all of the weight that Charity lost, she still looks huge.   She must be short?  

She's also very misshapen. She has oddly short legs and her skeleton seems permanently twisted from having had weight in such strange places.

I hope you all didn't need your mamas too much over Mother's day. 

My mother passed away just over a month ago. It was a tough mother’s day .

My eating habit was a chicken taco salad. 

I watched the original episode. So...Charity...meth mouth? I hope Charly can figure thinks out.

How is it that I can't catch up, although there is nothing really happening yet?!?!

And, didn't Charity say she was going to show Dr. Now he was wrong about her needing therapy or some such nonsense.

Sheesh. They are always "working so hard," and can NEVER understand how they managed to GAIN weight between appointments, and when things are obviously going in the wrong direction, they are hellbent on "proving that Dr. Now Is WRONG" about "me/my body/my needing therapy/whatever."

And she couldn't care less that the whole world sees that drain thing flopping around.  Take a cue from your daughter, cover up those hideous legs with a long black tank dress or a pair of pants!!

Yep.  I am only missing one tooth - if not for coronavirus, I would have had an implant placed this week, now I don't know when it will happen - and when I don't put my temp in, my mouth twists sideways and doesn't look right... and it's only one tooth!  Without any, her face is skull-like.

Also, what happened to Dr Now's blinged-out stethoscope? He's wearing the Basic Bitch stethoscope tonight.

This show is providing me with too many questions and not enough entertainment. 

Was it during the scene where his comments are shaded in sepia?  And he looks years younger?  The clips for this episode are old!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

That Smothered commercial makes me more nauseous than watching Dr Pol castrate a donkey.

When you're as big as she was, your whole skeleton shifts to try to support the weight. My mom is discovering that she's somewhat bowlegged now between the weight and her arthritis.  

One thing that I always tried is to make sure that when I walk that I stride forward without waddling. It seems to have helped because even at my heaviest, I was able to walk normally. 

[Chicklet]

I get to go to the dentist for a cleaning tomorrow , yay! Sad that;s the highlight of my week.

Er other than this live chat of course.

She's one of the most misshapen poundicipants ever. Nothing is symmetrical or shaped like a normal person's parts. I don't think I'll ever understand how people let themselves get into that condition. On the other hand, I'm motivated to do a 20 mile bike ride tomorrow morning.

At least she lost that useless lump of a "fiancé." I'm pretty sure he emerged from the ooze in the shallow end of the gene pool..

Someone had the uncut episode and said it ran about 10 hours.  Even with all this sheltering-in-place for us old folks,  I just  couldn't watch that much.

Having said that, I just finished watching the last season of Downton Abbey and the movie so I can't brag about not spending long hours watching stuff.

Nah ... it was the new one where he had to listen to the whining about the removing of skin.

I watched a Tiger King in a day lol

YO Pounders!!!!  How are y'all?

My eating habits were an Applebee's grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and garlic mashed potatoes.  

I DID stay within my calorie count!  😍

I'm still trying to complete all 5 seasons of Outlander (Starz) before my free trial ends, lol. I just really got into that show!

[PaTatertots]

 At least Charly seems motivated so far, and willing to go to therapy! She seems receptive to what the doc is saying. That's refreshing after last week and the failures of this entire season. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh ho, now the truth comes out. Charity is sabotaging Charly. 

[Hellga]

Is this counselor completely new to the show or have we seen her before?  I can't remember her at all.

[ams1001]

I like this therapist.

[Gbb]

Hey Pounders! Can’t decide if I want to see snark or success tonight. I just know Charly needs to get the hell away from Mom and get a life on her own!

I'm going crazy and letting the gray go wild. I'm tired of using hair color and I have no clue what color my hair is anyway since I dyed it red and I'm a blonde.Should be interesting.

I lost interest in the show after the first few seasons, but love the books.

We've seen her.  She is just a little heavier than before.

Oh, great...now Charity's drinking, too. Really hope that pill issue has been resolved or she's gonna get skin surgery in heaven.

Just finished a nice sweaty calorie-burning workout.

1761 calories today including my current beverage, beer.

Wearing my 34 waist black Levis (I'm a male), should I cut the tags off my turquoise 34 waist Levis ? Only bought them because I LOVE turquoise and 10 bucks at Marshalls 2 years ago, but hey life is short and you only live once !

You had best be careful, @7EasyPayments.  Pauline really likes turquoise.  If you ever see her, run before she tackles you.

[sainte-chapelle]

Wait did she say mom is drinking? Carly needs to save herself

[CrazyInAlabama]

All of the mother/daughter poundticipant duos are so strange, with the daughter being the adult, and the mother being the child (Charity & Charlie, Jennifer & Marissa).   

( A hint for those who decide to do their own roots, or all over color, get the kits without ammonia, they aren't as damaging, don't stink, and if they get on towels or something else, it washes right out.   However, a friend taught me how to color my hair, and the most important factor is plenty of touch of paint, for those little splashes of color that mysteriously appear on walls)

Yay, Charly, move out! Get a place of your own and learn to cook. You'll be fine.

I seem to recall her, and that she's a WLS person herself.

Me too. I can't wait. That two inches of gray is not a good look for me. Manicure, too. Pedi and facial have to wait a few more weeks.

[Kid]

So, mom is a drunk, a drug addict, and a food addict.  I hope Charly makes it because she deserves a life.   You cannot lift an active addict up. They can only drag you down.  I think she is starting to see that and she needs to get away from her mother.

Edited May 14, 2020 by Kid

[Hana Chan]

Charley may be reaching the point where she'll need to seperate from her mother out of self-preservation. It's a sad dynamic and I'm just grateful that my mom and I can really support one another on our weight loss journeys. I don't hesitate to call her out if she gets off track and she does the same for me. This situation with Charley who's so damn young is just so sad.

Oh. So Charity is drinking now? Addicts are gonna addict!
