Dig deep, everybodies! We can do this.  Five minutes left.

She's horrible and passive aggressive and selfish and yet still boring. 

Quite remarkable, now that you mention it.

I think I am going to brush my teeth and go to bed.

Good night, my peeps.  Til next time, if there is a next time. 

[HulaTallula]

She's going to get fired by Dr. Now.

A bit slower, maybe. But she's at a dead stop, her foot is on the brake, and she's acting like it's a mystery why the car isn't moving. 

She doesn't want to lose weight and she's surrounded by enablers. I rarely say it, but cut her loose. 

[MelissaMinion]

If Dr Now kicks her to the curb, poor Sandy is stuck with her. The Jabba That Stayed Forever.

I tried turkey bacon a couple times but it just doesn't taste good to me.  I prefer real bacon. 

I do too.. I had a heart attack and open heart surgery within the last 3 years, so I have the TB to make me feel better about eating it. Still treat myself to regular bacon every so often

This show was a waste of all of our fucking time. They should have just cut if off 90 minutes ago and played cartoons for the rest of the time slot.

[Suzywriter]

nobody is listening because you're not saying anything.

That journey was from a bed to a chair to a hospital bed back to a chair.  That's two hours worth of excitement.  

TLC perpetrating some serious grift on all of us...calling this a "show."

[Floatingbison]

I FUCKIN' KNEW IT!!!! IT'S A TWO PARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aliya]

No, Dr Now! Don't give her any more time.

BTW, Wayfair sucks. I worked there. 

That's surprising! It's consistently on the "Best Places to Work" lists here. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Cindy...your body is telling you that time is up.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Listen: I’m special. I need more time to lose weight. My fat is the special kind that  needs extra time. 
 

Aslo, everyone is mean. 

[mmecorday]

She'll try to lose more weight? She hasn't lost any weight!

[Kid]

So, why is Sandy bringing her the food????

She is not going to the appointments because she is stuffing her face.

Again, why is Sandy bringing her the food??

That’s a good point. 

Also, those beds do not come cheap, even with insurance. If Cindy is from another state, there might be a problem getting her benefits moved to Texas, so they could get the bed.

Cindy's from Portland, down near Corpus. So no issue with that, but if she's got TX Medicaid, good luck squeezing them for a dime. 

[Suzywriter]

Maybe the REAL plotlines are on Discovery +.

[Floatingbison]

She is soooo boring.... this is how I like my fat people

[MelissaMinion]

“Nobody cares about what I need...” 

No, Cindy, they don’t you rolled over them and flattened their will to deal with you!

Holy fuck Cindy missed another appointment?!?!? Excuses excuses. 

She had some paperwork to do and things to organize and she needed a shower and there was a spot of dust she needed to pick off her hand and Mercury was in retrograde and . . . and . . . and . . . .

Don't buy it. Abusive, hostile workplace.

Yeah..but...

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.........

[PaTatertots]

YT TV says another Melissa M next week. 

I swear if this one cries too, I quit. 😂

She's from Texas, a few hours away.

"A controlled environment isn't going to work for me."

You mean you don't WANT it to work, because you don't want to be somewhere where they can control your diet. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Nobody's listening to her because she keeps asking for double cheese pizzas and KFC. 

I love how she voice overs "I'll keep trying my hardest", while we see her lying in bed, staring blankly at the wall. 

"I've given up too much"?? WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN UP?

Ding Dong, yo, Ding Dong.

[Suzywriter]

Oh, shut up woman. Hard on you...all you do is lie in one spot.

[dreadfulLeigh]

I am done with that creepy ass smile. 

[Brooklynista]

I feel like I've watched the entire episode but I guess I missed something.  What exactly is the "so much" Cindy has given up? I just watched 2 hours of her laying here and over there. 

[sainte-chapelle]

“ I worked so hard there is no point in continuing”  worked hard on what ?!?!? Eating?!?!? 

[dreadfulLeigh]

What the hell did she give up!!??

[MelissaMinion]

At least she is leaving Sandy’s house!

[Kid]

You would think she does something productive considering how much she worries about wasting time.  

[WonTon]

You gave up what?!?!? You do NOTHING!

[HulaTallula]

You gave up a lot?? You're suffering? 

From what, an inability to call Uber Eats for more fried chicken? 

[Suzywriter]

Putting yourself through all what??

Any psychologists or social workers here? Is it ever allowed to tell a client,"Looks like you don't want to change. That's fine. I'll sign your release. Have a safe trip back home."  ?

I've been retired for several years, but as a clinical social worker/therapist, I was definitely allowed to fire a patient.  It's impossible to work with someone if you want them to get better more than they want to get better.  I also could have tried to get them set up with a different therapist who might have met their needs better.

[mk828]

She's smirking thinking about that Popeye's family meal she is going to eat as soon as she gets home. 

[Splashes]

Wow this was a massive waste of time. She never even tried. Also her caregiver is a saint.

[Guest]

Who's with me in the class action lawsuit I'm gonna file tomorrow so we can sue Cindy for wasting our time?

[Snarkastikate]

TOLD YOU SO, she's moving back home.  Done.  Over.  

[mmecorday]

What the hell did she give up!!??

Her car? Did she give up her car?

[aliya]

"I gave up a lot to try for this." ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Go on home. You didn't want to do this to begin with, you wanna eat, so go home and eat.  Save up for a double-wide coffin.

[ams1001]

"I've learned a lot."

Like what?

[dreadfulLeigh]

Did they really need to fill that whooollle hour slot??

[WonTon]

Ugh. Where are my grapes?

[LizzyB]

GOOD NIGHT!
