S09.E04: Cindy's Story LIVE CHAT

[Kid]

Her friend is in denial.  She is not willing to change. She just got done saying that, if she goes to Dr. Now, she will have to give up food.

This is going fast tonight! And oh yea a depressed whiner. Has she not eaten in any minute of this so far?

I did notice abuse already, what else did I miss?

She fell down the stairs, injured her leg, so thus she was partially bed-bound.

Any sign of the obligatory stretched and  faded tattoo yet?

I'm too scared to check.

Call Dr Now on 1800 fatty fat

My friend, I just laughed so loud I almost fell out of bed!

Who was the other poundticipant who was all purple and blotchy like that? Its so terrible looking, and can't indicate anything healthy.

Impaired blood flow, inflamed capillary beds and stretched veins.  Nothing good indeed.  I imagine her medical charts would wrap around the equator if printed out.

How will she get there? Sexy men with an ambulance? Cattle train?

Take the last train to Fatsville.....sung to the Monkees.

What does this moaning behemoth have to bring to a friendship? I'm genuinely curious. 

Eh... feeling better about yourself and your own life by comparison?  

My Dad loved watching really dumb movies, he said "It's nice to feel so much smarter than the writers".

Cindy's vocal fry is really annoying!

Most of the poundtcipients drone on in a monotone which would put me to sleep if I were not live chatting.  

[Chicklet]

I hope it's sexy men with the ambulance.

I guess she needs someone to ask her, "Do you wanna die?  Do you really wanna die?  Eat death Cindy!"

I think she brings need.  There are people who love to be needed, and she is a whopping big bag of need.  Not my thing at all, but I've seen this dynamic.

WELL, TLC is hiccuping on me tonight for some reason. It keeps pausing and once it said to try again later. Damn Xfinity. I guess I'll go see what Joe has to say in his speech over on ABC which is working fine for some reason. Not that excited anyway, since the beginning of this two hour episode it said it was SIX MONTHS of her journey. WTH?

Enjoy, Pounders!

Spectrum is doing the same thing

Hey, she's a being of pure joy. Bringing happiness and sunshine to all hospital beds she inhabits, okay? Sheesh.😂😉

[Floatingbison]

Please let her have a deep fat fryer on the mattress.   That's the ultimate in fatty fat fatness.

[CrazyInAlabama]

I bet cellulitis, and infections, combined with her diabetes are what will do her in someday.     She already was in a hospital for a year, lost 100 lbs., down to 450 or so, and gained it all back.   I'm guessing this will be six months of total failure told in two hours. 

Everyone is on fire tonight.

That's why they push you to walk as soon as they possibly can without re-injury.  Because the longer you wait (aka if you pity yourself) the more likely you are to end up like this.  Physical therapy after a major injury or surgery feels like hell, but working through it is the only way.   Unfortunately, a typical poundticipant has all the resilience of wet toilet paper. 

[aliya]

"So what's going on with you?"  Great opening, Dr Now. Never change.

[Floatingbison]

"Dis is a seriouss sisuasion."  Please say it, Dr. Now . . . please say it for me.

[7EasyPayments]

Has she put on any clothes yet ?

[Pepper Mostly]

What a rich life. Splayed on her bed like a beached whale, blubbering and moaning, while she waits for her next taco.

[umgoblue]

I can see the benefits of having a built-in table for the laptop.  😆

[ams1001]

The home health aides must get frustrated with people who refuse to do anything to improve their situation. That poor woman's back must be in great danger.

She doesn't even have the energy for bed frying.

[Floatingbison]

No tats, but I see she has an eyebrow stud thing.  

[Chicklet]

Does the provider live with her? So many questions.

[mmecorday]

Hello, Pounders! I am late to the game, because I didn’t know the new season started

That's because TLC is too busy promoting its rip off streaming service.

[Floatingbison]

Eat twice a day?  Bull fucking shit, lady.

But she doesn't want to go to Houston because she is afraid to give up this wonderful existence.

[Hellga]

She eats twice a day?  Wow, I thought it was just one non-stop 20-hour a day mealtime!

[Guest]

Of COURSE you never get hunger pains -- you'd have to be HUNGRY first.

[Kid]

She does not wear clothes but wears jewelry??

She only eats TWICE a day!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Edited January 21, 2021 by Kid

[CrazyInAlabama]

No, she told the truth, breakfast last for hours, and then dinner fills up the rest of the day, so it's only two meals.

My dad got a new hip almost a year ago (!) and they had him up the next morning. Would probably have been the same day but his surgery was supposed to be in the morning and got pushed to later in the day.

[umgoblue]

I would honestly have a hard time guesstimating my weight if I were that large.  Perhaps she said 600# because she knows that the show is titled M600PL and she is a Poundticipant?

[PaTatertots]

Twice a day?

I'm the queen of England then. I'll accept Your Eminence, or Your Royal Wonderfulness. Thank you.

Maybe those bracelets and rings just got stuck in her fat folds and now cannot be removed unless you cut the jewelry.  Or the limbs.  

[LizzyB]

Dr. Now just said something like what my mother, a health provider, says:  you never see super fat people who are also old.  Age 45 is pushing it.  I fear for her (and this episode!).

You dun kilt me.  Kilt me, I says!

[Pepper Mostly]

How could she possibly get hunger pains? She's constantly shoveling food down her maw, she never gives herself a chance to get hungry! 

At least she didn't insult his intelligence with stories of yogurt and sugar free jam and grapes. 

[Chicklet]

Priorities, gosh.

I can see her in a nice tablecloth with a hole cut out for her head. Festive for Christmas, Easter, etc.

[Floatingbison]

I'm already looking forward to the "lift into the van" scene.

She eats twice a day. From 8 AM until 1 PM, and from 2 PM until 8 PM. 

[Kid]

You need to quit eating!!!

It really depends on how she defines Day.  In her world, a Day equals two hours!

[Floatingbison]

Ambulance?  That's no fun.  They won't stop at any fast food places.  They're ruining everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meal 1 is 8am to 4:30 or so pm, then dinner is 5pm til bedtime.

[Guest]

OMG this is going to be another one of those episodes isn't it? It feels like this has been on for HOURS and yet it's barely 8:30.

 

[aliya]

I bet she has a number of doctors. They all know how she can lose weight and I'm sure they've tried to help. She was in a facility, lost weight, then gained it back. Newsflash everyone: SHE.DOESN'T.WANT.TO.STOP.EATING. 

[Floatingbison]

Ambulance bill will be $3500, easy.

You start eating in the morning.  Take one break.  Then eat straight through the rest of the day.  It's a two meal a day eating plan.
