Paper plates 'n' Solo cups...

Check!

[Chicklet]

That's a whole lot of pancakes there.

[poeticlicensed]

Its pancake time folks!

[Pepper Mostly]

He's shoveling the pancakes down so fast he's got maple syrup all over his shirt. Sheesh.

[Hellga]

Ah, the lucky sibling who flew the oversized coop and married a more reasonably sized woman...  the father looks almost pixie-ish compared to the rest of them.

[babyhouseman]

He was underweight as a child. I don't think I've seen this on the show before.

I've heard and seen awful things. People are going to their cars to get warm. Pipes are bursting, people are getting power for 20 minutes at a time before it goes out again. People are dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. It's grim. 

And the rest of his family. 

Yea the news in Canada land says that because the Governor elected to not secure back  up power from other states they are now basically screwed. Not sure if true but that is awful.

Is it true people are freezing to death in their own homes in Texas? I hope everyone is safe.

I read an article by a guy who said his dog's water dish froze solid. Also saw a picture of someone's bathtub frozen with a bowl sitting on top of the ice (for proof, I guess). 

I also heard about a mother and daughter who died of CO poisoning trying to warm up in the car. 😞 Don't run the car in the garage, folks.

[Guest]

Poor Isaac. He was hypoallergetic.

[Arynm]

Did he just say he was hypo-allergenic? Is that a thing?

I'll have 12 thousand pancakes. Please.

totally craving pancakes now...

[ShortyMac]

Dinner was pulled pork (pork shoulder) made in the crock pot, with loaded broccoli (bacon, cheese, sour cream). Wanted something comforting.

Hi alll! 

Did I miss the shower? 

Eating habit: vegetable curry and a poached egg on top. 

No shower I guess he didn't want the extra cash.

[Suzywriter]

Nice looking home cooking!

[Kid]

OMG, his mother is really big!!

[aliya]

Whew! Mom his huge.

He certainly didn't look underweight. He looked like a normal chubby toddler. But of course, look at his family. Comparatively, he was teeny tiny.

He's a poodle evidently.

[Hellga]

He is eating more pancakes in one sitting than I eat in an average year.  Though to be fair I am more of a crepe girl anyway.

[hookedontv]

All the eating with hands on this show always grosses me out.

Exactly.  He was only underweight to his elephantine mother.

[sainte-chapelle]

Dinner for me was veggie pasta and red wine

Good evening, I ate Hello fresh apricot Miso chicken 

How do you make that? Is is just miso w/apricont preserves? Sounds great.

And they cheaped out when building plants and didn't winterize the pipes in the natural gas plants and the turbines. 

[Guest]

I am dyyyyyyying at this lazy TLC filming. Like there's no way his mother is gonna sit on the sofa and sit silently around staring at Isaac plow Chex Mix into his mouth. 

[Suzywriter]

His mom was really gorgeous when she was younger. 

[Chicklet]

Mom is....very spherical.

A friend of. mine posted a picture of her pool. Frozen solid. 

[MsVixen]

Mom is pushing 400 pounds easily....

[Scarlett45]

Hi friends! I made it to the chat. 
 

He had to quit band??? That’s so sad!

[hookedontv]

Now I’m craving Chex Mix.

It's made with miso, apricot preserves and grated ginger. Very tasty.

[fonfereksglen]

Those Reeses mini cups are calling to me!

[poeticlicensed]

I have noticed an inverse relationship between size of pets and size of humans in our pounder families

[mmecorday]

Well, I guess I have been opening bags of Chex Mix wrong all my life. Apparently you're supposed to pop open the back seam.

[sainte-chapelle]

Here is my thing with ‘fat shaming’. Is it wrong to say you are over feeding your 6 year old and it is unhealthy? I mean, most kids don’t know they are obese until they hit school or it is pointed out. Loaded question I know. 

[poeticlicensed]

Too fat for band!!

[Pepper Mostly]

He quit band rather than try to lose a few pounds? That's really sad. He loved Chex mix more than music. 

[MsVixen]

Don't think I've ever seen a morbidly obese cancer patient.....

[Guest]

OMG! He had a full scholarship! His only shot in life!

 

[poeticlicensed]

Why did he have to give up college?? He had a scholarship!

[snarkish]

Here I am grasping at the positives. 

Clean home, no shower scene, everyone dressed properly. People speaking clearly without mushmouth and subtitles Loving family without any abuse 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Isaac Martinez, 23 years old from Hutchins, TX.   He moved home to take care of his mother, and now he can't stand to cook, or go outside.

Who is that woman?   His sister?    She's just as big as Isaac. 

 Those pancakes look wonderful.    100 lbs. at 6 years old.     Grandmother died, lost the house, moved in with family, mother had a stroke, and he took care of his five siblings.   Over 300 lbs at 14.   

He was huge as an infant, and toddler.  

Bad job blurring the Domino's pizza boxes.    Drive thru?  I couldn't figure out if that was McD's, but it sounds like it.

[Arynm]

When you open a bag of chex mix like that, you have to eat the entire thing, am I right?

[ams1001]

Is he eating Chex mix and peanut butter cups together?

[Pepper Mostly]

God, he's only 23?? That is terrible. 

And he hides behind being the family caretaker to avoid his own problems. 

[Chicklet]

How on earth did they do mom's surgery when she was THAT HUGE?

[mk828]

Very like-able guy tonight! Plus, he's a band kid. Proud band geek here!

Not to be rude or mean, but can you be that big and have cancer? My stepfather had lung cancer. At 6'4", he was never really heavy, but boy, even tho he kept his appetite, he got terribly thin. 

[hookedontv]

25 pizzas
