The beginning screen said this 'journey' was one year and 4 months, so it's gonna be a long night, folks.

I'm hoping for a covid time-jump.

Damn, that cough doesn't sound good.

[Hana Chan]

Irene really needs to be evaluated for pulmonary/cardiac issues immediately. Her weight is just compromising a woman who's already in extremely poor health.

[mmecorday]

I haven't seen someone cough that much since the last time I saw "La Traviata."

[umgoblue]

She coughed and Dr. Now took a huge step back.  His face was priceless. I can't stop laughing....

And now she rubbing her nose...cough... S'cuse me y'all...back to rubbing her nose.  I can't.

 

ETA:  AND NOW SHE IS SNORTING!

Dr. Now is going to get Covid.

I hope her five children found adults that could offer parenting. The world is challenging and it would be tough to make your way with so little that Irene is able to provide them. The drug addiction, morbid obesity, single parenting, slim education, poverty, homelessness. That’s a lot for a child to overcome.

I can already tell she is only here to bullshit herself and try to bullshit Dr. Now.  There, I've saved us all an hour.

You're a hero!!

I just got to the point where she tells Dr. Now she blacks out daily when coughing, so this episode may have perked up a bit...

[Eldemarge]

That COUGH.  X-ray her whole head.

[LizzyB]

OMG the nose rubbing.  I can't.

Blow, Irene. Blow!

I'm jealous. I suffer from cankles.

Ditto. My cankles have cankles.

[Brooklynista]

Nuh uh! That is bout the nastiest cough. I want to give Dr. Now a Silkwood shower after being in that room.

[umgoblue]

I wasn't paying attention that she was coughing and snorting on Lolita!!!  DEAD...(and hope Lolita isn't too)

[Kid]

This woman is awful and she has not even gotten geared up yet.

[7EasyPayments]

 

[babyhouseman]

I hope she didn't spread Covid through the screen.

Ruh roh, whenever someone in the movies coughs, they die by the end...

Immediate flashback to Cher in Moonstruck, talking about the operatic performer singing while coughing her lungs out.  

[TazDevil]

Good Lord!!  Dr. Now get the hell out of that room STAT!!  All that coughing and snorting and hacking and nose rubbing.

The woman who eats all day long. "I have a lot of willpower."

Narrator: She did not, in fact, have any willpower.

Probably while I was out whipping up the whipping cream for my mocha. (No regrets!)

[aliya]

Isn't coughing one of the signs of heart failure? With her passing out all the time, could she have major cardiac problems?

[Twopper]

Dr Now just said "you are going to be 600 pound" but I thought they just weighed her and she was already 603/4ish.

[Hana Chan]

I can understand how losing your parents can throw you for a deep emotional loop. My mom passed away this January and I've been a wreak ever since. Admittedly I'm up a few pounds because I started stress eating when she got her cancer diagnosis and I'm just now getting a handle on that. But I recognize what and why I was eating the way I was and now can get back on track. As hard as it is, you can't use these things as excuses forever. Otherwise you end up on an ugly stretch dress and no panties on this show.

She ate too fast and stuck a fork in her forehead. 

Or unfortunate incident with someone trying to take cuts in the buffet line.

Hi All!  Late to the party today...  I am having a sucky day - I saw a mouse scurrying clear across my apartment in the morning, and then I had a package of gourmet cheese sent for a teambuilding even tomorrow stolen because FedEx says they delivered it, and it was definitely not in the mailroom. And that's on top of near-sleepless night because I was working on a presentation I have to give tomorrow morning.  I decided to take a bath to salvage my day and of course lost track of time. 

Hope this one will be a good one.  No eating habit today yet... will be leftover garlic shrimp and sweet potato fries (made from frozen in my oven) and a piece of apple pie.

[CrazyInAlabama]

That cough sounds like the last act of Camille (isn't that the movie where she dies of TB in the end? )   I hope they do a chest xray, and a full cardiac workup.   

So out of five kids, she only sees one?    And he's the oldest that she's leaching off of?

I have dubbed that the "cough twice and fall over movie syndrome". Clearly, she has coughed more than twice, and lived!

[Chicklet]

She probably has lung and heart issues ugh.

Because she weighs 523 and they never updated the script he was reading from!

[PaTatertots]

The SNORTING. Must we!? 

My bff's uncle used to do that while he was eating and it drove me nuts  (she and I were roomies during senior year and college and living in our own place, and her mom and grandma came every Sunday to give us a big meal that didn't include ramen. 😂 he usually came along to to do any handy tasks, but mealtime was awful)

 

I cackled at Cameo and Dr. Now 

"So you enable her?"

"I do NOT!"

 

Her poor niece could barely see over the Mount Everest of BK she brought over, too. That was a disgusting amount of food. 

[Hellga]

So this lady can get a fancy manicure but not put on underwear?  OK.  I don't have high hopes for her.

She said the others are with relatives, so it might be that she sees them, but only lives with the one adult (and way more adult than mom) child.

I can't be the only person on this list forum who believes that the mouse got the cheese, right? 😂 But for real, I'm sorry your day sucked.

We're clearly a forum, much like the Ancient Greeks.

What a day! I hope you at least get the reward of having the poundticipant make it to surgery in under 2 hours.

Why does Cameo have to cook for her??

[mmecorday]

Irene acts like she's on morphine.

My husband is a drummer and in his college days (70's) he was in a successful funk/rock/r&b band in Houston. They opened for Cameo one time! 

[DropTheSoap]

Just now, Chicklet said:

Because standing for more than a minute is too much.

[umgoblue]

Is she actively engaged in this process at all?  Cameo is responsible for everything for her.  This does not bode well.

Edited March 11, 2021 by umgoblue
Because Cameo is not Lolita.

[Guest]

Calling it right now: This is not Irene's apartment. This is some AirBnB that TLC organized for a couple months and decorated with some garbage they found in the clearance aisle at HomeGoods. It looks EXACTLY like all those fake apartments/home the "stars" of Love After Lockup live in -- no personal items, no clutter, completely clean, and recently decorated. WTF with this episode. Everything seems completely FAKE. And that's saying something for this show. 

[babyhouseman]

They're advertising Dunkin Donuts on here.

[7EasyPayments]

Huh, she looks fatter in the longer dress, NO CHEEEEEZZZZZZZ
