I know. That's my tragedy of elder years. 

Me too. It’s like Nora Ephron and her neck. I can’t stop being upset about my thinning hair.

[babyhouseman]

Does the hotel have a pool or exercise room? Maybe she's not allowed there.

[Suzywriter]

A ham store.

threw a subway sandwich at him which then ricocheted around the van. I laugh every time I think about it. Those were the good old days

Right? Back in the days when real shit happened and they didn't rely on the TLC Folding Table™️ to create action.

Thank you to whichever editor decided we didn't need to hear her whining as she got back in the van.  My ears are still recovering from the hotel drama.  Elevator of death! Bed requiring feats of gymnastics to mount!  Lacerated fingers!  I am surprised she survived Death Hotel. 

Was she staying at The Cecil?

[dreadfulLeigh]

What’s the history with ham at Easter? Here lies Jesus (a, definitely not white, Jew), behold he has arisen. Giveth him the ham. 

[TazDevil]

Chrystal, the McDonald's drive-thru is NOWHERE in Dr. Now's book!!

[Drogo]

Yeah working hard at Mc Donald's.. no sympathy

[Guest]

I guess the hash browns are the "healthy" part of this order.

[SunnyBeBe]

I think I’m done with her....have fun all.  

[ams1001]

Burritos, sausage, bacon, eggs, hash browns, cinnamon rolls...

But I'm trying to eat healthy, really, Dr. Now!

[Auntie Anxiety]

That was quite an order at the drive through. Don’t tell Dr. Now.

[AnnaBanana]

OH MY WORD, she orders all of that after she says she's committed to doing whatever it takes?  She truly is not taking this seriously.  My prediction is either Dr. Now drops her or she dies...

[Eldemarge]

If she just pretends to read the diet pamphlet and flaps her arms a few times, maybe she could drop another 9 pounds!

[Guest]

I'm gonna start a GoFundMe to buy this woman a goddamned shirt.

If one is healthy, TWO is healthier!

Why ask these patients why they overeat?  It’s complex....like asking am alcoholic why they drink.  It’s not cause there’re thirsty.  

It’s a brilliant question, it measures the patient’s delusions and lying. The correct answer is they foolishly acted on immediate gratification with no regard for long term consequences. Also they are stupid and weak. But instead they act like they have no self awareness. Dr Now learns a lot from this question.

The neck issue resonates with me. I've been lifting weights with my face to try to fix my neck.

UM...all of those hash browns and blueberry muffins are not on Dr. Now's plan.

The one time a therapist leaves the door open for all to hear the session, risking all types of HIPAA violations...

 

Chrystal thought he meant HIPPO violations 

[Chicklet]

 OMG don'T drop the O2 tank woman!!

[TazDevil]

Does this apartment look like the one Steven Assanti had?

Some Poundticipant had that painted brick wall and vertical blinds.

[Guest]

It appears as if she's moved into Steven Assanti's old apartment.

You're going to need at least one bottle, maybe two.  

I'm thinking it may be time to break out a bottle of Scotch.

 

[poeticlicensed]

Chrystal is now playing us with that fast food order

[Hellga]

That ginormous fast food order is why she only lost a couple pounds in her first month!

[OoogleEyes]

I recognize those white bricks 

[TazDevil]

The folding table made the trip to Houston!

Did all of her shit stay loaded on that U-haul while they were living in the hotel?

[AnnaBanana]

Those poor girls.  I feel so badly for them.

[Arynm]

She has gained weight. Mark my words

I used to hate how thick my hair was as a child and teen, but I am grateful for it now in my late 60's even though I still have trouble getting it into most barrettes --even the ones that claim they are for thick hair.  and fortunately it hasn't greyed very much so far.

It is my neck and the blue veins showing on my hands that bother me.

[ShoePrincess]

I'm thankful this show -- and especially this episode -- isn't presented in Smellovision. I don't think my olfactory senses could handle that.

Did you have to go to the hospital? 

And miss the rest of the shitshow?! I will lose my finger before I do that!

[Guest]

"It's been a little crazy" = MASSIVE WEIGHT GAIN.

[AnnaBanana]

She gained.  I'm sure of it.

[Hellga]

She keeps mentioning 'exercises' - does she really think her doing a couple sitting exercises is going to outdoor a meal sufficient to feed a middle-school hockey team?

[Auntie Anxiety]

I don’t see any weight loss, do you? 

[Drogo]

How much shit do you think the receptionists talk as they see non-losers approaching?

[Lillith]

Oh she's gained. 

 

[Pepper Mostly]

"I'm going to work even harder". Your performance at the McDonald's drive through tells the real truth. 

[poeticlicensed]

So she sits on her ass while everyone works. Nice

[Suzywriter]

Time to unpack the roaches...they must be exhausted from living in those boxes.

[Concerned]

Does she have an oxygen bottle AND an oxygen concentrator?

[charmed1]

At least the thing has wheels now so the little girl doesn’t have to keep carrying it. Chrystal looks like she gained weight.

[MsVixen]

Chrystal, have you forgotten that you also have to be off the oxygen cannister before you can have the surgery?

She's bed jogging, like Lupe.

You're lucky.  I used to have incredibly thick hair...now I use rubber bands made for little girls, I've lost that much hair.  Depressing.

[dreadfulLeigh]

When she was saying “blah blah blah and focus” I was only half paying attention so I thought she was going to say fuck instead of focus.

 

Which made me think of my daughter, who has a speech delay. This week during her zoom therapy, her speech therapist was trying to get her to say “duck”. It came out as “fuck fuck fuck”. 😂 

[7EasyPayments]

Is 90 more than 60?

Asking for a friend.

[Auntie Anxiety]

She begged Dr. Now for an extra month so she could lose 100 pounds in a month, since she hadn’t lost it already.

[Hellga]

Entrance arch reminds me of a dungeon.  Just bar it with an old-fashioned metal-reinforced gate and don't let her have any food except what can fit through an old-fashioned key hole (the legend of why Nuremberg bratwurst are so small compared to most sausages 🙂  a prisoner's wife used to make them so they would fit through a key hole)
