S10.E02: Julian's Story LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

For Julian and his wife, Irma, it was love at first sight. But in order to grow old together, Julian will have to overcome the food addiction that made him more than 800 pounds, and Irma will have to hold on no matter how difficult the journey may become.

This is the live chat thread.  It will be open during the first US East Coast showing.

Why not brush up on the forum rules in the Master Mod Note prior to posting.  It will be good for you.  It's non-fattening and Dr. Now approved. 

[Eldemarge]

I'm here! So excited I made the live chat.  My eating habit tonight is microwaved chicken korma with rice.  

[babyhouseman]

Hello, everyone. I just had a chocolate chip cookie. No good.

[OoogleEyes]

Hi ya Pounders!

Just finishing Pauline, the Queen of Denial. There really were a lot of unlikable characters in that season. 

Eating habit tonight was yogurt with blueberries and granola. Debating on an after dinner cocktail. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Hi peeps! I've read the mod note (thanks for the reminder, @PrincessPurrsALot. Appreciate you!), and I'm pre-gaming with Pauline. 

Is everyone having a good week? Glad to be back to our Wednesday night slugfest!

Eating habit? Some cheese and crackers and Pinot Noir with a friend.

Howdy! Just catching the end of Pauline's first episode. That was a fun roll down memory lane (it's only five days after surgery, I can't possibly be expected to try to get out of bed yet).

Tonight's eating habit was mashed potatoes and creamed corn with lots of butter. I'm sure Dr. Now would have something to say about that. That's after I worked (from home) late because I had a doctor's appointment so I had to take a long lunch.

Now I am settled in with a milkshake...vanilla ice cream and homemade dark chocolate syrup (made with Hershey's Special Dark cocoa). I have a slight sore throat so it's medicinal. Yeah, we'll go with that.

Just finished a great workout, 1878 calories consumed today.

Dr. N doesn't have to know how many of those calories were vodka. LOLOLOLOL

Cheers people!

Howdy pounders.  I see they're just finishing up a Pauline episode. My snacks for the show are Fireball w/ cranberry gingerale (sugar zero) and caramel puffcorn.

I had cereal and yogurt and blueberries for dinner because I am flat out tired and very lazy after my 5 mile run. Uhm mostly walk but hey.

This is me coming out of the wilderness where all y’all have been partying for a week!!  Why do I never know when the season starts…and why don't y’all come and get me?!?!

It’s great to be back.  I have missed you!

[babyhouseman]

I don't remember seeing someone who was a good cook. Just a good eater.

No, she just came over because I made some soup and bread for her and her husband (who's getting cancer treatment) to give her a break from cooking all the time. 

Julian the chef. Where do they live? In a storage unit?

Hello my people!  I missed you guys so much!

The grand baby will be 1 in a couple of days and just started walking. Life is good.

I just finished homemade Thai curry beef tips w/onions & peppers over cauliflower rice.

This guy is starting out really honest and doesn't have that "dead inside" cadence to his voice.  I have high hopes for him.

[mmecorday]

He sounds just like Brandon. Remember him?

OMG he was an adorable baby.

[OoogleEyes]

Julian was adorable!

If you have to turn sideways to get through the door...... 🙂

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh god, here it comes, bad stepdad. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Julian, 33 years old, Tucson, AZ.    Wife Irma.  They live with his mom, Royletta, and grandmother.   I love the matching high pony tails/buns on Julian and Irma. 

He looks tall, so I bet he's close to 800 lbs.  

I want pancakes now, and I mean right now.   He seems very noble for someone on this show.   I guess it's his age?   

Mean stepdad. But mother making excuses for the stepdad infuriates me.   170 by age 10.   540 by the end of high school.    So, Mom chose abusive stepdad, over her own son.   So he's an electrician, if he can get down in weight, he'll do very well. 

580 by 23.   790 by the time he married Irma.

I'm really hoping this will be a success story.

Julian has lady boobs

[Pepper Mostly]

400 POUNDS IN HIGH SCHOOL, SWEET JESUS.

[Chicklet]

His mother kicked him out for his own good? Yea that tracks. Good grief.

[Eldemarge]

No man is worth keeping around if he has no problem beating your kid with a bat.

[ams1001]

She feared for his safety from her husband so she kicked him out instead of the husband? Did I hear that right? Way to go, mom.

Yeah, I originally wrote "stroll" but then I remembered there was no strolling in that episode.

 

[Kid]

That is quite the mother, isn’t it????  How do you choose a man over your son.

Microwaving old sherbet containers is the new craze on TikTok.
