And Super Hot Guy loves animals or volunteers at a soup kitchen and teaches High Powered City Girl the True Meaning of Christmas. Sigh. 

And being a busy career woman is demonized in favour of a simple life in a small town.

She told him she was divorcing him in front of their kids?!

And she took the house, car, and left him like a sad country song.  I wonder if he discussed more divorce issues in therapy off camera. Did he think it was all her fault? It takes two to tango even though the thought of him tangoing.

She probably had told him a thousand other times, plus told the kids, the court, her lawyer, all of their friends and families. The moving truck was likely outside ready to transport tubby hubby and his Playstation to his parent's basement when she told him for the last time.

I suspect that Big Mike doesn't listen.

And he has a 6-pack for no reason.  OH and his bachelor pad is decorated perfectly for the holidays, even though he lives alone.

The State Farm ad..."he called me back and remembered my name!" Um, he had your file up on his screen. Your name was right in front of him.

You mean the ones where the single city girl comes back to save her hometown from some baddie and at least one super  hot guy lives (usually a cop). And there's a christmas festival that everyone in town attends and it snows but the snow never gets dirty or yellow? A lot to hate there 

Years ago I downloaded the Hallmark Channel app, then promptly forgot about it. This year, I somehow accidentally downloaded every fucking movie into my iCal and now am being stalked by the Hallmark Channel.

Yeah, wouldn’t doubt she spent years begging him to change, to care, to do something. Sudden to him, perhaps, if he didn’t give a shit to try or listen. 

He even admitted that she begged him to do something about his weight, that's why he went to rehab that time. If you're watching, Mrs. Mike, we're on your side! We don't buy Mike's sob story!

[Boston]

God, if I only had a Dr. Paradise when i was going thru therapy.  How tall is Mike???.. Thinking chicken, gravy, mashed potatoes tomorrow.. I will try somehow to make the chicken taste like turkey.  Actually, I'm no really caring.  Could be grilled cheese.

Yup. A lot of men say they are surprised by a divorce, when the wife has been sending signals for years.

The end of this episode can't come too soon for me....

I'd be so suspect he's closeted and looking for a beard 

[Suzywriter]

Date Big Mike, pee girl.

 Everyone knows that busy career women are just cold, castrating bitches who need a Real Man, the kind who can only be found in small towns. EVERYONE knows that. 

[Hellga]

He is down 200 pounds... parents help him with food, exercise... c'mon, you are a nearly-forty year old father of four, grow up and own up your life. 

[Eldemarge]

!!! CHOCOLATE MILK !!!

[umgoblue]

If dad is eating what you eat, then he is having 10 servings. 

He hasn't lost anything over this time.

Mom and Dad could both stand to lose some weight, so good if they're eating the same stuff as Mike.

I live in a state full of small towns. The men are all stoners with beards and one tooth.

I WAS a busy career woman and probably a freezing cold, castrating bitch (Proud of it!) and I live in a small town.  No real men here!  😍😍😍

“I’m still planning to have my kids in my life more.”

 

What a strange way to talk about that.

[Hellga]

Hey, at least he started working!  That's a definite step in the right direction.  Maybe there is hope for him after all.

I beg to differ - and i know you're kidding.

[Eldemarge]

Did you hear that, Mike's Ex?  He's got a job now so go get that child support!  

[Pepper Mostly]

"Fighting to have my kids in my life more"=whinging in his lawyer's office. 

OH DEAR SWEET LITTLE BABBY JEEBUS, HE HAS A JOB!

[Chicklet]

We won't see what he loses will we? Oh I am sure the kids are happy with some child support.

[Poudre]

I saw chocolate milk, mayonnaise, and cheese in his cart!

[OoogleEyes]

That has to be the most depressing bedroom that I've seen on this show show. And we've seen a lot. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Well…not too bad 

[aliya]

I'm so going to hell - but isn't he everyone's idea of what they guys look like down in IT?

I hope he can keep the weight off still hanging out in the basement like that. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

His calf still looks…sharp.

Good evening, Pounders!  My frozen pizza that I will eat in bed like a sloth is almost ready!   

But I think I'll leave it until after the naked/shower/potty scene.

I did the frozen pizza for dinner. It was so good.

[CrazyInAlabama]

So, he's now working from Mom's basement.     Get my gasoline soaked drawers ready, because I wouldn't like Mike if he weight 150 lbs., and became a billionaire.    

Month 1 745

Month 10-545

Month 12-510 (so he's not loosing fast again, why do I suspect a lot of mayo and cheating?)

Dr. Now should forget Mike coming back to Houston long term, because he simply won't.   I suspect no matter what Mike weighs, Dr. Now won't be hacking off loose skin off of him.

I was eyeing that chocolate milk as well.

[Hellga]

Another 35 pounds lost.  At least he is staying on track.  Dr. Paradise saved his hide!

[ams1001]

He's workin' hard! Ain't nothin' gonna break his stride!

A positive thing about pandemic job hunting is that weight bias is minimized when interviewing over Zoom.  I have a colleague who is severely overweight/obese, couldn't land a job prior to covid, but had been offered 2 jobs with virtual interviewing.

Precisely the reason I made Mr Poetic move out if his hometown when we got married. I  didn't want to end up married to that. He would have stayed and hung out with his high school buddies for the rest of his life so it  was a deal breaker for me. 40 years later best decision we made 

 

[Twopper]

gee, do these people not realize you can now buy scales that go up to 600 pounds or more for under $150.  I would take the money I saved from buying fast food and purchase one asap.  It would keep me from having unpleasant surprises at Dr Now's office.

Good night.  Til next time, if there is a next time.

I think I will try to watch the Too Large show which follows.  Dr Proctor is rather attractive.

It looked like too much milk, 3 gallons.  I don't think an adult would need that much.  Drink water.

IT guys are thin with acne, an ill fitting shirt and protruding Adams Apples. 
I'll pick up the flaming drawers on the way out. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Well, that was boring. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Nice to see him smile. And he has a nice speaking voice. He could probably be a pleasant looking fellow if he made an effort.
