While I was doing that, the sister missionaries called to check in. I had to let it ring. It's hard to say, "I can't chat because my show is on." 

It gets easier. Trust me on this.

I wear flip flops until there's snow on the ground. 

I wear them even if it's snowing 😀!

[MsVixen]

Why is Jake Gooberballs doing a commercial?  Johnny Depp too busy?

[Chicklet]

Was that celery? I thought it was string cheese?

To think I took a nap for this, I'm so pathetic I fall asleep before the show is ever done. I want to smack Ryan.

March in place in your living room or something. Jeez.

Ok, I'm embarrassed to post this, but that's a great idea!! Like, I am trying it right now. It feels revolutionary! I'm really, really, really not kidding. This is great!

Scale, sorry to tell you this, but your now on an action plan.

I wonder if he fell in the snow who would pick him up?

The Abdominal Snowman. He would adopt him as his own.

It's been a long time since we've had to call the fire department to carry these people out of the house.  I miss those days.

It would be about as close as he'll ever get to being a fireman.

So another night in a Residence  Inn with no TLC-- I am having withdrawal pains.

eating habit was the ravioli they had for the 5-7 snack period, 2 glasses of wine and a fistful of cookies.  Our furniture arrives tomorrow so I hope to be in my bed tomorrow night.  I have really gotten spoiled with the breakfast spread here.  I have borrowed a tray from the kitchen to bring Mr Twopper his breakfast.  I bought us a new mattress that has a base allowing us to raise the head or feet so that should be helpful for him.  and the new washer/dryer won't arrive until the week after Christmas

Well, I worked in a call center 

When he first moved here, my son went to interview at Geico's call center. He took one look around and told reception that he cancelled the interview and left. He said that just looking at the set up made him depressed. 

Thankfully, he went back to school, got a master's, is ABD, and has a very good job. Sometimes you need to be scared straight.

[poeticlicensed]

Guys I need something TLC to binge while I'm on the autotrain for 18 hours. I gave up on 90DF and Sister wives a couple of seasons ago. Which do you think I should catch up on.?  I could go full trash and try Love after Lock up. Decisions decisions

Don’t be embarrassed, I do it when I watch TV. 

[Hellga]

Of course he is making plans to move to Houston because he is sure Dr. Now will approve him in a few months.  Because he iss working so hard, despite admitting he is not perfect.

Sometimes I do solo dance parties in my bedroom if I'm feeling too slothy and I think it really works to get my heartbeat up!

No cold shoulder tops, mom. Just no!

Well, I worked in a call center for a cell phone company (now long defunct, VoiceStream Wireless if any of you had them in 2001).  Inbound calls for everything from sales to billing to minor tech support.  I can't tell you how much general assholery and abuse I got to hear.  When I switched to retail, for a good year and a half I thought everyone was awfully nice - and everyone who has ever worked retail knows that customers suck.  So a call center is no cakewalk.  Out of my training class of 20 people, only 2 stayed after 3 months (they gave everyone who lasted 3 months $450 bonus, so I quit after 3 months and 2 weeks, as soon as I got the bonus check).  And that's despite them offering full medical and dental benefits, uncommon for low-wage no educational requirements job (and they paid $3/hour more than my retail job!).  

Yeah, I probably should have included a disclaimer. I can’t imagine the abuse call center workers must take.  What I thought he was complaining about was demands from management, and no, I don’t have any experience with that, but I do know the demands on us last year were absolutely impossible. Teach your in-person kids! Conference with your virtual kids! Make them wear masks! We (administration) can’t force them to wear masks! We want rigor in the classroom! Relax your standards and show compassion! It was like Hell’s Rollercoaster. Still, no disrespect intended to you.

Poor cat. 

My cat most certainly wasn't happy with me when I dressed him up as Santa and took this, but that cat definitely has it worse though! 

[ams1001]

She just cut the fat off the chicken (with scissors) and dropped it into the pan.

They don't even look like kitchen shears, just regular office scissors.

No, no cheat days!

 

[Hellga]

The Mom has quite a few bottles of spices... does she use them?  

Sunday is his cheat day because it helps with craving because he was afraid of drastic changes.  Yeah right.  Listen to you mother, you dumbass! 

[TazDevil]

At 800 pounds you don't get to have any "cheat" days.  You've been cheating every day up til now.

[ams1001]

There's a cat, too!

[String Theory]

Mom is cracking the whip!  Good for her!

Oh, it's too cold for him to go out????? 

Cheat Day....this dude has all the excuses, he's going nowhere.....

[Chicklet]

He plans cheat days, oh my god this is painful.

And he's ok with cutting back a bit more, except the cheat days.

Ohh a table.

[Yokosmom]

Well, at least mom isn’t an enabler. God this guy is annoying. And he hasn’t told dear old mom that Dr. Now’s offer was conditional. 

[LEILANI2]

When you're 800 lbs and focus on the cheat day, means you aint following DR NOWs program.

[Pepper Mostly]

CHEAT DAYS??? Dude. 

What she is doing to that chicken is a crime. 

He's ordering the "healthy options" at the fast food places? Oh for fucks sake. 

[DropTheSoap]

Dude's had a cheat life. He's got years of cheat days that he needs to overcome. He really doesn't need any more cheat days.

[aliya]

The storm is about 20 minutes from me now. We have a tornado watch.

Why do these people need a cheat day? Their whole lives are cheat days.

My peeps know better than to call me during my three weekly shows!  They all learned the hard way!

[hookedontv]

Mom uses the scissors a lot. I know there are kitchen scissors but she uses the kind that are for arts and crafts. 
 

Dr. Now will be thrilled to hear about his chest days. 

[GrammyPammy]

They bought a card table.

[ams1001]

Please stop showing his crusty feet. I just ate.

He doesn't look like he's lost anything.

[umgoblue]

He researched and found that he should have a CHEAT DAY????

I don't think I can take much more of Ryan.  I despise him.

Forget shooting me, just stab me in the eye.

Yikes!

[TazDevil]

EEEEEEEEE

He'll be as truthful about that as he was about his eating habit.
