S10.E08: James B's Journey LIVE CHAT

[Hellga]

450 at 14?  Is this the biggest we've had?  How tall is this guy?

[charmed1]

A 300 lb 8 year old?!

[Kid]

300 lbs at 8!!   That is child abuse.

Happy Holidays, Pounders!

Good scam in high school -- chatting up the lunch ladies for an all-day buffet.

[Eldemarge]

It kills me when they say stuff like "I was 450 lbs by the time I was 14."  Like who was taking care of this child??  Nobody?  Holy hell.

[umgoblue]

He is moisturizing.  For as large as he is, he takes care of his skin and at least makes an attempt at proper hygiene.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Aha! An aspiring rapper. Of course.

Hello! We had our Christmas party at work today and I ate a lot of food Dr. Now would not approve of. There were lots of yummy desserts so I had a small piece of chocolate pie, a small piece of chocolate cake and a brownie. My broccoli casserole was a big hit.

Sounds fab! I love retirement but do I ever miss the holiday parties we had at work. The MechE department had a big party, and we admins had a little brunch just for ourselves with a Yankee Swap, and the Dean of Engineering had a huge, fabulous brunch for the whole Engineering school. Good. Times.

Biggie Biggs.

To be fair, food temptations are EVERYWHERE in New York City, and one can eat good for not a lot of money...  

[Splashes]

What is a florida lifestyle? I live here and I dont think there is a florida lifestyle for people who arent retired.

Guess we won't be meeting Punkin since she was blurred in all the pictures.

[ams1001]

A table!

[String Theory]

He seems like a nice, clean guy who's addicted to food.  Rarely see someone who cares about hygiene & doesn't wish to make his SO his caretaker.

[DropTheSoap]

A discussion of overeating from birth, primarily.

[ams1001]

You have to have red velvet cake daily?

[Pepper Mostly]

He has a nice smile. 

 

[sainte-chapelle]

Red velvet cake? Yes please

Boy, what high standards do we have for our poundticipants.  Bathes, puts on real clothes - he is golden! 

Does he really eat an entire cake every day???   I would have died.

Believe me, if a kid wants to eat, there isn't much you can do unless you lock them in a cage.  School, friend's houses, corner store...they find it.

[charmed1]

That wasn’t a “piece,” it was 1/3 of the whole damned cake!

[mmecorday]

🎶Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see? The way you eat food just hypnotizes me.🎶

Now I want cake, dammit. I only have gingerbread cookies which I slaved over yesterday. Tasty but no cake.

[TazDevil]

I love a red velvet cake too, but every day??  And you know there's a fresh cake every day.

[DropTheSoap]

The woman who's bringing him a cake on the daily can't then ask, "when is it enough?"

I'm going with 722.

I'm not really a cake person, but that cake looked bomb.

[sainte-chapelle]

I was supposed to visit the in laws up North but we are going to cancel. Will this ever end?

He's from a very food focused culture. By the time he was 14 he was 450 pounds.

That's weird. 

[String Theory]

He just ate a whole red velvet cake?!!!!  He needs snacks to keep him "motivated" for what exactly??????

[ams1001]

His brother grocery shops for him a few times a week. All junk.

I doubt if he takes advantage of the plentiful fish and seafood one can have.

[Hellga]

The rest of his family are surprisingly normal size. 

[Kid]

Don’t you love it how they all have STAFF!!

[charmed1]

If only I could do this with my Instacart shoppers. Maybe I wouldn’t keep getting the crappiest produce.

[mmecorday]

OMG, his grocery shopping pal looks like Usman! Am I right, 90-Day lovelies?

[umgoblue]

Is he really FaceTiming the grocery shopping scene?!?!  Well, I neva...

WTF

[DropTheSoap]

I haven't decided if I'm having dinner or not. 

James is making me think "not" is the right answer.

Exactly!! Did no one intervene??? 😳😳😳😳😳

[dreadfulLeigh]

The cake-enabler lady doesn’t have a single moments hesitation to NOT get him a whole damn cake???
