Mr Lemon is a brave, brave man. My husband just rolled his eyes and went to bed early.

My grown adult "child" is home at my place, recovering from surgery (she's fine), and she is essentially my unmoving prisoner in front of the TV!  She hasn't looked at the screen yet.

[Hellga]

'My metabolism will kick in' - heh, not if you are eating giant plates of food like that.  That actually looked good, but this was enough for four people. 

[LizzyB]

OOOO a "dating app for larger people" 🤔

[lemoncake]

Mr Lemon is currently searching for the larger people dating app

[ams1001]

Ack! I'm late! I was fixing my eating habit...a salad with romaine, spinach, yellow carrot, radish, red onion, red cabbage, cheddar cheese, croutons, and Ken's honey French dressing.

I spy two little dogies.

Paralysis, certainly not gonna help.

Uhoh, small dogs noted. Paper plates? I can't tell.

No, I think they are real plates for a change.

But he got whiplash!

[MsVixen]

BTW, my eating habits are a Ham and Cheese sandwich and vegetables.  Let's hope this is filling!

[OoogleEyes]

This is not good sishuashion 

[mmecorday]

Hello, all! My eating habit today was homemade chicken and gnocchi soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. 

[Hellga]

So, basically, he recovered from the spinal cord injury and would be walking if he wasn't so obese.  He probably only recovered his arm function so he could use them to shovel food in his mouth, but saw no reason to work on his leg strength.  He just got himself a wife who would bring the food right to the bed.

So she's your hostage. Cool!

Okay, the wedding photo was adorable.

[judylo]

His father was a huge influence …

[Auntie Anxiety]

My eating habit tonight was a small piece of blackened salmon, mashed potatoes (so kill me) and yams. Then three teeny tiny Reese’s cups.

[Elizzikra]

Oh man. Hit by a car on his way to propose. That sucks.

[lemoncake]

Mr Lemon reports there are many dating apps for the larger set. His favorite is Chubby Bunny

[ams1001]

Hey, he has a job!

That sheet is doing a lotta work in the front shots.

[Chicklet]

Uhoh solo grocery shopping.

[babyhouseman]

He works.

[OoogleEyes]

QUIT CALLING ME, ABI

[judylo]

He has a job!

My dads searching too!

[Hellga]

On the upside, he works.  Maybe he will be able to get his act together with some professional help.

[Auntie Anxiety]

So exercise will be out of the question? 

[Pi237]

So, he can use his legs, hes not paralyzed anymore? You'd think that would be the ultimate motivation to get out of that bed.

I'm dying

[lemoncake]

Oh Dr Now is gonna have a field day with the shopping via face time

[ams1001]

It's a lot cheaper to not buy three kinds of cookies...

[Chicklet]

Ok is he going to call 911 to get him into a wheelchair to get to see Dr. Now? I don't see this going well.

[CSunshine76]

I’m late…is his bottom half always just NAKED?! 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Tate’s Chocolate Chip cookies are not cheap. Sometimes they are in Costco but you have to by the industrial size box.

[Hellga]

On the downside, he is controlling her grocery shopping remotely.

And chocolate and macadamia cookie is just about the worst kind.

Who is he kidding saying that the reason he goes for food bad for him is that it costs less?  COOKIES cheaper than carrots?   Not to mention cookies are unnecessary entirely, they are an add-on, not a replacement.  And salsa con queso certainly doesn't cost less than plain can of crushed tomatoes.  

[MsVixen]

How much damn Mayonnaise did she put on the bread?!!!!

[ams1001]

He said "a sandwich and chips" and apparently that means five sandwiches and a mixing bowl full of chips with a smaller mixing bowl full of cheese dip.

[Auntie Anxiety]

That’s enough food to feed the entire MormonTabernacle Choir!

[aliya]

So you're too tired to cook, fine. get a meal delivery service.  It's post-pandemic; you can get whatever the heck kinda diet plan you want, right to your door. Jeez.

[lemoncake]

Chips, a quart of queso and 4 sammies

[babyhouseman]

When she asked Wanna go pee pee, I thought she asking Abi.

My daughter's getting a real education here

If they get food assistance, though, you can't use it on that.

What does Abi do for work? I missed that.

[Chicklet]

The wife- is that a tattoo or a birthmark on her neck? It looks like lips.

[lemoncake]

Bedsores are so painful. He hates living like this but loves lunch. The eternal problem

[Pi237]

Omg his back!!!!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Abi. 

Age 37. from Austin TX.  Brenda is his enabler. Actually his breakfast is smaller than some poundticipants. 

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, overate even as a little kid.    Not overweight until 14. Really ballooned in post high school training. Lost weight through ballet, and working out.   Other driver hit his car, and he had spinal injuries.  He eventually could move his legs.  Brenda and Abi married after the accident. After Hurricane Maria, he was able to move to Austin.  Brenda works outside the home, and Abi works from home. He wants to lose enough weight to get a further spinal surgery, and he can start rehab and possibly walk again.  He's only left the apartment once since moving to Austin.   His sister Miriam lives in Austin, and helps Brenda take care of his huge bed sores.

I hope this is a success story, but I'm so afraid for him.

Just now, Elizzikra said:

Telemarketing, something about cars.

[Hellga]

It hurts for YOU?  What about your wife and sister, you think their backs aren't screaming louder than you from moving your hundreds of inert pounds???
