Season 12: Live Chat

[Eldemarge]

@Auntie Anxiety was CLOSE!  Hats off, Madam.

[Chicklet]

Well she slipped and fell on some calories. 

She can continue the diet on her own, I guess.

[Elizzikra]

Anyone else think the hanging vines around the caregiver photos is kind of creepy?

[lemoncake]

8 pounds and she's headed in the right direction 

[Hellga]

Another 9 pounds.  Yeah.  At least 'it's an improvement', heh.  She is really not doing anything except lying to herself.  

[Auntie Anxiety]

Dr. Now tells her she’s out of chances. Have a good life, Shakiya.

Right? SAME. The bus I used to take to work goes right past my house, and whenever I see it go by I say "So long, suckers!" I cannot fathom that I hauled my raggedy ass out of bed every day at five AM and dragged myself into Cambridge and WORKED all day. Then hauled my aforementioned raggedy ass onto another set of mobile torture chambers that are called public transportation around here, to come home again, when I jammed some food down my gullet and collapsed into bed, exhausted. AND had to do all my housework, shopping, laundry, cooking, self care, social activity, EVERYTHING, all in two short days! Crazy. 

Ha-that's my routine RN!

[Hellga]

I think I know why her Mom has thrown her out.  26 years of listening to endless excuses and not seeing any effort can cause a strong reaction.

Grapes! The Devil's Fruit! She's doomed. 

I'm sipping on grape Pedialyte. I hope I don't gain ten pounds.

Mine is similar, except I don't have a dog, and I sometimes head out to the porch to smoke and watch the world go by. Maybe chat with my mail carrier. 

I have 'informed delivery' from the post office. I can check online to see if I have mail or a package. Don't even have to get dressed, much less talk to anyone. And if it's not worth it, I don't have to go get it - in 10 degree weather w/6" of snow, down a hill (truth).

I remember those days with real horror.

"I wish you luck and I hope you wake up"...ouch, Doc.

[Auntie Anxiety]

So no walk in the park this week?

[Pi237]

Does she go to therapy? Magic 8 ball says “Not likely”

And scheduled dr and dentist apps for me and the kids at the beginning or end of the day. Not to mention doing the PTA mom thing. Im lucky I made it through . I laugh when my kids complain about their full time jobs.

Minus the years she was living with dad and then in foster care...

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh here we go. "I'll show you, Dr. Now!" Honey. What are you waiting for? Don't do it for him! He doesn't give a shit! Do it for yourself!

[Snarkastikate]

I'm really sad about this.  For some unknown  reason she's got zero support.  Totally unknown medical status, her story is suspicious to say the least.  We'll likely never know what happened to her and that's that.  

[Hellga]

So sister and/or friend aren't around to even give her rides anywhere, either...looks like she's using Uber or cabs.

Yeah... you can have a fight with one person and that be their fault, but when EVERYONE in your life bails out on you, it's probably a YOU issue.  

 

PS  Didn't she get caught stealing as a kid?  Wonder if she started again and that's why everyone is done with her...

Well said. I'm sad too.

[OoogleEyes]

Nighty night pals! Have a great week full of healthy eating habits!

[ams1001]

"Working to save up money" to move to Houston. Working at what?

[aliya]

I feel sorry for her. She needs someone to help her manage her food, she's obviously eating more than what's on de diet. She strikes me differently than some who won't try, but maybe I'm being taken in by a sob story.

Please don't just show up in Houston, sweetie. Not a good plan, given your track record.

Bye, folks. On to the tumors.

[lemoncake]

This is bull crap. If she just cut out one grease laden meal a day she could lose 100 pounds easy

[Pi237]

She seems so dead in the eyes, defeated, but saying what she thinks she’s supposed to say. Hope she gets that therapy. 

[Chicklet]

Now I'm sad, but hope she can figure life out.  Have a good night everyone!

 

[Eldemarge]

In order to "not give up," you have to be DOING SOMETHING first.

12 pounds in a year

That's my all-time best!

[mmecorday]

Well, this hour wasn't a total waste. I am going to try @Pepper Mostly's delicious sounding tuna and chickpea salad and I learned that it's OK to have a do-nothing day (I will let my girlfriend know about this). Have a great week and I will see you all back here next week. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

She’s going to do it, y’all, and she can only count on herself. Is anyone convinced?

[CrazyInAlabama]

Year 1, and 1 month, another local clinic weigh in.  

Weight- 635 lbs., so she lost 8 lbs this time.   Dr. Now is telling the truth, but she won't believe it.      She doesn't want to cooperate on therapy, and I think Dr. Now knows that.  

I'm so sad for her.   I thought she was determined, but she doesn't want therapy, or really lose weight.  20 lbs. down in over a year isn't a real attempt.    

Dr. Now looks so sad.   

1 year and 4 months-still at the extended stay. She says she's working hard, and still planning to move to Houston.   She's not doing therapy either.     She could have changed and improved so much at her young age.   I'm so sad for her.

I'm not much of a joiner, so no PTA for me! And only one kid. Who works in the restaurant industry and loves his work. (He's a chef). And lucky for him, he has a very generous uncle, my brother, who just paid off his student loan debt. 

Jesus, she can't even take a stagger through some sad shitty park. What a letdown. 

There it is. "Get the help I need". Girl, you were GETTING the help you needed! You chose not to avail yourself of it! Sweet Jesus my blood pressure. 

[Hellga]

Something tells me she will never progress past the self-comforting talk stage.  Unfortunately.  

Good night, everyone!  This was a doozy, but we are each other's support system to work hard and get through it!   See you next week! 

[xls]

I like this new show-no forum for it yet!

[Elizzikra]

Good night all. I was hoping for a happier outcome but it was nice chatting with y'all.

[babyhouseman]

Good night. Have to turn off the tumor show.

[LizzyB]

Good night, all!  I agree with @mmecorday--not a wasted night!  I've got homemade chocolate sauce in my future, and I am seriously dreaming of retirement (about 16 more years 😭😭😭😭😭)  See y'all next week.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Quickly changing the channel because those HUGE TUMORS!!!!!

Have a great rest of the week, everyone. Stick with you eating habits!

[Suzywriter]

Time for Titilating Tumor Dr.

[Snarkastikate]

Her final words were how she was going to get that surgery some day & "won't that be glorious".  😞

Don't you understand, advice is not help.  Help is magic surgery after which the patient wakes up slim and trim and able to eat whatever she wants, whenever she wants.   

[Pepper Mostly]

Well, goodnight Pounder pals! Have a great week and watch your eating habit! I love you all, MWAH!

[ams1001]

Good night, everyone!

She did mention a job a few times, but I don't know what.  Maybe they'll show something interesting in the bonus scenes in tomorrow's Supersized edition?  

[Red Bridey]

Another depressing delusional subject. Have a wonderful week, my lovies, and I'll see you in the forums!

Its really nice, I hope you enjoy it! Hit it with a squeeze of lemon and some olive oil, throw in some fresh mint or parsley. It makes a nice sandwich too!

Geeeeze didnt even get to see the rest of her story! that was so unfair!!!!!

[nokat]

Top Chef is at the same time as this show.  I watched that while reading here.

[Pi237]

Obsessed with the tumor show.  These surgeries astound me.
