S03.E02: The Lord of the Wings

"Vannessa's decades-long friendship with Meghan and Ashely is on the verge of collapse; Scott, a new face at Dr. Procter's office, gets a wake-up call after stepping on the scale."

 

Scott's only 32!   I thought he was at least 10 years older than that.  Heart failure, needed cardio inversion (or however you spell it), CPAP/apnea, and who knows how many other diseases or conditions.   70 to 80 wings at all you can eat wings night is awful.   Vannessa will be a good friend to him.  

596 lbs!  That scares me for him.  His mother is right about what will happen to him if he doesn't change.    Vannessa is so kind to help him.

Scott seems to really be hard wired for overeating.  I think for some people it’s really very engrained.  I would suspect intensive therapy would be required.  I have a nephew who is very similar. He’s not quite that large and a couple of years younger.  He yo yo diets, but never really changes his lifestyle and regains it quickly.  Gorging and lounging are his primary activities.  It’s heartbreaking.  
 

I can barely believe that Meghan keeps up the story that she mainly follows the diet plan, but doesn’t lose weight.  She must realize the doctor knows it’s not true.  I wonder if she would even be interested in losing any more weight if not for the show. 
 

Why does Ashley seem so scared to lose the proper amount of weight?  She doesn’t seem to realize how much overweight she still is.  Her face looks the same to me.  She nor Meghan seem interested in a new lifestyle. As long as they consider healthy eating something to be endured, they’ll never embrace a healthy lifestyle.  
 

I can really envision Vanessa with her excess  skin gone.  The courage to exercise with all that excess skin is amazing.  Hope her son takes advantage of the program.

We Better see Vanessa get skin surgery this season!  She has worked so hard, and deserves her yellow brick road.

I like the blond on Megan. Does she have glam for the show? Her makeup always looks fantastic.  More Surgery won't help her long term.  She'll still have her compulsion to eat too much.  Are any of them in therapy?  

I felt bad for Scott when his Mom said how he eats is embarrassing. You can see that stung. I guarantee all he heard was, 'you're embarrassing.' And that will never go away. Hope he can use it for motivation, but hearing that from someone you expect to love you unconditionally is painful, regardless if its tough love or not.  The afib and sleep apnea happens to thjn people, too. But obviously at his size, his heart is already overworked. Very scary, especially at such a young age.

Tina is pretty. Love her 80s hair. Between that, the hot flashes, and the tacos, I can relate to her lol. I never eat in bed tho. Always makes me think of bugs.  

Jacob to be that big at such a young age is shocking. Is he depressed? Therapy would do him good, too.

This whole Vanessa, Megan and Ashley fight was a waste of time.

Ending the episode Before we see Tina's weight was a cheap move. Hate that crap.

This.  I felt so bad for him.  I hope his mom apologizes to him when she sees the episode.  There was no need to say that.

It was relatable for me to see Tina being so nervous as she expected the guests, and, conversely, to see some of the guests be nervous to visit her house.  I've been there, done that, on both sides.

Yes, I'm ready to see Vanessa's skin surgery, too, but I can just see them pushing it to the next season and using it as a cliffhanger at the end of this season.

Meghan is such a chickenshit. She is always looking for the easy way out. She doesn't need a revision, she needs to follow her diet. She wants the magic bullet fix that Dr. Now always talks about. She's lazy. Maybe if she got a job, she would do better. Getting dressed up, putting on makeup and playing with her cats isn't enough to fill her day. Vannessa is loud and abrasive, but I'd rather hang with her than the mean girls.
