I just got here and totally missed most of this.  I won't ask what I missed! My boyfriend texted me and asked me if I was on the couch for "Fat Chat" and I realized I had forgotten!

I wish I had a snark buddy. My wife is in the other room watching Chicago Fire and Med during our Wednesday parties.

686.  She gained back to pretty much where she was after her fist effort.  Not surprised.  This woman literally cannot understand what a normal portion size is and what she should be eating.  She read the book but completely disregards it.

She's 27. And she acts like a baby too.

Love when the pounders “tap dance” when Dr. Now calls them on the carpet.

How much food do you need to eat to gain 17 pounds? Lots i guess.

And it was over what? A couple of months? That shows true dedication. 

[HorrrGoodnight]

She done pissed him off now.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Jacky, you eat constantly. Just fess up. The truth will set you free.

Yeah, she seems sweet and I feel bad for her.

She needs serious therapy. I feel like her family never really went the tough love route. She seems to expect Dr. Now to tell her it is all fine and pat her on the head.

[lemoncake]

Shes in such denial 

[Suzywriter]

I thought she didn't drive. Who is the burger fetcher?

[ams1001]

She should have seen a therapist months (well, years) ago. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Jacky, Dr. Paradise isn’t a magician. Just saying.

She is admitting to going to fast food restaurants.  Now she has to admit to all of her non-stop snacking.  It's like her 'effort' is that instead of inhaling 12 donuts all at once she is eating a dainty 10 and saving 2 for the overnight munchies. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Aunt Theresa? If you think she's cheating on the diet, you could confront her maybe? Hahahaha, I kill me.

[Red Bridey]

There is nothing behind her eyes. She is an empty shell of an eating machine. I don't see any sign of intelligent life there.

[lemoncake]

She goes to the gym and gets burgers and tacos after and thinks that moving for 30 minutes will compensate

I wonder if she got any kind of counseling after her mom died.

Time for my 'lucky' new year fruit.  Two persimmons and two tangerines down, a grapefruit will wait until after the show because I can't eat grapefruit and chat at the same time.  Note that I am avoiding the devil fruit, oranges! 

I have never had persimmon. I love my tangerines and grapes.

You have us! We are your Pounder Pals, through thick and thin, through yogurt and sugar free jam, even grapes.

Because someone on TV said once that if you exercise, you will lose weight.  They said nothing about eating!   It gotta be true if it's on TV!!!!  And Dr. Now doesn't know every body!!!!!

Mr Lemon couldn't deal with the shower scenes. He saw the episode where they unhooked the washer on the back porch to hose down the fattie. He said he was out

It's like trying to control an alcoholic. Confrontation doesn't work.

Even though she has seen with her own eyes time and time again that this is not how it works. Sigh.

I've been watching for years. Can't explain why I love it so much, I just do. It got so much better once I found you guys 😀

[Pi237]

I honestly dont know why they don't send them to psychotherapy from the start. Obviously, if you're over 500-600 lbs, you don't have a normal.relationship with food.  Its not enough to hand them a book with a diet plan in it and say "now, go lose weight." Its like handing a drug addict or alcoholic a book that says "drink less alcohol/do less drugs"

I have a friend who is very overweight…she goes for a long walk ( she walks very slow) then rewards herself with ice cream and pizza poor girl.

That's kind of the AA method

And she has never taken responsibility for anything, ever. Watching her whimpering about how "stressful" it was to endure the anniversary of her father's death made me want to slap her. By her own admission her father was a mean drunk who scared her. Why does she need to weep and stuff down tacos to honor his memory? Gah.

There are several varieties of persimmons.  I like fuyu because you can eat them pretty much at any time, even firm they are sweet.  The other kind are very astringent until very ripe (and fully ripe they are visually a bit unappealing, mostly brown).   I highly recommend trying them.  I grew up eating them... though in my childhood they had seeds and astringency. 

[ams1001]

I got dessert - black cherry kefir with a little chocolate syrup.

I went grocery shopping the other day and I did not buy ice cream. Y'all should be proud of me.

I watch Dateline with a group on bluesky. Its hilarious 

[Eldemarge]

Not only will my man watch this with me, but we've watched episodes of My 600-lb Life Brazil together too!

I think he watches for the fascination and the gym scenes since he's a personal trainer.  His biggest client is around 400 lbs and he is always so shocked at how big these poundticipants are.

Because it's a socially acceptable excuse to abandon all care, and also pity farm as a bonus.

I had gastric bypass in July 2023.  Part of the pre-op process was being approved by the surgical practice's psychologist.

Many plastic surgeons make patients get a psychological eval if they want certain procedures or a radical change

Bad memories can be rough as Hell. I always have the urge to drink around my mother's 'day'. The wince inspiring memories will make you crazy.

[Snarkastikate]

"I'll try anything (except for eating less)". 

[Pi237]

So disappointing we won't get the satisfaction of seeing that hanging fupa get removed.
