Former Detroiter here (born and raised). I do NOT wear head Band-Aids for an accessory.  How dare you, madam?

I will give you a pass since we're 600-lb pals.  :-)

Oh shit, busted! ;-)

[55Unicorns]

Dragging all those people on the road??  I don't know about this, Chad...

Energy drinks are like drinking liquid sugar

I just saw a headline today that energy drinks are supposedly worse than regular soda.

[sainte-chapelle]

I just opened a bag of chip and put it away without touching it, this show works wonders for my diet.

[hoosiermom]

Hahahaha kid. Where is Peter Pan and Tinkerbell when you need them!

[poeticlicensed]

Chad needs to consider doing short haul instead of long haul. That way he isn't behind the wheel so many hours and goes home at night. The money isn't as good but it's much healthier.

Just realized that my reply calling us "600-lb pals" implies that we need Dr. Now's help stat!  Sorry about that DC Gal.

Yeah, that is a strange plan. Giving up the apartment just for a few months? Won't they just have to get another one?

Damn, missed what Chad said, something about a storage locker? He talks kinda mumbly to me.

Never had one myself..... that's what Mountain Dew is for!

Money will be even worse when he regains the weight and is unable to work again, you are on the money with short haul being better!

He wants them to put their things in storage, and take the family on the road with him...to keep him "in line".

[Armchair Critic]

Is that what Teretha considers exercise? Oh dear.

[okerry]

I'd like to know what kind of pain meds Teretha is on, and if that's the real reason why she refuses to get up - because as long as she's in too much pain to stand, the meds keep coming.

She may need Assanti's number.

[Arynm]

Energy Drinks are terrible! My husband loves them, and I can't stand the way they smell! I hate it,  I won't even hold them if they are open. Just gross to me. Give me a Dr. Pepper if i really need a soda or something.

[sainte-chapelle]

But her leg hurts.....ah my leg!

[55Unicorns]

Dayeem....Teretha, a LITTLE pain for a LOT OF gain...

Not good. He needs to keep himself in line. I'm torn about taking the fam on the road. I've met people who pulled their kids out of school for traveling, but they were on a boat, or in an RV, not sitting in the cab of a big rig. For hours...  You may want to rethink this one, Chad.

Oh Hells no! Next installment for them, "My 600 Pound Divorce!"

[SkinnyMinnie]

Throw her ass in a nut house already.

[poeticlicensed]

Seriously, she is scared of surgery. Isn't she scared of dying? Her refusal to get out of bed is so frustrating. Now she is talking about"doing it on my own". Oh oh that's a bad sign. 

[Armchair Critic]

Chad seems like a mellow guy but I can't imagine taking kids on the road in a truck like that. My dad would have clobbered us.

Nooooo! I work in one and that wouldn't work at all! They have to be mobile.

[DC Gal in VA]

At least that damn band-aid is off her head, right CouchTater!? Tee hee!

[sainte-chapelle]

"I'm putting my appointments on hold" well we know what that means, hope I am wrong

[55Unicorns]

Where does he think they will all sleep...in the cab???  I've seen truck cabs; they aren't that big!

[Azubah]

"This is going to be a great family vacation!"  Sure thing, Clark Griswold

Yikes!  She should put it back on!  That scar/scab situation is looking rough!!

[Armchair Critic]

Chad wants to do it on "his time table". Famous last words before he gains the weight...

[SkinnyMinnie]

I'm sure they would rather see the country via cruise ship.

[55Unicorns]

...and away she goes...dammit...

Depends on the truck. Some have huge walk in sleepers with quite a bit of room. 

[okerry]

well, here comes all of Chad's excuses - "I want to do it on my timetable" - say hello to 600 pounds again, Chad

[Arynm]

I love how when these people fail or don't get the answer they want, or really anything doesn't go their way, they pull out the, "I will just go my own way and find someone else". Hello! There is no one else that's why you are on this show. Put in the work, you will see the results. You want to sit on your ass all day and complain about your pain? I guess you can do that too, but don't expect any more help.

[Brooklynista]

Oh Terethia. How dare they push you to do more. Shit do something!!

Her husband should be pissed. This man ia clearly sick and she wont do the bare minimum to help herself.

Unless it's one of those fancy ones with bunk beds and a fridge and tv.

[hoosiermom]

I don't think she really wants to ever walk.

[DC Gal in VA]

Uh oh, famous last words, Chad's gonna do it "his" way.

Oh Teretha, yeah go ahead and do it "your" way.

[Armchair Critic]

Teretha is "not getting the help I need" so wants to go back to Detroit. Oh brother, she is never getting out of bed...

[Azubah]

I'm skeptical about Teretha's voiceovers. They have that robotic, fake sound; I think they were written for her.

[mysticalflute]

*looks in*

*waves* Hello. New member here. :) Michigander here too! I'm just...yikes-ing all over the place with Teretha.

...because "her" way always worked so well.

[Dashing Off]

She's been a rehab for a month and still hasn't walked yet?! Ffs Teretha..

[sainte-chapelle]

Teretha's poor husband, she should be taking care of him! Selfish woman

Nice to meet ya! Here's your complimentary gasoline soaked pants and your ticket to ride this hand basket all the way to hell!

Amen! He is going to drop dead soon, and then what is she going to do? I feel terrible for him, he really has enough on his plate,he deserves a minute (or two!) to just worry about himself for once.

Seriously, this is another reason why I'd bet she is both a food addict and a drug (pain med) addict. Addicts are stone blind to the suffering of others right in front of them. I wish the EMTs had taken her husband away for help and just left her there alone. She'd get up, you can bet on it.

[Anchorabu]

Mom:  Teretha is gonna need another band aid because someone needs to smack her! Her poor husband...

I hate to say it but it is selfish the way these people who are bedbound use their families. We have all seen the mothers on here who claim they are living for their children yet their children are wiping their mother's butts and raising themselves.
