S05.E22: Where Are They Now? Laura and Chay LIVE CHAT

[poeticlicensed]

Who is Laura living with?

[notyrmomma]

I'm actually jealous of Laura's ankles.  They are totally not swollen and are smaller than mine!

Lot of these relationships go belly up I see..

I'm such a cynic. I'm not convinced Joey is giving her the right medicine. 

Hmmm. Interesting thought.

It is SUPPOSED to be, but I don't know...I'm sensing some kind of photoshop...

[Anchorabu]

Mom wanted me to say thanks to all of you for your kind comments and she sends love to each and every one of you! ?

Yes! I second that!

[poeticlicensed]

So I assume Joey doesn't work because he has to "take care" of Laura. Or maybe he has a job and I'm just not seeing it.

Moderator is being a bit touchy about how we refer to Chay.  I thought I heard erstwhile "Lola" wants to be called "Chay" again.  No fun when we have to snark on egg-shells.

As soon as Chay said "I decided Lola wasn't right for me so I went back to Chay", the mod posted to say that it was totally cool to use Chay as it was her preferred name, because using her preferred nomenclature and pronouns is what was most important. I don't think that is an unreasonable ask ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[junip]

What are Laura and Joey even fighting about?!

[jacksgirl]

So happy to see these women walking. Douche bags at the park. 

[Oh My.]

I find it so irritating when the women in the show begin to lose weight and get less dependent and the male gets upset.  That's how Joey sounds.  Bettie Jo's husband was the same.  Ugh.

Edited June 1, 2017 by Oh My.
I'm tired and screwed up my comment.

[Miracle Maxie]

Chay, there's this thing called "the internet" if you're trying to find a support group. 

[okerry]

1) Did Chay say whether she was on female hormones or not?

2) My gawd, Chay is wearing Pauline's turquoise pants.

[poeticlicensed]

Tourquoise stretch pants are a no no

Being skinny for the first time is like being newly rich.  I call it nuvo-thin instead of nuvo-rich.  You do things like shop exclusively at Victoria's Secret for underwear...and make silly duck faces in your selfies like all your skinny friends have done for years (hell, you actually TAKE selfies!)

Right? People are assholes. 

 

OSM Dad said Laura could lose 200 lbs by ditching Joey.

We'll miss talking to her, it has been lots of fun talking to Mama!! She is without a doubt the best!!!???

[hoosiermom]

Hubby does not looked pleased with Laura's weight loss.

[Threnners]

Oh Laura honey no,you are not ready for minis.

[Ellie Godfrey]

Wolf-whistles, cat-calls. Welcome to our world Chay.

I guess I missed that note. I just read the one where the moderator scolded for not using "Lola".... Thanks for catching me up.

Her face looks like wax

Mom wants to kick the asses of all the ppl mocking Chay in the park. 

[jacksgirl]

Love seeing Laura all prettied up

[mysticalflute]

I'm terribly late, but Laura looks amazing, wow!

Still - painful to see those assholes calling Chay names in the park. Never understood that kind of cruelty.  Felt very sorry for her. 

[mysticalflute]

What happened to that club Chay sang at last time she had an update? Didn't she make any friends there?

[jacksgirl]

Self pity, not self doubt 

[Miss Chevious]

Why do the husbands want their wives still fat?  "He still wants me to have some meat on my bones." Wtf??

[notyrmomma]

Chay needs to read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.  That book changed my life.

Chay the internet is full of support groups if you can't find one in person. Google it!

For the love of all that is holy...please don't tell me those wretched turquoise stretch pants made an encore appearance.  I seriously CANNOT.

Probably so no other man will want her.

[DC Gal in VA]

Sooooooo, Chay is told to lose 7 pounds a month but Laura needs to lose 15? Whassup Dr. Now.

Uh oh, Chay is starting to sound like James K. Not good.

[junip]

People are jerks but Chay sure didn't help with those terrible colors and clothing choice.

[55Unicorns]

Chay needs to get out of the conservative, small town religious town she's in...I remember her aunt and uncle were being hateful when she first admitted her transition...

[OSM Mom]

Not good. Giving up is not going to end well.

That particular brand of mockery was gender-neutral - reserved for fat people only.  Sigh. People are perpetually high-schoolers.  That's about when the personality sets.
