S06.E02: Janine's Story - LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

A woman whose extreme obesity has left her nearly immobile must overcome both her physical and emotional pain if she is ever to live a normal life again.

This is the LIVE CHAT thread.  It will be open during the US East Coast  showing and again during the US West Coast showing.

A reminder from the Mod Announcements:

Let's avoid discussing how money is being snatched from the public's wallet for the participants unless it’s specifically revealed on the show. Anything else is pure speculation not to mention also a slippery slope toward talking politics. 

Let's keep it to what we see and learn during the episode and avoid an off topic discussion of the various subsidies and assistance. 

Thanks and enjoy the chat!

"How y'all doing? What seem to be the problem with your eating habit?"

Let the games begin.........

[SkinnyMinnie]

Hey all

[LordOfLotion]

It's ON. I saw a promo of her trying to get on a plane earlier this week and it was not good.

[hoosiermom]

i cooked a ham for myself and i am going to dance around it naked tonight. I love ham and never get it during holidays because my kids are vegitarians.(sp) Hi everyone.

[AnnaBaptist]

What a beautiful cat!

[SkinnyMinnie]

After this show she should go on "Hoarders".

[PeaceLily2]

She has betrayed her body.

[Armchair Critic]

Ugh the requisite shower scene... the main reason why I would never agree to be filmed for a show like this

[55Unicorns]

Right here with you boys and girls!

[LordOfLotion]

Her cleaning herself may be the only thing keeping her mobile.

[ThisGirlAsh]

I wonder how she found a matching bra and panty set in her size

[PeaceLily2]

Her bra and panties match.  

[Armchair Critic]

On the plus side she actually gets out of bed to prepare her own food.

[hoosiermom]

she has matching bra and panties! I'm impressed. i don't have anything that matches like that.

[poeticlicensed]

Ack the plate of food! 

[Kid]

At least she wears clothes! Thank God.

[PeaceLily2]

That sausage looks raw.  

[ShortyMac]

The sugar struggle is truly real. The only thing that has helped me is cutting carbs.

[Armchair Critic]

Well technically she is eating fruit... LOL

[Guest]

Janine's living the dream* spraying the whipped cream into her mouth!

*My dream.

[55Unicorns]

Dayeem...I'd go into a sugar coma after all that...

[LordOfLotion]

Did you see that whipped creme go in her mouth??

[Smoothcoat]

Hi everyone! I predict this one is going to have an even harder time due to her age.

[Guest]

Diet pills at four?! She must have been the star of the kindergarten track team.

[LordOfLotion]

Speed at 4 years old. That's messed up.

She's actually WEARING underwear, that's a rarity on this show!

[Armchair Critic]

I feel your pain lady, my mom watched my weight and what I ate like a hawk. The first thing I did when I got my driver's license was go to 7-Eleven and buy all the snacks and goodies she wouldn't let me have. 

[hoosiermom]

I have cookies next to me. Bad on me.

[55Unicorns]

WOW...what a mother...

That was my thought too. "Lady - your body is thinking the same thing!"

[88Keys]

What up?  I'm slowly dying from the flu over here.  

Janine has a nice voice and she sounds pretty intelligent.  Her story is really sad.

[PeaceLily2]

It is never their fault.  Ever.  The blame game gets old.

I do give her points for the matching bralette and panties. There's a micro-modicum of dignity in there somewhere. 

[peaceknit]

Looks like she has a handicap unit apartment, with that large shower.

Tofurky came out with a ham last year that I was finally able to try just after Thanksgiving. It was so good, I bought another for the freezer because it's a seasonal product. Not gonna lie - I love and respect pigs, but I missed ham so much!  

Back on topic - what did she have next to the waffles?  Looked like cookies. Waffles and cookies, and a side swig of Dream Whip. Wow. And people are surprised at how much they weigh.

How y'all are?!

[Armchair Critic]

I still eat like my parents are gone and I am sneaking in all the goodies. But thankfully I never got as big as these people.

Before I lost weight, I would always have something like that while I watched The Biggest Loser. lol Something about these shows.

[Miracle Maxie]

My mother wasn’t much different. At least I didn’t end up on diet pills until I was 14. 

[Donut Bear]

I miss Lee

[55Unicorns]

Oh, good Lord...

Well, if her mom really was giving her diet pills at age 4, I can kind of see her point.

[hoosiermom]

I ate peanut m&m's during the biggest looser. lol

[Armchair Critic]

I talked to Amber who was on this show, she is super nice. I have been doing WW and it's been a big help. This lady seems pretty decent so far.

[Guest]

The cat! I l love the cat!!

[hoosiermom]

she needs snap chat.

[Guest]

Here comes the grocery store humiliation part of the program.

ETA: OMG NO! It's the drive-through-on-my-scooter portion of the program.
