Here comes the grocery store humiliation part of the program.

Drive Thru......

[ThisGirlAsh]

Um.......is that even legal?

[Hero]

I want her cat!!!! He/she looks so fluffy!!

[hoosiermom]

oh crap! Fast food on a scooter at take out.

[Armchair Critic]

Hopefully this lady will still supply some snark material. ;) Nobody will top Steven Assanti, "oh my leg" guy, and Penny. 

[55Unicorns]

So far...this is kinda sad...where are her brothers??

[Threnners]

I feel really bad for her.   

[sainte-chapelle]

I want the cat

[Maggienolia]

The scooter through the drive-thru!!! I can't even. 

[peaceknit]

oh my god, i thought it was an urban legend when someone comes up to the drive-thru on their mobility cart! guess not!

[sainte-chapelle]

Ok I feel sad for her.

[Guest]

UGH. My biggest pet peeve is people who lick their fingers when they eat. Your mouth is not a substitute for a napkin!

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

I'll bet she made them herself.

[Carrie]

I do think preoccupation with food and diet by parents can contribute to adult weight problems in their children. It creates an obsession with food, not to mention a narrowing of one's sense of self-worth which becomes wholey dependent on a number on the scale.

[CouchTater]

Hi everybody!  Am I horrible because I laughed at the visual of her in the drive-thru lane, with cars lined up behind her?  That's a new one for me!

Sorry, just gotta LMAO!!

[CouchTater]

I must have missed this:  why did she say she has no help?  Where are her brothers/

[aliya]

Surely she wasn't the first model, plus or regular, to get hurt and need to take a break. They don't all pack on the pounds during recovery. They think about their career and do what they need to do re diet while in recovery.  Then later she breaks her foot (this is why I avoid exercise) and it's another excuse to gain weight - and permission to eat, which is what she really wanted to do in the first place. 

[55Unicorns]

TOMORROW?!?!  Damn...nothing like planning ahead...

[Miracle Maxie]

I’ll ask what I always ask. Who’s taking care of her cat?

[hoosiermom]

That's cool she got an assistant.

[Carrie]

This is a very lonely person.  Who is Jonathan?  Oh - she's paying him.... So sad. 

[Guest]

Oh, man. It's really sad to me that Janine had to put out a Craigslist ad for a friend to take to Houston. 

[55Unicorns]

WOW...that's some cold blooded brothers...

[Brooklynista]

How sad. She has to rent a friend.

[ThisGirlAsh]

I wonder how that Craiglist ad was worded 

[poeticlicensed]

So how do you clean your home? And your body? It's not a wake-up call when you you can't do anything ? I don't get it. 

[PeaceLily2]

Her friend needs to pick up around the apartment and vacuum!

[ChickenLatte99]

She has such a nice, calming voice.

I always ask that too!  I was afraid she was going to sit on the cat a few times. 

[Hero]

I feel really sorry for.

[Donut Bear]

How is this plane ride going to work?

Me either.

[Carrie]

Considering her size - she is more self-sufficient than many other patients on this show.

[poeticlicensed]

Flying is a miserable experience. I cannot imagine flying at her her size.

Well, she's going to cry...according to the previews...

[Guest]

Credit to Janine for being self aware. 

I'm getting nervous for her when she gets on the plane. I don't know how she would ever get to the bathroom if needed!

[hoosiermom]

where is she going to leave her scooter?

[Miracle Maxie]

This one is hitting way too close to home. I weigh less than half of what she weighs and I’m still mobile, but there are way too many similarities and it’s freaking me out just the least bit. 

[Maggienolia]

I'm afraid it isn't. How do you even think you're going to get a scooter like that ON a plane?? even the wheelchairs don't usually go ON the plane. This is going to be a horror show. I feel so bad for this woman.

We are cat people, clearly!  ?

That had me worried too, Sit on kitty, roll over on kitty, eat kitty.

[Armchair Critic]

I am cringing watching this, eek!

[LordOfLotion]

Why do they always say they're humiliated? I've seen so many fat people on scooters now that I don't pay any attention to people on scooters. (And how sad is that?)
