Wait a minute...did I just see her wipe her butt with a "reacher"....

It looked like a pair of tongs!! Ack!

She would have been better off paying the assistant to drive her to Houston honestly.  Also, is this toilet shot necessary?  My eyes just fell out of my head for a second.

Good point.  Dr.  Now does not approve of 600 lb patients  traveling by plane. Very dangerous.

I didn't need to see how she wipes her ass. TMI!!!  If anyone needs me, I'll be bleaching my eyes. 

I am bleaching my toilet at the moment. none left for my eyes unfortunately.

[PeaceLily2]

I hope she got some bonus money for the "ass wiping" scene.

[Ellie Godfrey]

She wants help but won't quit eating. Dr. Now wouldn't be "letting her die". She's killing herself.

[poeticlicensed]

She seems relatively smart. She can't figure out she needs to stop eating crap, go on a controlled diet, lose weight and then she can travel? That's exactly what Dr now is going to tell her. 

[Guest]

It took all of 36 minutes for me to lose all compassion for this woman. 

[MrsClaus]

I'm not sure I'm going to make it through this one.  I'm deeply regretting that 1/2 a fast food taco salad I just ate (dd ate the other half)  Does that make me a bad mom??

[ThisGirlAsh]

Janine: "That attempted plane ride was so humiliating, I'll never do anything like that again"

Also Janine:  Wipes her ass using tongs and toilet paper on national television 

[chickenella]

Hi all! You peeps are too fast for me- trying to catch up on the comments during the breaks! But ores good to be here for another season!

[QuinnInND]

I bought girl scout cookies the other day. Perhaps I should put them away. Sitting here crunching Thin Mints isn't good.

What's even worse is those look like basic kitchen tongs.  What's next, a spatula? 

Appropos of nothing, but.....  I learned something new this week.  Apparently in some households people keep "poop knives" in their bathrooms to slice up big poops to get them down the toilet easier.  Literal knives.

Her voice overs are so self aware. Then she stuffs her face with corndogs and ice cream. SMH

It's like she goes BLANK...

[Cherrio]

Is anyone else screaming STOP FUCKING EATING at their television?

Geesh

[Miracle Maxie]

She’s getting annoying. She wants help but wants to dictate the terms? She keeps eating crap (and how is she getting the groceries?) Her actions show that she’s not as committed to this as what she’s saying.

***DEAD*** over here

I hope we get a bonus ass wiping scene. We were robbed when they didn't show Lee going #2 last week.

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. 

Same here! As soon as I got to be an adult I had the freedom to eat whenever and whatever I wanted. My mother locked up the cookies. She doled one out after dinner. She always told me she was "afraid"  I was going to get fat but she didn't need to worry about my brothers! I think it made me really want to sneak food whenever I could. My brother and I used to sneak and steal food. I had a friend who was thin as a rail and her entire kitchen had boxes of candy, chips, cake, cookies all over the counters and she never touched it. I would go over there and be in heaven!

TMI but we can now cross that off the list of mysteries of the ages.

[Lizz]

I don’t know what’s worse.  Some of them have had family members wipe them.

Definitely!  I thought that was an extraordinary comment. An ultimatum to Dr. Now?  How manipulative!  Her life!  Her decision!

[Threnners]

Fire up that scooter now toots!

[hoosiermom]

have to go to the BR. Taking my computer with me. lol I'm addicted to this chat!

I love how she sounded a little proud "You ever wondered how a fat girl wipes her ass?" sigh.... as much as I want to say "no" I guess curiosity really did kill the cat 

[PeaceLily2]

She has to know she could die at any time.  Right?  That couldn't have been a surprise.

They don't put enough cookies in a box to make them a threat.

[poeticlicensed]

Maybe she just needs someone who cares. She was just begging for Dr now to give her affirmation. She seems incredibly lonely and isolated

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?)

well if I saw like last week, a 750 pound man and a 550 pound woman rounding the corner in the grocery store on scooters I would be a inclined to look at them and then I would turn away, but I mean it would be hard not to look surprised at that!

I think you are spot on. 

[Donut Bear]

Oh boy another airplane trip.  Think she is going first class?

[LordOfLotion]

No lady, No! You're moving! This is your chance to throw everything away and start with an empty space!

[Lizz]

I will never look at tongs the same way again.

Anchorabu.  In the chat thread, she said that her mother passed away last October.  :(  

[hoosiermom]

didn't need tongs or a knife! yippee!

[Miracle Maxie]

Is she taking the cat???

[peaceknit]

She backed down pretty fast. All bluster.

[PeaceLily2]

Not liking the purple hair.

[Guest]

Is her hair purple now? (Resisting making some Grimace joke here.)

[88Keys]

We are almost an hour into this, and she hasn't even seen Dr. Now in person yet. 

[WhitneyWhit]

Y'all, I thought she riding that scooter all the way to the airport.

[hoosiermom]

sorry to hear that. Thanks 88keys

If she is leaving the cat, she's lost me. She has the cat, she needs to take the cat with her. I don't get people who just abandon their pets because they're moving.
