S06.E02: Janine's Story - LIVE CHAT

Drama queen

What is the pain from?  I understand if someone that big is walking and has knee or hip pain, but she's sitting in the plane. I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm curious, why would she be having pain?

I would hate to have somebody that immobile if something were to happen to the plane, she is deadweight literally.

Right? Like what if it crashed and they had to make a quick exit? What would happen to her?

[Carrie]

Let's give her credit - that took a lot of guts.  

[PeaceLily2]

OMG!  I have no words!

All the pressure of her weight on her bones, maybe?

[Guest]

For fuck's sake. Can she NOT have just taken a Valium and had a beer at the airport like the rest of us who hate flying but like to take vacations?

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Hubby: What a drama queen! Suck it up, buttercup!

You can see why he and I are so well-matched. We both have zero patience for whining.

[Miracle Maxie]

Getting off in Dallas? I begin to see that a big part of her issues is an inflated sense of entitlement.

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. 

They never are.

I'm pretty sure she would be left behind. No one is going to risk getting blown up in a plane trying to move 700 lbs down a narrow aisle and onto a slide.

[Threnners]

I'll be dumping an extra tub of change in the firemen's boots this year if this is the crap they have to deal with.

[Kid]

Why don’t they just put her in an ambulance and drive her  from Dallas to Houston.She certainly can’t go back to Seattle.

[ChickenLatte99]

In my opinion she does not want to change. She wants to eat until she dies.

She's also probably pretty stiff too and there's no way for her to move around or walk.  I mean jeez I'm 5'1 and even my legs get sore on airplanes after a couple hours of not moving.

I'd be using her as a human trampoline to get to that slide. Sorry, Janine.

[poeticlicensed]

At least we aren't  subjected to the requisite road trip in a beat up SUV with no AC going through every drive thru between Seattle and Houston cuz it's her last chance to eat lol

I am in her age-range and a lot, lot thinner, but I could stand to lose some weight.  And pain comes with the territory.  Truly.  On top of her enormous weight, she probably has arthritis which can cause pain - standing, sitting or prone. Plus I think she's just plain scared.

[Kid]

Another thing that’s beginning to bug the hell out of me is her closing her eyes every time she hears something she doesn’t want to hear or she’s obviously lying down.  I’m always suspicious of people who will not look you in the eye when they’re talking to you or with you.

[QuinnInND]

On another show, they showed a super cargo plane with winches and super carrying capability. Maybe they should have tried that. I'll see myself out.

I'm pretty sure there are bariatric surgeons where she lives. At the very least, she could have started an eating program with one of them, lost weight, and either gotten to Dr Now or had some one local do the surgery. You're right - she wants to eat.

OMG...she's in DALLAS?!? And can't go on...

Did she say that she had to get off the plane (as in change planes) in Dallas and would not be able to go on or did she just decide she couldn't take it anymore?? And, HELLO, she's in DALLAS so what's she talking like she can't make it to Houston?? Even if she doesn't fly, does she think she's just going to turn around and go back to Seattle? So she gets an ambulance or CraigsList-Uber-Friend-Stranger to drive her the rest of the way. Damn woman.

I can't help but wonder what legitimate need is going unanswered by these first responders.

[Donut Bear]

Why is she in Dallas anyway?  There are certainly nonstop flights from Seattle to Houston.

I laughed so I guess we are both going straight to hell.

[Shnoopy]

Ugh. Forgot it was on! At least it replays at 11! And the Atlanta family to watch too! Get to see some more gourmet bed cookin! 

[MrsRopersCaftan]

So Dallas to Houston is an extra hour and ten minutes by plane and she couldn’t do it? Her problems seem to be mainly in her head. She convinced herself she couldn’t do it so she didn’t. And now she becomes the problem of everybody around her since she can’t do anything for herself.

I think a lot of that of that pain is anxiety...take a damn Valium and chill out.

[Lizz]

Did she go through security?   I’ve flown with a cat and had to take him out of the carrier and hold him through the x-ray thing.  

[Threnners]

I find all these Golden Chick commercials airing during this amusing.

[Momof2boyz]

What happened to her cat??? She had it in a carrier at the airport!  Did she leave him on the plane??

True! Can't ask the flight attendant for 6 more meals. Lol.

[Threnners]

Her SIL is good people, I hope.  

[Leemah]

Get your big behind to Houston!!! Gesh!!! 

[PeaceLily2]

She didn't have enough to eat.  

[WhitneyWhit]

What's the flight time between Dallas and Houston? And hour? She couldn't make it an hour but her sister-in-law had to change travel plans at the last minute.

I am getting different commercials (have no idea what Golden Chick is) - over and over again - homeless dude singing'Don't forget about me' in the shelter. At least it's not food.

Sis-in-law thanks the medics but the patient doesn't.

[kj4ever]

I hope that narcissist from my fat fabulous life is watching for her commercials so she'll see what her life will be like in 10 years. 

I can't decide if I feel bad for Janine or can't stand her.  It's like watching a ping pong match.

Cuz she’s entitled.

[Miracle Maxie]

I’ve gone from identifying with her to hoping the ambulance hits every pothole between Dallas and Houston. 

[Kid]

How could she have a difficult time in an ambulance. She’s laying down and she’s got plenty of room it’s not like being in a car for five hours.

[55Unicorns]

STFU about your pain...Bite the bullet for ONCE!
