S06.E05: Karina's Story - LIVE CHAT

[jnagle4]

She's closing her eyes. It's almost like she's having sex.

[hoosiermom]

She ate all that by herself?

[LordOfLotion]

I think it was 3 pizzas.

Did you hear that food order!!! 

OMG!  I'm a serious pizza lover and couldn't/would eat that much in 6 months.

[Brooklynista]

So the move to San Antonio is her traumatic event??

[spacefly]

Add "Recliner Chocolate" to the Bingo card!

Two brownies.

Aren't those brownies from pizza places like the size of a pizza?

And it's from Papa John's. That makes it even worse.  Like seriously, if you are going to say "Fuck it," go to a local joint. 

[Schippmom]

All that food has to exit...good lord

Those pizzas had to be for the TLC crew right?

Right??

[hoosiermom]

Her parents must give her a lot of money for "incidentals".

I think just being alive is her traumatic event

[CringeWatcher]

I don’t feel normal because it takes me half an hour to wiggle my way through the bathroom door. 

[JJ1]

Another newbie here! Everybody I know thinks I’m crazy for watching this show, but I’m fascinated by the enablers. C’mon - just cancel the damn credit cards (trust me, pizza won’t be delivered without payment) , don’t buy the chips and juice - but noooooo. Bizarre!

[Snarkastikate]

Question...how do these people stuff themselves while the cameraman is going up right into their faces, right into their mouths???   And while were on it, there's ALWAYS a shower scene to open the show, every time!   And yet I just can't look away.....

[jnagle4]

I can eat.....four wings maybe?

Hey, leaving Chicago can be traumatic. I still haven’t adjusted to life outside the Midwest. ?

This may be the grossest eating scene ever. 

Food in/on furniture really squicks me out. And on that note, time to turn on my TV _ I wait til I can FF through commercials for awhile! All your comments have me chompin' at the bit!

She's not going to like Dr Now's 1200 calorie diet. Nope. No one bit.

Cleaned up once already, the rest can wait until morning.  I hate snow!

We've got a storm coming thru tomorrow afternoon and into Friday. I'm gonna leave early; forecast is for 6-8".  Nope, not gonna do it.

I’m sorry to say I always think about that issue. She’ll need extra long tongs. 

[Katydid]

How does she think her parents don't know how much she eats when they're gone?  Um...the 10 empty pizza boxes are probably a good clue for them.

She'll "be staaaaaarving" for sure.

Welcome JJ! Buckle up. We're not gentle but it sounds like you'll fit in.

Dr Now wouldn't be happy with my eating habit. 

I find myself wondering what Dr. Now's eating habit are like. Does he follow a healthy diet? Splurge a little but exercise some portion control? Exercise? Or just have a really good metabolism...

I apologize in advance but I'm just going to go there. Because I wonder - are these folks just constantly clogging their toilets? Do they keep a plumber on standby?

Welcome JJ1!

[Cherrio]

If Karina were to hook up with Steven Assanti, their pizza delivery would have to be a moving van.

Yeah.  I went to 10 different schools in 12 years so don’t talk to me about the “trauma” of moving. And yes I too used food and have always had a weight problem but stopped well short of being disabled by my size.

[Carrie]

Missed the beginning.  How old is she and where does she live?  Don't think I've ever seen a patient on this show eat so much unabashedly on one sitting.   Her stomach must be the size of a watermelon!

These people should invest in a portable bidet. I bought one a couple months ago and it's changed my life. Then again, I don't have 300 excess pounds

[Miracle Maxie]

Welcome to all the new folks! Great to have new snark!!

38, San Antonio

[hoosiermom]

Are we sure that was "chocolate" on the furniture?

On the bed grosses me out. 

[ThisGirlAsh]

Most awkward family dinner scene.....you could hear a pin drop

[ShortyMac]

Looks like they ALL need help with their weight, not just her.

[chickenella]

Sis could see dr.now also.

[Smoothcoat]

At least she's already in Texas, right? Hopefully not too far from Houston!

[Guest]

Why does anyone ask how the people who are being filmed for a show with Dr Now found out about Dr Now?!

Love how bitchy Marisabel is about Karina's weight when Marisabel doesn't seem like the poster child for fitness or size 6 fashion.

[Snarkastikate]

Has the fat collected in her throat?  Or maybe just a speech impediment.  So she's breaking the news to her family that she's seeing Dr Now...dad pretending to act surprised.  And yet the cameras are there.  

[CringeWatcher]

Sorry, I’m behind...but what’s up with this chic’s chicklets???

[novhappy]

Oh she's gonna cheat the hell out of the diet! A girl needs her hugs!

[hoosiermom]

looking at that empty table she was thinking no hugs, can't wait to fill that table up with food again.

[nlkm9]

ok it was 4 boxes so i thought 4 pizzas?? I can eat a lot but wow!! where do they get the money? I wonder what the delivery person thought or how many times he has delivered there already..

I'm adding paraphernalia to the list. cinderblocks, wheelchair, sheet

Don't forget tongs.

I bet she makes a fast food stop.....

[Hero]

I like how the sisters kids are overdressed for the family dinner. 

[poeticlicensed]

You know you are fat when you can't fit thru the sliding door of a damn van

Seriously wtf?  Sis is pretty heavy herself and she's over here acting like she's Jillian Michaels.  Girl bye

[jnagle4]

Is that a shirt or a tarp?
