S06.E07: Lisa's Story LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Lisa's struggle with her weight began as a child and significantly worsened after  witnessing her brother's murder.  Now bedridden and unable to care for herself, Lisa must find a way to lose the weight or she will never see her grandchildren grow up. 

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

And yes, that says that Lisa witnessed her brother's murder. Her. Brother's. Murder.  Who's brain is trying to explode right now thinking about that?

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.  

[Hero]

Got my snack. I'm ready to be entertained for the next 2 hours. 

Hopefully this is a good episode. 

[hoosiermom]

I really don't care for the stories where the obese person holds their child hostage and never lose weight to change things. I hope this one is different. Hi everyone!

[calpurnia99]

HI ALL! I'm finally here on time! 

 

Uh oh she can't read the drivel they wrote down for her!! I love when that happens!

[aliya]

Starting right off with "Ow, my lehg!"

[ThisGirlAsh]

"Weight unknown"

[MrsRopersCaftan]

[CouchTater]

And in this case, the grandkids are also hostages.

[Yolo]

Noooooooo!

[calpurnia99]

I can't believe when she tries to read the "The journey is hard but it's something that I have to do for myself, if I want to live my life, for my family"...

[Miracle Maxie]

I always have my snack before this starts. I lose my appetite pretty quick once it’s on. 

[QuinnInND]

Hi everyone!! Maggots?? Ack! 

[Shnoopy]

Daughter ain't no lithe thing.

[Smoothcoat]

Hi everybody! How y'all doing?

[hoosiermom]

quit crying g and just quit eating so much if you really care! these people! ugh

[calpurnia99]

who is the little boy in the room with this naked woman?

[Hero]

Imagine your grandson watching you receive a sponge bath.

[Kid]

The daughter is no light weight either.

[emma1420]

I want the daughter to get the surgery.  She needs it, and if she nips her weight in the bud then she won’t end up like her mamma.

[nlkm9]

OMG!!!! ok thats really gross. how sad.

[goldensglitter]

Maggots, just nooooo

[hoosiermom]

I couldn't look.

[aliya]

Ice cream is everybody's friend at night. Just sayin...

[CouchTater]

She was such a cutie as a kid.  Damn.

[MrsRopersCaftan]

“I feel so bad that my grandson is being held hostage by having to care for me...

...but not enough to, ya know, change or anything.”

I'm already pissed. Stories like this always make me want to snatch up these poor kids and take them far away from the hell they live in.

[calpurnia99]

well thats not right they allow that kid in the room! Terrible!

[emma1420]

So she has issues because her mother wouldn’t let her have cake and her parents got divorced?

[Guest]

"She took my bowl and my spoon and threw it away."

Yes, because there were probably MAGGOTS in that, too.

[hoosiermom]

sounds like the teacher on Matilda. Ms. Trenchbolt?

[spacefly]

Maggots...WTF, I think I am out for this one. I will just follow along here and watch some Olympics. 

[Guest]

What the hell am I watching?
