S06.E10: Benji & David's Story LIVE CHAT

[Threnners]

My eating habit sucks.  I just got over norovirus and carbs were basically the only thing I could keep down.  But I'll be back on the wagon by the weekend.

[poeticlicensed]

Here comes the sob story

[DC Gal in VA]

Wonder Twin Powers UNITE!!! Oops, wrong show.......

Anyway, hey y'all are!

Btw, why oh why do all of the participants think they need to inform us that they like to eat like Benji just did? Duh!

[MrsClaus]

So one is killing himself fast and one has a job and is killing himself more slowly.  Gotcha

 

I enjoy lots of things, not just food.  How do you get to the point where food is the only thing you enjoy?

Cadbury eggs are my weakness! 

I get ones with real sugar shipped to me from England. They're uncommonly GOOD.

[ChickenLatte99]

Not to be mean but mom looks rough.

[Hellohappylife]

God they’re fastfood breakfast  is like my Fast good budget for a month. 

[zoemom]

Not enough money for toys, but stuff their face with food????

Mom's a big girl too...............

[Maggienolia]

hey y'all doin'!!! 

Ahhh the requisite "I've struggled with weight all my life".... many of us have dude. But crossing the 500# line is on you. 

[hoosiermom]

couldn't afford toys but had all that take take out?

[Azubah]

The Chippendale stripper look on a 3-year-old. So tasteful.

Or after watching tonight's episode, think that will put you back on the wagon.

Beauty pageants? No wonder they are screwed up

[Maggienolia]

Oh dear God a pageant mom!!!! horrors!!!!!

[IOU Payne]

Crossover with Toddlers & Tiaras, anyone?

[Hellohappylife]

I didn’t grow up rich but my brother loved hot wheels and they were like 88 cents and this was in the 90s.... they didn’t have cheap toys for these boys? How about a ball? They can run after outside? Can’t be that much money

Beauty pageants are the root of all evil, just look at Honey Boo Boo. ;)

[aliya]

Reading the replies about everyone's eating habit, I feel pretty good - a bag of Asian frozen veg, Thai curry in coconut milk, and packaged curry flavored tofu nuggets. It was a test purchase. Turns out they're not bad. 

OMGoodness - is that the twins' mom in the hat?  How old is she?

How's everybody's eating habit tonight?

I had cherry pie for Pi Day!

Oh god, skin lesions.

I was thinking this makes me feel better about my own weight (more than it should be, but still under 200), but that made me feel better about the patches of eczema on my legs, too.

Wheeeee I finally made it to the live chat! How Ya'll doin!

And cue the shower scene! Does that tattoo say PAIN?

And the other arm says SUFFER.

And I'm still single ?!?!?!

I thought the same thing!

Yep, let's hope that's not foreshadowing.

Hey Benji only has lymphedema on ONE side- and he sounds proud of that.

I guess it's all relative...

I noticed in the opening tonight that the line from the one who died the other week is something about his weight being a death sentence...now realize in hindsight that was foreshadowing!

[LordOfLotion]

Has anyone else noticed they don't have any hair on their legs?

"I'm fat because I didn't compete in the childhood beauty pageants." 

How soon the world forgets:

Show off. You'll never get a shower scene eating that way.

Most guys want their license to go pick up girls. He only had eyes for Burger King.

Yup.. The boys are in their 30s so maybe like early 50s?

[Threnners]

HOW DID SHE EVEN FIND IT TO JUMP ON IT

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh mama, your kids don't grow out of their weight; their clothes yes, but not their weight.

[zoemom]

Helps when your brother weighs more than 200 lbs, so you don't think anything is wrong with that.

Circulation issues, probably. I stopped growing hair on my legs and was actually kind of happy about it (no shaving!) until my massage therapist told me it was because the blood flow to my legs had gotten poor. 

[poeticlicensed]

Is that Honey boo boo in the picture?

[BuddhaBelly]

They're still dating...and I'm single. I need to reevaluate my life.

[Threnners]

I don't even want to know about this.  

[Ellie Godfrey]

Big heart? No, hun, it's an enlarged heart. Not a good thing.

[poeticlicensed]

Mary, what the fuck is wrong with you ?

We don't have them in North Dakota either. And if I was going there, I would get one of their breakfast croissants. Yum! 

[Hellohappylife]

“I thought they’d grow out if their weight”  yes you can grow out of your childhood chubbies but once you reach like 200 pounds before puberty,you’re on your own to get rid of that shit.

[Brooklynista]

Why Mary?? Why choose a man thats 600lbs??

[hoosiermom]

I am eating Moose munch gourmet popcorn with milk chocolate and macadamia nuts. Very good!

Mary could stand to lose a couple hundred pounds too.
