S06.E12: Sarah's Story LIVE CHAT

[Quof]

Quote

I'm not understanding why she wasn't given a wheelchair and an attendant to push her.

 

She wouldn't fit in a regular wheelchair.   And there's no way one person could push her.  The airline won't risk injury to an employee and the accompanying Workers' Comp claim.

God bless Grandma!

Heather was just looking for an excuse to bail

Can you blame her?

"it's been a bit of a hard month." 

Okay whats the over/under on weight gained?

She's going to pack on at least 50lbs.

Granny is not taking any of her shit.  She sees right through her.

She's not letting her eat any garbage at least.  Go granny!

Already skipping Dr. Now....not a good sign.

[elly1517]

Go Grandma!

Grandma is watching what she puts on her food and she's is feeding her lean meat and veggies. I'm sorry for your suffering. 

Right? Thoughts and prayers for you, Sarah.

Good for Grandma, minding what she eats!

[junip]

Kick her ass, grandma!

Sis kinda hinted at bailing on her during their visit with Dr. Now, so no surprise there.

Yeah. "We're working on that" = I'm gonna try not to be the one to move down here. Not that I really blame her.

[Leemah]

This isn’t gonna go well

[LookABird]

The grandmother is darling!

[PeaceLily2]

Her bulge in those leggings!

[Kid]

I don’t think her mother going with her is going to work. Because mommy is an enabler.

Isn’t she??!!! Loving her. 

[Threnners]

No gurl no on those stretch pants.

Maybe if she lived with granny when she was younger, she wouldn't be 600lbs.

Seriously. Mom should have sent her to live with grandma. 

[Guest]

Sarah's tote bag says, "thug life." Um...I don't think you're living a "thug life" lounging in a chair while shoveling chips and salsa in your mouth before you crawl up the steps to go to bed.

[Lizz]

Did her bag say Thug Life?

[DC Gal in VA]

Uh oh, missed a scheduled visit with Dr. Now. Check. Hasn't been exactly following her diet? Give that a double-wide check!

[QuinnInND]

Love Grandma. 

 

Ride in the back, Sarah!!! Seriously. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Oh good. A 16-hr car trip as well as a plane trip. How’d we get so lucky?

[elly1517]

Obviously with editing we only see what Grandma was feeding her  (Who knows if she was sneaking food) but I'll say she'll have a loss - but not the full thirty. Not even 20 I'd say

[Quof]

Oh fuck off with the car door won't open.    Sit in the back, princess.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

What pressure can you possibly have that is stressing you?  You don’t have a job, you don’t do anything all day and have zero responsibilities.  

[Leemah]

Hand me the candy??!!! This what the problem is

[BuddhaBelly]

These people are snarky. I appreciate them. 

[hoosiermom]

Candy? Really?

[MsVixen]

Hi Everyone!  MsVixen reporting for duty!

Going on record to say that I knew Heather, the sister, wasn't going to move to Houston when I saw her facial expressions in Dr. Now's office.

[Any day now]

Uh-oh! Road trip with mom

[xls]

Seriously most of the relatives are huge, Moms, sisters on this show need to diet right along with the patient.

Not at all, I think she was being forced into it by selfish mom.

[zoemom]

Oh the pressure!!!! "I've given in a few times" yeah right.  

Mom looks like she could see Dr. Now too.  Wonder if Dr. Now will give her a two fer.

Time for a car trip in a 20 year old car.  That should be fun - especially since the passenger side door doesn't open!

"Don't break the steering wheel"  that sounds like another "My leg!!!" 
 

At least 18 to 20 hours drive to Houston.  That's counting multiple fast food stops.

[ams1001]

"How am I making you nervous?"

Um, because you're criticizing her driving nonstop?

[maggie263]

Where does she live? 

[LookABird]

I am a fairly peaceful person, but I LOATHE backseat drivers.

[junip]

Grandma happy as hell right now.

[elly1517]

This is slowly turning into a trainwreck

The stress of all the emotional bullshit they are carrying around like a badge of honor. 

[DC Gal in VA]

O.M.G. Do we have a Whiney McWhinester with this one? I don't mean no harm but puhleeze STFU!!!!

[Any day now]

 A long drive is hard enough when you’re excited about where you’re going and you actually like who you’re with.

Turkey, sweet potato stuffing and green beans.   And beer

Tater Tots  in the oven and some box wine! :)

Sarah take at least a little responsibility for your eating, please!  It’s all “mom’s actions made me eat” and such. Argh!

Where does she live? 

She started in Dayton Ohio, but grandma lived in Kentucky. So they're driving from Kentucky to Houston. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Those two are toxic together. The bickering, constant passive-aggressive jabs, enabling, guilt, resentment, anger...etc, etc, etc. Super good plan to move with Mom. Super duper. 

[aliya]

1. Who the heck keeps candy on the dashboard? Aside from the calories issue, wouldn't that be a problem in a crash?

2. I hear mom about the 2 days in the car. I knew I'd kill aliya jr on a 10 hr car trip - if he didn't kill me first. We sound just like Sarah and her mother just going 10 minutes into campus together. Hence, we took a plane for our trip - one hour in the air. We aren't stupid. 

[Guest]

Armchair psychoanalyzing this, but I think Heather got the F out of that house, started a real life for herself, and never looked back. She might have kept in touch with Sarah out of some sense of obligation but she doesn't care about her, the mother, or the rest of them. I don't blame her for a second!  

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

This trip has shit show written all over it.

And subsequent year long arrangement might as well have a neon sign that reads “dumpster fire”

[DC Gal in VA]

Will mom and daughter come to blows on the road trip? Oh my Gawd I hope so.

[zoemom]

I think Grandma is in KY, but she's from Dayton, OH.

She may not make it to Houston - I wouldn't blame mom if she threw her out of the car, I would if I had to listen to her bitch about her driving for 15+ hours.

Wonder if we're going to get the requisite hotel scene?

[Quof]

Ah, the road trip is giving me the warm fuzzies.  Flashbacks to my youth.  My mother drove (my car) after my eye surgery.  I yelled at her to pull over because, even dilated and sedated, I was a better driver.
