I'm trying to quit smoking ... by still smoking.

I love Mark Twain!

 

"You're a bad example."

"Oh, well.."

Thanks, mom.

That Mudder is a bitch.

Susan is about the first woman on this show who doesn't have a weird husband or live-in sponge.

Why does the mother need to come to the appointments anyway?  Especially if it makes her uncomfortable!

What was the quote?..I actually missed it.

What's with all the scars on mom's arms?

[BuddhaBelly]

How much time has passed?

[zoemom]

Love Dr. Now with the Mark Twain quote!!!!!!   Tough Love, he pissed her mom off by busting her and calling her a a bad MISERABLE example (I'm not smoking, I'm vapping - I'm just gaining the weight she's losing).

Again, don't these folks know about nicotine patches/gum/etc.........

Susan, it's time girlfriend to get far, far away from that witch....

Yeah true!!! but she needs to not live with her mother! Her mother used to be the thin one. The mother is morbidly obese herself and is bringing shitty food into the house.

Susan is a grown-ass woman.  it's not her mama's fault.  She needs to grow the fuck up.

You know, I've been thinking about that. Maybe Susan is eating because she likes the taste of the food? Who doesn't? I don't think that every obese person has some deep-seated mental issue and not every failure to lose more weight means you hate your mother or something. 

Hmm... Susan still acts like a child though. She can't say what she needs to say to her mother and just puts her head down and avoids looking at her. She did something similar when her sister was in the office with her in the original episode.

[ams1001]

I love my mom, too, but I don't wanna live with her! (She's not a toxic bitch, though. She's great, actually, but I'm an adult.)

 

Oh, no, cancer. :(

[hoosiermom]

"quitting smoking is easy. I've done it hundreds of times".

[DC Gal in VA]

Hey Dr. Now how about a recommendation for the patch, some kind of pharmaceuticals, anything to help Susan quit smoking? Smoking is an addiction too!

The Twain quote is ‘Quitting smoking is easy. I’ve done it hundreds of times.’

[QuinnInND]

Aw man. Cancer. Fuck. Preston is adorable. 

[CoachWristletJen]

Susan's mom really is awful. She complains about Dr. Now, "He's been doing this every time I come."

Well, it's because she won't quit bringing terribly fattening foods around her daughter.... not to mention the smoking!

Doesn't she realize her daughter would have died without an intervention?  Doesn't she care?

Seeing this woman explains so much about Susan, who needs to move out of the house!

How about a little drama -  this is really boring

How about a little "bone cancer".  Not to mention the fact that she's gained 15 lbs despite eating small portions and protein.  

[Threnners]

I had a friend that died of spinal cancer at 28.  It was horrible.  :(

Her mom is rotten, and she accepts zero responsibility for anything.

No kidding. She did say they haven’t done the biopsy yet so maybe they are speculating and it isn’t confirmed. Dr Now doesn’t seem convinced. I hope it isn’t cancer.  

[Guest]

OMG!!! Why is Bettie Jo thinking about skin surgery when she's got bone cancer?

She doesn’t even know if she’s got bone cancer.  She hasn’t had a biopsy to confirm the suspicions.

Yeah.....something doesn't add up with her story.  Don't know if it's because she doesn't understand things she's being told, but she does need to see Dr. Now to straighten things out....

Susan.....move please!!!!!

[MrsRopersCaftan]

I’m having the hardest time focusing on this episode. It’s SO BORING. 

Theyre scared. They’re trying (but not really). Susan’s enabler Mom is toxic. BOR-ING.

I’ve got a bunch of furniture I bought at IKEA today. You know this show is boring when the thought of assembling IKEA furniture is more exciting than watching this snoozefest.

We get Melissa next week.

I love assembling IKEA furniture.

LOL!!!!!! Yep, that's pretty bad.  Got your Allen wrench ready????

Why do they all have to FLY to Texas?

[Caoimhe]

Oh no, plane trip!

Love Dr. Now the snarky comedian !

[Barb23]

Is it me or is anyone else having trouble understanding what these people are saying (Susan & mom)?  I  really need subtitles. 

[Stusan]

Wait - she was on bed rest for 8 months?  That's not what I thought I heard at the beginning of this episode. 

[Miracle Maxie]

In two weeks it looks like a new episode. “The three Perrio siblings”. Have we seen them before?

I actually love it too. I fight my hubby to be the one who does it. He screws it up every time. Mostly because he won’t read the instructions!

Just now, zoemom said:

I’ve got a whole drawer full! Our decorating style is “Early American IKEA”.

[Threnners]

I do not wish flying with an infant in a stroller on anyone.   That was the most stressful experience ever.

Not a great one for me so far either. But, I've only been 65 for 2 weeks. lol

[Donut Bear]

Oh geez husband Josh is wearing an undershirt and shorts on the plane.  I always get that type in the seat next to me. 

[CouchTater]

Man!  Josh and Bettie Jo have neither a pot to piss in, nor a window to throw it out!  Uncle and aunt "loans" money for an apartment, mom buys their plane tickets. 

But that baby sure is a cutie.

[zoemom]

She's afraid of seeing Dr. Now (because she's gained weight).  She can't exercise (because that growth on her back).  She can't lift Preston (because that would be too strenuous).  She's really SCARED... will she fit on the plane?  will people stare at her?  Someone give this girl a Xanax!

Better living through pharmacology!

[ams1001]

People bigger than you have gotten on planes for this show.

 

Eating habit note: I have procured cinnamon toast. It's whole wheat, though, so it's okay.

Baby still so cute!

[DC Gal in VA]

Once again, especially with Bettie Jo's spinal issue, does she really have to travel to Houston for a weigh in and office visit with Dr. Now?

Damn, did she actually fit into one seat?
