All I know is 'The Incredible Mr. Limpet' (Don Knotts)

[MrsClaus]

I think my eyes are leaking just a little bit.  So glad to see her dad so happy,  just makes me realize how much I miss mine.

I don't usually quote myself but with Ashley's recent weight gain I have to take back my assumption that exercise will keep them from thinking about food or eating. Ha ha, I almost said in the previous post that you can't eat and exercise at the same time. Boy was I wrong!

I walked to work eating a sandwich today, but I have no class.

[CouchTater]

Both sisters look almost as old as Dad.  That's weird.  Those ladies need makeovers.

Get back to us, I’m wondering too. I keep thinking of a Don Knotts movie.

[Pepper Mostly]

Diana's sister and dad are totes adorbs. 

[Armchair Critic]

This Diana story is melting my cynical heart.....

[zoemom]

Aww,, I love her dad.  So rare to see a supportive family that communicate maturely with one another and that we can understand.

[mellowjoi]

Diana has the most normal family that has ever been on the show.

Me, too?

What show am I watching?! Why have intelligent, well-spoken, normal people invaded My 600-lb Life?!

We need spreadsheets! Who hired the Craigslist hunk, who sees Dr Lola, who thinks they can lose weight on their own, who has a trainer...

Maybe after I retire I can devote time to this hobby!

I’m off for the summer. This is tempting!

They’re just lovely

Diana is blowing my mind how prepared she is!

[Armchair Critic]

The downbeat music is making me leery that something bad is going to happen.....

He should do her knees before she has the skin removed.

My eyes are leaking more than a little. I’d give up refined sugar to be able to hug my dad again.

Clinton Kelly is out of work now, perhaps he and Stacy can get back together for a "What You Should Wear After Losing 600 Lbs!".  TLC are you listening????  Full circle.

Yes!  And I think that packing lunch is too much effort.  Oh well, that's why the office has cafeteria!

[DC Gal in VA]

I forgot how much I love, love, love her family! So loving and supportive and, once again, articulate. Are ya feelin' me Schenee and Freddy? And damn, dad has a gorgeous house. Oh Diana just said "It's not a diet, it's how I eat now." Love her!

[Pepper Mostly]

Here it comes. "I'm going to do it my way" in 3, 2....

Oh, sweetheart...

[DEG9]

Taking bets on how much Ashley gains before she finally buys a clue

[Smoothcoat]

Oh WTF Ashley! 

[aliya]

Ya know -- yes it takes some planning for Diane to prep her food and bring a blender, etc. but it's not terribly hard. Why do so few of Dr Now's patients actually make an effort after the surgery? I bet she's not eating chili 3x  day, either. She learned what she can eat and she eats it. And when she leaves the house, she doesn't run to fast food, but thinks ahead and works her plan.  I can't fault her at all.

[OoogleEyes]

Uh oh, here we go Ashley

Ditto for me @Miracle Maxie.

[Pepper Mostly]

"I'll show that mean old Dr. Now!" Oh Ashley. 

[CouchTater]

They live on their own now.  Why do they need to move back in with her family in CA???  CA has apartments, too.  Or so I'm told.  Gah!!!

She's going to be as big or bigger than she was before she came to Houston.  I'm so disappointed, she started out doing so well.  Denial will get you every time.

[TTLY6]

Oh hell no!!! She did not just blame dr. Now. 

[CircusPeanuts]

Hi everyone—  i’m late to the party (again). Can’t wait to read everyone’s comments. My dinner is lean cuisine beef enchilada paired with Miller High Life—Champagne of beers

Because she can blame her "family" for having unhealthy food around the house.  SMH.......

[Suzywriter]

So Ashley lost enough weight to "grow closer to" (have actual sex with) non-driving enabler Daniel, and now she's quitting.

Greetings @CircusPeanuts, plenty of room left here at the table for you.  Cheers!

[Snarkastikate]

Johnnie Weir.......I have no words

[Miracle Maxie]

“Mom is my biggest cheerleader.” Um, I think you meant “enabler”, Ashley. 

[Hellga]

That talk about "remember potatoes and cheese" can't be helpful!  

[Pepper Mostly]

I can see her gaining weight. 

[Miss Chevious]

I’m late too. How ya’ll doin’?

I am going with Unpleasant sexual experiences for a $1000 Alex! 

[Smoothcoat]

Shut up Ashley’s family. Not helping! Stop coddling her!

[Miss Chevious]

Ashley’s going to gain by osmosis. Her family are all champion eaters.

[TTLY6]

Enabling 101. Its not your fault 

[mellowjoi]

Ashley, I hope you're reading this because this message is for you.   Remember when Dr. Now was your last and only hope to save your life and you didn't know what you would do if you got to Houston and he said NO to your surgery request.  He was the only one in the entire world that could help you, even California with all of the doctors there Dr. Now was the only one that could save you.  Now you quit the program because you know more about weight loss than he does, the man that saved your life.  Unbelievable!

[simba barracuda]

The arm skin removal seems like it would be so painful

[Hellga]

Watching Ashley makes me seriously consider just taking the rest of the chocolates I made on Sunday to work rather than finish them myself...  but I only kept a dozen for myself anyway.  Decisions, decisions... 

[TTLY6]

Does the husband ever talk?
