S06.E19 Doug LIVE CHAT

[Pepper Mostly]

He's shocked--SHOCKED! 

Oh, Doug is discouraged. 

He's not sure the diet is right for him! Jesus, you asshole! YOU GAINED WEIGHT!!

[QuinnInND]

Doug doesn't think Dr Now was fair!  He doesn't think Dr Nows diet is right for him at this point. Alright then..

Technically, Oreos and potato chips are "vegetarian." 

Now I want to make a potato chip and Oreo sandwich.

[zoemom]

Cute kids, looks like a nice house.  That's a change!

[Pepper Mostly]

"working hard" "back on track" "doing it my way" Wow, one "journey" and I'll have Bingo!

My vegan friend used to occasionally get french fries from the cafeteria at work. Last weekend I went to his house for game night and he was eating Doritos (the Spicy Sweet Chili flavor is vegan). (But he's a distance runner and normally a healthy eater. He can afford a few handfuls of Doritos.)

You gained weight. You failed. You don't have continue to be a failure, however.

Putting meat back into my diet... *pushes a mess of sausage into a pan* Hmm.

I feel like Doug bought a fall out shelter back in 2012 when people were predicting the world was going to end.

[3girlsforus]

Hasn’t anyone ever heard of roasted veggies?

[Kid]

Hey, Doug, get a job!!!

[Pepper Mostly]

More paper plates! Don't any of these people own crockery??

[DEG9]

His attitude about being a stay at home is a tad... irritating

[honeywest]

How y’all doin’? My eating habit is half an extra-lean corned beef on rye (I didn’t have lunch today).

Uh-oh—Doug is having an existential crisis.

I hit “send” too soon.

[QuinnInND]

His twins are adorable.  

[Donut Bear]

At least they sit at a table to eat.  That is a first.

[ShoePrincess]

Good evening, Pounders. My eating habit is a plate with several types of cheese, pate, grapes, and water crackers. Oh, and a nice glass (maybe two). I don't think this one's going to be very snarkable, but I'm sure we'll do our best.

Sorry I missed James last week. Hubby and I were glamping in a place with no cell phone or internet service.

[Pepper Mostly]

What defined him, exactly? Being fat? 

[3girlsforus]

I don’t think Doug is a failure. He failed in this. These people don’t get to 600+ lbs because they have strong self esteem. I can see it hitting him to be called a failure 

[Donut Bear]

Oops, no plates

[hoosiermom]

Now it is Dr. Now’s fault for criticizing his weigh gain. Huge eye roll

[BuddhaBelly]

Oh there's a beard..

Hey, they're eating at the table. Baby steps.

[Threnners]

I need a gif so bad of Dr. Now yelling "It's CRAP!"

[Pepper Mostly]

Oops, he's missed an appointment. and he's stressed out. 

[Guest]

Doug is "stressed." Oh, LORD.

Doug, I have some news for you: YOU ARE A FAILURE.

[Threnners]

You've hit a carb-block, jackass.

He has a job. He takes care of his kids. He just needs to view it that way and suck it up like millions of moms do every day.

Somebody has to watch the kids. Maybe they can't afford child care for the twins and for him to work. Just saying. 

But his attitude about being home with his kids is annoying. I love being lucky enough to be able to stay home with my twins. It's crazy and exhausting, but I love it overall. 

[zoemom]

Doug, "Just Say No to Carbs"!  You'd think being Mr. Mom he'd use some energy chasing them around.  I do like that he is thinking about his future and improving himself.

Is Ashley a therapist?  Listening to her she sounds she's using "therapist lingo".

Uh oh.......he skipped appointment with Dr. Now, because he was "realistic' with him.

[Pepper Mostly]

Dr. Now was a big old mean meanie who's mean and Doug haz a sad. Jesus, buddy, buck up. 

[Susanlynn9]

I'm actually more concerned about his wife. She has put on quite a bit of weight since the original episode.

But he has SO MANY JOBS he's gonna get! "IT, graphic designer, NASA engineer, circus clown..." SOMETHING! 

[Kid]

He does not get it. The problem is he will gain back the 200 pounds he lost and more if he doesn’t get a grip.   

So he can go on and on about the 200 pounds he lost. Losing it’s not the issue. Keeping it off is the issue.

[QuinnInND]

Gag that carpet looks filthy! Or is that the way it's supposed to look? 

[aliya]

I had to go do something and came in when Dr Now said to start eating meat. Doug needed to learn about low carb vegetarian. I don't think he has to have meat and I wasn't thrilled that Dr Now didn't provide a way for Doug to learn more about how to do it right.  There are a number of people (MDs) promoting vegan/vegetarian lifestyles, including the Dr who was on 'Big Medicine.'  That bothered me a little.

If people want to eat meat, that's their thing, I just thought Dr Now would be more inclusive with someone who wanted to try going meatless. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, here we go. The excuses are coming fast and furious. Its impossible to feed children healthy food! Its so stressful with all the vacuuming and all! 

[DEG9]

go back and listen to the conversation

[Guest]

Why do people have giant punch holes in their walls? I've never had a punch hole in any wall in my home. How does that happen?! (Besides the obvious punching.) There was one behind the sofa where Doug was sitting.

He said earlier in the episode that he needed to find a career.

better to punch the wall than the other person, but it does speak to a possible anger issue

Probably from the obvious thing you stated. Getting pissed off and punching the wall. 

[Kid]

Here is the problem when you’re an addict. If you’re recovering alcoholic, the rest of the world can drink.  You can’t. If you’re a food addict, the rest of the world can eat whatever they want to. You can’t. So he has to quit whining about what the kids eat.  And considering his one son already has boobs, maybe they should be watching what the son is eating as well.

He is using staying home with the kids as an excuse for wanting to go back to his addiction.

People think vegetarian/vegan automatically equals healthy. Oreos are vegan. 

 I belong to a FB page - What F.A.T. Vegans Eat.  Yeah, vegan doesn't always equal healthy. Still, I thought Dr Now could be more accommodating.

[MrsRopersCaftan]

I was a stay at home Mom for twelve years. For the last four years of that, I cared for my terminally ill mother and ran her house in addition to mine. Yes, it was exhausting but I sucked it up and did what needed to be done. Doug seems to have too much time on his hands to feel sorry for himself. We’re all tired, buddy. All day, every day. That’s adulthood for ya.

I think he could really benefit from some time with a therapist. He’s got some stuff going on in his head that’s throwing up roadblocks and hurdles.

I think Doug's meatless diet came with huge helping of carbs with his veggies.

[Susanlynn9]

Before he lost the weight, Ashley had to do everything herself. She worked full time, cleaned, took care of the kids, and took care of him. He needs to pull up his big girl panties and get over himself.

[Threnners]

Waah, you were mean to me.     Stop being a big mangina Doug.

Agree, one of my friends is a 300 lb, vegetarian.  Being a vegetarian doesn't equal being skinny.

[Guest]

OH MY GOD!!!! JESUS, GET A GRIP, DOUG!!!!

LOL at Dr. Now, "The reality is you are [a failure]."

[WhitneyWhit]

So what I'm hearing is that you can only say nice things to Doug or otherwise he will gain weight?
