S06.E19 Doug LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I think the show encourages them to not weigh themselves so they show surprise a the big reveal.

[DEG9]

only 3 added this time. not bad, considering,

[Pepper Mostly]

Why is he giving his kids chips??

[Guest]

"I MAY have some potatoes."

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh Doug and others you know what Dr. Now is going to say about a weight gain. Doug honey you are depressed. Get thee to a therapist. Hint, your mom was a piece of shit.

[Arynm]

He needs to go back to therapy. I think he is depressed.

Because he's an idiot.

45-50 lbs gained I'm going with. 

Most scales don't go over 300. Maybe that's why? Idk. 

Amazon lists some high capacity ones but they're kinda pricey (they do list one that goes to 550 for about 40 bucks, though; might not be the most accurate but it could at least help keep track of trends).

 

Stop eating what the kids are eating!!! Or feed the kids better food and teach them to eat right while they're young.

You win. Giving you an award for quote of the evening!!!!

I went for comfort food for my eating habit. Mac and cheese, chocolate cake, potato sticks. It’s almost a who cares what I look like diet.

[honeywest]

Send him to Dr. Paradise.

Teaching the kids to eat better food now is the way to go.

Thank you! 

[hoosiermom]

Didn’t he already tell him to cut the carbs? I think he added more to his diet.

[Miss Chevious]

I wish Dr. Now had told Doug he wasn’t a failure. That alone may have helped him. Glad he’s going to therapy.

Heh heh, amen honeywest. Love me some Dr. Paradise, both him and his awesome name!

[Susanlynn9]

The sad thing is I really liked Doug in the initial episode; not so much in the follow-up.

[Pepper Mostly]

Every single person on this show who has kids whines that they have to feed their kids and therefore it is impossible to eat healthy. Like feeding your kids healthy food is such a peculiar notion. 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

We need to see Dr. Paradise in a car so he can be "Paradise by the dashboard light". 

I'll let myself out . . . 

[zoemom]

See, Dr. Now is your friend Doug.  Don't know does Dr. Paradise make house calls to Wichita Falls?

[Susanlynn9]

Dr Paradise would be awesome.

[honeywest]

So things have been a little less stupider up till now?

...while he's eating a cheeseburger...

[ams1001]

Thanks to someone's comment earlier I now have chocolate milk (but no bendy straw). And strawberries with a sprinkling of raw sugar.

[DC Gal in VA]

Uh oh, he said she. Does he mean Lola? Whew, good, it's not her!

[zoemom]

Perhaps he could get some exercise by picking up all of the stuff on the floor in his living room.

Yeah. Mainly because I haven't seen that stupid commercial for a little while.

[Kid]

Hey, Doug, your mother walked out on you when you were a child. You expect her to step up now?

Appropriate for Doug. “Tried to amend my carnivorous habits...”

How has it taken this long for someone to come up with this joke?!

[toodles]

Dontcha know, you've got to feed kids "fun kid food". Or what they want to eat. It's ridiculous. 

[hoosiermom]

Waaa,waaa, fucking waaa.

[zoemom]

I don't like the visual when his therapist asked him if he was going to "flush things out".

[LookABird]

Snark!  I need snark!  Help me out, someone!

[DEG9]

I like this therapist

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

Ok, I made the sandwich.  But I wanted to be healthy, so instead of bread, I substituted low-fat strawberry Pop Tarts.

Call me for the recipe, Doug!

Sorry. I think this is where he turns it around.

Oh, poor Doug is a helpless victim of weight gain.

I'm so glad I'm vegan so I can enjoy this healthy sammich!

[Threnners]

Why doesn't he have a job?

[DC Gal in VA]

I think Doug has a LOT of repressed anger at his mom, and deservedly so. That whole conversation about forgiving her was a bit too superficial for me, kind of like our current cult of forgiveness. Sometimes, IMHO, forgiveness is overrated. ***Now removing my fake ass psychotherapist hat***

Edited to add: Really liked this therapist. Hope he keeps seeing her. I don't like this show's implication that therapy is a one shot deal.

[zoemom]

Dunno......she said he needs to focus on himself, thought that is what he's been doing for the last 45 minutes.  (There's another 45 minutes I'll never get back,,,,,)

[honeywest]

Does this mean Doug’s destiny is art?

As long as you skipped all that unhealthy meat like grilled chicken, you're good!

[CouchTater]

Despite his whiner mentality, I really like Doug.  He fairs very well compared to the other 600-pounders, as does his wife.  Well-spoken, communicative, teeth, hygiene.
