'Evening, Pounders. A little late to the show because I was making dinner - To eat while I watch My 600 lb Life. At least it's vegetarian...  I  can't believe her parents just let her get so big so young. They should be ashamed. I think Prader-Willi has other presentations that I don't see in her, but I wonder if there is some other disease that give people such an appetite? She seems to have had quite an appetite from a very young age; a little different from our usual obesees.  

Side note - it's -18 w/a -39 windchill, down from -48. What's it like where you are? 

Even though we cancelled classes and a lot of staff like myself worked from home, a student was found dead behind a building on campus. Alcohol was not involved, so I wonder what possessed this poor kid to go outside when the school was begging people to stay in?

OMG, how tragic that someone died out there. We just got brushed by that front here and didn't get the deep freeze temps. Sending you good wishes that the power stays on and the weather warms up soon.

Interesting about Prader-Willi. I've seen some shows about it but don't remember much detail.

[Pepper Mostly]

Here we go again. "the only thing I could rely on to help me survive is food". And your parents. and your enabling boyfriend. fuck off Holly.

It's a balmy 2 degrees here, with a windchill of only -10!

That's really sad.  Did your school have classes today?

Maybe its just me but I find eating in or around the bed I sleep in totally disgusting. 

I am paranoid about bugs so I never eat in bed

Have we heard “journey” or “I’m so scared/nervous “? One of those should be center square!

I’m in a lot of pain✔️

[cmpbl]

I need food to calm my nerves... When I'm nervous the last thing I want to do is eat.

No I don't think so in regards to the prader-willie syndrome.  My cousins son has that and had some congenital mental defects that I think go along with it.  It's a horrible thing, he would eat inedible things and even rummage in the neighbors trash.  He's in a group home under constant supervision now that he's older.  Doing pretty well.  

Eating inedible things is actually called PICA. My autistic son has that. It’s not a part of prader willie per se

Oh my, Aliya, how horrible 

[Miracle Maxie]

How is she not rolling the car over with all that squirming?

[Kid]

God, why doesn’t he dump her on the side of the road and drive away.  Frankly,  I don’t know how much of her I can take.

Omg page 4 already! 

 

Bedtime took for freaking ever tonight. I’m just starting, but pee pads on the floor? Geez. 

What? I was in the kitchen and must have missed this. They just let her pee on the floor??????

[poeticlicensed]

watching her push that burger in her pie hole is nauseating

[libgirl2]

Did they drive about ten minutes?

[Donut Bear]

Don’t these people break the bed springs in these motels

[88Keys]

It's a 12 hour drive and they stopped after 2 hours?  Wow.  This is going to be a looong trip.

With that said, I do feel some sympathy for the car trips.  It was really uncomfortable for me to make long trips when I was pregnant with my twins, and I wasn't nearly as big as these people are.

[cmpbl]

2 days for a 12 hour trip.

[Snarkastikate]

Nothing in life means anything to her except FOOD.  Once again said it's the only joy and happiness in her life.  This is one mentally ill woman.  Truly physically challenged people would be angry that she's wasting her life, a life they would love to have a chance to lead.  I'm just angry, she's horrible.

How horrible.  There have been a few older men die after snow removal, but nothing like that.

Good Lord. It was -38 here this morning with a wind chill of -58.  It's a balmy -17 now. -37 wind chill. That's horrible about the kid. Wow. Maybe it was a challenge thing?

[Guest]

It's HARD!

I'm SCARED!

I'm NERVOUS!

I'm DONE!

I've "known" this woman for 15 minutes and she has worn me out. 

[Pepper Mostly]

"I have to rest". By "rest" she means "eat". 

Seriously, she's going to call and reschedule? 

[Suzywriter]

Rest more than she thought? She's resting from sitting and eating?

Weather here is -5, -31 wind chill. Never seen temps like this before.

[QuinnInND]

Any bets on her weight? 

[CringeWatcher]

It’s 30 degrees here. Don’t know about the windchill, other than it’s chilly.  I don’t know how some of y’all do if. I cannot fathom 40 below.

[Lesia]

This fiance is pathetic.

[Hellga]

I will guess 687 for the weight!

As much as she eats you would think she would literally bust a gut or get sick from it

She did bust through her staples. That should count for something

He obviously needs her to define his role as a care-giving enabler, and, eventually, mournful widowed partner (even though they're not married)

I often wonder about the desk clerks at the motels...what do you think they are thinking when they glance out the window and see the Poundticipant being helped out of the lopsided car/U-haul cargo area?

Might add in the Navy too just to make sure there is enough

I feel like puking.

So, what happens for instance at Thanksgiving?   One entire dinner for 12 for her, then another for the other 12 individuals?

Please pick up your gas soaked undies by the door please! (love it)

It’s not that cold here but we have snow squalls! Sorry to all of you dealing with the crazy low temps.

It is selfish to get that big and have people wait on you

He'll propose in the final scene. You saw it here first. 

I'm guessing 661 for weight.

30 above?  It's colder than that in my garage.  

[Wanda]

I’m snuggled up in bed watching this, listening to the wind, knowing I will be out in -15 wind chill in the morning as I take care of my horses. At least I’ll be too frozen to eat 3 breakfasts and then brunch

[dreadfulLeigh]

Is Dr Now going to do a R n Y?? She’s only got to 390 lbs after a gastric sleeve??

It was -19 real temp when I left work yesterday. Had it not been for the wind, I would have stayed outside of the bus shelter, but it finally got to me. Fingers were tingling, though, even with gloves. 

[Miracle Maxie]

I’m thinking she’s over 700. I’ll say 724.
