S07.E05: Holly's Story LIVE CHAT

[poeticlicensed]

Yeah, that salad was just too big. BS. She is eating fast food.

[libgirl2]

And she look like she was eating slop with the salad.

 Salads can be delicious!

[Pepper Mostly]

Wow, Dr. Now is taking no prisoners! 

[MsVixen]

I suspect that Dr. Now's hair dye is making him cranky.....

i don't understand why the whole family won't go on the diet. 

Because only Holly has a problem with food, don'tcha know

[Judy Brown]

I wonder if these people go eat junk food after their appointment with Dr. Now and then start the diet again the next day?  I mean she's getting a talking to by Dr. Now and her boyfriend looks like he is ready to hit the drive thru.

Compared to some of y'all we're having a heat wave in Tennessee, It's 18 with a wind chill of 11

She is delusional.  "I had cravings" is not an acceptable reason to forget about your diet.

I'd rather watch the Duggars than the other two shows. 

I second that.  I change channels real quick as I see jazz or a multi-wife family show commercial.    

[Hellga]

If she hasn't grown anything remotely resembling a backbone in 38 years, what are the odds she will grow one in 2 months?

[88Keys]

Holly seems really checked out.  I don't think she really cares or wants to change at all.  She keeps saying "I'm really mad" but she doesn't seem upset at all.

I didn't see what she was eating with the salad. Trying to get my younger twin to stop licking her sister. Smh 

[dreadfulLeigh]

That’s half a cup of mayo on that sandwich, dude!

[DEG9]

New Bingo submission - I'm really upset.

[Caoimhe]

I wonder how Ray feels about her saying that food is the ONLY thing that makes her happy!

[Wanda]

Sure doesn’t sound like Ray is the great love of her life

I was wondering where all the lettuce went under all that ranch! And don't get me wrong, ranch is my preferred dressing too (next to Panera's Fuji Apple dressing) but there's a limit.

At least you’re in double digits. We’re at 9 here, but there’s no wind at least.

I mentioned previously that I did Weight Watchers with a bunch of women from the office building. We'd go get weighed, listen to the lecture, then go have a big lunch! So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they did that.

[libgirl2]

Bets they get a wheelchair  in houston?

[poeticlicensed]

Does Ray speak?

[Gbb]

“The only thing that’s made me happy my whole life.” ie, “Screw you, parents & fiancé”

[Guest]

Look at all the exercise Holly is getting lounging in her wheelchair watching other people move her shit! 

[Hellga]

By "new adventure" does she mean new fast food franchises?  Are they any different between Georgia and Houston?

SHE'S 38????

[LizzyB]

I'd like to buy a thesaurus for all the Poundticipants. 

[Caoimhe]

Yeah I think Mom is rejoicing to get her house and her life back!

[Suzywriter]

Where are they going with that tiny U-haul? Is that for Holly and her wheelchair?

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

Okay, I'm banging my hand on the wrestling mat, crying UNCLE, you got me with this one. Here, take 'em, you earned them, the first, official sopping wet pair of gasoline soaked drawers of the evening! Congrats!

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh dear god now her mother is talking to her like she's seven! 

[Snarkastikate]

Uh oh, she's threatening to do "whatever it takes".  I doubt this creature has ever really worked hard one day of her life.   And she's crying because mommy isn't going to be there to take care of her.  Wowza/Yikes

[shouldbedancing]

I'm behind in the ep but I'm wondering if she has some sort of physical condition where she can't feel full. She really shovels that food down, it's more disturbing than usual.

[ShortyMac]

I notice a lot of these participants equate 'healthy' foods with 'boring' or bland. Seasoning can go a long way. My eggs were delicious: pepper, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, parmesan. My favorite way to eat them.

[parrotlover]

She talks about physically exhausting while sitting there watching Ray load up all their shit.

[Armchair Critic]

I said she acted like she was 18, more like 12!

[MsVixen]

Hell, Mom is close to 300 pounds herself.

It looked like she had a bunch of cheese on the salad, too.

[Splashes]

Can someone explain gasoline soaked drawers to me?

[Honey]

Stop cryin', ya big baby.

[QuinnInND]

Oh God. Blubbering like a baby. Ugh. She's only going to Houston. Stfu. My kids didn't cry as much when daddy got deployed for 6 months.

Yes. 

[fonfereksglen]

Interesting what Dr. Now said about previous WLS.  If you remember Olivia, she had previous surgery and then lost 400 plus pounds over two years and many surgeries.  So she would be a 1 per center, at least at the time we last saw her.

[Miracle Maxie]

Gasoline soaked drawers might be warming. That could be a blessing in this weather!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Ellijay, GA to Dr. Now's office is 13 hours, and 873 miles, and it took them 4 days to drive there?  It's all interstate driving too.     Bypass Atlanta, 85 to Montgomery, 65 to Mobile, and I-10 to Houston.     

Get the gasoline drawers ready for me.       I bet they would have made it to Houston with one overnight, if they wouldn't have hit every fast food joint from Georgia to Houston.     

She claims to sell Mary Kay, and Young Living Essential Oils, how does she do this?     

I bet the revenues of every fast food place on the way had a severe increase in profits for their period to Houston and back home.

Why can't Ray, and Holly marry?    Did she ever divorce the first husband?   

What the hell did she sacrifice for this?    By the way, a bag of lettuce, and all of the stuff she put in it (chicken, and lots of grated cheese), plus that fatty salad dressing is not diet food.

I bet if she ever gets the surgery it won't be gastric sleeve, but the more severe, and she'll clean out a Taco Bell drive through on the way home.     

Second trip, took how long?   Why doesn't she just lay the seat all of the way down?    Then they could drive a lot faster, or does that interfere with drive thru stops every 10 miles.

Holly Hager is not trying.    Ray certainly could use a diet himself, and I bet would qualify for WLS too, and her mom certainly would too. 

Month 1---658

Month 3---629, down 29 lbs.    

Another patient who thinks that Dr. Now's office visit will magically make them lose a lot of weight just by coming there.     I bet she thinks that she'll get surgery, and be instantly thin, but I'm betting if she gets surgery that she'll eat through it very quickly.        If they can stay in Houston, why don't they just stay there permanently?     

On a shallow note, is there a surface in the parent's house that isn't wallpapered?    And it's all ugly.    It's like a model home for wallpaper samples from the 70's.

My brother was in AA.  He made many friends there.  After meetings they would go to the bar.  Kind of like fast food after seeing Dr. Now.

I’d like to thank my husband, Dr Now, Schenee, James all you wonderful pounders and my lord and savior colonel Sanders . Couldn’t have done it without y’all.

OMGoodness - you're moving to Texas, not Iraq. These people are so friggin' weak and lacking an adventurous spirit. I would have killed for a job at a school in Texas when I got my PhD, but I'm in a small field and there weren't any openings there. I have been to the Alamo, so that's something.
