S07:E06 Lacey's Story LIVE CHAT

[Kid]

Nice apartment.  Dysfunctional family.  She was doing so well but now, like any addict, going to her fix.

[Guest]

OMG!!! No one is making you "give up food." They're "making" you give up eating a bucket of fried chicken as an appetizer. 

[Granny58]

I love that green and pine cabinet.

[Splashes]

Ope here comes the anxiety and fear stuffs

[Hellga]

Noooow she is starting to want food.  I knew it.  While it was all excitement for her, she coped just fine.  As soon as something happened to throw her off-balance - her progress instantly went down the drain.  She has literally zero ability to cope with any stress.  Therapy is coming!

[QuinnInND]

Is her bed in the living room?? 

[Pepper Mostly]

Here comes therapy! Who will it be? Dr. Lola? Dr. Paradise? 

[Splashes]

Shit that chicken looks good

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Lacey's arms are really huge. Dr. Now is going to have to do some serious skin removal on them. They can probably take 10+ pounds off each arm.

[Minivanessa]

So, surgery cancelled, off to a therapist first. And Mom wants her to lie to the therapist.

She's bipolar??? Oh, that's a conversation stopper.

[MsVixen]

WTF???  First time I heard of Bipolar Disorder!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Mom’s got a super sourpuss face.

Lacey has bipolar? What’s mom diagnosis?

[88Keys]

Mom doesn't really care if the therapist finds out Lacey is Bi-Polar.  She cares that Lacey will go to the therapist and tell them how awful she (Mom) is.

[fonfereksglen]

Bi polar?  Explains something we cannot discuss?

[Wanda]

Lordy, dr paradise and Lola will have to double team on this one

[Armchair Critic]

Oh dear is stress from living with her mother going to ruin her diet? I love my mother dearly but I wouldn't want to live with her for long.

[QuinnInND]

So she's bi polar? Wow.  So it's mom's bed in the living room. Alright then. 

[Concerned]

The problem is she’s stuck in a child role. She wants the idealized parents she never had. But she’s almost 30 and the parents are around 60 so that ship has sailed. She needs to build an adult life, not be a perpetual child like Whitney.

I love Popeye's chicken 

[CrazyInAlabama]

So Mom moves to Houston, and now Lacey backs out of surgery?   I guess they only could afford a one bedroom, so Mom's bed is in the living room.    Please tell me the shrink won't be Lola.  

They won't cancel the surgery for the bipolar, but they sure will if she ate all of that breaded, fried chicken, and if she made the number of fast food stops I'm guessing at on the way.       I don't blame the Mom for being mad about backing out of surgery after they moved.  

Mom's diagnosis is total enabler, who doesn't want to lose her food buddy.  Really, Mom was pissed from the second Dr. Now told her she was still fat, and when he saw she hadn't lost an ounce, and she said she was eating fruit.   

Not Pimple Popper again!

[Hellga]

Is she really bipolar or is that's just Mom's assumption?  THat's a pretty serious diagnosis. 

[Minivanessa]

Oooh, Mom meltdown. Wow.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

You know what Lacey? I’d be pissed too if I just shlepped my ass from Michigan to Texas and all of the sudden you’re having second thoughts about the surgery.

[ams1001]

I have solved our eating issues! Bucket o' chicken!

(Speaking of chicken, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings [not my choice because I don't eat wings and generally don't like places where I'm surrounded by 41 TVs] last night and had a really nice salad with grilled chicken and lemon vinaigrette. Came with yummy garlic toast - not too much garlic, lightly crispy but not crunchy.)

Well, here's the mom drama.

[DC Gal in VA]

Uh oh, here comes the only alternative is fast food scene, twenty pieces of fried chicken. Wow, Dr. Now cancelled the surgery and told her go to therapy? Is that a first? Did she say she was bi-polar?

She almost sounded like she was relieved to have the stress of her family as an excuse to eat.

[Hellga]

And they are both being pretty awful right now.  They deserve each other. 

[QuinnInND]

Wow. Mom's a real bitch. Just wow. Smh

[libgirl2]

What a difference  from Justin and his dad

[Armchair Critic]

Why do these overweight women on this show always wear tank tops with all the flab hanging out? I am paranoid about covering up and I am less than 1/3 of their weight

Royal ass bitch?

[Splashes]

God this mother is such a bitch. And yeah she just doesnt want her to tell the osych about how bad she is.

[Gbb]

Did Mom just fucking tell her to go eat?! Bitch.

[Pepper Mostly]

So mom is all "You're going to get out here and talk to me!". But when Lacey lumbers out to talk to her, she snots "Just leave me alone!" Poor Lacey has bipolar disorder and whiplash.

Yes! You could see in in her face, tone and body language—she instantly regressed to a childlike role. 

[calpurnia99]

I'M REALLY SCARED RIGHT NOW!!!

I am not sure because this is has never happened to me but they may be hot? I’ve always been fat but I’m very cold blooded.

Also many fat women complain about arms being too tight. Again I’ve never had this problem despite being fat my whole life BUT I’m a pear shape and wear straight sizes up top. 

[Guest]

UGH. 

What I want from this show: actual drama.

What I don't want from this show: manufactured "will-she-or-won't-she" drama. Here's how this is going to go -- Lacey will see Dr Paradise or Dr Lola, have a breakthrough in three minutes, and decide to have the surgery after all.

Probably they are too hot for sleeves.

[hoosiermom]

What kind of mom doesn't want her child to get help for a mental illness?

[DEG9]

 Be interesting to see if she really is bipolar, or just an assumption the mom used as an excuse.

I would go to my room and ignore my mom if she was like that, too.

[Miss Chevious]

Why does Lacey need Mom in Houston anyhow? She’s 29, mobile, can care for herself and prepare meals for herself. Lacey seems to be stuck in a child role. She needs to send her mother packing.

[Guest]

Also, I'm sorry but I'm loving the corn chip horn on this lady's head and can't WAIT to see the episode tomorrow night.

The same kind of mom who let's her child be an 80lb 4 year old? And over 120 at 8?

I think the doctor recommends they have someone to help them right after the surgery when they can't get around.

[Snarkastikate]

Well this is interesting!  I know Mom bears some responsibility, but hell she did lose maybe 100 lbs, we've certainly seen fatter family members on this show.  She had to move for a year to Houston and now bratty daughter doesn't know how she feels about surgery?  Hmmmm.  And did anyone catch the yelling of "NO-AH" which seems to be how kids pronounce "no" now.  

[3girlsforus]

Late to the party tonight... this looks much more dysfunctional than we’ve had for the last few weeks....

After the surgery, she needs someone to help.

Her arms are way out of proportion and she probably can't get them into sleeves.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Oh goody!  Dr Paradise.  

Does Mom think that the film crew won't rat her out?     Wrong.
