She eats so delicately with her pinky out. And then there’s her shoveling hand

HA, I knew it! I was sure she was the first transgender patient

ChayLolaChay was the first.

[Azubah]

"Chasity"? Oy.

[QuinnInND]

Hi Pounders! How are y'all doing tonight? 

Destinee wears underwear! That's a plus! 

My eating habit tonight was tacos! Delicious! 

Love her nails. 

[Guest]

Oh, man. That mother. Looked like she was binge-eating drugs most of her life.

[Pepper Mostly]

Check out Momma's swanky CZ necklace. Oof.

[aliya]

I didn't catch where she is from - the mother sounds like she has a Louisiana accent, which I really like.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Mom has summer teeth.  Some are this way, some are that way .

I'll be appearing here all week.  Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Is the weather still brutal????

Tonight is a good night to watch this with today being the start of Lent.  I went to a hospital office today and they had a scale in the bathroom.  Lordy, Lordy.  I decided to give up junk food and sweets (which I often do for Lent).  And I figured since I'm going that far, I might as well just get rid of the carbs, too.  Carbs is not part of the Lent thing cuz there's no way I can give them up entirely, but the rest I won't cheat on if I'm doing it in the name of the Lord.  The show is going to be a good re-enforcer.

Chay was transitioning through her update show and it took her awhile to talk about it even though everyone knew. This is the first person on the initial episode to come right out and already be living as a different gender.

[sainte-chapelle]

Oofff mmma went to jail.

She is from Louisiana. I remember those accents. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Aww, I can’t imagine being split apart from your siblings like that 😞

Here's another Pablo pic to get us going. Sometimes his eyes were bigger than his stomach (not a problem for the folks on this show, I guess). He weighed 1/100th of the average poundicipant. And now I want to see a Chihuahua version called My 6 Pound Life (where we follow perfectly healthy-weight pups doing adorable pup things, like eating biscuits bigger than their leg).

Adorable! My chihuahua wants to be in the show, but he’s closer to 8 lbs. he promises no shower scene and asks for no judgment 😊

[Splashes]

The sound and mouth movements dont line up and its botheeing me

[hoosiermom]

darn it! Tuned in late again. And I have no excuse except old age. Anything important?

Splitting hairs.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

So your piece of shit dad who said you weren’t even his kid and who walked out on you and your siblings when you were a child died and you were devastated by that.  Honey, he should have been dead to you long before that.

Hell yeah!!!!!  

[sainte-chapelle]

Her sister is a big gal too

[OoogleEyes]

Wow, she had a really tough life

Wait, I missed it. Do I really want to know?

It looked like she was cooking it in a pan full of grease.  It definitely wasn't lying flat in a skillet.

My work's cafeteria had a Mardi Gras theme on Tuesday (shrimp po'boys at the grill, a New Orleans muffaletta at the sandwich station, and chicken gumbo for soup). Today's entree was fish, and will be fish on Fridays for the rest of Lent, I'm sure.

I don't do Lent but I could stand to give up a few things...

Thats... kinda a strange transition story...

[poeticlicensed]

So she hasn't transitioned with surgery and hormone treatments?

Remember Chay (later Lola)? She deep-fat-fried the bacon too. I think it's a southern thing.

No. No it is not.

[ShortyMac]

Her brother died. OMG, this poor woman.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Oh her brother was so handsome!

[hoosiermom]

How sad.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, no. that is tragic about her poor brother.

I know. What a hard life. Yikes.

[Guest]

OK, show...I'm ready to stop watching the depressing part!

Poor Destinee!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Far be it for me as a cis woman to criticize a person’s reasons or realization for/to transition, but that is a strange reason to transition from male to female. 

[QuinnInND]

Geez. She really has had a hard life. I feel sorry for her. Her brother died in her arms? I can't imagine. It's going to be hard to snark. 

[AVM]

This one not going to be pretty !  Destinee A helpless whiner from the start.

[sainte-chapelle]

I like the fresh manicure nails.

[DC Gal in VA]

Hellooooooo fellow Pounders! My eating habit tonight is a vodka martini, hee hee hee.😆

Wow so many checks in the first few minutes:

• Obligatory shower scene, check ✔ 
• Really awful, insecure home life/backstory check ✔ 
• Struggling single mom, absentee asshole dad check ✔
• Death of a loved  (her brother) ✔ check
• Probably a check or two I missed

[88Keys]

I'm feeling legitimately sorry for her.  What an awful life.

And damn- her brother was so handsome.

Honestly, she’s kinda lucky she has the side effects of feminization from the obesity. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

She's from Pineville, LA, and the half sister's name is Nona?  Did I get the sister's name right?  So the mother had three kids in foster care, and after her 2 or 3 years in prison instead of trying to get custody of her current children, she remarried, and had more kids?   

150 by 9, 229 by 12.    The father was such a jerk.   How sad to have the brother die in her arms.    There is nothing that Desiree or anyone else could have done to stop that blood clot.

Indeed he was quite fine.

Looking at her fat distribution she is very likely on hormones.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

The carpet in that bedroom looks disgusting.

And her mom looks like she’s been rode hard and put away wet.

I simply meant that the minute she started talking I said to myself, “I think she’s a male or was a male” whereas with Chay he WAS a male on his first episode, feminine looking for sure, but we watched as he went through the mental transitioning before the actual physical act in her update episode, while also losing weight. Frankly it was the only thing remotely interesting about her.
