Which former featured fatty are we betting dies this season? I'm still holding out for Assanti but he sadly appears to be immortal.
 
Location: Palestine, TX
Name: Nathan (and Amber)
Age: 35 (Nathan)
Weight: Unknown

Woo, a little preview of what's up this season. The amount of food is just fucking staggering and honestly it really makes me a bit nauseated. The whine factor is off the scale (haha).

OK, these two are definitely a fatty couple. Sleeping sitting in the recliner because you both can't sleep in the bed shoul be a red flag, my dude. Nathan has a GIGANTIC gunt on the right side.They have three dogs. Shower time! Oooo, his lymphedma is leaking. Rag on a stick!

Amber claims he asks her to do certain things that he asked her not to mention. I can believe that. OMG, that leg wound. Dude, you're gonna lose about 30 pounds when that leg has to be amputated.

What's for breakfast? Dozen eggs, pack of sausage, pack of bacon, roll of biscuits and some jam. JFC are you eating the entire thing by yourself? Goddamn, dude.

Here's our Tale of Woe: dad worked for a food company, so he brought shit home and they ate it. Yeesh, mom, dad, and him are fat. Looks like his older brother and sister are normal size, at least in that childhood picture. At 15, about 350 pounds. Now he's shoveling a pint of ice cream down.

Fell in love with theater. Mom was diagnosed with cancer. 450 pounds at graduated. Went into teaching, met Amber there.

And here's Amber. more food! Shelf ass, got a gunt and a subgunt going on.

Nathan got approval for weight loss surgery, but they bailed on him because he couldn't pay the copay. So, he decided he wasn't good enough and started packing on the pounds. She's saying she was disgusted because he would hoover down all the food. Look, gorl, you're obviously no slouch in the eating department. They have a son? Holy shit. Oh, SHE had two kids.

Whoa, the daughter isn't fat and she's pretty. he gives him pep talks. Time to go to the grocery store! Oh, it's a date night with Nathan and Amber. How sweet. Amber's bitching that Nathan's health isn't allowing them to do all the things they could be doing. Look, gorl, you're enabling this shit and you could stand to lose some weight, too, so let's not get crazy with blaming it all on him.

OMG, "muh mentalz, depression, ang-zi-etee". Grocery bill: just over 300 bucks. Holy shit. Two carts. Every day she's wondering if she should stay, but she stays for him. Make up your mind. Either bail on him or stand by your man, but don't be wishywashy about it.

Ad for Eternals, this one featuring Angelina Jolie and her sharp cheeks. The irony is not lost on me.
I do like this Calum Smith song that plays on the jewelry ad.
Sara Lee bread. Mmmm.

Damn, they're putting as many ads in this first break as Big Al shoves into her vids.

Month One.

Amber's working today, so theinlaws are hauling his ass to Houston to Dr Now. Pop in law is concerned about Nathan. You're a fatty too, Pops. Mom in law says Nathan is a young man with a short lifespan right now.

Nathan is a little weepy on the way because he's nervous. Of course we must stop for food. But he's ready to change his life. Famous last words, my man, we've heard that before. He's "tired and a little sore". We know. We hear that too.

Mom in law goes in with him. Time for a weighing! I'm guessing 610. Hey, 607, go me!
Dr Gnome! Hey, how y'all doin'?

Haha, Dr Gnome laying down the law: he doesn't want to hear excuses about your bullshit when you don't eat right. Wants to know why overweight Amber isn't there. He wants her there. Diet, exercises, you know - the packet.

Hallway talk with Dr Gnome! Nathan seems motivated, but we'll see. He needs to prove himself. Dr Gnome wants Nathan to lose 60 pund in two munt. Wants to run some tests.

Nathan says he's excited. We'll see how long that lasts. Whoa, Dr Gnome saying Nathan may already be on the edge of his body breaking down. Yeah, Doc, we saw that damn sore and him in the shower. It ain't pretty.

Ad break! Halfway through hour one.

Three weeks since the visit with Dr Gnome. At least Nathan is up and around, walking. Amber's walking, too. Car drives by. Can you imagine, driving past two fatties on the road, bringing three dogs with them? Amber's hurting too, so when does she start eating right? Time to walk back! She's breathing hard.

Time to cook. But that looks like a pan of macaroni and I know for damn sure that is not on your list. He's fucking it up by "staying under the calorie limit" but eating what he wants, and as we know, that is NOT correct.

Place is a pigsty.

Month three

They're heading back to Dr Now. Amber is driving this time, and Dr Now is gonna have Words for her, I'm sure. LOL, Nathan wants her to see his progress. Dude, you're fucked if you were eating like you described.

Time for a weighin: I don't think he lost anything and is still at 600 pounds. Annnd ad break!
What is it with these mattress companies?
Lady Gaga is not a good actor, IMO. Her Italian accent sucks.
Xmas ads. Already.

OK, weight is: 535. I stand correct, guy. Go, you.

Dr Gnome - How y'all doin'?

Biggest change he's made: calories, no eating after 6 PM. Dr Gnome same Amber has a big problem, too. She had WLS when she was 16. Man, she's throwing Nathan under the bus. I'm not a fan of hers. She claims to have been very successful in WLS. Don't look like it, gorl!

Amber not liking what Dr Gnome is saying AT ALL. She's got that look on her face some women do when they want to tell Dr Gnome to GFY. Dr Gnome wants them both on the same plan, and he offers to do revision on her WLS if she gets her weight down.

Nathan is approved! Before the first hour is up, wow. More testing to make sure you're ok for surgery.

Hallway talk with Dr Gnome! He's concerned about Amber and her 'tude. She claims to not have thought about revision surgery, says she can look into it. She doesn't want it, man.

Amber's weight: 502 Sounds like another Amber we know. LOL

Dr Gnome: they have an unhealthy dynamic. Yup. Man, these two are shorty and fatty. Lose some weight. She keeps saying yes, sir, but she is not interested. She should lose 50 pund over next two munt. Nathan should keep losing weight.

She's not happy, dude.

And, top of the hour break! See you in a new post for hour two of this shitshow.

We're off to hour two! Will Nathan pass his medial tests? Will Amber stop being a bitch and get her eating under control? Will Nathan actually get WLS? Will Dr Happy's session in therapy with the two of them work (saw it in the preview!)? Who the hell knows. The real question is, what will they do when the stress hits? Will they get a dog and go on a walk? Hoover everything in the fridge? There has to be at least ONE scene of this stress, given Amber's attitude, since she "knows how to lose weight" just like that other Amber.

Oh, Amber came down off her 'tude and decided that she wants to do this thing. Now they're eating out. Hey, progress: Nathan said no to appetizers. Goddamn, she's the worst, asking how he thinks he's gonna feel with a smaller meal, will he feel hungry later, etc.

Month five

Uh oh. Nathan only lost 14 pounds, but Dr Gnome is going forward with the WLS anyway. And away they go. Hit the lights!

Still a high risk surgery cause he's short and fat. The biggest risk is how long he'll be under anesthesia. Whoa, Dr Gnome got himself a fucking robot. Cool. Time to pull the stomach out. Lights on! His stomach is quite large. Holy crap, they pumped it up and sutured it so Dr Gnome could hold it up and show how big it is.

Dr Gnome is worried about Amber because she already failed one WLS. But these two need therapy to get over themselves.

Ad break!
Fucking USPS ad. You suck under DeJoy, fuckers.

Nathan says he's doing ok, adjusting to the very small amount he can eat. Oh boy. He's eating mashed potatoes because he got tired of the liquid diet. Amber is just a fucking bitch. She says she sees him eating the wrong things and she wants to see him vomit it so it comes out his nose. You're not eating right, either, bitch.

LOL this dog is sitting up begging for food.

Month six

Back to see Dr Gnome. Nathan is nervous. You should be, dude.
Nathan weight: 515 - 6 pounds down
Amber weight: 505 - 3 pounds up

Nathan says it's disappointing and they have no one to blame but themselves. Yep. Dr Gnome gonna be hot with you two. At least Nathan is fessin' up to eating shit he shouldn't be. Dr Gnome says you're gonna start gaining next week unless you get your shit under control. Aha, Dr Gnome is about to go off on Amber. Good. Dr Gnome says WTF is going on in this household. None of the shit you're saying makes sense. Go see Dr Happy. LOL. Dr Gnome doesn't believe your shit,and he is SO disappointed in the two of you.Lose the weight I'm telling you to lose. Otherwise, you're wasting my time and yours.

Hallway talk with Dr Gnome! Correctly says Amber is a negative influence, and they need to get on track.

Ad break! Almost at the bottom of the hour. Woo! Will Amber get her head on straight? Will Nathan stop just accepting the bullshit she says?

Month seven

Dr Happy! Tell me about our physical relationship. They've never had sex. Wow, that bitch called him disgusting after he started gaining weight after the failed WLS ep. Also wow: she says she doesn't respect him. Damn, dude, that's harsh. He says he wants Amber to help him lose weight and speak up, and she says she's not gonna do that. Dude, you need to punt this woman to the curb. You're gonna have to find something else to bond with other than food. Good luck.

Nathan is turning into a gym rat.

Ad break! 25 minutes left!

Month eight

Back to see Dr Gnome. Nathan is alone. Amber got a new job and had to work. Show us how you did, son. Let's see...I'll say 470 - 487, close. But not what Dr Gnome wanted. He's bitching about Amber not being here. Nathan says therapy was hard, but he'll probably go on his own. 20 pund a munt you should be losing Come back in two munt. Dr Gnome doesn't believe the excuses about Amber.

Nathan is convinced Amber is doing what she should be, but I dunno..

Another ad break. 15 minutes to go!

Month ten

Oh, look, it's Amber back in Houston on this visit. Nathan is hoping "trust and faith pays off today". Faith don't do shit, boy.
Nathan weight: 450 (37 pounds down, 157 pounds total)
Amber weight: 464 ( I think)

Of course Amber had a shitty little remark about it all.

Dr Gnome: Y'all making progress. Endoscopy on Amber to check things out, see if revision is possible. If it all looks good, two months for WLS. You need to lose 20 pund, if you don't, we will cancel WLS - and don't think he won't, bitch.

Hallway talk with Dr Gnome! He's pleased with their progress, but still has doubts about Amber. Only five minutes left, doc, hurry it up.

Month eleven

EN-do-scop-ee
Amber has only lost 7 pounds. Now she really wants the surgery. Guess you should have figured that out months ago. Hey, I recognize an endoscopy/colonoscopy room when I s one! LOL (Get your colonoscopies, people.) Not looking good for Amber's revision. Only way would be a gastric bypass. Very difficult still, but they may be able to do it if she keeps up the work. Schedule that for two munt from now.

Month twelve

They're both doing well, on track. Woo! So they went on a date in Houston, to a movie in the park.

Two weeks later: (step)daughter is asking how Nathan is doing, and they're out for a walk. Aww. Nathan has decided to go back to work. Good for you, dude.

Annnnnd, we're out! Thanks for coming to my fatty talk!

See you next week, maybe.

OMG, this repeat is Jeanne. Nope nope nope.

The lowlight of this episode was definitely the 502-pound fat-fuck blob of a wife saying how Nathan "disgusted" her by gaining weight after not going through with his original weight loss surgery and that she was "embarrassed" to be seen with him.

Bitch, have you looked in a mirror in the past 20 years? That gunt alone needs its own ZIP code.
 
That Amber is a piece of work. She sanctimoniously bitched and moaned about how HARD it is taking care of him because of his weight and she doesn't know how long she'll be able to take it. Then he loses enough to be almost the same weight as her and she seems pissed off about that too.

I loved when Dr. Now told her at the beginning that when the height difference is taken into consideration her BMI was higher than his. lol
 
I feel bad for Nathan. By the admittedly low standards of this show, he comes off as a pleasant person who had the misfortune of getting a fat, pasty grub attached to him.

Wonder if he could have managed to get the surgery the first time if he didn’t have that creature shrieking in his ear.

I've always wondered about some of these family members who are huge themselves.

I missed all of season 9 so I was watching it. Issac's mother has cancer yet as the months go by she doesn't get any smaller. The sister has no shape whatsoever. She's just a mini-fridge with a head.

Shannon was repulsive. Especially with the cat eared headband and the crazy cat lady mug. Her husband is her paid caregiver. I think he's British. She met him while playing online games. I gotta wonder if he was in the US at the time or her fat ass was his ticket to America and an easy paycheck.

She had one of the most repulsive bodies I've ever seen. She also looks mildly exceptional. But this woman never had a chance. She was left at the hospital by her mother after birth and bounced around from family to family and no one wanted her. I did actually feel sympathy for her.

A lot of the people trying to get surgery have deathfat friends and family. No wonder they fail so much. Pot meet kettle. If you are gorging in the home then so is the person trying to get surgery. Nathan's wife was a gross blob and a total bitch. I think she's afraid that if Nathan loses the weight he'll leave.

Then I rewatched James K and when I saw "mah legs" I gagged. I had forgotten how bad they were. No human should look like that. I'm not surprised at all that he died. That wife was a piece of work. You could make a drinking game out of how many times James cries "mah legs!" but you'd probably die of acute alcohol poisoning.

You don't just move to America to marry a near 800 lb bedbound woman for nothing. Sounds like a really cheap ticket to me. You get a home, a paycheck and all you have to do is slop your prized hog. He's a feeder for sure.

My working theory is James K.’s wife was actively trying to kill him just to be rid of him. I don’t even think it was a “kill with love” situation. Bitch just wanted him dead. And who could blame her considering how many family members’ lives he ruined.

Seeing his daughter look so sad and near tears all the time was depressing. It's probably hard to say no to a bedbound blob who will scream non-stop until you get him more food.

I've been watching older episodes and Kirsten was really horrible. Super dysfunctional family. At first I thought that Kirsten's mom was her daughter because she looked so old.

All she did was scream and whine and verbally abuse people. When she sent her son Nieko back to Washington because he acted up for that exact purpose mom steps in and acts pretty much the same. Teasing her with food and getting frustrated over everything Kirsten does. I think anyone stuck with this blob for more than five minutes would end up blowing their top.

It did have a happy ending. Hopefully this giant womanchild has grown up and is doing better now. Having most of the contents of your abdomen herniated and having hips that quit on you can't feel very good and maybe some of it was the pain talking.

But if you've ever lived with a drug addict the experience is very similar from what I've seen on this show. The only difference is that food is legal and you have free reign to get as much as you can buy. Plus you can't live without it so you will always have the temptation right in front of you. You can never get away.

The belligerent attitude, verbal abuse, laziness, different but still severe health conditions that emerge and destroying the lives of everyone around you. It's all there. The screaming for food reminds me of the demands for money and the theatrics addicts go into when you say no.

I swear though, if I was stuck with a bedbound cetacean I'd just leave and call a hospital or something to let them know fatty was alone and needed some assistance. It's a wonder some of these people haven't been utterly abandoned yet.
 
I can't rewatch the Kirsten episode solely because she wouldn't stop fucking whining. She definitely was dysfunctional in like every single meaning of the word.

Okay. I can rewatch one part of the episode without going "fml." The part where Kirsten is so fat that the car door just bounces off of her and her mom keeps bopping it against her as if she's relieving some stress. It's one of those "omfg wtf" scenes that is just perfect for reality TV.

 
How the fuck did this landwhale get pregnant?

This one's more sad though because she was (of course) molested and claims to have thought if she ate more she'd get stronger so she could fight the molester off.
 
Is that an actual thing or just a sad story excuse? Pretty much every female landwhale on this show claims molestation is the reason they weigh as much as an adolescent moose.

Her daughter is relatively thin, and her mother is overweight but not in an abnormal way for a woman her age. IMO this implies the eating problem is more central to her, rather than the entire family being fatties.

She also specifically claimed she would be drugged by this person (babysitter's boyfriend) via drinks, which is different than a vague "I was molested" claim. I don't know what percentage of obese women on the show claim molestation, but I know that a lot of men cite their parents divorce or absent daddies being their reasons why.

Trying to make yourself seem less desirable physically to the pedophile is common for victims, which can also take the form of trying to gain weight to be ugly in that way. For Ashley ofc she said she thought if she ate more she'd be able to fight, which seems like something a child would naively believe.
 
This week's episode is spicy as fuck. Sharon is insanely based right now.
It was a pure train wreck and it was exactly what I needed. There was barely any focus on weight loss and just focused on this womans extremely poor choices that lead to a chaotic year. I knew from the start that the boyfriend was a little special and his sister was such a character I need one like her in every episode.

I was thinking for a bit, there was no way in hell they were gonna just leave her stranded cause thats fucked up.....only for them to not only abandon her but donate all of her shit too. Good for the few in this episode (Sharon and the friend) to help at first then put their foot down on this womans fat grift.
