I've seen it once before. Very sad. It's probably wrong of me but I can't help but feel angry towards the enablers that let situations like this escalate to out of control proportions. Most of the people we see on TV are bed-ridden so they certainly aren't cooking for themselves or making their own Micky D's runs. Someone has to have allowed this to continue if they cannot care for themselves and has to know they are helping kill their loved one.

I've no one to blame but myself of course because I am mobile, but dang, I don't know. I just don't think I could help someone stay that way.

Also Ruby on the Style Channel. Even though it is on a fluf channel it is very interesting to watch.

Did you see the one on last nght.... "Half ton mom"? It was very good, but soooo depressing. I kept waiting to see how the woman (Rene) lppked posy op. She had a bypass, and I kept waiting to see how she looked after some weight loss. I couldn't believe she died. How sad. 29 years old with 2 daughters.

I saw the Renee Williams/Wilson story last night, think it was the 1/2 ton Mom. Very sad.

Yep, I was rivited to the television set as I watched all the weight loss stories on tv last night. All were heartbreaking. I am so glad I had this surgery done last week. I want to be healthy.
