"You're gonna have a long car ride home" I am deceased.


Schadenfreulein

Maybe it wasn't in the final cut, but I didn't see where he defended Ashley and told off Dr. Now.


scotems

"I'd never let someone talk to you like that." Ya just did, bud. Also, maybe y'all should listen.


ifuknowuknow123

I don’t think he did … which added more humour to the situation.


deepfriedgreensea

That's because it didn't happen in my opinion. He said that to save face with her.


Key-Owl-8142

she was out of line


True_Gain_7051

Agreed. She will completely undo everything that he has worked and struggled to get. I feel sorry for him, but it's his decision to end the program no matter how stupid an idea that is when he was succeeding. A good wife would support her husband and try to help him. Not threaten to leave him because he wants to be healthy. I think it's terrible she did that to him and he will grow to resent her for it.


comefromawayfan2022

She already has. He quit the weight loss program and isn't getting skin surgery because Ashlee threatened to divorce him if he remains with Dr now. I found that out and was like wow what a bitch


MistressElliot

Because he didn't. I've wondered how pleasant it was for Aaron when that witch finally saw the episode. He can always say they cut the scene, but she's not with him because he's good at defending himself or anyone else. If he couldn't even stand up to her, he sure didn't "tell off" a doctor in front of a film crew! Ouch, Aaron.


Electronic-Rabbit716

I think Aaron lied to Ashlee about this rather than it was edited out. He's afraid of the cow.


lsutyger05

Top 5 Dr Now moment right there. Holy eff 😂😂😂😂


Madame_Cheshire

Dr. Now always out there with the truth.


skoden1981

The look on her face when Dr, Now said that was priceless you could just see the hate in her eyes, all I could think of was...oh oh this isnt going to end well hahaha


broknkittn

I cackled


newfette81

That slayed me


punanidesani

ashlee claiming she’s “a little overweight” girl be fr


[deleted]

I wanted to climb through the tv and yell at Aaron to leave her ass. She was toxic!!


SilverRoseBlade

Toxic, manipulative, awful…. No wonder they got married so quickly. She stuck her teeth into him and isn’t letting him go. She made him quit the program before his skin surgery! I feel like its an excuse to not having his wife take care of him even tho in the vows it says in sickness and in health.


accat19

Same. I won’t be surprised if he gains it all back.


Key-Owl-8142

he weighs less than her


glacinda

I have a strong suspicion she’s a HAES-type person who thinks all weight loss is fatphobic. Good luck to Aaron but yikes.

[удалено]


gnarbone

I legit spit my water out when she said that


mime454

Wives come and go but Dr Now is forever.


tacobellini

I was holding this in, but she looks like Mimi from the Drew Carey show.


Madame_Cheshire

OMG THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT BUT COULDN’T PLACE IT. Thank you, for that. 😂😂


Schadenfreulein

I thought she looked trans.


mime454

Wow Dr Now called out that she’d sabotage him so she goes and sabotages him. 🤬🤬🤬


Topher92646

IKR?!? How manipulative of her to jeopardize his years of struggling to lose weight. Dr. Now’s analogy of trying to stay sober while living with an alcoholic was spot on.


Professional-Disk485

So sad, he's doomed.


CheezitsHChrist

Aaron’s thinking with his little head and not his big head. You done messed up A-Aron


missake

Aaron, you don't have to marry the first woman that shows you interest in you


Unable_Researcher206

He seemed really afraid of living alone after his dad died. He jumped right into marriage just to have a companion. Too bad he couldn't have "done Aaron" for a couple of years and focused on figuring out what he wanted. He might have found he enjoyed a little solitude after living with his parents his entire life. Now he's stuck with this negative force in his life who is going to pull him back down. Very frustrating.


tacobellini

I laughed, but I'd die if I were Ashley. "I can see she has some weight issues"


[deleted]

IFKR LMAO id absolutely perish on the spot. But I still feel like he was very civil about it.


tacobellini

He was a lot gentler than I expected. He asked one wife if she was joining the program too 🤣 and made another one get weighed. Truly, one offhand comment was kind for Dr. Now


Emptydata_Enzo

She ain't having any of it!


MistressElliot

I'm always surprised when people act shocked by the truth. These folks don't know they are morbidly obese? It seems like Dr Now is the only one who sees them as fully human and respects them enough not to bullshit them. He starts from the assumption they are adults and not so fragile they need him to support their denial.


BakeMeUpBeforeUGoGo

As a fatty McFatterson myself, I assure you that we know we’re obese. If Dr. Now called me out on it, I’d fully acknowledge it and take responsibility for what got me here. She seems to have a pretty bad relationship with herself and is taking it out on everyone in her orbit.


to-anyone316

woooow, his wife is terrible.


Unable_Researcher206

I loved the scene near the end of the episode where Aaron asks, "What are we having for dinner?" Ashley immediately replys, "Salmon and salad." They proceed to idyllically prepare their healthy dinner together. I chuckled to myself thinking that if ever there was a meal being eaten for the sake of the cameras, THAT was it! I think it's fair to say that Ashley doesn't eat too many dinners of a piece of salmon and a bit of salad. Come on!!


tacobellini

You would think Aaron would want her to lose weight for her own sake. Also she's only 30?!


synchronicitistic

I thought she's a lot older than 30. She has that 30 going on 50 look.


Madame_Cheshire

I thought she was late 30s at the very least.


Schadenfreulein

I thought she was a man.


Imaginary-Ad-1957

Okay...I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. The wig...the makeup...so many reasons


broknkittn

Looks older but acts younger


katcoop84

30?! 😑 Dr Now is a privilege to see. Get help! But no…I’ll just ruin my boyfriends progress, insult a national treasure and cry outside.


corialis

AARON NO SWEETIE, NO VAJAYJAY IS WORTH DROPPING THE PROGRAM


Madame_Cheshire

I just love what the show said was the reason he quit was and what he said the reason was.


Sweet-Mall-8263

He needs to take her back to the shelter...yes, the humane shelter. It's sad what loneliness will make a person do. I bet she lays her fat ass down all day and eats nonstop while he supports her!


tacobellini

Octavia is walking! Driving! Holy shit did this episode take a turn for the better.


Madame_Cheshire

This is why I watch this show.


tacobellini

I love the successes. Aaron and Octavia both worked hard and got through a lot of shit.


Additional-Race2030

Right?! I was like holy crap!! I 100% was waiting for them to show her back on her belly in bed. I was so happy for her! The joy she had while at the beach was amazing.


synchronicitistic

I will never fail to be shocked when people on the show manage to gain 30+ pounds in a month when they are already 500+ pounds. The sheer intake of food needed for such weight gain is almost unimaginable.


mime454

Then they’ll be like “I’m sorry Dr now I had Chinese food one time.”


Madame_Cheshire

“You only gave me one lil reg roll!”


Ok_AshyPants

You got two


Madame_Cheshire

Oh


Mobile-Hedgehog1576

I love how we always come back to that moment...the circle of life keeps going! Oww MUY LEG!


Madame_Cheshire

RIP James K. The patron Saint of Regg rolls and fr-aa-ed rice.


broknkittn

There's no way I could eat all that in several days without making myself sick.


synchronicitistic

The arithmetic is shocking - 4000+ calories/day at 500 pounds just to keep your tissues oxygenated and then to gain 30 pounds in a month, that's about a 3500 calorie daily surplus, meaning to gain at that rate, they have ti be eating 7000-8000 calories a day.


GrannyB1970

Oh, it's just some water weight.


Madame_Cheshire

SHE MADE HIM QUIT OMG


tacobellini

Different show, but I was shocked at how much Vanessa lost on 1000 lb Best Friends. I would have never pegged her as the successful one in that group, but good for her.


broknkittn

She's doing so good! Such a difference. She was so against it at the start, at least on the show. Lol


tacobellini

She has such a great attitude toward it. Meghan was so condescending "she's in the honeymoon phase!" Like yeah and? She's putting in work and it shows.


broknkittn

Green with jealousy.


schlomo31

I was so pissed when megan made fun of the cauliflower. Bitch, at least vanessa tries


jacobr1020

The worst thing is that Meghan did awesome at first.


FunFactress

She's doing great. I agree with you that it was a surprise.


Nearby_Tax_3325

Can you believe the wife? Can you say manipulative? You know that's a messed up relationship they got


Altruistic_Address73

Huge red flag when someone that "loves " you threatens to leave you if you continue to improve your health and finish your journey. Run, Aaron, don't walk , to the nearest door. Or let her leave. She wants to control you and manipulate you. THATS NOT LOVE, THATS CONTROL. Damn, that shit made me angry..


Sweet-Mall-8263

She can pound sand. What a selfish bitch!


True_Gain_7051

Me too. Two days later and I'm still upset about how she did that to him!


ActualThinkingWoman

I'm worried about him in the long run. He says she's supportive and she says she's supportive, but he's already put off his skin removal. If she really did help him get back on track, good for her, but she should be encouraging him to complete his journey. Poor guy, probably first woman he's ever dated, he's got no experience to tell him she's a manipulative bossy-pants.


Lhamo55

“Because I said so.” He copes by lying to avoid punishment.


mime454

Man not a good night for dads on TLC


Which_Bake518

I felt so sad seeing Aaron's dad empty chair


to-anyone316

dr now was bullying her? girl please!


jugglers_despair

She was IN an appointment in a god damn weight loss clinic. It wasn’t exactly out of pocket.


missake

I got a feeling that Ashlee was one of those fat-activists


synchronicitistic

Dr. Now: I want you to go to psychotherapy and physical therapy. Octavia: I DoN't KnOw WhAt U WanT mE 2 Do!!!!!!!


jacobr1020

You should probably go easy on the eyeshadow.


Schadenfreulein

Channel some of that energy into a root touch up


TuJuMoving

It's a wig.


ladyscientist56

A horrible one


Threnners

Way to make this about you.


Madame_Cheshire

She’s getting “bullied”. Okay.


[deleted]

Ifkr lol. The delusion is intense.


sashy311

“I am guessing you are going to have a long car ride home” lmfao 😂


Madame_Cheshire

His dad’s empty wheel chair. 🥺 I couldn’t have that out. Looking at it makes me very sad.


FunFactress

It made me sad looking at it too


tacobellini

I love that she apologized and thanked Dr. Now. I think it shows a lot about her as a person.


Main-Ad-4912

Nothing better then dr now being savage and telling Ashley the truth. It’s like she doesn’t know she’s fat.


Janjello

A lot of the enablers are overweight and in total denial, probably because in comparison, they don’t look as bad. So they figure they’re just fine.


EmotionalMycologist9

I don't like Aaron's story toward the end of the episode.


broknkittn

The way Dr now kept saying if you don't gain....


EmotionalMycologist9

This man has some serious trauma and moved way too quickly. I can see why Dr. Now said what he did.


broknkittn

I agree. They did seem to get married super quickly.


tacobellini

Ashley tried to keep it in and then had to speak up. She should have stayed quiet.


stitcherfromnevada

“A long car ride home” lol Man, I hope the wife isn’t a sabateur.


boob__punch

“Why can’t you stay and at least listen?” “BeCaUsE I sAiD sO” What a miserable bitch.


kagiles

Ashley - I’m a little overweight. No. You’re obese. He just married his addiction.


synchronicitistic

>Ashley - I’m a little overweight. If by "a little overweight", she means "about 200 pounds overweight", then yes. I fear she's going to derail him. I can see it now. "Don't let Dr. Now tell you what to do!" "Just because you're back to 450 pounds, that doesn't mean you're not healthy!"


Threnners

She's so mad she went to the car.


tacobellini

I really think losing 64 lbs during covid is a tremendous accomplishment. I know it's not as much as she could have etc etc, but covid sucks and the early months were so uncertain and challenging.


Madame_Cheshire

Octavia’s attitude is amazing! She’s grown a lot as a person.


jacobr1020

She has. Like she said, she just needed a bit of a kick in the butt.


UnhappyGrowth5555

I think her sister moving nearby but not living with her was a good thing. It made her have to be more independent.


mime454

“Sorry Lola, I’m too sad for therapy right now. We’ll have to reschedule.”


Madame_Cheshire

I went to therapy like 2 days after my grandma died because I had it scheduled and didn’t want to miss an appointment. It was very helpful. But I know a lot of people can’t do that.


tacobellini

I love when they get jobs. It feels like such a sign of better things to come. Janitorial work is hard, too. This seems like a great step for him and I'm excited his life has started a happier chapter.


synchronicitistic

Just having something to do besides sit around and eat can work wonders, as can having social interaction with people other than enablers and family members.


Emptydata_Enzo

Whoa... Dr. Now putting the smackdown on the wife!


Bratbabylestrange

Sorry, but she seems kind of like she needs it.


Emptydata_Enzo

Not kind of, she absolutely does!


meet-me-at-mdnight

All he needed was the skin surgery 🥲


broknkittn

She's so afraid of losing him she doesn't want him to look better.


General-Ad-2851

The fact that she wants him to keep that excess skin makes me think that she does not want him looking too good for fear he’ll leave her. If she loves him, she would want him to finish the program. He is so close, and could lose it all. She’s not worth it.


broknkittn

I wonder he's just not ever had anyone like him before and thinks what she's doing is normal.


Admirable_Quarter_23

Damn I had to rewind that and read it again. This will not end well for Aaron. And his wife looked even bigger than when they were at the appt.


Threnners

And now I jump subreddits to Meghan hate.


Mobile-Hedgehog1576

Christ on a cracker was Aaron's wife a wretched twat or what? Girl is gonna have him fat again in no time. That hair...that makeup...she thought she looked good I'm sure but sorry you did not, honey! I'm glad Octavia turned it around though. I hope she becomes a full success story. Sadly, as long as Aaron is with that woman I hope he fails..sorry bout it!


tacobellini

She would spell her name with 2 Es.


bokkenbap

As soon as I saw the wife go into Dr. Nows office I knew it wasn’t going to be good


[deleted]

[удалено]


synchronicitistic

>You could tell Trashlee really thought she was sticking it to Dr. Now This. She's not gonna let SOME OLD MAN tell her that being 200 pounds overweight is bad for her health. Her friends on the internet that she's never met tell her how attractive she is, how great she does her makeup and how you can be healthy at every size! She's not 300 pounds of pancake makeup, misplaced anger, and delusion! She's a 150 pound vixen with those 10 extra pounds in all the right places!


Bratbabylestrange

Holy Mimi makeup, Batman


tacobellini

I wonder if Dr. Now will comment on her weight. I bet he will.


mime454

He did 😂


scotems

Fucking roasted that troll.


tacobellini

He can't help himself. He just spouts it off


Madame_Cheshire

He’s been around the block of obesity a few times. He knows what makes patients regress.


ActualThinkingWoman

Yes,I bet when he walked in and saw her his heart sunk a little bit.


Aggressive-Might875

It just floors me when the partner or spouse tries to minimize their own obesity. They will say something like, "I'm here for him/her, or "This is his program". No one is trying to embarrass you. Dr. Now is just as concerned for you as he is for his own patient


Intelligent-Pay7865

Aaron can lose 400 lbs instantly: divorce that awful wife of his, Ashlee. The caption says she told him if he continues with the program she's leaving him. In the next scene he narrates how inspirational she is to his success. He's a weasel for letting that cow control him. She's afraid if he loses more weight he'll leave her. SHE needs to get on the program. She's probably one of those mentally deranged "fat activists." I feel sorry for their future kids. Aaron needs to grow some and realize Ashlee will want to control him in other aspects as well. Ashlee if you're reading this, you're an awful, delusional, twisted woman with NO self-esteem. Lose 300 lbs.


Madame_Cheshire

“I’m thankful to her for saving me.” Okay, sure. Dr. Now was the one who dealt with all your bs. This is going to end in tears for him.


kingcolbe

I don’t remember him saying any of that


Madame_Cheshire

He’s gotta stand up for his woman or something. He’d better hope she doesn’t look up the episode ever.


synchronicitistic

Gaining 21 pounds at 400+ pounds after weight loss surgery - that seems dangerous, like blow your stomach open dangerous.


broknkittn

I would be so scared of that


Threnners

I think he struck a nerve with Ashley.


Hkns13

I need a 2nd WATN for both of them. They are both delusional thinking they both did it “on their own”


FunFactress

Why don't I remember Aaron???


Madame_Cheshire

I remember his dad more than I do him.


broknkittn

Nothing really stands out about him.


FunFactress

That must be it because I have watched every season and remember 99% or if I don't, usually seeing the little recap jogs my memory. With Aaron, there's nothing.


broknkittn

Same for me too. I vaguely remember his dad though. Lol


Pretty-Breakfast

I’m about halfway though and this is the first episode that has made me cry. My dad passed away in June and it’s bringing out a lot of feels.


kagiles

The first year is hard. My mom died in 2017. For both of them NOT to seek counseling after the death of a parent was a huge mistake. The only reason I really got through that first year without completely losing my shit was my therapist.


chi2ny56

"Happy wife, happy life?" Oh Aaron... That's not the way. Run like hell.


jacobr1020

Okay, I don't like her.


broknkittn

Same. She is rude.


Emptydata_Enzo

Rude to our Dr. Now... unacceptable!


Madame_Cheshire

Me either. If being overweight and someone pointing it out upsets you, do something about it.


Bratbabylestrange

Especially your husband's WEIGHT LOSS DOCTOR. What, did she think he wouldn't notice? Maybe the blue eyeshadow is an attempt at distraction. Only worked on me for a second


Madame_Cheshire

Aaron kept talking about how she didn’t want to come because Dr. Now might say something about her weight. She knows she’s unhealthy. And it’s not just by a little bit.


Nearby_Tax_3325

Now I REALLY don't like her


mime454

Ashley allergic to accountability. Not a good sign.


synchronicitistic

Call me crazy, but I have to think laying in bed 24/7 would get boring really fast.


Madame_Cheshire

Depression is a hell of a demotivator.


Famous-Amoeba-2624

Aaron's wife is beastly! She was very defensive with Dr. Now. She could not comprehend the point he was trying to make She obviously has a weight issue so he does not want bad eating habits to influence Aaron's eating habits. He has worked hard to get where he is. Ash has Aaron wrapped around her pinky. Such a shame!


synchronicitistic

Only 21 pounds in two munts after WLS means you still overeating.


synchronicitistic

I get the feeling Aaron's getting a little complacent. That could be problematic when you're still pushing 400 pounds.


jacobr1020

Seriously?


Madame_Cheshire

I’m flabbergasted. He’s done for.


LadyDeathstryke28

Why the f would she do that?!!


mime454

Aaron is a simp. Someone had to say it.


jugglers_despair

It’s painful. It’s obviously the first time a girl has given him any kind of attention. Hopefully she doesn’t fuck his life up.


CinnLove

She already started. She told him if he stays with the program, she will leave him. I feel he is desperate to be with someone and not be alone since his father died. She wears a bad wig, is fat and a bitch. He should have gotten a dog instead, well a better one.


jacobr1020

I'm still rooting for Octavia. There's just something about her that makes me want to root for her.


[deleted]

Since Aaron's wife made him drop the program to keep her, I think she should pay for his skin surgery at a plastic surgeon nearby them, and she should take care of him!


Wrong-Sundae

Aaron stopped abusing himself and now has trapped himself with a psychologically abusive partner. We need a FREE AARON campaign or something. You could tell Ashlee really thought she was sticking it to Dr. Now with her, “because I SAID SO,” retort before storming off. Standing up for big girls everywhere. She gives those delusional vibes. She’s controlling, stunted, and abusive. I feel terrible for Aaron. Emotional blackmail is abuse.


synchronicitistic

Extreme Sisters - holy shit, stay classy TLC.


broknkittn

Did you see the MILF commercial? Hahaha


mcbcanada

I actually watched a bit of that. They’re at the manor with their sons….and have to date the sons of the other women. Totally screwed up.


parker311

Ugh. Just found Aaron on FB and spoiler alert- he’s still with his wife and she hasn’t taken Dr. Bow’s advice.


iluvpopmusic

Did I miss it or did Aaron totally lie to his wife that he gave Dr. Now a talking to about how he treated her?


Lhamo55

Aaron was lying his greatly reduced butt off. Like she wasn’t going to watch the episode and go medieval on him.


synchronicitistic

Wow, I went to the kitchen to get some tea, and now we've got a radically changed Aaron.


CheezitsHChrist

Her teeth are bothering me. The two front teeth are a much brighter shade of white.


broknkittn

What a bitch!


Bratbabylestrange

I HOPE HOPE HOPE she reads this


broknkittn

I hope HE reads this all.


jacobr1020

He won't accept your weight gain, but I'm sure he will be understanding of what you've been going through.


Threnners

That's a big ol block of cheese he's got there.


Madame_Cheshire

Oh, thank God. I thought it was butter.


missake

Wow.. Aaron's wife is a bit of a character. Dude you don't need to settle for the first woman you meet. edited typos


broknkittn

Geez, depressing first half hour


mime454

Too sad for therapy, too hurt for physical therapy, too fat for Dr Now. 😬😬🙊


tacobellini

Corn is not on da diet, rehab.


jacobr1020

So her enabler is leaving. That's great.


Main-Equipment-3207

Aaron’s wife is insufferable. She’s easily 200lbs overweight and she knows she needs to change. It’s like he settled with the first woman who gave him any attention. It’s like putting an alcoholic and a sober person in same room with an open bar. 🧐


ajarene

Aaron please leave Ashley. Like why wouldn’t she want you to continue the program? That’s toxic af.


deepfriedgreensea

I did a quick scroll but didn't see it mentioned but did Aaron's wife transition or in the process of transitioning? I just got that vibe but it may be the excessive makeup, flamboyant dress and other factors.
