Speaker 1: five zero zero. I appreciate you guys for listening and
Speaker 1: calling and texting when you do text. If you don't
Speaker 1: want to text your comment but want to just text it. Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to get on the air with you guys,
Speaker 1: and you have a story that relates, just text call
Speaker 1: me to us and we'll get you on the show.
Speaker 1: Shannon and her husband Wes are always wonderful with each other,
Speaker 1: except for now.
Speaker 2: Shannon has changed.
Speaker 1: She says, I am tired of always trying to help
Speaker 1: you and you're not helping yourself.
Speaker 3: I actually quit. I am submitting my official notice right now,
Speaker 3: and I know he's listening. I think he's listening. He
Speaker 3: better be listening.
Speaker 2: You quit, quit? Why are you quitting that?
Speaker 3: Well, he told me to hold him accountable when it
Speaker 3: comes to sugar, so I feel like he's a healthy
Speaker 3: guy in general.
Speaker 4: I'm using air quotes.
Speaker 3: But he has the worst suite too, And admittedly I
Speaker 3: have junk food, a lot of junk food all over
Speaker 3: the house. I am bad with it, my kids are
Speaker 3: bad with it, and I have busted him so many
Speaker 3: times with like Reese's peanut butter heart chocolate covered pretzels.
Speaker 3: I made brownies on Sunday, all the cookies. He went
Speaker 3: out to Whole Foods and bought what he calls healthy
Speaker 3: pop tarts, which there's really no such thing. And he's
Speaker 3: asked me, please hold me accountable. I really kind of
Speaker 3: want to, you know, get back on track with the
Speaker 3: way I'm eating and training and all of those things.
Speaker 3: And so when I say something to him about it,
Speaker 3: like I see him eating, you know, a missus Tate's
Speaker 3: cookie if we ever had those very popular in our house,
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, you told me to tell you know,
Speaker 3: you told me to tell you not to eat it,
Speaker 3: don't eat that. And he will come up with some
Speaker 3: excuse as to why it's okay. Well, I'm about to
Speaker 3: work out. I need the I don't know sugar, I
Speaker 3: need the It's gonna be okay. Last night, I legit
Speaker 3: chased him out of the kitchen and into the basement
Speaker 3: because I saw him grab something from like I call
Speaker 3: our treat pantry and put it in his mouth really
Speaker 3: fast and ate it. And I went downstairs. I could
Speaker 3: see he's still something with his hand. I'm like, you
Speaker 3: told me to hold you accountable, and then you make
Speaker 3: me chase you, and I go show me your hand,
Speaker 3: and before he even put out his hand, he stuffed
Speaker 3: the rest of it in his mouth and ate it.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm done.
Speaker 3: You asked me to help you, you fight me on it.
Speaker 4: That's it, no more. I don't care anymore.
Speaker 2: You guys have an interesting life.
Speaker 1: By the way, what because you guys are both skinny
Speaker 1: people and you worry about that.
Speaker 3: It's not about being skinny. It is about how he
Speaker 3: fuels his body. That's a really important thing to him,
Speaker 3: not so much to me. So he asked for somebody
Speaker 3: to hold him accountable. But then he doesn't want to
Speaker 3: do it, so I'm not doing it anymore.
Speaker 2: So he is hiding in the basement eating his food.
Speaker 4: He cheats. But he asked me to do one thing,
Speaker 4: he does completely another.
Speaker 2: How many?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: How many? How many of these cookies? Is he?
Speaker 3: I have no idea, like, well, you know how many?
Speaker 2: So you wait, so you buy a big package from Costco.
Speaker 2: Why are you buying him? Then? If he doesn't want.
Speaker 1: Want them too bad, the rest of us do. I
Speaker 1: can't have stuff like that in the house. I have
Speaker 1: to literally you know, uh say no, it's not allowed
Speaker 1: to be in the house.
Speaker 3: Well, just because one person doesn't want to eat it
Speaker 3: doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm still buying. But what if you got
Speaker 1: to eat the whole thing? Once you start? Is no stopping?
Speaker 2: They like, then, like a thing?
Speaker 1: Is it the ones that taste very buttery? Very But
Speaker 1: they're like yeah, okay, so quick quick question. If this
Speaker 1: were alcohol he was sneaking and he was an alcoholic,
Speaker 1: would you still be drinking your alcohol around the house
Speaker 1: and having him. No, you would not. You would probably
Speaker 1: get rid of all the alcohol and you wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Put on him.
Speaker 4: This is different and alcoholism.
Speaker 2: Right now, he needs help. He was like, oh, bes
Speaker 2: on my six hundred pound life. But this is just
Speaker 2: him trying to work, like.
Speaker 4: I don't have no people ask for help.
Speaker 1: Doesn't want my help anymore, you guy, little caesars getting
Speaker 1: six Listen, I have sympathy for them because I've been
Speaker 1: there before.
Speaker 2: You ain't never been. I've been getting fifty eighty.
Speaker 1: I was, I was, Yeah, but real quick, I want
Speaker 1: to go to the hide in the food thing. It's
Speaker 1: nice to know that that people who are you know,
Speaker 1: good looking like West hide from eating from their sign
Speaker 1: from eating it. I understand because that sounds like this.
Speaker 1: I always said that's the sign of a fat man.
Speaker 1: But that is not the sign of a fat man
Speaker 1: because he ain't fat, inner fat kid and maybe maybe
Speaker 1: he got an inside West used to be fat, See
Speaker 1: he did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, having ever heard me talk about fat.
Speaker 1: I've never seen a fat picture of fat? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to see it too.
Speaker 4: Fat West with the frosted tip, Fat.
Speaker 1: West, and he frosted his tips too. He didn't try
Speaker 1: to hide being fat like you're just didn't mean. Hold on, Mary,
Speaker 1: what's going on? How you doing?
Speaker 6: I'm pretty good. I can so relate to Shannon because
Speaker 6: I'm a diabetic and I have to bring my a
Speaker 6: one C down.
Speaker 7: That is the hardest thing to do is to not
Speaker 7: go and get that special brownie.
Speaker 6: That's not a special special, but a special brownie.
Speaker 2: That cake wonderful.
Speaker 1: Yes, so you have to So do you ever, like, uh,
Speaker 1: sneak it and have to hide it from your family
Speaker 1: they ate it or do they know you ate it
Speaker 1: because you end up passing out, probably from the diabetic coma.
Speaker 7: No, I don't need that much now, But no, no,
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't. I mean, you know, everybody needs that piece
Speaker 6: of chocolate or that candy cane or something like that.
Speaker 1: And my favorite Mary is, my favorite Marry is. I've
Speaker 1: pulled the West before. Where I'm getting ready to go
Speaker 1: to bed. Chelsea's already, you know, brushing her teeth, getting ready,
Speaker 1: priority in bed, watching like you know, Real Housewives of
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. And I come walking in the room and
Speaker 1: she goes, what were you doing out there? I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I was taking care of the dogs. And she's like,
Speaker 1: the dogs are in here, what were you doing out there?
Speaker 1: And I smile and I got eminem peanuts in my
Speaker 1: in my mouth, you know, from eating them.
Speaker 2: I'll hide in the pantry and eat stuff. This is
Speaker 2: stuff like that.
Speaker 4: It is frustrated. That's when he does it too.
Speaker 3: It's so frustrating that when you ask for help and
Speaker 3: then I find him in the damn basement stuffing his
Speaker 3: face with cookies.
Speaker 1: So you saying that you quit quit from helping him?
Speaker 1: Are you what happens if Fat West comes back? Then
Speaker 1: you love tips? Would you here's a hypothetical question for you.
Speaker 1: Would you guys love each other. If you guys both
Speaker 1: let each other, let yourselves go.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be getting I wouldn't have gotten married to
Speaker 3: him if that were the case, that I would stop
Speaker 3: loving him if he, you know, gained weight.
Speaker 1: That would do you think he would love you? If
Speaker 1: you like, if you all of a sudden became fat, channing.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been fashioned?
Speaker 4: Not really? I mean I've been if.
Speaker 1: One hundred pounds, if you were one hundred pounds heavier
Speaker 1: than you are today, do you think that Wes would
Speaker 1: love you?
Speaker 2: Or would he tell you that you need to lose weight?
Speaker 3: Oh, he'd probably tell me. Yeah, he wouldn't and he
Speaker 3: wouldn't be mean about it. He would just, you know,
Speaker 3: come up with some sort of way to get me
Speaker 3: to eat healthier and go to the gym with him.
Speaker 5: He would like what if you got a haircut like
Speaker 5: you did you was a little girl.
Speaker 4: My parents hated me.
Speaker 1: Okay, Kevin, what would you do if you married if
Speaker 1: you married a girl.
Speaker 2: And she got one hundred pounds heavy?
Speaker 1: Well, you like thick girls as it is not, But
Speaker 1: if they were really difference between think and fat, like
Speaker 1: in Barbara said, it's a difference between a woman with
Speaker 1: a big ass and a big ass woman.
Speaker 2: Difference. What would you do?
Speaker 6: What would you do?
Speaker 2: Would you say something to do?
Speaker 5: You know what's interesting is like you can't always see
Speaker 5: the person gaining weight almost until it's too late. Yeah, right,
Speaker 5: Like even when you live in your life you look
Speaker 5: at me and be like, damn, when did I gain.
Speaker 3: These twenty five I would hope that most people in
Speaker 3: a loving relationship wouldn't be like your you got fat.
Speaker 4: Instead you say it in a way.
Speaker 5: Okay, no, because that's the relationship I would have with
Speaker 5: my partner. My partner now like hopefully we could have
Speaker 5: those kinds of conversations where I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, you get in the middle of the night, would
Speaker 2: you stick her with an ozempic?
Speaker 4: You would?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm like, we got bad but some this spider bitches.
Speaker 2: So what's going on, VICKI, how you doing?
Speaker 9: Oh my god, you guys are cracking me up.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 9: I had to band sugar from my house because my
Speaker 9: husband would always bring it. But he's one of those
Speaker 9: that can eat a couple of cookies or a donuts
Speaker 9: and I was the type that like, if there's a
Speaker 9: package of cookies there every time, you know, you walk
Speaker 9: into the kitchen, you walk out of the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can I tell you something? I almost you have
Speaker 2: to take it.
Speaker 7: I'd make it have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chelous, if you look at our pantry what it
Speaker 1: used to be, entry to now what it is? Because
Speaker 1: you know we're both trying to be healthy. We do
Speaker 1: not have food in our house. Our son comes home
Speaker 1: from college and he, no joke, has to like leave
Speaker 1: and go to the shell station down the street to
Speaker 1: go get stuff or he has the door to ask.
Speaker 9: My daughter stops at the grocery store on our way
Speaker 9: home for breaks and summer stuff because he ain't here.
Speaker 1: You want it's Yeah, it used to be a funhouse
Speaker 1: we had now no longer a funhouse.
Speaker 2: We got rid of all the fun mirrors. What's going on?
Speaker 8: Uh, Tiffany high I I texted in saying that my
Speaker 8: husband would tell me to lose weight, but it's not
Speaker 8: exactly the same.
Speaker 7: He wouldn't be like upset, but I have severe health issues,
Speaker 7: so he would get on me extremely fast, telling me
Speaker 7: to lose weight.
Speaker 2: How are you now?
Speaker 7: I got really sick and I lost it on the way,
Speaker 7: So now you're helped me the opposite to gain weight back.
Speaker 2: Interesting? What did you have happened to you, Tiffany, Are
Speaker 2: you okay?
Speaker 7: I wasn't able to eat anymore. My esophagus got too
Speaker 7: small and clothes, so I was on a eating tube
Speaker 7: and went from like two hundred pounds down to about
Speaker 7: one sixty in a month and a half.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Wow, are you gonna be okay?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I'm uh well, I'm on stricter medication and things now,
Speaker 7: so I'm back to being like one seventy five and
Speaker 7: I'm healthy, but I'm five eleven.
Speaker 2: So do you like your Uh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you like bigger girls like you like some fit
Speaker 7: but sigger.
Speaker 2: So wow.
Speaker 1: Well we're hoping for you. Everything'll be okay. Janet, what's up? Hey?
Speaker 6: I think West has a legit food addiction. I'm a
Speaker 6: psychologist and I worked with people that have just a
Speaker 6: bad relationship with food.
Speaker 1: Because I use food for comfort, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: that's my thing. Is is that something that West does?
Speaker 1: Is he?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Or is it just a sugar just once like sugar
Speaker 3: at the end of the night.
Speaker 6: You know, it's the hiding that is the key piece,
Speaker 6: the hiding part. You have to hide what you're doing
Speaker 6: from your partner. You have to run to the basement
Speaker 6: and hurry up and stuff it in your face so
Speaker 6: that the person doesn't catch you. So it's the secrecy part.
Speaker 6: Hiding in the pantry mojo not good.
Speaker 1: Does Shannon have anything to worry about with Wes doing
Speaker 1: this hiding in the basement thing is the next level.
Speaker 1: We have to call him to see where he's going
Speaker 1: to send a dozen free donuts.
Speaker 6: Hi.
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Bob. I'm calling from uh from donuts
Speaker 1: bloom dot com and I want to know where you'd
Speaker 1: like to send a dozen free powdered sugar donuts. No,
Speaker 1: but I will say this to you. When I stress
Speaker 1: is one thing. Stress is a big deal with me.
Speaker 1: Like if I'm unhappy, I eat. If I'm happy, I eat.
Speaker 1: If I'm not happy, I eat, I eat. Whenever I
Speaker 1: have anything like, I use it for comfort.
Speaker 6: It's a comfort for me, so exactly, and you understand
Speaker 6: exactly why you do it. I don't know if Wes
Speaker 6: knows why he's doing it. But the key piece is
Speaker 6: Shannon's not going to uh try to hold him accountable
Speaker 6: because that's his job.
Speaker 2: She quit what kind of a well?
Speaker 6: No, because that was really passive aggressive way of trying
Speaker 6: to get her to I mean, it's like a kid.
Speaker 6: Don't eat the girl Scout cookies. You're going to ruin
Speaker 6: your dinner.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 6: It's that kind of thing. She it's good that she stopped.
Speaker 6: He just needs to figure out why he needs to
Speaker 6: fight it if it's not affecting his health. I think
Speaker 6: that's the key piece.
Speaker 1: Janet's a psyched collegist on the phone with us right now.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Thank you for thank you, thank you for
Speaker 1: the call. Hair right now. You know what this, this
Speaker 1: whole conversation makes me want to do is get tats
Speaker 1: chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 2: Go get them. Where do I get them at?
Speaker 9: Where do I?
Speaker 4: I guess my Croaker, Cogar, Castco.
Speaker 2: Wherever cookies are sold, wherever
