 Sure, these swingers may seem "happy" now. But, just how "happy" will they be once they've contracted an STD from all their "swinging"? A possibility I'll bet has never occurred to that pseudo "therapist" Robyn.  By attempting to "debate" Dr Phil, she made a colossal fool of herself.

In my opinion, unless you're hungry for the snacks, there's probably no harm in not eating them. Many nutritionists recommend eating five or six times a day, three small meals and two or three snacks, to keep blood sugar at a steady level and prevent hunger that could lead to cravings and binging. You do need at least 1200 calories a day to keep your body and brain functioing properly and your metabolism from slowing down, no matter how many times you eat. If you can get your 1200 calories from three regular meals, the snacks probably aren't necessary. Or, you could eat a little less for your meals so you'll be hungry for a snack or two. Just do whatever works best for you.

 it seems like she's invested so much of herself in her two sons that she hasn't developed any hobbies to fill her time now that the youngest has left for college. I've seen this happen to so many people. Those whose children have become their whole lives don't know what to do with their time once that last child has left home. And, I've seen the same thing happen to those whose job became their whole life. Once retired, they're miserable because they've never developed a hobby to pass the time. 

 You may not need to lose another 35 pounds. A pound of muscle takes up much less space than a pound of fat. Meaning you could actually gain weight from building muscle, yet look slimmer. It once happened to me. I was doing a lot of heavy lifting, setting up fixtures at a new Wal Mart. After a week of this, my mother asked me how much weight I'd lost. So, I weighed. I hadn't lost a pound. Then, she suggested I try on some clothes that, the week before, had been too tight. So, I tried them on. And, they were loose! I'd slimmed down without losing any weight.

 Lori doesn't approach the young men, they approach her? Well, duh. She dresses provocatively and goes into "target rich" environments, places where horny young men gather, looking for a one night stand. And, it's obvious the them she's looking for the same thing. Of course, they're going to approach her, wrinkled neck and all. After all, when the lights are off...

It isn't the wearing of the red dress. It's the motive behind the wearing if it. And, Lori stated her motive. She'd gone to the wedding wearing the red dress in hopes of finding her next one night stand.

 Lori's boyfriend? She doesn't have one. She's too busy going to bars and having one night stands to  have a boyfriend. Surely you don't think the young man sitting next to her is her boyfriend! That's her son. And, he's quite disgusted with her extreme sexual promiscuity.

Steve admitted having his next drink the very same day he came home from rehab. Where did he find the bottle? At home? Did Sheila place it there just to set him up? Or, just leave it where he'd left it?  Intead of searching the house and throwing out every bottle she found? So he wouldn't be tempted? After all, she admitted to Dr Phil that one of her fears was that he'd quit drinking, leave her, and find someone else.

 When I saw that segment, I thought, well duh, Jackie, has it never occurred to you, if you want your daughter to lose weight, maybe you ought to as well. You set her a lousy example, gorging yourself to 300 pounds. You taught her lousy eating habits. So, how about setting some good ones, for a change? Why, oh why, do Jackie, and so many othes like her, wonder why their children, too, are fat? When they're just following the examples set for them?
And, I've been to many all you can eat bars. And, seen the same things you've seen. Morbidly obese people making repeated trips to the bar, making a bee line for the most fattening  items on the bar. And, what do they select at the salad bar? Mounds of mayonnaise based prepared salads. Usually pasta, pototo, and tuna saleds. Then, smothering them with ranch dressing. I can see someone pick up a plate and pretty well predict what they'll be  piling on that plate.

 Because I lost  50 pounds, thanks to following Dr phil's weight loss advice, my boobs went from 36DD to 34B. They may sag a little, when I'm not wearing a bra, but that's pretty normal for my age, 53. And, it's certainly made swimsuit shopping easier. Even though I could wear a medium bottom, an extra large top looked almost obscene on me. But, now  a mdium top covers me quite decently. No way I'd get implants and have trouble swimsuit shopping again!
