Erica's sister Molly is a BITCH

Erica's sister was absolutely disgusting. Why did she even participate in this documentary when she had nothing positive to contribute to her sister's situation?

No, addictions start with choices, but they don't stay that way. He's never said that to another patient, so what gives?

Both her brother and sister were complete A**Holes, but at the same time, she doesn't need their support to make changes.

There's a difference between having your own life, and refusing to enable someone, and being completely insufferable. Her intentions were right, and I agree that Erica expected too much from her, but the way she went about it just made her look ridiculously immature.

Syn - Im so glad you said what you did so I didn't have to type it, haha. I really don't know what Erica expects! She doesn't want to change her eating habits at all and says she'll just order more junk food! The only thing I can think of is, she thinks the surgery will take away her appetite and she'll never crave food again? How is it that nobody has explained that's NOT the way it works? I'm only half way through the show now too but I wanted to chime in and I wonder if I'm missing something cuz Erica is making no sense to me. I don't blame Molly for feeling the way she does! She's seen this behavior and poor attitude for over 40 years and she's probably beyond fed up, as is everybody else who knows her! Erica made the trip to Houston and had the "just fix me" attitude while there! She really acts like she honestly thinks this isn't going to take any effort on her part! Can she really be that stupid and actually think that?

Thanks for listening and have a good night! I'll keep watching cuz so far I think I'm really missing something, haha. ?

At first I thought the sister had a reason for being such an a-hole, but even if she did, you don't treat people like that. I was hoping for Erica to lose a lot of weight so she could run after her, beat her ass and then tell her to go "f" herself.

Exactly. While I understand why the sister is angry and resentful (Erica continuing to do this to herself all these years, Molly uprooting her and her husband for a little while to help her sister, as well as of course the attitude of "You should have done this already, not 30 years later"), but just the pure disrespect was unbelievable. I was SHOCKED at the way the brother-in-law talked to Erica. I would have ripped my BIL a new one if he talked to be like that. It's one thing to be angry but it's another to be just a sour, negative horrible, gross person.

I did like Erica's niece though. I felt she was the only positive person in her life who actually gave a damn. The fact she was the only one out of the whole family to go shopping for her speaks wonders.

I don't understand how Molly can be so mean about Erica's weight, but then doesn't want to drive her to see the doctor. How did she think Erica was going to get there?

Exactly, and even though she's morbidly obese, Erica is a pretty woman while her sister has zilch, nada, nothing in the looks department. I try not to say mean things about a person's appearance, but that sister is so ugly on the inside, that I don't have a problem saying she is ugly on the outside as well.

There is a rather large difference between being "obese" in the category of the sister Molly, and someone weighing over 600 pounds, though. I do agree that I cringe when I see them eating in front of the 600 pound person, but I can't help but wonder if those are set-up scenes by the producers of the show.

Molly is clearly overweight, and depending on her height, she may be considered obese. Yet, she behaves as if she doesn't have any eating issues herself. I bet the same foods she was confiscating from Erica, would be found in her home.

Does that justify the unabashed disdain? I seem to recall something along the lines of,"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." (And, I'm areligious.)
