Penny - I wanted to smack her


1000s of people would kill for the opprotunity to have that surgery. She had the surgery and insisted on laying in bed, eating junk and not moving or working with the doctor or nutirtionist. It's disgusting watching her just lay in bed, shoveling food in her face, and acting like the doctor is an idiot. Most frustrating episode ever!!!

Definitely, and her followup was JUST as frustrating. Hopefully someday soon she'll finally die and relieve her husband and son of the burden that is her fat ass. Actually Edgar ought to steal her oxygen hose away from her, we KNOW she doesn't need it, Dr. Now said she breathes better than he does, but she's got it in her head that she NEEDS it she'd probably psychosomatically asphyxiate without it.

I finally watched her episode last night and found her even more infuriating than I'd imagined. Not only did she not take the treatment seriously, not only was she completely delusional about her progress, but her behavior toward the doctor and nutritionist - everyone, really - was despicable. I truly hope though she turns it around, for her son if no one else.

I have never been more frustrated with an episode of this show. She is delusional! She wouldn't listen to anything the doctor said and didn't take it seriously, at all. Penny does not want to be helped and the things she was saying to make excuses and deflect the criticism were absurd. I literally couldn't believe some of the stuff coming out of her mouth. And her husband!! Where do I start? He is a freaking moron! Possibly the biggest enabler on the whole series, he simply wouldn't tell her no or take any responsibility. It's almost criminal really, and the way they dismissed the nutritionist and laughed it off was disgusting. She needs to be told no, bottom line. Her son will suffer because of this in the long run, but Penny and her husband are too selfish to see that. Why is it so hard for people to grow a pair and put their foot down? It's not like the patient can get up and do anything about it. He made me just as frustrated as she did, he's truly an idiot. She even refused to get up and try to move around, she refused everything. The things she was saying didn't even make sense, it seemed like she had brain damage or some sort of mental disability.

Penny is without question the worst person on this show. It grosses me out when she mixes food in her bed, which is really her toilet! She has more excuses than a dead horse has flies.

Here are some of her crazy statements

The scale is wrong!
I can clean my vagina!
I can't live without was wontons






Everyone deserves the chance to fly!

Don't forget her line "I am a more involved mother than working mothers cause I'm home...." (along those lines). Penny, you're in bed crapping and urinating on yourself.....you don't do anything for your child but be a burden.

reply

I'm honestly surprised she's not dead yet. I'm not trying to sound insensitive, but I've seen her episode at least twice now, and she is incredibly irritating, and as others have said, delusional/in complete denial.

On the other hand, she certainly inspires me to try and make better choices in my life so I don't wind up like her!

My personal favorite was her statement about rice, which she had on her plate; "Well there is not that much starch in that."
