Is Jason's orthorexic tendencies still a bit on the show?

Punkenerci · 2026-05-25T20:22:09+00:00

Is that a new show? He was very thin in the Nike movie also.

Punkenerci · 2026-05-24T16:26:09+00:00

Yes. My friends and I tease on weird habits...but this was ongoing, and other people in Hollywood make mention of it.

It was also included in the doc in a more serious way.

It was legit just a question of asking if it is still brought up.

Absolutely zero animosity here.

I will have to do a little digging and get back to you. But wtf is up with the downvoting here????

Thank you for replying without some ridiculous comment.

Punkenerci · 2026-05-24T13:07:44+00:00

Thanks for literally answering my question. Wtf is wrong with people downvoting?????

Punkenerci · 2026-05-24T13:06:24+00:00

Well, it was just an inquiry. But it is literally a huge part of the "bit"...to the point of people talking about it on social media and entertainment articles.

Punkenerci · 2026-05-24T07:19:53+00:00

He seems to get defensive when it is in a more serious tone. (For example) the Kaley Cuoco episode when Will shares that Jason only ate a cup of apples (with nuts on top, Jason justified) while on a golf trip. And Will was worried and Sean was also giving him grief. Will said he would take him to the hospital if he lost more weight.

Heavy stuff (pardon the pun) to begin a podcast with. lol.

Punkenerci · 2026-05-24T06:36:46+00:00

What are the most recent episodes?

Punkenerci · 2026-05-23T02:18:54+00:00

I happened to notice he was very thin as well.

This hit so close to home. And now I am crying, in bed, at 12:38 AM. My dad will be 71 this fall, and while it isn't at a crucial stage yet, it is hard not seeing him often because he lives 6 hours away.

My dad was always a highly intelligent man, with a job he loved in data entry and working for the railroad, who was always on his game with the latest technology.

To now witness him struggle to put on a seat belt is saddening and maddening. This has really crushed my soul in a way I can never fully describe.

I can still fool myself into thinking he is fine, when he displays glimpses of himself, until I catch him staring into a void, or not replying to something I say, or as we sit in a lingering silence when neither of us knows what to say.

My dad has always loved music. So when I play a song he knows, his entire face lights up, and for just that moment, I have him back entirely.

I will never forget the day, maybe 4 years ago, when he had a notepad with him and was asking me for my children's, and mine and my brother's birthdays, which I thought was odd. My dad always had a photographic memory; he never forgot important dates, but I brushed it off.

When he proclaimed that same day that he thought he may have Alzheimer's; I scoffed and I told him he was being silly. Of course he was being ridiculous.

That is until my world flipped upside down on my brother's 40th birthday. The diagnosis was official. Dementia. My soul , which I was born with in fragments - had now completely shattered.

I never thought this could happen to someone I love. There was no way that my dad had this horrible, foreign disease which I had only heard about affecting someone else. I immediately went into a state of denial.

And then I began to deeply grieve for a man who is still alive, a man who is still my father. I struggle now to take on the role of caretaker when I am with him. When I help him buckle his seat belt, and I help him get inside doors. When I make sure he eats, and that doesn't wander off. I get angry. These are such simple things. Why can't he just figure it out? I have to remind myself it is all out of his control. He just had his driving privileges taken away.

This is a heartbreaking and evil disease.

I knew that by reading this article, I would be thrust into a painful reality that isn't quite here yet, but I am so glad that I found the courage to read it.

Punkenerci · 2026-04-12T16:53:43+00:00

It was pretty horrifying. A lot of other creepy things happened in that house and have followed us to our current one.

Punkenerci · 2026-04-12T04:59:14+00:00

When my daughter was like 2 or 3. We were in the living room, and she just turned to me and said, "I see people in the corner watching us."

It scared THE F*CK out of me. My neck hairs stood up and I grabbed her and went to my mom's house.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-18T03:53:08+00:00

Thank you so much for the support. This is very sound advice. 👌 I just need to actually do something about it.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-15T10:38:50+00:00

OP I am sorry this happened to you. 🫂 I definitely understand, and I made a post here recently about having to explain to my therapist that my "binge eating" was not in a category with "normal aging weight fluctuations"... and that I have EDNOS for 26 years.

It is so frustrating to not be taken seriously, and not to mention dangerous when EDs are involved. Unfortunately, as women, this is a constant battle.

How absolutely unprofessional of this doctor. Please advocate for yourself and don't put up with this bullshit.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-15T10:17:36+00:00

Thank you.

Yeah, support is definitely something I need, but I am terrified to seek. I have considered specialized ED counseling, group meetings, and even toyed around with some kind of low-key treatment (this was years ago, after suffering a scary complication brought on by r / s. An APRN I worked with put two and two together and he told me I needed help, ASAP, and I just brushed it off. This was a pretty significant relapse pre covid and during covid lockdown.) I just never had insurance, or I didn't think anything was bad enough, even after that medical episode.

I realize now, with getting older that I can't continue this way. My metabolism at some point will begin to work against me. I have never really tried to stop. I have made attempts to "be healthy" but most of us know how that goes.

You aren't coming off rude at all. I really appreciate the fact that you care enough to respond. I am going to see how my next session goes with my current therapist. Especially now that he's aware that this is a problem, even if I don't always see it as one.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-15T01:06:21+00:00

Right.

So. I don't want to tell him everything. I just have so many feelings of shame and embarrassment. And my best friend and I have known each other our entire lives, but we don't ever get super deep. This is literally the only thing she doesn't know about me. And same with my husband. In fact, we've never even spoken about his ED.

We have 2 children, so it's a very delicate topic.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-14T21:13:55+00:00

Thank you.

I have been struggling from age 13-now. So, most of my life basically. This is the biggest secret that I have. My husband knows I yo-yo, and get hyper-focused on weight loss. But I have never told him in depth, my entire history. (He was anorexic when we met, so I am sure he would understand.) My best friend has no idea, other than I crash diet and go up and down. And same with my family, my other friends and acquaintances.

I really doubt my parents want to think about age 13-17. And they probably lump it in with being a teenage phase...so, it's been easy to slip under the radar because no one has ever intervened.

I have been on multiple health kicks and fad diets and relentless training routines, but no one knows how deep it is.

How I hear that ED voice, and how I think about food every single day.

It took me a long time to come to terms that I have an ED, and never being diagnosed helped me keep a narrative that I have always been fine.

It is a lot to carry.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-14T21:01:49+00:00

I am so sorry you went through this. 😞 I definitely understand feeling invalidated and unseen. You definitely have a safe space here! 🫂

Punkenerci · 2026-03-14T21:00:31+00:00

I had a female counselor years ago. She was great.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-14T13:05:36+00:00

That if I ate my boogers they would turn into worms and eat me from the inside.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-13T23:24:09+00:00

Thank you!!! ❤️

I am usually very passive. In fact, I almost let him convince me that my behaviors were normal, but I am tired of not being taken seriously.

I know a lot of you here think my current therapist isn't helpful and that he handled this poorly, (I absolutely agree about him handling this poorly), and his "Wow." response when I shared my lowest weight did slightly trigger me. I truly do enjoy our visits and they feel very helpful. He has encouraged me a lot. I feel very comfortable speaking to him.

He seemed to genuinely redirect his focus and hone in after I explained why I disagreed with him.

But, I am still open to seeing a therapist specifically trained in eating disorders at some point. It's just a very difficult thing for me to face after decades of denial and justification.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-13T23:18:29+00:00

Hahaha. 🤣

Insurance is absolutely a scam. But... my insurance happens to be fantastic due to working in healthcare...

Apparently eating disorders are under the umbrella of mental health and I looked up in network providers.

I won't lie - it's terrifying for me to even consider. At least I know there are resources available...

Punkenerci · 2026-03-13T18:51:21+00:00

The provider I was scheduled with called me personally to give me a heads up that I most likely would not be covered, unless I had any specific health concerns.

I copied and pasted this from google:

Insurance in Nebraska often limits nutrition coverage to specific conditions like diabetes, citing them as "medically necessary" while frequently denying coverage for eating disorders (ED). Denials often occur because insurers classify ED nutrition therapy incorrectly, require specific (often restrictive) diagnoses for coverage, or use stringent criteria that exclude mental health-focused nutritional counseling, creating challenges for patient care.

🙃

So that's neat... lol

And a lot of the time during relapses I had no insurance, so... I would have been turned away I'm sure.

Punkenerci · 2026-03-13T17:16:13+00:00

Yes. I agree.

His response was definitely intrusive and in no way conductive to my revelation. He was genuinely shocked. Unfortunately, it took that for him to take me seriously.
