I always like to believe that if a person is an adult that they can be any size that they want to be and it's their business alone. However, when people have very low self-esteem or have emotional problems, then scenarios like the one you described are not acceptable. I also have a problem with people who get themselves into this type of life and others end up paying for their healthcare. (Which is why I tend to yell at the TV when I catch shows like 'half ton man' and the like.) I certainly need to lose weight, but I'm totally aware of the health problems that I have and those that are looming on the horizon if I don't do something now. I also do not put blame on others or expect others to 'take care of me'. Thanks for posting this information. Report Inappropriate Comment |

It seems to me to be suicide And PAID suicide. I wonder whether people also are paid to drink themselves to death in alcohol? I have known 3 men who drank themselves to death - it took some years. They did not get money for it. Else ways it is the same stuff. This girl will also need some years before the goal is fulfilled = eating herself to death. Good idea to put the article in Spark people. Do we want to become like her or do we want to keep being alert in keeping a healthy lifestyle?

I agree with what you have said. How sad. I once watch "SuperSize Me". I hope the person with these "goals" is able to see the light and fix the damage done. Report Inappropriate Comment |

I truly agree with you about sexuality. And as far as the that woman on the Dr. Phil show goes it just shows you that some people will do anything to become rich and famous. Carrie Report Inappropriate Comment |

DONE GIRLS ROCK.
Way to go for saying that! I completely agree with you. I even get co-workers making suggestions, which annoys the crazy out of me. I've been in the hospital 3 times because of fad diets. I've given up more times then I have fingers and toes. You are so very right. There is no such thing as miracle weight loss pills, diets, shakes, surgeries or anything else they can think up to get money! It's all about becoming healthy. I still struggle when I see the amount of calories I'm eating. It's been crammed into my head for so long, "Eat less, workout more" is the only way you will lose the weight. The best decision I made was seeing my acupuncturist/Chinese medicine practitioner. I was desperate and tired of doctors telling me there was nothing wrong. It took him 1/2 hour listening to me to know exactly what was wrong. I had sucralose poisoning and was malnourished. Wow...fat and malnourished?! I listened to him, got off the sucralose & all artificial sweeteners, additives etc. and I started eating more. That constituted a lot more veggies! lol I'm steadily losing weight and my energy levels are skyrocketing. BUT, I'm still working hard at it. I exercise a lot and every pound I lose I see as a victory!
I couldnt believe what i was reading. She was being offered money to appear on shows like Dr. Phil, something on the O network and so on. Honestly I felt nausious as read the story. I along with most of the people know the importance of a healthy diet and exercise, and here is this woman that is making a mockery of all that we believe. She is up to 605 pounds at the time of the article and eating something like 12,000 calories a day. Omg can you imagine what the esteem level must be to do that to yourself. I was astounded by the whole thing, however to learn that she makes money by videoing herself doing chores in very little clothing for this other website called supersizedbombshells.com when i clicked that linc i literally began to cry for these poor women. When i saw them it was like watching the world laughing at them. Then I was pissed because these women have a forum that speaks for all larger women. And since I am in that group well I think they need help. Sexuality doesnt come from wearing a thong or a teddy sexuallity comes from how you portray yourself to the world. Maybe we should stop looking for sexuality and start looking for pure beauty in the world. I have never said i was an ugly person I just said i was no size three. I learned a long time ago that i was a beautiful, intelligent classy lady. I have never been referred to as a woman well honestly because my daddy said that the term was something less than lady like. I was raised to have the up most respect for myself and others as well. I was called one time a BBW ( big Beautiful Woman) and well that person learned real quick that I do consider that a compliment at all. I strive equallity and i have never heard a skinny lady referred to as a sbw (skinny Beautiful woman). My weight does not define nor should it be in any defination of me. Ladies come on please for the love of god find the respect for yourself not to be used in this manner. there is not much that has to do with being fat that makes me want to go hide because well i strive to change that fact everyday however what i saw and read this morning made me wanted to go hide under the covers for a long time. There are plenty of ladies that very appealing as a larger size lady and there are plenty of unappealing skinny people all i am saying is that i am not sure that the internet should be used to show the world all of your business. This blog was not meant to offend anyone it was just to vent off my frustration for women of any size needing to be admired or made to feel worthy that they allow themselves to be used in the manner that these ladies are allowing. Shame on them and i hope that they dont lose to much of themselves that they cant fix this problem in the long run and have a truly healthy and happy life.
