Star Jones Reynolds
She has finally admitted on people.com that she had gastric bypass surgery. I think everyone knew it all along since she has lost 160 pounds, but she kept denying it. After reading the story, I can halfway understand why she did it. Said she was waiting to see if it was going to work. That had pretty much been my attitude also. I figure with the way my luck goes that I would be one of those that would lose 30 pounds and stop, and everyone would know what a failure I really was. Luckily, I have lost 80 pounds so far, thank God, but now my thinking is that I might be one of those who gains it all back !!!!
I think people tend to forget what PHI stands for....
PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION!!!
I dont know why its such a big deal the why or how someone loses weight. Society should just celebrate the results. Each person has to make such a personal decision as to the weapon they will use to fight the battle... I dont think its something that people MUST know.
For me personal decision, I keep my plan very private. Not many people in my circle, including family even know...Not so much because Im afraid to fail, but because I just dont think everything needs to be everyones business.
Im glad she finally told her story. Im sure it will help someone somewhere.
I don't blame her in the least for not disclosing her WLS. She has a right to her privacy. Just as you and I do... It's a very personal decision .. it sad that something like this is news worthy... but she is in the public eye.....and I agree with not wanting to look like a failure... we've all been there with our doubts...
GO STAR!
I rock..!!!

I don't like Star Jones. It has nothing to do with her surgery. It mostly has to do with the fact that she looks like a bug and is a skank ho.
omg, Kathy..... you constantly are making me CRACK UP at work... yesterday I got CAUGHT ... (again!) laughing at one of your posts. and this guy in my office was walking by my office .... and said... "what did I do and why are you laughing at me????" ugghghhghg everyone is so f'ng paranoid (including me, so I can say this......and not feel that bad, but of course I will feel bad later...... lol) I quickly covered and said that I had just read a funny email.
