watching this show on TLC, big sexy- have you seen it?

Thank you Thank you Thank you.

And now at this point at whatever weight ALL we can do is make HEALTHY choices when it comes to food and do our best to be HEALTHY...because I keep telling people skinny or smaller or whatever doesn't mean healthy by a long shot.

I jus****ched it and what I got from it was these women were trying to convince themselves they were happy being large. But every other comment was about the hurt they had/have to endure because of their size. I for one never want to be that girl again.

All these people on here talking about they never wanted to be skinny yet they had wls..lol, but whatever

Is there a "like" button??? lol

I already got yelled at about the show once on this forum, but I'll repeat it.  'Acceptance' shouldn't be the same as 'promotion.'  I worry that like plus-sized juniors and vanity sizing, shows like this will ultimately promote what we know is fundamentally unhealthy, physically, if not always emotionally. 

I was very successful professionall and personally y at close to 300lbs.  I was 'accepted' because I am confident.  My self image and belief in my value as a human being are not wrapped up in my size.  They never were.  I aggravated, now, when people say to me, "Don't you feel so much bettre about yourself?"  as if I must have been filled with self-loathing simply because of my size. 

I dunno.  Mixed emotions, I guess.

I didn't see the show but while I was heavier I was (and still is) a member of a fat acceptance group.  I accept people choice to be fat as long as there are no health issues.  My thing is getting others to not be so cruel and discriminate.  Its a shame make the damn seats bigger, make the helicopter sturdier

Even though I love to travel, I know it was my own damn fault I didn't fit in the seat without crushing myself and having to fly with crossed arms and legs locked together to keep from taking up part of the other person's seat. Yes, the seats are small, but not so small even a 200 pound person can't at least fit all the way into ONE seat. I don't think anyone wants to pay what you would have to for a seat 20 inches or more wide.And let's face it, even that wouldn't be near big enough for way too many people today. Count me in as thinking a lot of the things the "Big Sexy" girls say are BS that they are trying to convince themselves of, and that doesnt stand for Big Sexy. If I didn't lose below 175 I'dbe fine with it as I used to feel great at that weight and was pretty toned and strong, but even though I feel way better than before now, I'd be really disappointed if I didn't make it to my first goal which is 10.
