She milked that for all the $$$$$ she could,  then let that go real quick.  Talked all that stuff, wrote a book, had the Big is Beautiful pagent show on TV, etc....till there was no more money to be made.  NOW, she decides to get healthy....WHATEVA

Yes, a person should lose weight for themselves but sometimes it take someone else telling you that you need to, to make you do something about it.

Case in Point....June 2004, I was sitting in the doctor office discussing why I could not get my insulin taking under control, a little bit was making my blood sugar drop to fast.  When this tall old skinny white doctor said to me "you don't need to be on insulin, you need to lose weight"

Let me tell you, I got pissed, "no this old white skinny man is not calling me fat", "I am not fat", I am just thick"..I left his office in a puff but you know what.....after I calm down and thought about it, he was right but had he not said anything, I more likely would have still been thinking that I was just thick, after all my weight was not stopping me from doing anything that I wanted to do, I was walking farther than some who was in better shape and it was all because of what he said.  So I said if it took her husband to say something before she did anything then good for him.

I saw Mo on Oprah a few weeks ago and she briefly talked about her weight loss and the husband's comments.  Whatever her motivation, I'm glad she has taken the steps to get healthy BUT......I agree with Kim B and Talisha!  She milked the Bigger is Better, I hate Skinny Bit@he$, Skinny Bit@he$ Can't Cook, Fat is Fabulous platform for all it was worth and it does seem very hypocritical to those of us who brought into that nonsense.   

But tell the truth BAF, wasn't there a time in your before WLS lives that you thought it was nothing wrong with being big and beautiful or fat and fabulous? Or was that just Me??

Heck yeah, I thought it for years.  Couldn't tell me I wasn't cute.  Hell, I'm not skinny now and I STILL think I'm cute!  LOL
