Tyra and Weightview.com

       Did anyone watch Tyra today? It was an awesome show. They featured a couple of people from the People's Half Their Size issue. It was truly inspiring. They also took a size 0 female and a size 20 female and had them trade places for the day. They put a fat suit on the size 0 girl and turned her into a size 32. Then they made up the size 20 girl to appear as though she was wearing a fat suit and gave her some digitally enhanced photos to prove to others that she was actually thin. It's just sickening to watch the discrimination that overweight and obese people endure every single day. 
    Tyra mentioned a website called weightview.com. You go to the site, upload a picture of yourself and then they will enhance to it show you what you would look like 5-50 lbs smaller (you pick the weight) and then they email it back to you within 48 hours. And it's FREE! I tried it out and I may post what they send me back. Just wanted to let everyone else know about in case you wanted to give it a try. At the very least, it should be entertaining!

Hey thanks for that info and that site!!! It is said what people overweight have to deal with each and everyday..those that have been skinny all their life just dont understand how we feel. I was trying to tell my friend thats tiny about it..about how i feel people arent my friend because of me being overweight..its like i am contagious or that i am going to keep them from doing what they like to do or something..and the only thing she could say...do you really think its like that?

But anywho!! i am going to go check the site out..i'm curious!! Thanks!

I will check that out! fun!!!!

it is weird how mean people are to fat people. I have to admit, I have noted some unfair ideas about them too. I really make those kinds of thoughts go aside - soemtimes people are doing the best they can - weight issues are hard, even impossible to deal with once a certain level is attained.

I tried it out.  The photo didn't slim my face and gave me a triangular body with only my lower half slimming and not waist.  Pffft.  

wow-that's interesting.  I'm going to go there and give them a picture of myself 50lbs ago and see if what they give me back is how I look now.  fun!  thanks!
