Dr Keith show
Im not sure if any of you seen this show this morning, but it was of heavy woman being happy and satisfied being fat. weighing 280 to 400 pounds some wanting to gain more weight I was in tears, these women are lying to themselves, I was at 410 pounds last year and I wasnt happy I was miserable and in so much pain and so many issues health and other wise. If you didnt see the show go to Dr Keith's sight you can read about it. Men praising these women for being so big, talking about how the sex was great lol what sex is what I wanted to say. It was sexy for me and nor was it enjoyable. I dont understand them at all. But there healthy and happy they are saying WOW!!!!! These ladies need some help. How can they be happy at this weight? Sorry for ranting. I just dont understand there logic.
I know it takes longer for some than for others to accept the actual reality of their size and how it affects them. And, I suppose some might really be happy beng obese.--that's not for me to judge. In my case I don't think I actually realized how HUGE I was because I never looked in a mirror--I mean REALLY looked at my entire body and not just my face. I never owned a full lenth mirror. I never weighed because normal scales would not weigh me. I just thought that I had to make peace with the fact that I was super morbidly obese because I could find diet plans that would work---but them I gained it all back + more. (Sound familiar to anyone?)
Finally at age 52 my weight had me almost completely homebound and staying in a bad relationship because I could not function on my own. I wanted to be around to watch my grandbabies grow up and to start living life instead of just existing. So---I got a referral to my WLS surgeon for a consult and the rest is history.
The point I am trying to make is that perhaps these interviewees on Dr Keith just have not had a serious reality check---we all know that it will come one day for them as it did for us and they will have to search to find the right solution to their own satisfaction.
We are all grateful and blessed to have found our answer.

I didn't see the show, but I can why he would have a show on like that. Fat is the last "acceptable" discrimination, and shows like that like to display people as freaks.
What they are is sick miserable people who are being taken advantage of for some cruel reasons.
I can understand men liking heavier women, in many cultures heavier women are considered sexy. These people on the show, however, are probably not merely plump, these folks are extremely morbidly obese and the only way they have found to deal with their pain, is to frame in in terms of "this fat helps me to be someone, and that someone is desired by someone else so this is who I am going to be." I have seen shows where one of the partners demands that the other partner get so big they can barely move and convince the obese person that is sexy to him or her. This has nothing to do with size acceptance and more to do with Emotional ABUSE and CONTROL. If one person can help someone become so fat they can't function and move then they control them.
They are not happy at that weight, they are controlled and abused. No one is happy like that and if they claim they are then they are most likely to be dening some very real pain.
I have been every size under the rainbow, and being this big is so profoundly emotionally painful, more than the physical issues and I cannot image someone wanting more of this pain.
