Re: For HI THERE - gbs discussion on the view

[Guest guest]

is an okay person. I think that people tend

to misunderstand her stance on " phat or fat " women.

The message she is trying to get across to america is

that a real woman is not measured by numbers on a

scale or a tag in your clothing but rather by your

character and how you carry yourself. What she is

trying to say is be proud of who you are because sexy

does not equate to small. I think that somewhere

along the way she has gotten a bit out of control

because it does come across like she is glorifying

being obese but she really isn't.

As for her opinion about the surgery...simply

stated..its just her opinion and we that have

undergone the procedure know that she is incorrect

with her accessment and lack of knowledge concerning

weight loss sugery and its benefits. Not to make

light of it but SO WHAT if someone dies post surgery

(and I certainly do not mean SO WHAT) but chances are

we would die from our chronic conditions if we did not

do something anyway.

If she is truly happy with the way she is...let her

stay that way but I can bet you that she is not and

because of the stance she has taken on being happy

with being " phat or fat " she would never do the

surgery or openly admit that she did the surgery. Oh

boy sounds like another Star Reynolds situation.

I hope I did not open a can of worms.

I hope no offense was taken to what I said because to

offend was not my intention. Take care and no matter

where you are on this journey, be encouraged.

pam the reason I cannot stand her is she does not allow anyone to have an opinion diff than her...When one of the woman tried to defend the sugergy as life saving, she would just get louder and interrupt to prove she was right. and I agree with you that she protests too much. and she has made her $$$ by encouraging obesity and acceptance.... which i would agree with if it was done sinceerely and not just thru some of her ignornance. She is not a nutritionist or has any sort of medical background but spouts off as if she does....I think this can be dangerous BPamela A Marsh wrote: is an okay person.

That is for you and I am so glad that you were

not offend by my comments. I agree with what you have

said about the $$$. Well, its up to people like us to

educate people so that people that really need this

procedure won't turn and run in the opposite direction

because of something like what and others have

said.

Thank you for sharing this information.
