Oh. My. GRR. It irritates the crap out of me. The commercial with the annoying woman who thinks she’s the only woman in the world who can catch a football.

You are so right that the oppression of the diet industry to make big people think that they are not allowed to move in public is twisted and sick. Have you seen this ridiculous webservice that has people uploading a photo of themselves, which they alter to show a skinnier version of the person, to serve as a goal photo? It is whacked. They have been marketing to bloggers to get them to cover the site, and they've gathered a lot of attention from dieters. Who then are bombarded with diet ads. Argh. I've been meaning to write about but haven't yet. http://www.weightview.com/new/start.asp http://www.weightview.com/new/press.asp You are a rockstar!

If you eat that little, you will lose weight, with or without a band/major surgery. Also, who'd want to go to Paris if you could only heat half a cup of food at each meal?

I do get incensed as you when I hear this amazing misleading societal provoking garbage about the bigger or thicker or curvy (whatever) fat people. It frustrates me to no end as people who never have walked in anyones shoes, or have seen Big Moves are so quick to judge. Makes me sick. Girl!

It's a British whodunit series with a gardening theme. Great travelogue and a fun show featuring women who are clearly over 40, smart, and not stick-thin. :) Oh, and have I mentioned I mostly mute commercials?

I always scream "then eat something, dumbass!" You have to have a pretty serious medical condition before you just ignore hunger like that. In Jean Killbourne's Killing Us Softly 3 she has an ad that says "I never would have met my husband if I hadn't lost weight" to which she replies "One woman told me that was the best advertisement for fat that she'd ever heard." I don't want to go to Paris, but I watch travel shows that go to sleepy backwoods little French towns, those look nice. I'm not into touristy stuff, and I probably wouldn't appreciate the Louvre. My weight isn't the issue, of course, it's that I don't have any money.

Yes my friends, this is sadly true. A few years back my mother had the bypass surgery, reducing her stomach pouch to the size of an egg. However, your stomach stretches naturally. If you don't follow a proper diet and exercise, a year after you lose that 100lbs you'll start gaining it back again. Getting your stomach stapled is not a cure for obesity. My mom didn't know that going into it, and continued her binging and emotional eating ways. She's now back to her original weight. I never wanted her to have the surgery in the first place. Now, not only has she gained it all back, she also has to continue to take a fistful of vitamins, supplements and meds because her body still cannot absorb adequate amounts due to the surgery. The procedure is irreversible, and so are the side effects. I just wanted to share that with anyone who was considering getting any sort of surgical weight loss procedure. It won't fix you. Seriously. One thing I’d like to add about any kind of bariatric surgery is that YOU CAN STILL GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK!!!!
