Nice, I "liked" these.

I think she got an earful from the backlash emails and media she received for the article. I think she has been fully chastised, I think though she just said what a lot of other people never have the courage to say, which is quite sad when you think about it.

FOR SHAME.

Hmmm... I don't remember hearing such disgusting things being spouted when Roseanne was on the air. I seem to remember several make out sessions and elusions to bedroom activities between the star "fatties" on that show.

Vile, vile, woman with a target for bad mojo.

By the time I read it she had posted an update. But I think that's just PR. She's such an insensitive @ss.

This part:

But ... I think obesity is something that most people have a ton of control over. It's something they can change, if only they put their minds to it.

really stuck out at me. Oh, the many many times I've "put my mind to it". Unfortunately, I think this is what the majority of American's feel or believe, even the overweight ones. It makes me not want to tell anyone, including close family and friends that I'm having WLS. It's like religion and politics, no amount of facts will change their minds. This lady was just brave/stupid enough to tell everyone how she really feels.

This woman is ignorant and arrogant, like so many others who are allowed to petal their BS in the media. I will certainly never have anything to do with Marie Claire in the future, except to expose it for what it is.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
