Hey Tasha, I just saw in another thread that you worked at 2 of the Foxy’s. My bff worked in Brockton for a while. Did you live in MA?

I also wanted to add, look at shows like The Biggest Loser. They still make them undress down to nothing on network television, but they then don’t have them in shiny purple spandex for everyone to stare at. It’s just…. different.
I guess as a bigger girl who spends a lot of time carefully choosing my clothes to flatter me rather than make me look worse, this seems borderline inhumane to me LOL.

I weigh 220 lbs. I understand the meaning of the show is acceptance of your size and making a change to be active. However, unless you have been this size, you may not quite understand what it means to bare every single flaw for the world to see when there are ways to still dress beautifully, sexily, however you may choose, and not be cannon fodder for every late night talk show host. That is all I am saying. You are taking a situation that sets people up for ridicule and then amplifying it instead of doing your best to keep it from being as bad as possible.
And you can say we SHOULD accept their weight/size, and generally I DO accept my weight/size and am comfortable with it, because I am working toward a goal and I understand my body has birthed 3 children including a set of surrogate twins. However, if I saw Joel McHale making fun of me on The Soup, it would f’ing hurt knowing a few million people just had a chuckle at my expense. I’d rather my every roll and stretch mark covered at least for that reason. That was the point I was trying to make, and certainly not that anyone has anything to be ashamed of.

That looks fantastic! I would have never guesses you have only been at it 3 weeks! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

While they may not exploit them, The Soup and Chelsea Lately do exploit them on a prett much weekly basis. As a fat chick, I am boycotting https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif . Why must they dress these people in spandex with their every roll showing?! Even if they aren’t exploiting them or making fun of them, pretty much everyone else is. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Awww I wish I could do ummm…. ANYTHING on a pole so I could do this https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif . "The Way You Make Me Feel" is one of my fave song ever!!!

What an amazing site. Having carried almost 14 pounds of baby in my at once (my surrogate twins were 6lbs 14ozs each), I try not to look at myself as "ruined". I try to see those stretch marks and hanging skin as my badge of honor for creating not just two lives, but an entire family. It’s tough to see them that way when I am trying to climb the pole and can’t move an inch LOL. I will get there though…
