Go back and read what I said Mike/Sandra. No one needs a person in a lab coat to tell them what FAT is. You know you're fat by looking in the mirror, and I suspect that's what's bothering you about this.
I've said a number of times here that I am not arguing for extremes. No one needs to be bulimic OR fat! Does it escape your understanding that a person can simply be fit and healthy?
Unfortunately, fat people like you want to advance the assumption that these are the only two choices. I'm sure it makes super-sizing your fries easier, and misery loves company after all. I suspect after your frequent binges that you ponder your expanding middle with the kind of self-loathing you're exhibiting here. Only instead of doing something constructive you simply lash out at anyone who dares tell you the truth: Fat is ugly. Fat is deadly. People don't like fat because they're mean, people don't like fat because it is just gross.
And I never said I was perfect. I just try to be the best
Mike
February 18th, 2008 12:46 PM
Talk about changing the subject. Now its marketing. OMG!
I thought I read that she was once bulmic and thin. So being thin will make you a healthier person.
What I'm tried to point out to you is that not everyone can match a number that some guy in a lab coat came up with. Not everyone is as perfect as YOU are. Some people eat right and might weigh a different amount than another. You don't know what she eats or spends her time. But go ahead and justify your assumptions and you life by insulting people and the intelligence of the rest of us.

Stacy, you are exactly right. It is none of my business if a person wants to line their arteries with plaque and surround their middles with a huge spare tire or stifle their heart function with fat. It's their choice, just as it's a person's choice to be a druggie or an alcoholic. But if you go back and actually READ my objection, you'll see that I'm not objecting to the individual's choice to live an unhealthy food-ruled life, but to the message that somehow it's an empowering, positive thing to do.
If there were a caption of Keely - fat as she is - plodding down the beach with the caption "Keely Shaye Smith runs on the beach," I'd not have commented. But the caption read something to the effect that she was being "true to herself" by being fat and the author of the quote applauded this as something positive.
I have to wonder if they would have put the same caption under a picture of Amy Winehouse snorting coke or Heath Ledger popping pills. I doubt it, because drug abuse is

Victoria, My wife didn't throw in the towel as you said. If you read what I said she eats a well balanced diet and is very active. I'm not spouting convoluted logic. it is fact. Also if you look some studies are showing the right weight for a person is connected to genntics. Yes some people do over eat and become over weight, but that is their choice. Also if someone finds a person beautiful for whatever reason doesn't mean they are a sexual socko. Some me find women with soft features beautiful and others find women with hard features beautiful. Not every person subscribes to you narrow self-centered deluted description of beauty.
I find it funny that the women that just a few years were called bombshell, pinups or movie stars you would now call unattractive and fat.
I am offended by the personal attacks aginst Keely and my wife. Just remember two thingsLet he (or she) without sin cast the first stone, and only when you are perfect can you be the measure of the rest of the worl

victoria, also, I know all the statistics that you spout about longevity and bone health and joint health etc. and I definitely agree. The citizens of the world should not aspire to weigh 500 lbs each. However, I'm not going to judge those who do, or those who are even 20lbs overweight. Its not MY business.

February 15th, 2008 1:30 PM
why do you care if she's overweight. that is what I'm trying to understand. YOU are thin, so why are you worrying about her? You act like the whole world is going to get taken over by "fat" people and you are going to be force fed by all the "double chinned opposition". lol Its none of your concern. nor mine. She looks larger than she is because she is in a swimsuit on the beach! duh! She's probably no bigger than I am and as I said earlier. I weigh 150. If I went by the BMI chart, I'd be anorexic. I look really bad when I get as thin as what the chart says. I have been that thin and it's just not a good look.
Furthermore, We don't know what Keely's ratio of muscle to fat is. I've seen people who are 250-300 lbs naked (I'm a nurse) and SHE is not anywhere that weight range.
and as far as self acceptance...I'd rather be the weigh I am now and be happy and enjoying life, than stressing about every single morsel I put in my mouth. I exercise everyday and I eat m oderately. I don
Victoria
February 15th, 2008 8:23 AM
In answer to the questions, I'm 42 and am in the publishing business.
To Mike: Very few people here have said that Keely's husband should leave her, but rather have expressed concern that she would let herself balloon to an unattractive and unhealthy weight that puts her at an increased risk for the disease that killed his first wife.
Per your examples of people who lived healthily and died anyway. Again, that is the typical convoluted logic fat people love to throw out to justify eating themselves to death.
It is true; we may eat healthy and still end up with cancer or heart disease via the genetic lottery we all play. But ODDS ARE if you keep your weight down and stay active you will increase your longevity, feel better and look better than people who disregard their weight. Now, if you want to pat your wife on her broad back for throwing in the towel as she reaches for the Twinkies, that's your decision. But don't expect us all to believe it's the right - or caring - one.

whether she is overweight or not is no one's business but hers. None of us know how much she weighs and none of us should be concerned with HER issues.
also, I'd wear a 2 pc swimsuit any day over a hot, smothering one pc. I weigh 150 lbs and have gained 20lbs in the last year due to some med changes that occurred. I am working slowly and healthfully to get that weight off. I am 40 now, so things take a little longer to come off. Be kind to Keely. She is HUMAN just like we all are.

February 14th, 2008 3:29 PM
Victoria. Its amazing how you can tell the health of someone you have never met. I think it is funny because my wife is over weight and in very good health. Her blood prussure is 110/60, pulse is good, colestrol is perfect, sugar level perfect. When she did lose weight close to her "ideal" weight everything went haywire, and that was on a doctor supervised diet. I also knew a man that was a "healty" weight, worked out, ate healthy and dropped dead of a heart attack at 44 with no history of heart problems. explain that? Also most of the negitive comments says that her husband should leave her because she dosn't look like she did before. How shallow can people be. Just remember we all will one day be older, more wrinkles, gray hair etc. By your reasoning your loved one should leave you, right. As long as a person is happy AND healthy, good for them, and until you get a copy of her medical records don't comment on her health.
One more thing you might not think someone is beautiful or

if you starve you either die---or your body... one day takes over and it will never starve again...it hold fat no matter how you try..that is why so may opt for surgery after yrs of starve-a-tion then fat-a-tion.....
you can not judge... you can not think of yourself as perfect... as we all come w/im-per-fec-tions... if not we would be GOD...or GOD LIKE (this is not a religious thing)

Why Sandra! So kind of you to step away from that pack of Twinkies long enough to throw a Fatty Fit!
I never claimed to be a size 2. Technically I'm a 2/4, depending on what brand jeans I'm wearing. Some of them run large, or small. Alas. ;-)
Were I a fat person, I would be giving myself away here by doing just what you and other fatties are doing, which is either a.) reacting in shrill anger to the TRUTH that you don't have to be a walking tub of lard or b.) trying to convince others that being obese is some sort of lifestyle choice that people should embrace or be proud of.
Healthy, fit people - knowing how much better life can be - do not buy into or advocate the notion that "fat acceptance" or "fat pride" are anything other than dangerous, potentially fatal mindsets that are ballooning our youngsters and leading to the increase in diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Some people have said "maybe she has tried to lose weight, and couldn't." Most people can--and will--lose weight if they watch what they eat and exercise. I have a thyroid problem and take medication daily, and I am a normal body size and weight (5'5", 134 pounds). I have to work at it, and watch everything I eat, but it can be done. A lot of people with so-called "thyroid problems" don't watch what they eat. Eating healthy also makes me feel really good; stabilizes my moods; and makes me happy and healthy in general. Good nutrition...what a concept!! And no, not all Americans are fat. You Brits act like there are no fat people in Britain, and you know that's just not true.

I really think that Victoria is full of it!! I think that she WISHES that she was a size 2 so she tries to act all high and mighty about it. I am sure that she HATES her life so much and HATES HERSELF that she keeps stating that she is a size 2. I am sure that she is really about 400 ibs or so and can't stand to look at herself in the mirror. That is the reason why she keeps talking about everyone being fat and keeps on with all the name calling. So, my advice is for everyone to just ignore her because she thinks that she is being cute but is to dumb to see what an ass she is making of herself. So, I am going to ignore all her comments and just skip over them while reading and hope that she finally finds her rock, I mean her bolder and crawls her sorry self back under it!!!

Let's get honest. When he started dating her, she was rail thin. Does anyone really think he would have hooked up with her at this weight? I remember reading an interview with him when they first started dating, and he said he'd already seen her in a binkini by the pool when he asked her out, so he knew what she looked like. I don't think he would have asked her out if she looked like she does now in a bikini, but what's he going to do, divorce her for being fat?

Wow the venom is really shooting back and forth here. I personally am a 29 yr old mother of 2 and a training pro wrestler. Its pounded into our heads what we should and shouldn't do to keep our weight in fit form. I struggled a little more than one of my fellow trainees to lose some pounds because of simple genetics. My family has a hard time losing weight so it took extra effort and some serious will power on my part. It also took longer for me than it did her. But it was possible. Now I'm 5'7 and a healthy 130 with my curves still intact. Its possible to get healthy after kids but for some people it does take longer genes can be evil. So maybe Keely is trying to get back in shape and its just taking longer than some other people. No one knows the real story of the reason for her weight except for her. Maybe she just got sick of being told what to look like? We don't know. To all of you that are in struggles with weight; head up. Anything is conquerable! And to those th

Casablanca lily, you are full of it, obviously in more ways that one. I am the very woman you describe, my dear. I'm 42, the mother of five and had my last two children in my middle and late thirties. But because I watch my diet and stay active (I'm not a dieter or an exercise addict) I am a size 2/4. I'm not aneorixic, either. I'm just slim.
The type of crap you spew is exactly what fat women want other women to believe - that obesiety is inevitable. But it is NOT if you give a damn about yourself.
Yes, childbirth and age change your body and your metabolism but you can change it right back with a little bit of motivation.
Part of the problem is that in this country we eat about five or six times the normal portion, so "dieting" for some people means cutting back to three or four times the normal portion, which is still too much.
The key to getting out from under all that deadly blubber - and the kind of deadly mindset someone like Casablanca lily displsys - is to change

February 6th, 2008 12:25 PM

She should be in a bathing suit that is suited to her body type, not waddling around in a bikini showing her disgusting jellyrolls to the world. I wouldn't be caught dead in a bikini at my age and weight!

Hey, when you get to this age (mid-40's) and you've had a couple of kids later in life, which she has, all sorts of things start happening to your body and hormones, like your thyroid, insulin, and metabolism, which are hard to avoid, that is, unless you are throwing up your food on a regular basis, taking laxatives, on some sort of not so safe drug or herbs that help you with your energy levels, exercising your buns off, lives on rabbit food, is on some kind of special and expensive diet program they pay for (including having diet meals delivered to you) and/or starve yourself and/or binge, or are anorexic. Any one who wants to argue these points is quite welcome! If you think otherwise, you are in a very lucky low percentile of women this age, and/or maybe aren't being quite as honest with us and yourself as you could be! Here's to Keely.

February 5th, 2008 10:29 AM
Look, hun, you have a problem if you think everyone disagreeing with you is fat. I could very well say that because you don't work out 2 hours a day that you're fat, too.
I run 7-9 miles almost every day and when it's not winter I work outdoors in the backcountry (easy to be skinny given my activity level). 80% of my diet is vegetables--the other 20% lentils, fruit, some dairy. No meat. I'm 5'8 and 107 lb. I'd rather be dead than fat and have an intense fear of it. Even being very thin, still, no one is nearly as mean to a skinny as they are to fat people. No one jumps down my throat telling me how I'm hurting myself, or that I need to 'do something' about it. Take a fat person and people are all over them.
Anyway I suspect you just hate fat people and like being mean. If people want to change, they will. Being mean only hurts feelings.
I absolutely agree with you, however, that society is so used to seeing fat people they have no idea what fat or thin is. I think Keely looks quite
Victoria
February 5th, 2008 9:59 AM
Z, you're overdoing it. The "nine mile" comment just makes me even a bit more suspicious.
But just to play along, let's pretend that you really are anorexic and not the fat person I suspect you really are.
If you're anorexic then you have food issues just like a fat person, only to the opposite extreme. So it is understandable why someone who can't control their weight and remains too thin sympathises with people who can't control their weight and remain too fat.
I've not once argued in favor of being too thin. All I've stated here is that there is no reason or justification for people to be as fat as they are in this society. When people look at like Booney look at Keely Shaye Smith and say, "She's not obese!" it's because our nation is so sloppy fat that what used to be obese is seen as normal,
And yes, Booney, there are medical conditions like POS, and if you're suffering from that I'm sorry to hear it. But if I had a dime for every fat person who blamed their paunch on "thy

Wow the venom is really shooting back and forth here. I personally am a 29 yr old mother of 2 and a training pro wrestler. Its pounded into our heads what we should and shouldn't do to keep our weight in fit form. I struggled a little more than one of my fellow trainees to lose some pounds because of simple genetics. My family has a hard time losing weight so it took extra effort and some serious will power on my part. It also took longer for me than it did her. But it was possible. Now I'm 5'7 and a healthy 130 with my curves still intact. Its possible to get healthy after kids but for some people it does take longer genes can be evil. So maybe Keely is trying to get back in shape and its just taking longer than some other people. No one knows the real story of the reason for her weight except for her. Maybe she just got sick of being told what to look like? We don't know. To all of you that are in struggles with weight; head up. Anything is conquerable! And to those th

Casablanca lily, you are full of it, obviously in more ways that one. I am the very woman you describe, my dear. I'm 42, the mother of five and had my last two children in my middle and late thirties. But because I watch my diet and stay active (I'm not a dieter or an exercise addict) I am a size 2/4. I'm not aneorixic, either. I'm just slim.
The type of crap you spew is exactly what fat women want other women to believe - that obesiety is inevitable. But it is NOT if you give a damn about yourself.
Yes, childbirth and age change your body and your metabolism but you can change it right back with a little bit of motivation.
Part of the problem is that in this country we eat about five or six times the normal portion, so "dieting" for some people means cutting back to three or four times the normal portion, which is still too much.
The key to getting out from under all that deadly blubber - and the kind of deadly mindset someone like Casablanca lily displsys - is to change

lily, I agree with what you're saying. However, Keely is an example of how this society has lost sight of class and good taste. She should be in a bathing suit that is suited to her body type, not waddling around in a bikini showing her disgusting jellyrolls to the world. I wouldn't be caught dead in a bikini at my age and weight!

Hey, when you get to this age (mid-40's) and you've had a couple of kids later in life, which she has, all sorts of things start happening to your body and hormones, like your thyroid, insulin, and metabolism, which are hard to avoid, that is, unless you are throwing up your food on a regular basis, taking laxatives, on some sort of not so safe drug or herbs that help you with your energy levels, exercising your buns off, lives on rabbit food, is on some kind of special and expensive diet program they pay for (including having diet meals delivered to you) and/or starve yourself and/or binge, or are anorexic. Any one who wants to argue these points is quite welcome! If you think otherwise, you are in a very lucky low percentile of women this age, and/or maybe aren't being quite as honest with us and yourself as you could be! Here's to Keely.

Look, hun, you have a problem if you think everyone disagreeing with you is fat. I could very well say that because you don't work out 2 hours a day that you're fat, too.
I run 7-9 miles almost every day and when it's not winter I work outdoors in the backcountry (easy to be skinny given my activity level). 80% of my diet is vegetables--the other 20% lentils, fruit, some dairy. No meat. I'm 5'8 and 107 lb. I'd rather be dead than fat and have an intense fear of it. Even being very thin, still, no one is nearly as mean to a skinny as they are to fat people. No one jumps down my throat telling me how I'm hurting myself, or that I need to 'do something' about it. Take a fat person and people are all over them.
Anyway I suspect you just hate fat people and like being mean. If people want to change, they will. Being mean only hurts feelings.
I absolutely agree with you, however, that society is so used to seeing fat people they have no idea what fat or thin is. I think Keely looks quite

Z, you're overdoing it. The "nine mile" comment just makes me even a bit more suspicious.
But just to play along, let's pretend that you really are anorexic and not the fat person I suspect you really are.
If you're anorexic then you have food issues just like a fat person, only to the opposite extreme. So it is understandable why someone who can't control their weight and remains too thin sympathises with people who can't control their weight and remain too fat.
I've not once argued in favor of being too thin. All I've stated here is that there is no reason or justification for people to be as fat as they are in this society. When people look at like Booney look at Keely Shaye Smith and say, "She's not obese!" it's because our nation is so sloppy fat that what used to be obese is seen as normal,
And yes, Booney, there are medical conditions like POS, and if you're suffering from that I'm sorry to hear it. But if I had a dime for every fat person who blamed their paunch on "thy
