I think it's disgusting presuming that because someone is over weight that they must eat all day long. How uneducated!!!!
I myself struggle with obesity caused through polysytic ovarian syndrome. I eat very little, probably less than most thin people. If I could force myself to eat every 3-4 hours I'd be like a rake but I can't.
To say that Keely is even obese is way off track. Sure she has a LITTLE bit of fat there but she is far from obese. I can't see what the fuss is about....I'm sure she is aware of her body and trust me when you're carting extra kilos you know it! Oh and when you're fat you know that too!
I honestly believe it's God's job to judge not ours and I reckon when it's my turn to meet Him he's not going to send me to hell for being fat ( maybe for other things but not for being fat!)

At first I didn't reconize who it was & then when I heard the name I couldn't believe it. But, still I actually think she looks fabulous. I think she is still a beautiful woman. When I look at a someone's face or I meet someone for the first time & that person is heavy, I don't look at the weight, I look at who the individual is on the inside. And if the person I meet, so happens to be heavy, then SO WHAT. WHO CARES! It's all about who they are on the inside. She looks fabulous.

Victoria, why do you assume everyone is fat? I disagreed with some of what you said and, true to form, you assumed I was fat, too. As an anorexic long distance runner, if anyone should be calling people fat it should be me (tongue-in-cheek response).
Seriously though, you can't assume that just because someone is critical of your opinion means they are fat. You can't know unless they they say they are. I think you like to do that to provoke angry responses--and it works.

Oh, and thanks Jane. It's amazing how wound up people can get over an opinion! I don't take it personally when fat people call me a bitch. So they shouldn't mind it if I call them piggies!
Victoria
February 2nd, 2008 1:39 PM
I love it when detractors prove my point by trying to roll right over those who disagree with you (pun intended).
Joanna, sure a fat person can be happy with themselves. And I suppose in the Apologists Utopia we could encourage them to accept their unhealthy lifestyle and wear their blubbery butts with pride. But why stop there? Drugs are as addictive and food. And deadly, too. But people who get addicted to crack have a great time getting high, so why should we judge them? I mean, aren't they being "true to themselves"
So what if crystal meth makes your teeth fall out and you had to screw that seedy looking guy in an alley to get your last hit of crack. You feel good now, right? Right?
Addiction is addiction folks, and whether you end up overdosing or diabetic, the ends are roughly the same. Whether your drug of choice is oreos or ecstacy, bottom line it's an unhappy and unhealthy lifestyle that costs all of us in the long run.
Fat people know this, and hate to hear it,

Wow Victoria,
What a sad, pathetic little life you must lead if you spend so much of your time writing the most horrific, mean spirited, hurtful, bitchy things about people who struggle with their weight. Your ignorance is obvious and all we can do is sit back and laugh at how utterly pathetic and ridiculous you sound. Take a look in the mirror and figure out what it is on the inside that makes you so ugly...ugly enough to say that fat people are in hell. As for this whole "obesity advocate" thing. I have never heard anyone say, "Yeah go out there and be completely overweight, it so fabulous!" Those of us with a soul and a conscience simply like to encourage those people to be happy with themselves so that they may enter the weight loss battle a little bit stronger and a little bit prouder of themselves for having done so.

Victoria, I think it is time for you to get a life. You really seem like a VERY SAD, UNHAPPY BITCH!! Who do you think you are to sit back and run your mouth about people?? I may not be a size 2, and really don't care to be, but I look damn good in my size 10 jeans and proud of it. So get over yourself. Better be careful how you run your mouth about others cause Karma can be a real BITCH!!!

For all of you so-called expert personal trainers out there referring to this as "unhealthy and obese" go back to your textbooks. although she is heavier than what would be considered "ideal" she is FAR from OBESE.!!!!!
and whoever wrote "she can afford to get help"... sounds like YOU need help. I think being comfortable with the NATURAL aging process and having a positive self image is soooo much better than all the disgusting UNHEALTHY size 0 bulimic bitches in hollywood. Besides, No one is stopping to figure in the fact that she's ALWAYS been a curvacious woman; check the 2001 wedding pics, she's probably a D cup even at her lightest weight. I think she's beautiful. besides.. I dont hear anyone making comments on Peirce's little beer belly here LOL

Say what you want, and you will cause you're a loose cannon clearly, I am a size 2 (hand to the Bible), and while I think Keely looks (and is) overweight, she is still pretty and does not deserve to be smeared by the press. You might also want to note that rather than spending her time bashing people on blogs because she is lonely and pathetic, she is romping on a beach with her gorgeous, famous husband who loves her. You, while I'm sure terribly thin, are also just plain terrible...and my guess is that no one has loved on your raggedy ass for some time. Skinny doesn't = beautiful, plain and simple.

I'm with Helen on this. Perhaps she's bigger b/c of a medical condition - really none of our business. Regardless of her weight/health/her own issues you have to admire someone who says "to hell with it" and does what she wants in a bikini. We should all have that confidence.
Pierce Brosnan seriously rocks and is a decent guy (from what I've read). It wouldn't suprise me if he doesn't care about her weight.
Go ahead: Bash away!

You're a bitter person. So Keely (and other overweight people) are "fatties"? What if Pierce had married a non-gorgeous woman. Would she be an "uggo" or some other epithet calling her ugly? How great that you're perfect, thus can cast your infinite wisdom upon the wretched masses that aren't you.
It's not your business if she is or isn't fat. It's not mine either. It's her business, and that of the people in her life. Weight issues are a terrible struggle whether it's obesity or anorexia, or somewhere in between. It's just sad that you (and people like you) look at her and only see pounds. You don't see that she's a wife , a mother, a celebrated champion of the environment. She stepped in and helped Pierce and his son rebuild their lives after the death of their wife/mother. You also don't know the catalyst of her weight gain. Perhaps it's not just poor eating habits. Maybe she's got a health issue that needs addressing. Maybe she's peri-menopausal and is struggling wi

Wow! What possessed her to put on a bikini? Is she insane? I, also, am an overweight (not nearly this bad though)middle-aged woman, and I have enough sense to realize that everyone else does NOT want to be subjected to the horror of the sight of my fat ass in a bikini. No, I don't have body-image issues or hate myself, I just have enough self-respect to not do something so ridiculous and make myself a public laughingstock.
Helen
January 31st, 2008 10:32 AM
Did anyone stop to think there may be another reason she is over weight? I know that I have gained 35 pounds in the last month and it's not from stuffing my pie hole. It's from meds I have to take if I want to live. Do I like being this big? NO! But there is nothing I can do about it and maybe she is facing the same thing. Those of you who think that we are big cause we eat too much are really [I don't wan't to say stupid] but you're stupid. I don't even eat junk food. So the next time you want to put someone down because they are big should pray to God that they never have to take meds that will make them big.

You're right that here are more fat than anorexic people. You're right for sure. Anorexia is a disease that affects only about 1% of the population. Having said that, it's also the most lethal mental illness and one of the most difficult disorders to recover from. Anorexics are anorexic for life.
And you're right that there is a healthy in between (I'm so messed up now that the healthy in-between seems fat to me and I'm afraid to even be there). You can still tell people they need to take action and lose weight without being mean about it, though. One nasty comment thrown at someone might kill them. That's my only worry (it almost happened to actress Tracey Gold). I'm stuck with anorexia and used to promote it--for a while, I was pro-ana and even meaner than you (EVERYONE was fat to me). Now, the last thing I want to do is cause someone else to fall into the same fear-filled hole I'm in.
Anyway I agree with you. I just didn't like the way you expressed it. The wrong words could

Obesity - not anorexia - is one of the biggest health issues facing this country, and it's seeing an alarming increase among our youth.
When someone chimes in and implies that anorexia is somehow the end road of weight loss is not just irresponsible but ridiculous.
It strikes me as ironic that those wringing their hands over how the "obsession with weight" can lead to anorexia are so willing to dismiss the fact that obesity advocates and/or apologists are providing people the excuse to continue to stuff their faces.
If the body image issue were as dangerous as you say, why are there more fat kids today than thin ones? It would appear that those encouraging people to "be happy with themselves" are winning - to the detriment of our bloated youth. So congratulations, guys. Good work. As I said, misery loves company and now you have a whole new generation of fat people to join you at the table.
But is this really a surprise? I think not given our culture, and Keely is

Hey Angela,
Thanks for the encouragement....and I don't typically get snippy about being anorexic and thinner than someone unless that someone has pushed my buttons by acting superior herself.
It's difficult to want to recover because even though media and culture appears to be critical of too-thin celebrities, they don't seem to be as cruel as when they report on some overweight celeb. When you're too thin, it's like "look, the poor thing is wasting away". Too fat and "She's really let herself go, the slob".
Victoria, despite the comment that you're 'sympathetic' with some fat people who struggle, your choice of words and presumptuous remarks (like someone dribbling crumbs on her keyboard as she typed) leads me to believe otherwise. Look, I agree with much of what you wrote--overweight can be unhealthy, unattractive and should not be 'promoted'. But you're outright mean about it and there's no purpose for that other than to insult and hurt others. The fact that you chose to expre

Wow! Not trying to be rude, but it sounds like many of you have some issues yourself. (Who cares what size you are, and who is skinner than who!) It is about being healthy that matters!! I don't think anyone is trying to be an obesity advocate here. When the site said that Keely is being true to herself, I think it means that she is dealing with current situation in a confident positive manner. Just because she looks the way she does, does not mean she has to cover herself every inch of her body up and hide. I'm sure she was just trying to have a nice fun day with her family, just like the rest of us in the world. I can bet that she is not completely happy with herself, and I can also bet again that she will not be at this weight the rest of her life. People change! Also, who says that she hasn't struggled with an eating disorder which can be just as serious as diabetes or cancer?
