    People don’t want to date her, it’s fat shaming.  She doesn’t want to date fat guys, it’s some sort of personal preference.  Has anybody seen anymore of the new NOBSACTIVE videos.  The last one was pretty horrendous just wondering if the improved. Many pics of Heather on SM for her birthday!

     

    That is what is fascinating to me about many women in the fat positivity/ acceptance movements. Many will typically NOT try to date a man their own size. They will say it is because the sex would be difficult because you need one to be smaller or something along those lines. They will post pictures of an obese woman drawing being held by a classically good looking/build man and say that men should love them for who they are... but it begs to question why are they not drawn to men who share their same lifestyle of obesity?

    I still have about 40 lbs to lose - so I am still obese although definitely pass for just overweight. I stay very active, I watch my food intake, I work out... I can't fathom being with a man whose life revolves around sedentary activities and food. My boyfriend and I spend a significant amount of time training for rifle matches, playing golf, playing frisbee golf, hiking, skiing in the winter, etc. Neither one of us would be attracted to someone who cant ski, cant easily handle a brisk 2.5 - 3mile dog walk daily, hike, golf, etc. The reality Whitney is trying to delude herself in is that even with a wonderful personality most people do not want a partner who is so completely divergent from them in their interest and activity levels.

    Whitney is hung up on people knowing she has a sex life because she doesn’t have a sex life. No one who have a normal, healthy, adult sex life feels the need to scream it at the top of their lungs. No one with a healthy sexual relationship with someone they claim they are going to marry goes postal on some old encounter until they admit they had sex years ago. No one cares. 
    Now personally I think Whit’s lack of sex life is more about her personality than her weight. In fact I think it’s  distance third behind her personality and her self admitted poor hygiene. But for all of her ‘I have so much sex’ claims she is just a woman who doth protest too much. 

    This. 


    Whitney so desires for others to truly believe that she is fabulous and has everything she could want. That her size is not a detriment at all. People declaring how much sex they have is to convince the rest of us of just how desirable they are. 


    The reality is that at her size most men are going to either be just as obese, just wanting to bang ANYONE, or they have a fetish. With her in the public eye she may just very well also attract users seeking their own fame or money.  
     
    An average sized guy is not going to find her appealing. She clearly doesn’t care about her health not in a way that actually makes her wish to change herself. 


    I know a girl a similar size she shares her dating or attempts at dating stories. The only real responses she gets are fetish seekers or guys who think she is so desperate they can bang her within an hour of meeting. It’s pretty bleak.

    I guess when I said I didn’t believe the dating app thing, I meant I  I believed they met on the app but never believed he was interested in her as a date, but didn’t think he tricked her into to the business.  More like this is why we’d be a good team and Whitney starry eyed over any man would interact with her said yes and the fact she could make money made it a real thing.  I do think Ryan comes off as arrogant sometimes, but none of them are winners.  I haven’t  seen enough of his behavior and I look at his SM, but mostly just look at his dog pictures.  I think they’re all opportunistic, in one way or another, but it’s probably easier for him because he doesn’t really know her.  Unless he lied on the dating app to her, 
    I don’t think he’s wrong trying to ride his 15 mins of fame because that’s pretty much what they are all doing.  
     

    Now Chase I’m curious about, did a Ryan pick this friend, did he get out a book of his Bros for Whitney to peruse?  

    No doubt. My boyfriend never watched the show but he knew of her. So Ryan May have seen the opportunity and swiped right.

    @Irate Panda, in the SM thread, you asked me: "why do you think Ryan is conniving?"

    I don't have a good answer for you; it's more a feeling than anything I can express. He rubs me the wrong way. I think he is pompous & way too full of himself. I am suspicious of his being on call for Twit 24/7 -- real friendship or opportunity for more camera time? I vote for the latter since I see him as opportunistic as well as pompous & conniving.

    And that characteristic can be seen in the way he inveigled his way onto MBFFL. I know some of you don't believe Ryan & Twit met on a dating app. I absolutely do believe it. He saw her, knew she has a TV show, pretended an interest so he could get a date, turned on the charm -- doesn't take much for Twit to be charmed by any male -- and the next thing is a prominent role on a reality show. Excepting Twit, he had the most amount of time on the first 2 episodes. Pretty good going there, Ryan.

    I am sure he did.

    My boyfriend showed me her on Tinder or Bumble - I can't remember which one. It was before he and I were exclusive - and he knew I watched the show so he saved it to show me *lol*

    I found it interesting that she had her mileage range set pretty far - we are near Raleigh.

    I swear this was around... summer of last year

    Her whole speech about eating "whole, organic foods" is part of what I mean. It's better to eat things that are not as processed, yes. It is not intrinsically better if those things are "organic" versus "conventional" farmed. And Jessica denies this, but calories do matter. The biggest concern I have with her on the show is that the wrong and incomplete information is going to get followed by someone watching it and they're going to get injured.

    This makes me irate. Calories MATTER all the time.

    When I started my weight loss I actually went to a doctor from Duke University he is really big into ketogenic diets, does research on them,  and prescribes them for his patients. He does a wellness clinic. At the time I thought I had to do ketogenic since I had PCOS. I asked him if I needed to count calories. He told me frankly the ONLY time he has patients log food and track calories and prescribes calories is when they fail at losing weight. He explained that the positive part of the keto diet is that generally high fat and moderate protein is so satiating that patients tend to start eating at a calorie deficit and then lose weight. But if those patients still overeat even if on bacon and cheese and whatever.. ultimately if they consume more than they burn then they will indeed not lose weight or gain weight.

     

    Organic is rather hoodoo in my view. I think Jessica in order to still get her check from the show is going to placate Whitney. Whitney is not prepared to really look at her issues in the mirror. Whitney is like many in the fat positive movement - they believe all of the myths that they became obese because of their body's set point, eating at reasonable calories is depriving their bodies from the intuitive eating, nothing is wrong with being obese, they cant eat 1100 calories a day and go into starvation mode and then still gain weight, etc. Like if obese people REALLY ate below 1200 calories a day consistently every day and still gained weight or maintained a weight of 333lbs then NASA needs to study them diligently because it would be a much better way to create power and fuel than any technology we have today.

    Severe irritable bowel, severe kidney disease, heart issue and one other thing. I know he's getting one shot a day.  I wasn't clear if that's steroid for inflammation or for diabetes. She didn't say diabetes though.  I know some cats who need shots for that.  She said that he ate like crazy, but, still lost weight. My good friend's cat did that and he died soon thereafter. 

    I think they were thinking it was more of IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) or small cell lymphoma. They present the same way but the ONLY way to see which one the cat has is to do the sample from the small intestines. I had a cat who had probable IBD (he was also diabetic) but he was too frail and elderly that I would not put him through the sample. The first shot at treating small cell and IBD is predinsolone which is a daily med. I am guessing MAYBE she can give it as a shot but not sure. My little old man lived as a diabetic for 12 years (yes that requires 2x daily insulin shots and blood testing - he would let me test his left ear). Most likely his IBD changed into small cell lymphoma which later took him. By that time I only did palliative care since he was tired of constant hospitalizations and medications.

    If Henchi had an aggressive cancer such as large cell - he would already be dead unless he went through the platinum care of a CHOP chemo protocol (26 weeks with various chemo drugs). I have another cat who did CHOP for over 30 weeks.. she was VERY fortunate as her lymphoma presented within a day in her lymph nodes under her jaw. Some cats do well with CHOP - my little girl has been in remission for 2 years - many die within months and the vast majority get an extra 6-9 months of life. I am sure if he had had that we would have heard all about it. Some folks who may not be as fortunate to do CHOP can do a daily oral chemo but the outcomes are not as positive.

  7. The PCOS thing gets on my last nerve.

    I also have PCOS although mine is in remission (no signs of cysts, my symptoms of are significantly controlled, I do not take meds, etc).

    It infuriates me how so many obese women blame PCOS for all of their ills. We don't know the full connection of what comes first - obesity or PCOS but we know they are related.

    You know what helped me more than any other med? Losing weight.

    At my highest I was 290. I am now 200. Has it been a cake walk to lose weight? No. But it is possible. What PCOS does do is it can make you insulin resistance, it can lower your metabolic rate, but it does NOT put the fork up to your mouth. 

    I had my resting metabolism tested and I was shocked when I found out my metabolism was ONLY 150-250 calories less than the anticipated level (based on the various formulas out there). Mine is now normal.

    I stopped going on kept, whole 30, vegetarian, or any other kind of I WILL LOSE WEIGHT diet and I signed up for a program via Stronger U where I had macro coaching. Easiest "diet" I have been on in my life. I don't eat low carb, I eat just balanced macros. On holidays I don't track really but I immediately go right back to my plan and I have been doing this on my own for a year. 

    The reality Whitney is you drink too much, you don't take into account every lick and bite, and you are delusional if you think you don't eat enough. You are not a miraculous example of a miracle of not following the laws of thermodynamics. You eat more than you burn - whether it is mostly booze or coffee drinks or hiding in your house when the cameras are not there. You binge probably (Hell I will if I put certain foods in my house) and are deluded with just how much you consume.

    Guess what? I lose weight at a normal clip now, I don't have cysts, my hair stopped falling out, my skin is vibrant, I don't have tons of hair growing in the wrong places.. I am not even close to being prediabetic or resistant.. and even at 42 my GYN wants me on birth control as she feels I am pretty damn fertile at this point.

    My theories are two fold.. a reverse body dysmorphic disorder where you don't see yourself as that bad.. and I suspect there could be a physical component that makes weight gain take major jumps.  Like when she had the tater tot casserole. 14 lbs? I know she said she binged on other things but 14 lbs is a lot to put on.  I think she said she gained 100 lbs in a year.  You also have to admit that once you get over a certain lbs it is likely useless to try and diet on your own so they might just keep going not really knowing what to do.

    I think it doesn't help that there is a push now to normalize obesity. You can be fierce gurl... even if 250+ lbs. I am in awe (and I say that as someone who is obese) that people think they get to obesity on their own and they are NOT eating an excess of calories.

     

    The amount of "fatlogic" that occurs daily makes it clear to me that sometimes when these people get to a certain point it is way beyond their control. I have an acquaintance who had to retire early from her job because being a SSBBW is not sustainable. She doesn't *get* that her addiction is just as horrible as another vice she overcame many years ago. While her mobility was suffering (and continues) she was considering surgery but she snapped out of those thoughts and doesn't think she has a real problem. Meanwhile she struggles to do many basic household things - she is always asking for some help from folks who may need some extra money to help her with decluttering, cleaning, etc. 

     

    When in reality I would love to be like.. no honey, humans don't get to over 450-500lbs by having slow metabolisms, PCOS, thyroid issues and the human body is not meant to hold that weight. 

    God forbid if you say anything to people then you are fat shaming, etc. What I find interesting i the HAES world is that as they begin to age... they disappear because lets be real nothing says "healthy" when you are full of arthritis and becoming increasingly more immobile.

    Yes, but she's probably at least 200 pounds lighter than Whitney and, at a guess, not in her mid-thirties. But her weight is still taking a toll on her technique. If that was supposed to be a grand jete, she's very low to the ground and her legs should be much further apart. Most ballet students train their legs to over-split (stretch beyond 180°) just so that they can hit the split while leaping.

    Agreed. She can dance mediocrely for a ballet student her age and years of practice.

     

    If she were a normal dancer's weight, she would be unknown and ignored and considered like any other middle school - high school chick taking dance lessons. Because she is fat? It makes her "special" but in reality the technique is mediocre.

    With the current turmoil in Egypt it skews perceptions but there are plenty of wealthy people in Egypt and Nada's family is almost certainly among them. Also a lot of non-native speakers of English learn British English but it's not THAT rare for people to choose to learn American English. It's entirely possible that Nada attended an American school in Egypt and was fully immersed in American English for most of her life.

     

    Agreed. I have an Egyptian friend (who now works and lives in Paris) and his English is almost flawless. Much like Nada he has a very subtle accent; he has never lived in the US or any English speaking country. His family comes from quite a bit of wealth and he always had a stellar education, lots of international travel opportunities, and many tutors. 

  11. I think the trade deal can mean a few different things and not necessarily that they are going to "remove" the current handmaids and send them to Mexico but rather help Mexico to start their own program this could even mean helping suss out those women in Mexico who need to be sent to Gilead to be "trained" to be a handmaid. It would help Mexico not do their own dirty work.

    Whoa - Whit is developing one of those hips that you see on 600 lb people - the kind where they pull back the sheet to show some weeping mess and say, "They tell me this is really bad, but I can't see it. The drainage really smells, though."

    Uh unlike the people on My 600 lb Life, Whitney has a dancing career though

    Seems as uf just being in Whitney's orbit will cause weighy gain.

    Actually, there are studies that show the more you hang out with those who drink too much, those who overeat, you tend to also start replicating their behaviors.

    I have a friend who is very obese and REALLY overeats. I always end up eating more when I am around her, there is passive "peer pressure". Ironically my behaviors don't tend to rub off on her even when i try to encourage her to go on hikes, come to spin with me, get out of the house or do other activities other than going to restaurants and eating.

    Babs looks great! Heather looks good. Buddy needs help - someone get him out of there! Twit looks huge and has on WAY too much make-up, especially around the eyes. And what is that she's wearing? A garbage bag? A tarp? What?? Why am I even WATCHING THIS???

    Poor Roy. He looks SO uncomfortable being in front of the camera and really self-conscious the way he keeps tugging at his shirt. (Note that even on the episodes, he's usually in the corner behind the desk/counter). Add to that the horror of having to sit next to Twit (at least she's wearing SHOES this season!). I hope they gave him a big, fat, fabulous bonus check! Dayum!!

    Twit is "hetero-flexible"?? I think Todd nailed that one on the head: she's so affection-starved/addicted she'll take it where she can get it!

    The train-wreck continues... 

    Roy bless him looks like he has packed it on as well. I hate it for him, I know I sure as heck would not want to be on this show

    Wow!  That x-ray is about what my right knee looked like before I had my knee replacement.. I was 63 at the time.  Knee replacement surgery is not fun. Her continued fat fabulous life is going to destroy the cartilage in her "good" knee also and she will hardly be able to walk much less attempt to dance. 

    Or her opposite hip. My mom has a knee that is worse than Whit's and her opposite hip has given out due to the amount of stress put on it to basically be lame. She has about 25 more lbs to lose before surgery for the hip first. Then the knees.

    Whit can't wear fucking shoes, do you think the professional dancer/choreographer Whit thinks that anything she can't do is relevant to being a professional dancer?

    Whit does not run a dance class, she runs Zumba for super morbidly obese people.

    This episode really made the teacher in me angry. I know that her BGDC is fake, but if Whitney is upset that Jiya and the Jenji brought hostile and snarky vibes into the normally feel-good and non-competitive atmosphere of the class, then it's her job as the teacher to step up and address it. No Whitney, you are not in a "tough spot". You are the leader of the group, and if someone comes in and starts insulting your students or making them uncomfortable, you need to take that person outside and set clear boundaries regarding how they address the class. It's not up to Todd to defend the students, it's up to YOU to set an appropriate tone, and to remove anyone who does not respect it. I would never allow a guest to speak to my students the way Jenzi did. I don't care how many "celebrities" he's worked with (were those real people Whitney listed?). It's bad enough that she proclaims to be a dance teacher who doesn't know anything about choreography (her words) and can't do half the dance moves herself, but now she's signed them up for dance battle with a group that is way more advanced than them, to save her own pride, despite the fact that she keeps saying that she has no idea what a dance battle is. I know that's a lie, and she know full well what it is, but her claim of ignorance makes her look even stupider- why would she get suckered into volunteering her whole class for something if she had no idea what it entailed? This whole plot line is maddening.

    The names I heard her spout are all D list or lower. Nia Frazier is from Dance Moms.

    I would tend to think it's "real" in the same way the dance class is "real".  The producers get to film her doing funny/outrageous/weird things at the radio station and create some sort of storyline for Twit, and the radio show gets some exposure to an audience that might not have known about it before.  And Manny, Roy and LauRen get some tv facetime and a few extra dollars from TLC.  Everyone walks away a winner!  She's called an "intern" and "free-lancer" so that the radio station doesn't have to pay her and create 1099s and W-2s for her.  And since Tal's family owns the station, it's all kept "in family".

    Just because the radio station is part of media group named Beasley (they have radio stations in 8 states) does not mean that it is owned by Todd's family. I doubt that his family is the owners of that media group.
