I thought it was Dog the Bounty Hunter. He can't sing either and wears a badge

Well, again, as a former obese girl...let's just change the title to "My Big Fat Fabulous Funeral"!!! I've been big. I've been obese. I knew though, I needed to chose either health or comfort. I needed to take responsibility for my life. I realized that I couldn't continue down the same path and think I could have it all. Wake the hell up Whitney. Very soon, your friends will be right, and we'll be posting on the "My Big Fat Fabulous Funeral" site. How dare you put yourself out there as a model for young women. How dare you??? You are (pre) diabetic, have cardiac issues and are not able to show others you can do a healthy cardiac exercise for even 30 mins. You are honestly are just holding those of you that love you as hostage. They either support you or lose you. Sadly, they may do both. To continue to enable you and your choices will certainly mean they lose you in the long run. There is NO SIMPLE or HONEST way to say this. You are NOT a role model. Your actions mean mean NOTHING. You are simply a huge girl, who at one time, had moves, but who now wants to do what they want when they want and collect $$$$$ doing so. STOP SAYING YOU ARE THE FACE OF BODY SHAMING !!!! YOU ARE NOT!!!! You do not speak for the overweight. You are simply an overweight women with plenty of excuses and you need to stop thinking you are a standard for anyone. Finally TLC. ...STOP making this women example....STOP holding her up as ANY example.....either positive or negative. The example she is, is that of a woman full of excuses. One who will never take responsibility or ownership for being in the position she's in. Her friends know it. Her family knows it. Unfortunately they will be Whitney's victims and hostages. Her action today, and going forward, will define their future. They shouldn't take responsibility for her poor decisions. Please, please hold Whitney responsible for her own poor choices. DO NOT GIVE HER ANOTHER YEAR OF WHITNEY DELUSION.

OMG. I've lurked long enough. I had to join these forums just to post because I'm so fed up with Whitney's attitude. I don't claim to know it all, but I was a big girl and I did lose 130lbs. I did it by owning up to the fact that only I could take control of my weight, and blaming any one or any medical "condition" was just a way to avoid taking any form of responsibility. I admit, it took me some time to work on my weight issues, but I did. Even though it took me some time though I NEVER EVER, blamed anyone for my issues, nor did I see myself as a victim. I am so very, very tired of listening to Whitney play the victim and whine because people are mean to her. I totally bought into her "No Body Shaming" movement and still believe it's wrong to discriminate because of one's size. I don't though, for one second, believe that is Whitney's issue. Whitney is all about playing the victim and wants to do only what she wants when she wants it. She has no intention of doing the work to make herself healthy. It's easy to say "I can do anything a "skinny" person can" but when you can't, stop blaming anyone else. Take a hard look, even her best friends are saying the same thing. She showed nothing but disrespect to her trainer. He showed her far more respect than she did him. I wish Whitney only the best, but until she expects that of herself, she can't expect the respect of others
