That's like day 1 weight loss basics. Surely between her Dad's portion efforts, Will's nutrition advice, and plain old Google she should have known this before now. I knew it before now, and I've never even had major weight to lose. I don't know how you go from that lack of awareness to being a personal trainer. Also, I don't see how she's so busy she can't study. Even if she's doing filming and the egg retrieval procedure, that's far from all-consuming. Lots of people take part time classes and still manage to work part/full time, raise kids, have a social life, volunteer, etc. She's had months to study before and after these "busy" times too. At some point you've got to knuckle down and just do it. Ten thousand times yes! Anyone who's used a treadmill knows how few calories you burn in exercise and has checked on "well, how many goddam calories do I need to burn to lose this goddam weight"--But you know what? I can believe that Whitney has kept herself willfully ignorant of the fact that exercise alone is not going to get the fat off her--anything to avoid cutting down on calories. And I *knew* she wouldn't take the test because Whitney *never* follows through on *anything*! She has never taken on a project or anything else and seen it through to the end, never. Will has her number and is the only cast member not afraid to say it out loud. Why in the *hell* anyone would allow her to have a baby? They ought to be charged with ethical violations at the very least. She is fat because she won't--probably doesn't want--to control her eating, and she should never, ever be trusted with a living human being. The cats are OK I suspect only because their requirements are so minimal, but a baby needs more than a scooped-out litter box. Her problem is so clearly emotional/psychological: she needs to find out why she can't continue *anything* to its conclusion. It's obvious she's deathly afraid of failure, but we have to fail at things to learn how to do them--and she's never done that.

However, that is almost always linked to the actual pregnancy. Here Whitney is not planning on having the baby herself. If any of this story was real I would assume she's been told she needs a surrogate because a doctor has explained to her that at her size a pregnancy is dangerous. If she finds doctor willing to impregnate her or a surrogate willing to have the baby, there won't be any way to prevent it on the grounds that she's a narcissistic jerk. That's not a legitimate reason to prevent someone from becoming a parent. Luckily for any potential child, this is all a storyline for the show. I don't believe she even wants to have a kid.

I have some terrible health issues, but I'm a damn good mother. I'm no fan of Whitney, but from a former social worker's perspective she's way above some of the families I worked with: she has a nice home, a strong support system, and the monetary means to ensure that the child will have their basic needs covered (and then some).

You know, it would seem that way, but it's my belief that people who are given in to as children are people who really don't get what they want (and, it seems to me, need). I am sure it doesn't do a kid any good to give her everything she wants--or what she can express as what she wants--but there is something (probably parental attention and/or affection) that she wants but is unable to express and feels she is not getting. I wonder how Whitney was treated as a child--beyond what you describe, which I'm sure is accurate--in terms of time reading with a parent, or cuddling on a parent's lap, or any of the quiet things that go on between parent and child that communicate far more than "spoiling" does that the child is loved and valued. It's my unprofessional opinion that Whitney was praised and rewarded when she succeeded as a child, but maybe not rewarded with hugs and other expressions of love when she failed at something, hence her overpowering inability to risk failure as an adult. She quits anything she tries that she is afraid she might fail at because failure = withdrawal of parental approval (and love). Or so her subconscious tells her. 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122756-s09e08-a-big-fat-disappointment/page/2/#findComment-7048147

She makes her living not from running No BS Active, but from TV. It's the same as the Big Girl's Dance Group - that was a set-up for the show, but I recall at some open-air event, a lot of women turned up for a dance class led by Whitney. So there was a market for it (hell, I'd go to a dance class for larger ladies, as I love to dance but I'm unskilled and self-conscious about my weight), and a potential for her to make an actual business out of it. But that takes work and effort, which she's either incapable of doing, or just too lazy. Everything she does is about self-promotion. Remember the 'ballroom dancing competition' that, fakiest of fakey storylines, Whitney won after about five minutes of practice? I'm sure that was her trying to say to the producers of "Dancing With The Stars" LOOK AT ME!!! to worm her way onto that show. In truth, she wouldn't last a week on DWTS - it's really hard work, practising for several hours a day, which she wouldn't be able to do, not to mention having to take direction and follow choreography from the professional dancer. I bet she'd kill to get on that show, though. 2 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122756-s09e08-a-big-fat-disappointment/page/2/#findComment-7050477

Popular Post Emma C October 9, 2021 Popular Post Share October 9, 2021 Nothing makes a guy jump on a plane faster for a transAtlantic flight to a happenin' city like Greensboro, then his morbidly obese French student, who clearly has an unrequited crush, telling him she's freezing her eggs in the hopes of having a child soon!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Wit has some underlying issues she doesn’t want to share with us. Well, she has super-morbid obesity, for one thing; that puts you at high risk for general anesthesia.

Well, those who were deemed incompetent and/or were wards of the state were involuntarily and often unknowingly sterilized, so it worked very effectively.

Yes, I agree, I also got a weird pregnancy vibe from her throughout the whole process. From the follicle check when her reaction was that of a woman at a pregnancy ultrasound, and then at the retrieval she was in full blown delivery mode. Bizarre. As someone pointed out, dancing seems to be a thing of the past, the closest thing to actual dancing she's done all season was that soft porn-ish poolside group twerk session on the fat girl's weekend trip. So now she & the group are heading to Maine. It would be great if someone who encountered Whit & her barnacles on the road would find this forum, I'd love to get a candid peek into their trips. She's gotta stand out. Especially if she wears that flesh tone bodysuit/ bathing suit again. Yikes! She really is extra obnoxious this season, more rude & snarky than usual, especially to Buddy. Assume he takes her crap because he really needs the money. C'mon pal, pick a career, take some damn training & find a real job. (FYI that's very attractive to a woman). This show ain't gonna last forever, it's on life support now. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122756-s09e08-a-big-fat-disappointment/page/2/#findComment-7051354

In fairness to Whitney, though, there are many reasons why someone under 40 can get them, though: endometriosis of the bowels, ulcers, chronic lower digestive pain, chronic constipation, family history... That said, they've really pulled the plug on her dance "career", haven't they? They're not even trying to pretend that she's still a "dancer" or that she's healthy. The first few seasons laid heavily into the HAES movement and how she could do "anything" a "normal sized" person could do. That whole pretense has been dropped. Are WE the dummies here? We spent an hour watching a mean-spirited woman get a pelvic procedure and then listened as she talked on the phone. She appears to have no job (other than the ignored reality TV one), no social life, no real skills, and few realized prospects, and yet here I am tuning in every week anyway... After that little food fight with Babs, she was out of breath and made the comment that she was out of shape. Probably the most honest statement to come out of her mouth in all of the years she's been on the air. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/122756-s09e08-a-big-fat-disappointment/page/2/#findComment-7051942
