Social Media: What's Up With Her?

One other big "tell" about what a narcissist she is - she says about her Dad "that's what he is there for, as a witness".  ie. your Dad is only there to watch you do things - that is the attitude of a toddler.  She is a freakin' 400 pound toddler. She is the centre of the universe and everybody in her life only exists to watch her or fulfill her needs.  And the fake crying all the time boo hoo "Avi said I couldn't do this hike" with mascara tears; "boo hoo I am worried about my boo bear losing sobriety because he broke up with Chelsea" quivering lower lip and misty eyes.  I kinda hate myself for watching but I can't help watching this constant train wreck.  I don't understand how anyone can hang out with her ( I guess they are paid) although they are a bunch of total losers all of them.  When Twitney says they are the same as they were at 15, in high school, she is right.

Maybe.... but a friend of mine has a 9 year-old who has more maturity than Pissney.

The more I think of it, the more I like the idea of her on Dancing with the Stars, because I remember now seeing how much and how rigorously they had to practice, or at least the used to.
She wouldn't last an hour.

But would Dancing with the Stars allow a professional dancer and dance instructor like Whitney be a contestant? It'd be so unfair to the other contestants! 😋

I agree completely and I hate that this is one of the only depictions of large women on tv/the media.

I find it really disappointing that so many women in the USA feel like they're too fat to exercise, go to a gym, go out in public, or just too fat to be proud of and accept themselves. 

I'm totally with you on this, and I want to add that there is a dangerous aspect to this, too:  Many large women avoid going to the doctor, even when they are not feeling well, because a) they know they will be weighed and/or b) they dread being told for the zillionth time that they need to lose weight. 

In fact, I wish we would see Whitney go for regular checkups or to visit the doctor for non-plot-driven reasons, like a sore shoulder or a mysterious lesion.

I wish doctors were trained specifically to treat larger women with more sensitivity and respect, so that their patients could receive the healthcare they need and deserve.  Is it really necessary to weigh a patient at every visit?  A sudden, large weight gain or loss is cause for alarm, but if the patient continues to weigh about the same and does not report, when asked, a significant gain or loss, why is it important to track that weight?

And trust me, doctors--and everyone else in the world--women who are overweight already know that they are overweight. It doesn't take medical training to spring this news on them/us.

A sudden, unexplained gain or loss of 15-20 lbs is something I would think a patient would mention--in fact, that kind of change ought to send you to the doctor.  If you've gained weight simply because you've been eating more, you already know why you've gained weight.  If you've lost weight because you're dieting, ditto. 

Many doctors do ask, routinely, if you have had any recent major gain or loss.  And if large women were comfortable enough to see the doctor regularly, the doctor would see that there had been a big change in weight.

This is true but the default of knowing you have to get on a scale no matter what does drive women away from the doctor, and not just morbidly obese women. I am losing weight and much closer to the right weight for me but I still get panicky getting weight in front of people. And in doctor’s offices the scale is out in the open in front of lots of people. They weigh you no matter what. I went to the urgent care because I sliced my finger and needed stitches. My finger is dripping blood and they still wanted me on the scale. I said no and the nurse was completely flustered. I told her if they needed to prescribe drugs that needed a weight I’d come back. It upset her. Why the hell do they need to weigh a bleeding person???? And the reality is that the majority of drugs for standard illnesses, pain etc for adults and a general adult dose that doesn’t require a weight. Those who are very heavy or very thin are visibly so and can be weighed if meds are needed.  Checkups are different but if someone comes to the doctor because they need stitches or have bronchitis etc they don’t need the focus of the appointment to be ‘hey you need to lose 20 lbs’.

The point of my original post was that many fat women do not go to the doctor, even when something is wrong, because they don't want to be weighed and/or lectured (again) about how they need to lose weight.  I said that an unexplained change in weight of course was another matter.  Other than anesthesia, I personally have never had a medication that was prescribed according to weight.  It's true that pediatric medications are often dosed based on weight, but that's not what I'm talking about.  If an adult is getting medicated according to weight, of course that is an exception, and she must be weighed.  In my experience, both as a patient and as a medical assistant, I have never seen an adult patient prescribed an outpatient medication whose dosage is based on weight.

BTW I'm not talking about fat acceptance either.  I'm talking about women already perhaps at risk because of overweight who do not go to doctors when they need to because they do not want to be weighed or told (duh) that they need to lose weight.  If their body size has not changed appreciably since the last visit ("Have you had a recent significant weight gain or loss"), there is no reason to weigh someone who does not want to be weighed at every visit (in fact, when I was overweight, I refused to be weighed except at my annual physical, with no blowback from the doctor).  And trust me, fat people know better than anyone else that they are fat; telling them so is not helpful.  It is particularly not helpful for a doctor to tell a fat person she is fat at every visit because she may well resist coming for medical help when she needs it.

 Many doctors do ask, routinely, if you have had any recent major gain or loss.  And if large women were comfortable enough to see the doctor regularly, the doctor would see that there had been a big change in weight. 

If the patient doesn't weigh herself regularly, she may not know. You may know your pants are a little looser or tighter but you don't know how much you weigh necessarily. Many times patients are surprised by their actual weights. They are also often surprised to see how it has gone up steadily over the years. For example, maybe gaining five pounds in a year feels like no big deal - until you see that you have gained 50 pounds in the past ten years. You can't keep gaining at that pace and stay healthy.

I agree that weights should be done privately but weight is like any other vital sign. I wouldn't take a patient's word for blood pressure, pulse, blood sugar or anything else - and all of those have noticeable effects that a patient could self-report.

Does a patient need to have a weight done for a bleeding finger? Probably not. But what if they give you a medication or a treatment and you have an allergic reaction? Some of the emergency meds they give you would be dosed based on weight (X mg/KG of body weight). It's hard to weigh someone when she has stopped breathing.

There are a lot of excuses people use to avoid a regular check up. None of those excuses should dictate how a physician does a thorough physical. And if people are going to be responsible and proactive about their healthcare, they shouldn't let those excuses stop them from going to a doctor. I'm overweight. I hear about it at every single physical. I suck it up because my doctor is right. I should lose weight. It's her job to tell me that. It's not her job to let me continue to deny the issue by not weighing me.

I am assuming it’s supposed to be a deadlift. Looks more like something designed to hurt your back. It’s her typical ‘race through” whatever it is. It really amazes me that she hasn’t hurt herself with all of this crappy working out.

Since when did she ever do ANY exercise as it's supposed to be done? Seriously. Whether it's squats, skaters, deadlifts, or shoulder press, she's going to do it HER way (ie, incorrectly, the laziest possible way.)

[Hana Chan]

She is going to totally fuck her back up doing lifts that way. All the strain is being taken by her lower back. But as others have pointed out repeatedly, it's just not possible for her to do anything in proper form because of her size. Why her trainer isn't trying to address this is beyond me because sooner or later, she's really going to hurt herself.

I agree with those who think Jessica is a crappy trainer but let’s also remember this is Whitney. No one can tell her anything. Jessica sounds exasperated on this video. A few videos ago she said something about “typical Whitney” when she kept going after Jessica said to stop. At the time I hoped it wasn’t a praise for Whitney pushing herself but now I’m wondering if she meant typical Whitney does whatever the frak she wants.

Because her alleged trainer is a fraud.

Jessica is a garbage trainer and Whitney is a nightmare client. Whitney thinks she knows her body best, but nobody who is a master of their body gets to 400 lb. If Whit had a shred of humility she might be able to learn proper technique, but she doesn't.

Of, not if

[afishcalledwanda]

Refusing to be weighed when requested by a medical professional is just denial pure and simple.  Yes you may already know you are overweight but if you won't let anyone weigh you then you can deny that you are as heavy as you really are and/or deny how much you have been gaining.  And thus continue on with unheathy eating and exercise patterns to your heart's content.  Maybe you don't want to do anything about it but extra weight is the root of many medical problems (high blood pressure which can lead to stroke and heart disease, diabetes and more).  So if a doctor or nurse asks me to step on the scales I do it even though I am overweight.  It is your health that should be the concern not your fragile ego.  Sounds very Twitney to me!

Totally agree.  Jessica is useless and I have never seen her correct Twit's form.  Whitney is going to get hurt - that weird weight lift was a back injury waiting to happen.  And because she never uses proper form she doesn't get any benefit from the exercise either.  Twit is just a faker in everything she does.

Disclaimer (again): I don't actually watch this show, but I read this thread for laughs.

I've gone back several pages looking at Whitney's 'exercise' videos, and I have a question: why do all the exercises seem to be for her upper half? (Maybe this is stuff covered long ago, in which case, sorry). I'm just struck by the fact that so far I don't see anything like treadmills/tread climbers, for example. I would think she'd be interested in building up endurance, given her huffing and puffing.

A reputable trainer would refuse to work with Whitney. Not only has Jessica not done that, she's the one holding the camera for these videos. As long as she participates, she's part of the problem.

But building stamina takes a long time and is haaarrrd. And it doesn't look all flashy and you can't fake your cardio fitness. That puts it right outside Whitney's core competency (pun intended) when it comes to exercise.

A couple weeks ago Whitney posted a video on FB of her on top of a giant rock and she was saying "anyone who thinks I couldn't [do it] can go fuck themselves." And that really explains how she lives her life. She posts all these videos of her "athletic feats" and thinks that should be enough to stop the haters from hating her, that just because she can get through something, that proves her greatness in all areas. No, bitch. There's such a thing as style points, here. I am not impressed by someone who can slog through a mediocre workout literally kicking and screaming. I am impressed by someone who can suck it up, not complain, and do what needs doing like a grownup. Whitney's caterwauling betrays the fact that it is entirely too difficult for her to do these basic, easy-ass things. 

I've been thinking about this since watching the last episode, actually. She posts these short clips on social media where she does these CrossFit workouts with Jessica, and she doesn't complain a bit during them. But the INSTANT she got on that bike, she started screeching and hollering and didn't let up. What's the difference? Why does she put on this grandiose performance of how difficult it is on some occasions, and on others she tries to look all badass and like it's easy? 

[Dot]

@ClareWalks asks above: "What's the difference? Why does she put on this grandiose performance of how difficult it is on some occasions, and on others she tries to look all badass and like it's easy?"

I return to our discussion of her limited dramatic responses: braying, blubbering, shrieking, whining & shock. In MBFFL, she sees herself as an actress, so she relies on her dramatic responses in practically every situation. Rarely does she think she can have a normal conversation in MBFFL without resorting to one of those few responses. ( She ain't no Meryl Streep.)

In her SM videos, she usually acts like a "normal" -- tho deeply flawed -- human being. Sometimes the MBFFL Twit surfaces on SM, however. I think of the screeching while water jetsking, for example.

Indeed, that may have been the first screech. -- maybe that's when she added it to her dramatic repretroire. Anyone remember an earlier example?

And we have noted that the screech response seems to be new to this season, at least in terms of its frequency.
