Trying on for size?

Was it the second or third season where her car kept breaking down and she kept calling Glen to rescue her? Until Babs made her go car shopping? We got to see Whitney squeezing herself into a tiny sports car.  Between the look on the salesman's face and the look on Babs' face as Whitney wedged herself under the steering wheel that disappeared from view completely under her bulk, there was nothing to choose from -- they both had identical faces of horrified amusement.

Whitney, however, did look as if she'd be wearing the car home on her rear end, if and when she finally managed to get her feet out of the car and back on the ground.

It was so mean of TLC to show this only in one of the extra-fat episodes. I've never seen it & ever since y'all posted about it, I have forced myself to watch the extra-fat episodes. Which means a double dose of Twit ever week that I can't say I'm happy about. I wish they'd just include all the action in the one episode by reducing the amount of TH. Rarely does Twit say anything in those of any interest.

There was one fake episode where the SUV started puffing white smoke from the engine bay.

 

Of which, never happens.  Cars puff steam, but that's water, it can puff grey/black smoke, and that's all the rubber bits on fire, but white fluffy smoke?  That's stage fog.  I can't remember the episodes, but I guess that one was a set up for the car shopping.

I wonder if Dr. Now Could help her, she's super resistant to change. All her proclamations of how awesome she is seem like she's trying to Speak it Into Existance. Is the Truth Dead?

[OnceSane]

This conversation has veered off-topic.  Please stick to discussing actual social media; discussion about past seasons belongs in the episode threads or in Whitney's individual thread.  Thanks.

[TaylorTalk]

What did Whitney do to get on the FA black list?  She wants to be fat, doesn't want to lose weight, and although she exercises, she can hardly be one for 'healthism'.

 

The only thing I can think of is that she's ableist?

[Nancypants]

Ableist?

[ClareWalks]

A meaningless screed about "confidence" from our favorite morbidly obese person. It's amazing how people still believe that Whitney is so confident, since she is so easily "shamed" by random strangers calling her fat. If someone yelled "you're fat" at me on the street, I would laugh. Whitney wells up with tears and talks about how shamed she feels.

[Nancypants]

She's so ARTICULATE.

[Tosia]

That's why is called My Big Articulate Life", as the evil comedienne said on the show.  Mwhahhahahaha!!!!!!

Great response/observation, Clarewalks, abt Twit's  "confidence".  

NBS?  Twit wants it both ways. ..confidence and pity.  Boo hoo.

 Can't have your cake and eat it too.  Well, maybe you can, Twit,  as we saw you eat multiple cakes, but you don't like cake, so... you forced it down??????  Poor thing.

Bless your heart.

Whit seems to have confused confidence with not having any dignity, if she had confidence she would be crying about how she is alone, or in her car eating ice cream, or being afraid of being upstaged with the Fitness Marshall or losing the fake dance battle or all her other stuff and she also wouldn't do half the other stuff she does to be famous/make excuses/pocket some money.

If that would actually happen. If it does, it rarely happens.  I think what really happens, like Chrissy Metz character in "This is Us" is that they take whatever tiny morsel they can and turn it into a shaming narrative that they can retell to themselves to affirm the 'I wouldn't have a problem being fat if people stopped shaming me for it. My joints are fine."

I'll admit it.  I look into people's grocery carts and make judgements.  I think that's fair, and completely different from judging what people eat when they go to an ice cream shop or to a restaurant or buffet.  When I see people out, I'm only seeing ONE meal.  When I see a persons grocery cart stuffed to overflowing with processed cream/sugar/fat everything, while I stand and look at my 3 heads of cabbage, gallon of milk, and bunch of bannanas, I'd like to think that I can make an inference on what a person would be eating for what I hope would be at least a week.

Excellent point. On Whitney's show, whenever it's happened it's been clearly scripted, and she STILL looks genuinely upset (she's not a great actress). I have seen so many women posting "people were staring at me today, it's obviously BECUZ IM FAT" when really they were staring because the chick has bright purple hair and is wearing a unicorn costume.

[LivinLovinLife]

Her FB account says she's in the middle of filming her 5th season. Seems as though she's coming back for real. I'd hoped she'd go away quietly or at least just go away.

I'll admit.  I stare.  I'm fascinated by delusion. Especially when it someone in pain clearly insisting that it's normal.

 

An oldie but a goodie.

Why was she dressed as a penguin?

Because it goez with her waddle.

[Nacho]

What did I tell you.....WHAT DID I TELL YOU!!!! There she goes bitching  about Columbus Day. We just had ANOTHER major shooting in Vegas, and this dingbat has time to only address Columbus Day. Seriously? That is what gets this one hot and bothered? Mind boggling.

It is now officially her Job to be a deplorable fool. Congratulations, Whitney, You have finally found something you are good at! (Slow Clap)

It's all fake, just like everything else she's been showing us. Truly confident people admit what scares them, they're more open about their faults and fears. They address them head on. That might seem counter-intuitive, but typically the biggest braggarts (the ones who shouldn't not be bragging) have very low confidence. 

Twit isn't confident. She's a big faker. I'd have some respect for her if she'd show some real feelings, admit she's got confidence issues and be real with us. But the Faker Train rolls on.

She and Glen were running in the 5K Tuxedo Trot, an annual fundraiser by the Greensboro Science Center for a project they are doing to save endangered African penguins. They encourage the runners to wear costumes, because it's intended as a family-friendly fun run, rather than a serious race.

[Ketzel]

A day or two ago, Whitney posted on Facebook that her menstrual overflow had ruined her favorite flowered leggings.

Today she posted that she takes 20mg of Prozac daily, has been seeing a therapist weekly for 2 years, and is " not ashamed to struggle with depression (and some anxiety too)! Mental illness is real & taking care of your mental health is important."

She says she wants to be more interactive and share more on social media. She says it's very difficult to have her whole life* laid bare on a television show (and she's getting a fifth season! Yay!)  But she still feel she owes it to her fans and followers to be more involved with them.

This may be more Whitney than I am able to cope with, going forward. I guess we'll see when the show starts up again.

 

*You know, that whole life that is only very partially shown, and that she has no control over,  so no one watching really knows what's happening in her actual life-- at least, that's what she claims whenever she gets criticized for her behavior on the show.

And she CLEARLY self-medicates with food, now if only she would friggin' admit that.

Re: ruining her leggings with menstrual blood, WTF. I don't know any women over age 16 that have been taken so unawares by a massive menstrual flow. Change your tampons, Whitney, or are you too fat to do even that?

[LivinLovinLife]

She's had more professional and family support than any 33 year old I've ever run across. The hypocrisy and immaturity that she demonstrates is beyond the pale.

I'm willing to give her a pass on the getting caught unawares/unprepared for the overflow because really erratic periods seem to be a part of her PCOS (though I'm basing that solely on her less-than-credible testimony so - BIG grain of salt there)... BUT - at what age did you learn how to clean your clothes so as not to have them be ruined by accidents of this nature?? Or doesn't she do laundry at all. Ever. Having said all that, I'm pretty sure that the real reason is just sheer laziness on Twit's part. Or stupidity. Or both. ***shudder in horror***

Good point! I actually considered that possibility, that she just didn't know her period was coming, but it was referred to as "overflow" so I assumed she had some sort of sanitary napkin catching it. And I have already way overthought this, LOL :-P

[LivinLovinLife]

WHY post about it?!? I usually feel like I need a shower after I watch her, now I REALLY need one. Geez

[Ketzel]

Sorry for traumatizing you, LivinLovinLife.  I guess I just needed to share the misery. (Mine, not hers.)

I agree, that's how I took it, because honestly we are all doing the Lord's work here by reporting such "highlights" so nobody else has to venture to her page full of Nit-Whits ;) 

[Tosia]

So, this new season is going to show us what?  

As many of you have pointed out her past phony relationship story lines,  fake workouts/dances, and inability to do many activities, what's left?  

I FLOVE  all your ideas for new plots, because I imagine that they're MUCH  better than what we will see. 

Seriously,  Twit's life is fucking Boring, without a real job, attemots toward healthy habits, a real relationship, or goals to work toward.  

I would much rather see a series of big women who ARE ACCOMPLISHING something like the big yoga woman (women), fashion designers, activists, leaders,  writers,  artists, etc....True stories of inspiration v. Twit's depressing emotional and physical failures. 

[Nancypants]

Please God no more fucking "Dance Battles" . There is no such thing. Also no more fake lesbianism or animal cruelty (horse).

I wasn't quite sure,-  and I was at least a little ashamed of passing on that particular image! :-)  Thanks for the reassurance!

[LivinLovinLife]

Hi Ketzel, no no I wasn't responding to you. It was Whitney I was referring to. No trauma from you!

[TurtlePower]

Ok so, mentrual overflow (gag), Prozac and depression/anxiety to sum all this new stuff up. Didn't she once claim NOT to have this kind of mental illness? Feeling a little confused. 

But truth be told I'd rather see a more "real" version of her than we've previously been shown. That would definitely up my empathy towards her as long as she's not a perpetual asshole to other people. 

Part of me, however, feels like she just posts that stuff to get "awww poor Whitney" responses. I have PTSD and anxiety, so do lots of people, and most of us refrain from fishing for electronic hugs from everyone on social media.

Oh dear.  Just had a horrid thought.  Do you suppose that changing Twit's tampon is another of Donna's jobs?  There is not enough money in the world....

I’m pretty sure if we send her a napkain soaked in pizza grease she’d think it’s the best thing ever.

[alabetser]

The leggings thing is gross, why would she post that? I've had accidental overflows too (somedays no matter how much you plan, leaks happen), but I know to wear dark bottoms those days and do laundry quickly. Even if it did ruin a good item, it's not really something the world needs to know.

Oh lord. How many times this season do you think we'll hear the words "dance career"?

And what, pray tell, will come of this "class"? Why, Whitney will either: Be "invited" to a fake event or fake competition.   Where she will endeavor to fake win.

Years from now (OK, or maybe weeks), a participant will be able to say, "I studied dance under the great Whitney Thore."
