Did you see the talk show yesterday about how women are trying to get "fat"?

No, but its one thing to be pleasantly plump and be morbidly obese. "Here honey, eat another 2 pints of Ben and Jerry's, because of love"(??)

I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion.  I thought she looked great. I can't imagine that Jenny Craig company would allow their spokesperson to blatently lie, its' bad business for them.  On the flip side i think it was a tacky display, but if she's proud of herself then what the heck.  I do agree with you though, she definatly couldn't have been 220 ,  i'd guess closer to 270, was her starting point.  She looks great, but like a 200 pound healthy, fit woman, not someone in their 140's.

It's really sad, isn't it?  I don't know if it could get reversed...do you remember the Dove advertising campaign where they used women who were not skinny-anorexic, but rather women who were both average and plus size? Well a lot of people were angered by that and preferred to see the anorexic models rather than the overweight ones.  I think, unfortunately, we have all become accustomed to this negative ideal physique.  I hope it can get reversed!

I don't know maybe the old fashioned way or surgery. Either way she looks GREAT!!! I was shocked to see her on the show and yeah its good to see the daughter back, they made a joke about her having an eating disorder but it got corny when they kept on doing it.

I have seen women ask questions the other way round - they want to make bigger and you smaller. Think again and rephrase the question for us to answer.

This hot-headed girl trying to run on a treadmill for what seemed to be the first time.  She gave some guy an attitude when he tried to help her get it started, so he left and she ventured to start it without being ready and slid right off.\n\nAbsolutely funny!

Ha ha it's funny. I just met a woman at the sushi place today, she said she was treating herself because two years ago she lost 130 pounds on a disciplinary weight watchers program, counting calories, exercising everyday and all. I was shockingly impressed! She could have carried me on her back no problem! Seemed peaceful and happy. Said her life has never been the same since.

That's a funny one...yet quite thought provoking.  I think her secret is that only skinny people can wear her clothes.  Think about it.  You don't see any fat people in the catalouges.

How about pretend that the 4 women are on a talk show (one being the host) on the subject of menopause. As the questions are being asked and answered (actually educating the audience while acting) , have all the women including the host display various symptoms i.e. sweating and fanning, crankiness, crying, tiredness,etc.-you get the picture. Don't have all the women stay in the same character of symptoms though...have them keep changing. For example, you could have the host ask woman 1 what body changes she has experienced and woman 1 could yell at the host are you calling me fat?,etc. Then woman 2 could start crying asking why do we have to fight like this or something. Woman 3 could be fanning herself and ask the host does the A/C work in here, but the host has dozed off...have everyone keep changing and playing off each other. It's hard to explain what's in my head, haha hopes this makes sense!

yeah, i definetely agree with you.  people nowadays are just too lazy to actually watch what they're eating...that's why everyone is getting fat.  I wish it was required to learn about how saturated/unsaturated fats affected your body, as well as proteins and carbohydrates, and just learning about the body in general.  I have taken so many classes on how things affect the body and I wish everyone would have to learn those things because it seriously makes you so much more aware of your personal health!

Who cares.....I think she had a lot of guts to reveal what she did....I thought she looked really great!     A friend of mine went on that diet and it really works.....you don't gain the weight back because it was lost over a long period of time.\nI like that gal!

Although I think Tyra is fake on her talk show, I think she's great on ANTM. I love watching both shows though. Tyra is BEAUTIFUL. And i'm glad she's gained weight..

Here you go:  \nPfeifer\nTeal Pfeifer\nProfessor Rashad\nEnglish 102\nApril 13, 2003\nDevastating Beauty\nCollarbones, hipbones, cheekbone--so many bones. She looks at the camera with\nsunken eyes, smiling, acting beautiful. Her dress is Versace, or Gucci, or Dior, and it is\nrevealing, revealing every bone and joint in her thin, thin body. She looks fragile and\nbeautiful, as if I could snap her in two. I look at her and feel the soft cushion of flesh that\nsurrounds my own joints, my own shoulders and hips that are broad, my own ribs\nsurrounded by skin and muscle and fat. I am not nearly as fragile or graceful or thin. I\nlook away and wonder what kind of self-discipline it takes to become beautiful like the\nmodel in my magazine.\nBy age seventeen a young woman has seen an average of 250,000 ads featuring a\nseverely underweight woman whose body type is, for the most part, unattainable by any\nmeans, including extreme ones such as anorexia, bulimia, and drug use, according to\nAllison LaVoie (par. 4). The media promote clothing, cigarettes, fragrances, and even\nfood with images like these. In a culture that has become increasingly visual, the images\nput out for public consumption feature women that are a smaller size than ever before. In\n1950, the White Rock Mineral Water girl was 5‚Äô4‚Äù tall and weighed 140 pounds; now she\nis 5‚Äô10‚Äù tall and weighs only 110 pounds, signifying the growing deviation between the\nweight of models and that of the normal female population (Pipher 184).\nSource: Andrea A. Lunsford (Bedford/St. Martin‚Äôs, 2004)\n1\nPage 2\nPfeifer\nThis media phenomenon has had a major effect on the female population as a\nwhole, both young and old. Five to ten million women in America today suffer from an\neating disorder related to poor self-image, and yet advertisements continue to prey on\ninsecurities fueled by a woman‚Äôs desire to be thin. Current estimates reveal that 80\npercent of women are dissatisfied with their appearance and 45 percent of those are on a\ndiet on any given day (‚ÄúStatistics‚Äù). Yet even the most stringent dieting will generally\nfail to create the paper-thin body so valued in the media, and continuing efforts to do so\ncan lead to serious psychological problems such as depression.\nWhile many young women express dissatisfaction with their bodies, they are not\nthe only victims of the emaciated images so frequently presented to them. Young girls\nare equally affected by these images, if not more so. Eighty percent of girls under age ten\nhave already been on a diet and expressed the desire to be thinner and more beautiful\n(Slim Hopes). Thus from a young age, beauty is equated with a specific size. The\nmessage girls get is an insidious one: in order to be your best self, you should wear size 0\nor 1. The pressure only grows more intense as girls grow up. According to results from\nthe Kaiser Family Foundation Survey ‚ÄúReflections of Girls in the Media,‚Äù 16 percent of\nten- to seventeen-year-old girls reported that they had dieted or exercised to look like a\nTV character. Yet two-thirds of teenage girls acknowledged that these thin characters\nwere not an accurate reflection of ‚Äúreal life‚Äù (qtd. in Dittrich, ‚ÄúChildren‚Äù pars. 2-3).\nIt is tragic to see so much of the American population obsessed with weight and\nreaching an ideal that is, for the most part, ultimately unattainable. Equally troubling is\nthe role magazines play in feeding this obsession. When a researcher asked female\nstudents from Stanford University to flip through several magazines containing images of\nglamorized, super-thin models, 68 percent of the women felt significantly worse about\nSource: Andrea A.

I didnt see her programme (I'm at work lol), but it may be listed on GMTV's website or you may be able to contact the show via there.   I'm going to have a look later because I'm interested now!!  Good luck

I say the media is to blame... Only the "skinny no figure chicks" as you put it are the ones that get to be on TV and if you are bigger than a size 0, then you are a nobody.  But it shouldn't be that way!  There are many girls out there with a little extra baggage that are just downright beautiful, but not many men would give them the time of day because of all the propaganda that is fed to them everyday when they watch TV or open a magazine.  It is definitely unfair, but it is a fact of life that this is what the world is coming to... and it is only getting worse.
