Uma Mulher de Peso

I can NOT stand this show at all! I thought it was about a woman who was heavier but taught dance and was inspireing. It is so not that at all. She just complains about EVERYTHING!!!! I feel bad for her parents. She treats them like crap. I had to watch this because my Mother watched it, that's the only reason it was on & I even saw it😝!

Whitney is not struggling with her weight, she is making money off of her obesity. Whitney and her friends and family have cashed in on this show to let others know how easy it is to make money off of The Learning Channel by way of money for nothing and ignorance.

This channel used to be The Learning Channel and has hit bottom with these disgusting, self deprecating people that will do anything for a buck.

This woman will do anything to get a sound bite on TV and so will the people that surround the girth of her. A man comes along and claims to love her and it's obvious he wants air time. She rolls arounds with Buddy, her other obese lover, that can't or won't move on or go away because she's in love with the hanger on that wants air time. Buddy hangs on in her bedroom, period. A sick, really pathetic set up of drama.

I used to watch this channel to actually learn something but now it is just a channel that degrades participants to make a buck. I watch a few other shows that are actually fun on TLC, Say Yes To The Dress, but this show is just pathetic to watch this oversized train wreck of a series.

What I love about this show is that it promotes positive body image and self-love. But that is where my good feelings end.

I love that Whitney has such a positive outlook on life, and I envy that a little, but what she does to prove this and to promote the whole No Body Shaming is quite frustrating. First of all, it is said in one of the episodes that she has health issues, and a way to get better is to lose weight. But in order to keep her self-loving image, she ignores this. She is putting herself in harm's way so as not to contradict her NBS campaign, and is setting a bad example to those who look up to her as a role model. There are also a few episodes where she will try more strenuous things, like skiing, and has a very difficult time with it, gives up, and blames it on her weight. I understand how difficult something like that can be but when you are on a TV show, saying that you can do anything regardless of your weight, you can't blame all of your failures on that very thing.

I don't feel like the show is doing its job with creating a positive influence and role model, and I don't think it is 100% necessary to carry on with it, unless they do something to change it. I've tried giving it a few more chances, but every time I do, I end up feeling frustrated and I turn it off. Again, good for Whitney that she is able to get on national television and share her story with the world, but I wouldn't consider her a good role model.

I have PCOS and I do not eat like this. All of Whitney's enablers may love her with all their hearts, but they are the ones who are going to have to be her caretakers when all of this catches up to her - and it will. If they really care about Whitney, they will get her to diet and exercise. Will they be happy when they have to watch her having trouble breathing, walking, standing, etc? I would never watch a child of mine destroy herself like this. I steer my son away from sugar and cholesterol all the time. He doesn't even need reminders from me any longer. Such an annoying show!

I get this is reality show, but it's terrible. Whitney seems totally unprofessional, immature and seems to lack in any knowledge or etiquette for that matter. This is especially prevalent when she speaks about her boyfriend who left her. I might be too critical, but she isn't even interesting enough to make me sick.
