My Big Fat Fabulous Life

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 was starting to like this show. She has feelings for 3 guys and jealous big about other people's new relationships. This girl needs a psychiatrist for her MENTAL illness. Also her weight and how she works out "so much " and how her weight is really and truly not going anywhere, she needs to see her family DOCTOR and a a dietitian and rehabilitation.

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.

Whitney is very disrespectful to her parents and uses very bad language. On the other hand her parents make the show worth watching. Babs is so cute and funny and so is her dad. Whitney is very self indulgent and if anyone suggests she cut back on the food, she is very irate . It sounds like the weight problem may be nothing new so it is not due to her disease. I wonder if the weight brought on the disease? Gastric Bypass is probably in her future to save her life. In the mean time everyone will have to take care of her.

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!
