Set Your Dvr's. Sunday on TLC a program called Fat and Back...

foundinlv — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 04:39:33 GMT

A British woman purposely gains 50 lbs to show everyone "how easy" it is to lose weight. She has been soundly criticized for making this but I'm sure by the time she is finished, she will change her tune that the simple solution is to stop putting food into one's mouth. This is a two part program shown on Jan 18th and Jan 25th.

I saw her interviewed after she had lost the weight and she still held to her belief that if someone was over weight it was because of laziness. She discounted the interviewer's question about thyroid issues, other medical reasons and the woman still said those are just excuses and there is no reason to be fat.

I would guess she's never dealt with a reason that would make it difficult to lose weight.

This is like the show where the fellow ate only McDonalds for a month three meals a day... he got fat and sick... duhh.... Anyone who overeats, and makes bad food choices purposely OR because they are a food addict and just gorging themselves .... is going to get fat/ be fat... and be unhealthy.

I do not think her experiment proves anything that is not already known. Calories in, good healthy food choices... and calories burned by moving and staying active are the best ways to control your weight at a healthy level OR lose excess fat if you are overweight.

It is not complicated. It does not require gadgets, diets, books or prepared processed food like nutrisystem. It is just using your common sense.

Actually, in an interview I saw last week, she grudgingly admitted that the process wasn't as straightforward as she had previously assumed, and was crying in frustration at one point during the interview, BUT she appeared to quickly assume her bluff "it's just laziness" persona for the sake of her TV program.

So your comments suggest that perhaps you've never actually been 100 pounds overweight yourself?

I saw something about this the other day. I won't get to watch tonight. If it's on again, I'd watch. Don't have a dvr.

If it wasn't complicated, everyone would weigh 120lbs.

Well...if my pants get tight....or the scale is up 5-10 pounds....it is a wake up call don't you think....? It says it is time to scale back...step up the moving....I just walk, nothing fancy like dancing....and get it off. No, I would not let myself put on 100 pounds. Does that make me a fat hater? No. It makes me someone who values my health as I have health issues with my back and want to treat my body well. It is hard for me to exercise...I do the best I can.

Not interested in watching. I think this is the woman who was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight last week. Watching that interview was enough for me. Overbearing.

It's really great that that's what works for you, you know it, and you live by it. It is very difficult for people who live as you do to be able to understand the life of someone who lives as a morbidly obese person. I now wear clothes in medium, 12-14, but my mind is still morbidly obese. By the grace of God, I, like you, now know how to live a saner, healthier way, and I AM becoming more confident and less worried about slipping, but it is an aspect of my life that will never be automatic. I don't think of your posts as suggesing in any way that you are a "fat hater". I just ask you to consider that for someone who lives in my body, calories in-energy expended-"just using your ccmmon sense" isn't the whole story by a long shot, and as graycatsrule succinctly states, for some of us "If it wasn't complicated, everyone would weigh 120 pounds". Thanks for posting!

I'm not watching, but I'd be willing to bet that woman started with a body type not prone to weight gain. They do exist - and people who have those bodies almost never gain large amounts of unhealthy weight unless they hit medical problems - or unless they set out to earn dollars from TLC - which pretty much means The Looney Collection in my book.
