Waving back to you, Maria, and sending the same good wishes.

It is inspiring, isn't it? Like she said bluntly, if she didn't want to be called fat, she had to lose the weight.

Wow. I saw her doing an interview on tv and was so impressed with her. what a lovely young woman. It is inspiring. But more than her body transformation, she transformed her spirit!

Slow and steady wins the race.

Waving to Maria too!!!

Why do you all think that a person's value (or how they are "defined" ) has anything at all to do with physical appearance? How very shallow!

ALL 4 of us? And why are you putting words in our mouths.

I believe it was the young lady who temporarily allowed someone to define her. Obviously, she didn't believe it and did something about it. She got healthy.

Is there something wrong with that?

She's lovely because she skinny....? I'm guessing she was pretty Chechen she was hesvy. I guess I missed the inspirational part? She a silly beauty contest contestant, she didn't discover a cure for cancer.

Hmm, I sense some tension here when people should be happy that this young woman did what she felt was best for her life. If one reads the article, the bolded words, SHE wanted to change how she was defined.

Not any of us posters here.

It's very sad, isn't it? Disheartening . As if losing a bunch of dress sizes changes a person, make a woman "better", "smarter", "prettier". She's the same young woman she always was, she's just smaller. Take it from someone who weighs 100lbs less than she did 20 years ago.

No one here said she was lovely because she is skinny. Are you reading everyone's posts in full?

This is what the poster said about being lovely.....no where do I see her say it's because she is skinny. Did you read the part that says "she transformed her spirit"?
