The October issue of Good Housekeeping has more than just some pretty pumpkins and delicious recipes within its pages. Journalist, Alexis Jetter has written an article called Don't Hate Me Because I�m Fat. Anyone read this issue?

A few of the ladies featured in the article were also guests on the Today Show this morning.
Did any of you watch it? What did you think?

Oh this sounds like something I would have enjoyed...how long before they are on Oprah? They sound like some people she would have on... Anyone seen Kirstie Alley? Who dresses her anyway?

I missed both, but read you article (somthing's up with your link BTW, it wouldn't take me directly there, had to go the roundabout way).
But I've noticed when I've seen obese people out jogging or doing other types of exercise, people sit there and make fun of them! They make nasty comments like "yeah you better run tubby." and things like that. I actually heard a teenager make this remark not too far from me (when I was still in my not so large - but creeping up there days) and i turned around on him REAL FAST.
I asked him how did he think that overweight people were supposed to correct being overweight if they couldn't get out and exercise. At least this man was trying! He just kind of stood there with his mouth open (his buddies around him). I was off on a diatribe! But it makes me so mad. People laugh when a fat person drinks diet coke, or when they exercis, or when they eat salad, or do anything to try and lose weight.
Well, how the heck are they supposed to lose it if they don't try?!? It just frustrates me and makes me want to beat on a wall. <img src="/images/graemlins/wall.gif" alt="" />

I don't have to imagine anymore. LOL I weigh 260 myself! I saw a neat thing on Yahoo this morning. On Tyra Banks new talk show (I love her!) she is putting on one of those suits that's going to bring her up to 350 lbs for her show. She said she could not believe how people treated her on the street; with the open hostility and humiliation. Here's the link: http://tv.yahoo.com/news/ap/20051102/113097492000.htmlIt's supposed to air on Monday, I know it comes on at 2:00 in the afternoon EST.
