BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Large & Lovely 700 pound woman on Dr. Phil

Did anyone else see the Dr.Phil show today - about a woman who weighs more than 700 pounds? I'm not much of a Dr. Phil fan, but I saw the previews for this and decided to watch. The thing that surpised me, was my own reaction. I'm embarrassed <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> to admit that when I saw her I thought "how could she get that big?". Well, it only took me about one second to realize that there are no doubt many people who think that exact same thing about me. I hope she gets all the help she needs to take care of herself and be healthy. Meanwhile, I'll just be working on myself. We ALL have challenges.

I saw a few minutes. I'm also not a big Dr. Phil fan. We watched him in the beginning then it became too much about "here's my book on...." and "I'm right, your wrong and what are you going to do about it".

I saw a few tv shows a while back, I think on Bravo, one about 700 lb man and the other about a woman around the same weight. Both were from an educational perspective which I enjoyed. Of course both were sad scenarios.

You are correct in saying "we all have challenges". We all approach them differently too. Imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same? We'd have nothing to talk about.
