Beth Ditto UK Television interview

[TheNeeuqnozama]

She's hella sexy!

[rchan0]

only in rock 'n' roll can you get a fat lesbian chick sing in hit records and be loved by thousands

I LUV ROCK 'N' ROLL!

[Rainbowstache3]

She's the reason I'm not afraid to become "big".

[Nomoredrama2000]

I love her!

[Tarkan61]

look at that hipster. FUCKIN LOOK AT IT!!!

[jennypederson]

@Tarkan61 Hahaha hilarious!

[SethHesio]

Her singing is really really one trick.... there's no variety, it's just the same fucking style over and over again.

[Yeeeooo000]

What a fat ugly bitch.

[pugghead]

KILL IT WITH FIRE...

[simoblood111]

Everyone just shut the hell up she is amazing, enjoy <3

[suzieastroboy]

who haven't been on here for a while but flattered so many people agree with my comment.

I'm glad it spawned a bit of healthy discussion and not the racist, homphobic, sexist, every other offensive filth you could think of, that usually engulfs the comments section of many youtube videos.

sometimes i think, is this really what we've become? sigh.

[kawaiigoods1]

Beth Ditto you rock!

[TheDiamondCupcake]

BETH DITTO ILOVEYOU !

[Fonduella]

Good for Ms. Ditto - why on earth would she perform for a clothing chain that doesn't even do her size? And it paid off with designing a line for allbeit a sister chain. Nice to see some pop stars still have some principles.

[alindsey326]

this girl is mad cool

[willpreeview]

ermmmm the coolest person in rock? Don't make me laugh. Don't get me wrong she can sing well enough, but what about Liam Gallagher and Ian Brown and Johnny Marr

[GlassRose67]

Ahahahahaha Baptist church to punk-rock!! xD

Best ever!

[duhast43]

WTF is that tie!

[RedDevastation]

Some how, every now and then, she sounds and looks like Madonna when she talks!

[seaniebouy]

@RedDevastation i noticed that too

[cha53z]

@RedDevastation yeah u right i guess shes been in England a lot and shes southern so that pretty much speeds up the English accent for her.

[barrieev]

Be who you are. That's where the power is.

[dwompy]

Unlike me..She has a slim ankle....

[berryberrymuch]

she's cool,but I don't like her make up..she's beautiful without this heavy make up ...this is just my opinion...

[sleonardani]

beth ditto ur amazing

[NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

I have so much respect for her. See girls; you can be fat and look beautiful. She's stunning.

[Lagusable]

Aguante la GORDAAAAAAAA

[Lagusable]

I think she wihgs 240 lbs.

[KirstyGriffiths]

she's fat! So what? she is a musician ... i.e. music ... i.e. ears. i.e. shut your eyes and listen ..... I guess life was much easier in the days of radio when you couldn't see what the musician looked like ...

[nerdywritergrl]

Here's the thing with people talking about anorexia and obesity...it's none of your damn business. Someone's "health" and someone's body is that person's own affair. Do you go up to people on a regular basis and ask them if they've had a colonoscopy or if they've been flossing? NO. Because that's not appropriate, and neither is speculating about someone's health based on body size. Obsession with bodies (which you are perpetuating) is what causes "eating disorders" in the first place. Get a life

[spidersue]

why should plus size matter? I am plus sized, so what, she has a brilliant talent, isn't that the importnt thing

[berryberrymuch]

@spidersue exactly !

[windrix1]

You say curvy, I say fat.

You say negro, I say black.

[bernie23232323232323]

you say fat i say whale

you say black i say nigger

[NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

@bernie23232323232323 you say idiot, I say bernie23232323232323



[ifyoufly]

I suppose it's inevitable in a shallow and xray figured world that her size is the usually the foremost thing mentioned. As if it's the Gossip's claim to fame. Her voice is l'experience unique.

[celizabethx]

not being funny but it is NEVER about size whether you are slim or big it really doesn't matter

it is about personality and what comes from the heart

beth ditto is a true inspiration as she does not care about her size and that is what i love about her .. why do all celebrities have to be super skinny, they really aren't good role models for teenagers growing up in the world.. we need more larger role models in the world!!

[gameralolz]

i also hope she's at least healthy even though she's heavyset

[gameralolz]

i say if she's gonna wear clothes that are tighter, she at least needs to tone up her curves a bit

[gameralolz]

pretty face, pretty voice, but she doesn't wear clothes that suit her body type AT ALL. i just think its gross the way she shows off her body in the wrong way. i mean, why can't she shave her armpits and wear clothes that fit her?? the showing off body thing goes for all types. don't make yourself look trashy and nasty by wearing clothes that hardly fit. not just the big girls all those skinny girls too. i like her fashion sense for the most part she just needs to make some size adjustments....

[justmich08]

Her face is stunning!

and she is just lovely xD

SHE ISNT FAT!

SHE IS HERSELF!

[Michellin9GK]

I loved Music for Men.

I love Beth's voice sooo much. I admire this woman, because she reminds me of the drag queen 'Divine' (No hostility intended); because they both show an awesome amount of confidence and kick ass attitude.

I'm kind of sad the drummer is a girl. She looked very handsome in the CD cover. Kind of like a mix between Keanu Reeves and Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode.

[lord2313]

the bassist doesn't talk at all!

[chiboll]

is that a boy or a girl???

tell me!!!! the drummmer!!

[aqueela1981]

@chiboll the drummer is a girl, you can hear her talk on this video as well

[hurrythefuckup11]

deep down she knows she looks bad.

[benjamingelad]

i'd rather have a big woman than these hideous anorexic bitches who think they look amazing

[lord2313]

he's a douche

[Repentia0289]

Not everyone could be a waif. Many of us shouldn't! Being overweight is not the same as being unhealthy. Many overweight people are very healthy.

Beth Ditto shouldn't change a thing if she doesn't want to. More power to her!

[latanyasdance]

Love her dress and styling. Very attractive to me.

[tomboy1141]

she doesnt relly care bout her armpit hair coz her arm fat covers it most of the time...gross...

[sabsupertoll]

modern day peggy lee? i say piggy lee!

[tomboy1141]

@sabsupertoll agreed

[corkydawl84]

She is so adorable and damn can she ROAR! Love her. 8D

[applebajs]

Haha, I totally agree with suzieastroboy. If its not ok to say "fat" without it being negative... then how do we make people think outside the box? Fat can be beautiful:D

Hope I get my point across without offending anyone..

[berilis]

Her voice is so cool.

[benjamingelad]

beth is beautiful

stop being so shallow

[crackthesky146]

lol at the dude at 2:01

[ironheaven]

I think Beth Ditto is a great woman.

I don't care about her weight, I think she's kinda really beautiful. And she's great singer too.

It's great to see different woman in media.

If you hate Beth just because of her body, please, take a look in the mirror and you'll see what's wrong.

Beth Ditto, You're great woman!

You rock!

[Moonbutterfly7]

Does anyone know what song she is singing called when she sings in the black dress?

[hotsfpursuit]

Listen Up. It says so in the clip.

[Moonbutterfly7]

I couldn't hear it because of the talking but thank you :D

[vidysh22]

gossip rocks!

greets germany :)

[suzieastroboy]

"I say fat people, but a lot of fat people don't like that" lol. this chick is awesome!

I hate the whole, "curvy", "plus size", "heavy set" euphemisms! Just say fat! Who cares! is it what it is!

It doesn't make you any less of a person(no pun intended). I mean I'm pretty sure Beth Ditto is a great example of that.

If you want to lose weight, go for it! If you don't then don't! But then don't complain when people say 'fat', just hold your head high and do your thing!

[kazaustralian]

@suzieastroboy I guess it's just a word that has become offensive because of what it has been asociated with in the past. Like a less harsh version of the 'n' word.

[cubguy27]

@suzieastroboy Great comment suz

[DubaiMafia]

Beth Ditto is BEYOND FAT!!!!! the pics on google are just sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is fat & ugly!!!!!!!!! She has mental issues and is ugly as a homeless dog.

It is NOTHING to do with food in society, if someone cant control them selves eating that is their damn problem!!!!

I love food and my girlfriend does to but she aint exactly stuffing her face like her.

Loose the weight and change your whole face STOP BEING FAT AND PROUD!!!!! IT IS SICK!!

[VlikeVince777]

@DubaiMafia youre sick!

[DubaiMafia]

Oh sorry, lets make EVERY1 fat??? that would be a lot better. Fat Strippers, Fat Service Workers, Fat Doctors, Fat Every1 and lets be proud :)

[VlikeVince777]

@DubaiMafia Lets pretend your mother or father is fat and loves rock music.

And would you yell at her/him:

"YOUR FAT AND UGLY YOU MAKE ME SICK!"?

I guess not!

You cannot command other people how they have to live!

She is fat, a lesbian and has a fucking awsome

personality!

Everone in Gossip has it!

:)

[DubaiMafia]

If you are FAT YOU LOOSE THE DAM WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

How many programs about fat people do you see whoa ctually want to loose weight. Look at "The Biggest Looser" i am sure that program is known across the world!!!!!!!!

[VlikeVince777]

youre german arent you?

well ..some want to loose weight and some not

Look Lenny from Motörhead he gota really ugly wart..

but he keeps the fucking wart...you know why??

Because its a part of him....and Beth Ditto got some kilos...but those are improving her voice!

Trust me if she wouldnt be fat she wouldt sing good as now!

[anonybrowser]

Then don't watch. Simple.

[kisskittycat791]

the guy with the glasses is funny :D

[08Peacock]

Um...Who care what she weighs?

[tonybeir]

@08Peacock well it's unhealthy, she is literally killing herself. it's not a good message to send out that its okay to be fat. ITS NOT. people should be ashamed and should make better decisions.

[Dipstikk]

@tonybeir It's a good decision to send to kids to hate their bodies and always push themselves to be at a body type that other people decide is the right one for them, no matter if their bodies would be more unhealthy at a thinner size than a thicker one.

It's a good decision to help people develop eating disorders just to fulfill everyone else's fantasy of what they want you to look like.

That's better than promoting the idea that body type has nothing to do with how good or bad a person is?

[tonybeir]

@Dipstikk well I completely agree with you that it's disgusting to try to force people into a body shape that's not theirs.... it's okay to be heavy, stocky, thin, skinny as long as you are healthy.

The objection I have is with obesity. The rates of obese people are skyrocketing all over the developed world the majority of these people are not naturally obese. they just arent. obesity related illness now kills more people than cigarettes. 400,000+ here in america alone. it's a tragedy already

[Dipstikk]

@tonybeir Marvelous point. We should probably counter this with more diet trends and useless news coverage on obesity that goes nowhere and features footage of obese people filmed below the neck. Plus, lots and lots of laughing at fat people, shaming and dehumanizing them and then wondering why obesity rates aren't dropping as if it weren't already freaking obvious.

Also, let's keep re-stating the problems involved in obesity while not looking for solutions or exploring the issue as a whole.

[tonybeir]

@Dipstikk The solution is individual responsibility and yes peer pressure. It's not okay to be obese and no one should pretend it is. like the singer of this band who disguises being a fat slob lazy obese person harming herself with being a "confident woman"

[Dipstikk]

@tonybeir Let's skip the part where you pretend to be concerned on a "health" basis and go right to the part where I've debunked every single excuse and justification to hate people and you're left insulting people's weight like a bitter, scorned 12 year old.

[Dipstikk]

@tonybeir Because all this really is, is you telling someone else that they ought to conform to your own standards, which are pretty fucked up if you think a woman who dances so vivaciously is somehow still lazy. She may not be pretty to you, but you need to get your obese-sized nose out of her business.

"Being fat is a choice," as your rhetoric usually goes. So where's the "choice" in the matter? Oh, that's right. You've already made for her.

[Dipstikk]

@tonybeir Oh, no, let's not promote confidence. Goodness!

Let's be honest here. You don't care about health. You quoted a bariatric surgeon, for fuck's sake. People who sell quick-fix cosmetic surgeries and lap bands and have a product to push. Even if you think you have a healthy understanding of weight and health, you don't.

Good call on the peer pressure thing, though. Tell me, what do we do when that pressure leads to an eating disorder? Is that an acceptable risk in your book?

[piccadillyX]

@08Peacock Agree, she's beautiful, because she doesn't care about her weight. And she has got an amazing voice !

[08Peacock]

Arkansas...Really...Pretty Awesome!!!

[maracuchalinda]

por q discuten tanto sobre su peso se sabe tanto el exceso como el deficit de peso son perjudiciales para la salud, veo mas mujeres flacas en tv revistas y farandula q se ve q estan anorexicas y no la molestan tanto cm a esta cantante, por que no estamos acostunbrados a ver mujeres q esten pasada de peso q se vean bonitas y sexys cn ella y eso les molesta a mucha gente, y ademas de eso tiene talento y seguridad en si misma......

[Gismonde]

kathleenhannah you're a f***ing dumb*** the body tells you what he likes to eat??? how much you have to weight??? there are TONS of people who love cakes, hamburgers, pizza and are obese! AND they could die from diabetes! this is serious, people can be sooo stubborn. Eating healthy is the best thing you can do, and I'm not talking about just eating vegetables, but eating everything the body needs to stay healthy and in a good weight

[SamSoGo]

aye i agree,

its a gid thing that she doesn't starve herself for ignorant people to like her.

[carolcarol92]

people should put the weight thing aside it just shows how ignorant people are.. instead of metioning her weight lets talk about her awsome talent!!

[Nessababe00000]

she´s not thin but she´s beatiful i think. and she sings very well :)

[NiNiKkOo]

i hate thisss beth ditto...she's wrong in her choice...

[addicted2skins]

stop bitching about her wait.

she's awesome. Amazing singer, amazing person and an amazing performer and musician.

the fact you all can't get past her weight shows how much you suck.

IT isn't affecting you, it is her choice.

SHUT UP AND WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO

[tomconry]

The increasing profile of larger celebrities, for example James Corden, Eamonn Holmes, Ruth Jones and Beth Ditto, means that being overweight is now perceived as being normal in the eyes of the public. We talk about the dangers of skinny media images, but the problem actually swings both ways. - Professor Michael McMahon, Bariatric Consultant at Nuffield Health

[Dipstikk]

@tomconry Mr. McMahon listed four people. Four obscure actors, only one that I've ever heard one of them. Contrast that with the tens, maybe hundreds of well-known actors with a body that fits a "bariatric consultant's" definition of what "healthy" looks like. Most people do NOT perceive obesity as being "normal."

Oh, and your doctor is spewing bullshit to promote weight loss surgery, you sheep. He has a product he needs to sell and a salesman will say anything to sell you a product.

[jmillar314]

the thing is beth ditto admits she is unhealthy and overweight, which u should know seeing as you act like her biggest fan. But yet she refuses to do anything about it bcos she is seen to be a role model bcos of her weight. Which i find confusing, bcos its one of the largest problems in healthiness in the u.s and the.u.k

[kathleenhannah]

beth ditto has no illness, this is an illness created in your and others heads...she is touring the whole world, the sings and jumps every night...what more can i say?

[jmillar314]

thats not an argument. Your the one who wanted an intelectual argument but come back with responses like. A person with h.i.v may seem happy and strong at times, bt that is not healthy. There is a differance between mental and physical healthiness.

[kathleenhannah]

hmmm...but mental condition has an enourmous influence on our physical health, especially with nutrition. we could tell beth ditto over and over that she is unhealthy, the moment she belives it, she REALLY starts being unhealthy, probably will get anorexic or something

[tomconry]

to tell her she is unhealthy is a neccessity, nobody can be truly healthy when they are so overweight. in the same way you talk about the dangers of anorexia you must realise obesity is an equally damaging condition. trying to point out the dangers of obesity to those who suffer from it is as important as helping those who undereat.

[kathleenhannah]

no. your body chooses your weight, whether this is fat, normal-sized or skinny.

[jmillar314]

if you were not so ignorant, you would be able to understand that ditto in a certain aspect encouraging obesity by the fact that she is flaunting. Fair enough, be proud of who you are, bt do nt encourage others to stay or become that weight because in most medical eyes its extremely unhealthy, and your the one who is suportin this woman.

[kathleenhannah]

she seems strong and happy to me, therefore healthy

[tomconry]

theer is a huge difference between psychological well being and physical/medical health. these are not one and the same thing.

[kathleenhannah]

obese people are unhealthy, yes, but fat people, like beth ditto, feel perfectly fine.

[kathleenhannah]

uhm what? it is ALL about the conclusions! you want fat people to loose weight...you judge fat people...you tell them what is healthy and what not. we are talking and thinking about how we treat food and health issues and we have to do the right things to stop eating disorders. and i tell you_ YOU are doing the wrong thing! you are part of the people who start or at least worsen the situation!

[tomconry]

you say we have to do the right things to treat eating disorders. telling people that it is ok to eat whatever they want because their body tells them to is encouraging obesity, which is caused by compulsive eating and/or overeating. these are eating disorders. this is one of a number of reasons why your argument is full of contradictions an makes no sense whatsoever.

[kathleenhannah]

your body would never tell you to eat too much! the problem starts in your head, when you start to eat because your sad, because you are frightened. our media, where food and eating is an everyday theme, where people are getting bullied for not being sexy, people very quickly develop eating-disorders, they eat too much or too little. conclusion: we have to stop being hysterical about our appearance and start eating what our appetite tells us to...and stop when it says stop.

[tomconry]

wrong. just because your appetite tells you to carry on eating does not mean you should. there is a point where your body has taken on enough calories to sustain itself in a healthy way. to eat any more is greedy and unnecessarily excessive. people have to excercise an element of self control and not attribute their own failings to outside influences like the media. the media is available equally to everyone in society and yet not everyone has an eating disorder. this is just a convenient excuse

[jmillar314]

theres certain people who are nt worth arguing properly with. And with you claimin certain facts like people in earlier times "ate white bread" when it is a manufactured food. Why dont you cme up with hard facts then an intelectual argument can begin? Firsty, admit obesity is unhealthy.

[kathleenhannah]

oh, don't be so hypocritical now! you are not concerned about the health of obese people, you are just bullying people that do not meet your expectations of appearance!

plus: you won't help obese people to stop being obese by railing against them! this is the real cause to your problems with food in our society. we always rant...

[kathleenhannah]

oh come on, dont mix things up!! drugs are not healthy, whereas food is necessary to live and food is enjoyable, it makes you happy and strong

[kathleenhannah]

yes, but you are drawing the wrong conclusions out of it and your are criticizing the wrong things

[kathleenhannah]

not exactly. they will tell you that fat is not unhealthy (like in butter, meat, bread, sugar) and they will tell you that vitamins are not proven to be healthy, and that most of the peoples stomachs do not like fructose and lactose (the two things that "exprerts" and media tell us to be healthy, e.g. fruits, yoghurt etc)...listen to your body, it tells you what he likes to eat and how much you have to weigh. and if its "fat", like beth ditto, then it must be ok and healthy for you.

[jmillar314]

why dont you open your mind and stop being so ridiculously ignorant?

[kathleenhannah]

jmillar: so the only things that you have to say are rude word against me! why don't you come up with hard facts and thoughtful arguments in order to change my mind?

[jmillar314]

i have no doubt in my mind that your eating a whole chocolate fudge cake to yourself whilst writing these kathleenhannah

[kathleenhannah]

wo what?

[kathleenhannah]

i meant:

so what?

you better stop bullying people in front of your computer, go out, be nice, be creative...

[kathleenhannah]

first: the fact that we nowadays reach a age of 80 is quite unbelievable so it is no shame if you do NOT reach this age! second: if you look at peoples or times where there was no diet-nutrition-industry, they NEVER talked about fruit, sweetener, dark bread...they ate white bread, butter, meat, white rice...they were strong and healthy, they had no eating disorders.

[tomconry]

you are ridiculously ignorant

[jmillar314]

since when was it cool to be fat....?

never. lose someweight beth ditto you fat cunt.

[kathleenhannah]

why does she have to be cool?

who has the might to define, what "cool" is?

why does beth ditto have to loose weight? for you?

[jmillar314]

its a myth that obesity is unhealthy? that might be the most stupid thing i have ever heard. im sure qualifed doctors will agree that the supposed myth has come out of beauty companies and not actual scientific research and fact. and the fact that beth dittos image is "look at me im obese, and im in a rockband" is no cooler or better than "look im anorexic , and im in a rockband". but if obesity is heathy, then go hve a healthy meal at mcdonalds and a healthy chocolate milkshake.

[kathleenhannah]

well, beth ditto is the best example to show that fat people are not sick and weak...some doctors will tell you so, too: it is more the social pressure about looks and food that makes people sick and develop eating disorders...

[kathleenhannah]

if your stomach or your appetite tells you: hmmm, i love chocolat, hmmm, i love meat and bread. tell me, why should your body cheat on you? your body, therefore your appetite, cannot be wrong. Wrong is a diet-industry, that tells you that you are stupid, greedy, uncontrolled and unhealthy if you listen to your appetite!

[Dipstikk]

@jmillar314 Why do you feel like it is any of your business to tell an adult and a woman what she should do with her own body?

I have not checked, but I do not think her body has a nametag on it and I do not think the nametag that is not attached to her body reads "Property of jmillar314 of Youtube the Website."

[jmillar314]

@Dipstikk

you have misread what i have put. i have never claimed that i own her body and it is how you put "Property of jmillar314 of youtube the website".

people get shunned for being too skinny in the celebrity magazines nowadays, but for people like beth ditto they praise her for being overweight.

I understand what you are saying Dipstikk, but i have a problem for a woman who obviosuly thinks she is a role model and is so heavily in the spotlight and flaunts that obesity is fine.

[Dipstikk]

@jmillar314 And do you think it's also wrong to praise famous people who are too skinny?

[jmillar314]

@Dipstikk of course i do. anorexia is just as harmful as obesity. no one should be praised in the media for being overweight or underweight.

[Dipstikk]

@jmillar314 Instead of being so focused on people's bodies, we should rather focus on their achievements. By concentrating on people's body sizes, we are only perpetuating the idea that a person's size has anything to do with their character.

I don't admire someone like Kiera Knightly because she's thin, I admire her because she's a good actor, in the same way that I admire Beth Ditto for her tenacity, not her waistline.

[ruzuluna8]

@Dipstikk so true!! I like beatiful peopple or standars, but there also other things that we have to focus O_o plus size like a headline does not look cool!!

[Dipstikk]

@jmillar314 And I don't see anyone praising her exclusively for her size anyway, just the fact that she's a great singer. The fact that she's so popular despite being big in a world that despises fat people is a nice little bonus for progressiveness, but we aren't praising her solely for her waistline.

Being so superfocused on weight... what's that say to young girls? "You can be a scientist, an engineer, an astronaut, anything you want... after you've gained/lost that twenty pounds?"

[Lightner445555555555]

doesnt beth kinda look like a young madonna??

[tomconry]

looks like she ate a young madonna

[Dipstikk]

@tomconry Are you helping in a way that shows concern for someone else's health, or in a way that shows concern for you being a lonely, cockless dumbass?

[MrMayfairgirls]

She is fat. Lets face it.

[kathleenhannah]

so what?

does this fact discriminate you in some sort of way?

[MrMayfairgirls]

What? You don't even make sense. Fat people should be discriminated against, so they stop being fat.

[kathleenhannah]

uhm...

1. as a matter of fact, a QUESTION is not a STATEMENT...therefore it does not have to fullfill the quality of being LOGIC...so tell me, how come my question was "not logic"?

2. again: why should fat people stop being fat?

one possible answer: so that they won't crush you during sex? :)

tell me, are there any warranties you want to impose on people? Ban brown hair? Ban blonde hair? Ban yellow teeth? Ban hearing impaired? Ban ...????

[jmillar314]

2. again: why should fat people stop being fat?

because its unhealthy and it raises the likeliness of death is a reason.

[kathleenhannah]

it is a myth from the nutrition and beauty industry, that fat is unhealthy. they also say, fruits or dark bread are healthy, although our stomachs get ill. most of us achieve the age of 80, it is normal to die from heart disease...we have a problem with obesity not because we eat, but because we impose pressure on people and we produce idiotic food like low-fat or sweetener-stuff!

[tomconry]

literally the most stupid thing ever witten by a human being.

[kathleenhannah]

no. many good doctors will tell you the same. and i have experienced this myself

[feelingslinky]

that is the most ridiculous statement i have ever read...just like stupid people should stop being stupid....

[kathleenhannah]

please tell me WHAT EXACTLY is stupid about my statement?

is it the fact that i am not judging people based on their appearance?

is it the fact that i do not believe fully in what the nutrition- and beauty- and health-industry tells us to do and not to do?

feelingstinky: please take your word to heart: STOP being stupid, start using your brains!

[Dipstikk]

@MrMayfairgirls It's been proven through several studies that shaming anyone doesn't help convince them to lose weight.

If you go up to someone who already has body hatred issues and mock them or discriminate against them, they aren't going to say, "They are right I am going to help myself." That makes no sense psychologically.

Instead, the idea that "mockery is motivational" sounds more like a very clever justification to use if you want to get away with being a bigoted shithead to someone.

[feelingslinky]

and just to make you all jealous....i know the band! ha ha!

[Sarahg12816]

take them to meet me? :P

[feelingslinky]

ha ha...if you go to the london show this week, i will meet you there and see what we can do ;)

[Sarahg12816]

that would be awesome! theres only one thing little thing preventing me... i live in australia! :( i think they were here around two weeks ago though

[feelingslinky]

thats a shame! you a big girl by any chance?

[Sarahg12816]
