Instead of creating body positive images for everyone, the Today show continues to promote the down side of obesity. Yes we all want to be healthy but instead of having people on there who are positive, up beat, HEALTHY and happy with their roundness, they show all these “biggest losers” including those who did it via surgery. Most recently a 17 yr old girl who weighed 250lbs. That’s BARELY obese especially since she is taller. and 17 years old. How many ‘diets’ could she have tried?? AND why continue to plant this idea into young and impressionable woman.

Recently on a forum that I am a member of, one of the girls mentioned that she was unable to gain weight and had a “fear of food.” When asked what she thought was the cause, she stated because her mom made fun of the way she ate AND all of her family was Fat and she didn’t want to be fat. Truthfully I don’t know what is sadder: the fact that she’s letting her “mom” dictate how she eats OR that she is Fatphobic.

Surprisingly enough, I know quite a few thin women. And an ongoing thread with them is no matter how much they try to gain weight, they can’t. Most of them would like a curvier figure but are unable to maintain this. I also know a few who have anorexia and bulimia. So afraid are they of putting on a single pound, they are constantly binging and purging. What they fail to realize is that this is a MENTAL issue, not a physical one.

But rather than have a BODY POSITIVE episode on the Today show, once again they are freakishly obsessed with body image rather than mental health.
