Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I always knew I did not like Couric... my list of people I don't have time for any more is growing ... Elle ** Kind of ticked. Hey guys, I was watching the show on discovery health about Al Roker's RNY. It said he lost 115 lbs. I am glad for him, and hope he does well, But while I was watching it I was kind of ticked at Couric's Snooty remark. She said " we were all kind of glad that he did this...He lost like 2 whole people...!! It goes to show how slender people percieve us as obese. A 115 lb person would be tiny, not to mention she claimed he had lost 2 people....Why on earth does this bother me? Am I nit picking? -- in Bama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Couric is a moron who has never had to worry about her weight and therefore, has no clue what it's like to obese or how much a normal person weighs. I understand your annoyance, and when it's the media, it's doubly aggravating. Unfortunately, it's a sad fact of life that idiots like her exist. (Sorry, I'm not a fan.) Hugs!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I totally understand and agree with everything you said Janet. But I don't feel ashamed for my feeling that she (nor ANYONE ELSE) should be making disparaging remarks about people " of size " on national TV. I feel like overweight people are far to readily " blamed " for being fat when it is much more complicated than that. Although I have not had cancer myself the dreaded evil has affected those near and dear to me and I can feel empathy, sympathy and understanding and huge anger toward this evil. But when people are overweight you often hear jokes, finger pointing and blame. No one asks for cancer no one asks to be fat. Okay I have stood on this soapbox for so many years I just can't step down off of it. But I don't mean to say bad things about any PERSON just the unfairness.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 LOL, Mel, you mean I am not alone in night eating? I can go all day with just a simple half a tuna sandwich and an egg or two, but darn when 10pm rolls around, out come the pop tarts, brownies, cake, and fig newtons! I cannot believe I actually ate ALL THAT last night! And I am not talking small portions here, I munched my way through 1/4 of the pan of brownies, 2 waffles with butter and powdered sugar, 2 pop tarts, 8 fig newtons, and a 4X4 piece of chocolate cake! THEN after all the sweets I decided I needed chicken and dumplings! Geez, you'd have thought it was high school again and a case of the smoke and toke munchies! Luckily my scale this morning is right where it is supposed to be, but darn, I HATE nighttime munchies! Thank God they only hit once or twice a week! Being awake and bored is my problem, I do not sleep at night at all, due to breaking out in hives in the sun, I have learned to sleep days and stay up at night, and nighttime with a good book calls for munchies! SO far my weight has remained pretty stable......I bounce between 138 and 148 (I hate water retention) and with half a Lasix I drop a good 8 to 10 pounds overnight. I HAVE found one things that helps.....weird as it sounds....I buy 2 liter bottles of diet Vanilla pepsi, diet cherry pepsi, diet mountain dew, diet Dr Pepper, diet Orange Slice, diet Creme Soda, and diet root beer and freeze them overnight, then when they are good and hard I take them out and whack the heck out of them with the hammer.....cut the tops of the bottles with a sharp knife and instant slushies! The ice cold chunks of soda along with the slushy texture are wonderful, especially on these hot days, just grab a sppon and munch away!! And at 99 cents a 2 liter bottle it beats the heck out of 7-11's prices not to mention portion size and the amazing choices in diet soda flavors out there! Also, after being frozen, the carbonation is gone! My new addiction, they are wonderful!!! OK, admit it, any other nightime munchers out there? And what do you crave or eat when it hits??
