I’m a BIG girl too and love Mo’nique and do not feel betrayed by her choice to get Healthy, NOT skinny. She has clearly said too that she knows she won’t ever be as skinny as Halle Berry or Tyra, and doesn’t want to be, but she does want to be around for as long as possible to watch her two little ones grow up and have kids of their own. For that reason alone I support her. I have been heavy set ever since i was 11, and i learned to love myself when i was 16. I’m 23 now and although i’ve had this body for as long as i can remember i still wouldn’t mind shedding 20 or 30 lbs because i do have issues with my joints due to my size and some things i just can’t wear or do simply because of my size that i most likely could if i got down to a healthier weight. So please stop believing the Hype! Mo’nique is the same person who wrote “skinny b****es are evil” whether she’s 262 lbs or 200 lbs. and she is doing it the natural way and for the right reasons. Just check out some of her interviews. Personally i believe she is sincere and is still a positive role model for larger women.

Oh boy! people are so quick to jump to conclusions and cast judgments. If any of the stone throwers have ever listened to her radio talk show, you would have heard her explain why and what her weight loss plan consisted of. She said she is and did not have surgery, she’s been exercising and eating differently. As for her reasons, well she did have two new children not long ago, and she knew that at her previous weight/size, the potential for health problems was high, and she wanted to be around for her kids and husband. She even has set a limit/goal of only getting down to 200 lbs. which by society’s standards is still overweight, but is a number that she would be happy yet healthier at.

I knew it was only a matter of time before Monique did the same thing as Queen Latifa and Marie Osmond. They all SAY they love themselves heavier but they never mean it!
I don’t mind if they are doing it for health reasons..I myself HAD to lose for my diabetes..BUT on the other hand I never said I was a Hero to the overweight folks like THEY did!
People can be unhealthy or healthy at with a heavy or thin body…it depends on the person.
If unhealthy, then lose…if not and happy then don’t lose and most of all…Don’t say things you Don’t mean…like Mo and Latifa and Osmond did!
Thank God for Emme the plus size model!

What people don’t understand is that there is pressure in Hollywood to be thin. Someone probably told her that if she wanted to continue her radio program, which is owned by a major corporation or if she wanted to continue to get roles (ala Kate Winslet) that she needed to lose weight.

After Camryn Manheim won an Emmy for The Practice, she famously said, ‘This ones for the fat girls,’ and then the next season at ABC, she was noticably thinner. ABC is a corporation. Then, she went to CBS, another corporation and was probably told, along with J-Love, to lose weight or lose her role.

People don’t understand that there is a growing facsist movement to make women suffer. Before the feminist movement of the 1970’s, women “suffered” by not having careers and staying home to take care of children. Now, women
“suffer” by mutiliating their bodies to obtain the perfect ideal.

If this is true, then Mo’Nique is a victim of this. She, along with thousands of other women that are getting gastric bypass surgery, won’t realize the errors of their ways until their bodies begin to turn on them and “suffer.”

But this is what happens when the economy sours. I think on some sub-conscious level, some Americans like to see others suffering, for one and two, when the economy does suffer, people look at others who are doing better than they are and saying, ‘Hmm. Well, why should they be doing better than me?’ And it’s no longer PC to say that black people or gay people or people with disabilities or whoever shouldn’t be doing better than me but I can say that fat people shouldn’t be rich.

I can say that the said person, other than being (fill in the blank with black, Latino, gay, etc.) should be perfect and weight is now the scapegoat. People can band together and say, ‘Well, at least I’m not fat.’ Fat is the new black.

Also, I’ve noticed that there is a strong undercurrent that shuns black celebrities for speaking out against more than one -ism. If you speak out against racism, then you shouldn’t be fat. But if you speak out against fat discrimination, then don’t complain about sexism.

I, for one, am seriously worried about the direction this country is going into.

Ok this is my take on things I too am a plus size women but did not deal with weight issues until the depo shot! Now with Mo’Nique big Mo or lil Mo I will still love her dearly. I think she’s funny and always in the back of my mind said what would she look like thin. There no doubt she’s beautiful and fabulous but what would it hurt for her to be a size as Queen says healthy and that’s what it boils down to and if she happens to lose some weight to be that size then more power!

I think that women who are overweight or looking for an excuse to be fat I don’t think it should be promoted or admired the heart can only take so much. I can say all of this because as I get older the more it is harder to carry this weight. I’m now 278lbs and would like to be back to 145lbs.
