This is my journey. It is full of twists and turns, ups and downs. It is worth it for the lasting change it brings. I hope my journey will help others find their own path.
Huh. Lori, I think that was about the most obnoxious bit I've ever watched. People actually PAID to hear an obese guy burp continually while making fun of an obese female relative? Really? Has he looked in the mirror lately? Yuk.
I watched it all the way to the end hoping for a redeeming end. Didn't happen.
I'm assuming that you put it up here as an example of something that is not funny. (Althought putting a question mark after your title would make that intent clearer.) Like I said, yuk!
I wonder if that's how youngsters saw me 60 pounds ago. :( No wonder I hated to go out in public.
Deb, I probably should have provided a little more commentary.
For me,when I saw that clip, it held up a mirror to me. That WAS me! After the initial shock, I was able to see the humor in it. Things like not starting a healthy eating plan because I wanted to go out to eat and thinking that my doctor was the cause of my problems and not me.
I'm sorry it was hurtful to you, especially knowing that you are having such a hard time now. Lori

I live in the southeast. I am a self employed accountant. I am married to a college professor. I am a Christian.
I was obese. I started on this journey March 2, 2009.
