Whitney thore on Ted talks

I saw someone share on fb, a 20 minute Ted talks with whitney thore. She is on the TLC show my "Big fat fabulous life". I watched her speech, and I gotta say. It was impressive. She was a skinny kid,like myself. Became an over achiever with an eating disorder and was diagnosed with pcos after gaining 100lbs within her freshman year of college. Then she started eating as comfort.. ended up making a dance video which went viral. And that's how she got picked up by TLC.

Now, I think it is great that she is doing what she loves to do * dance* and is bringing awareness to pcos and pushing body positive. But, at the same time I feel her staying obese is why she has a career. And that's sad. If she were to start my big fat fabulous life at 376 lbs and by season 4 she was down 200lbs. There would be no show.

And it's not so much about her diagnosis and how she changes her life around anymore than she already has.. it's more about being happy in the body your in.. but I feel if they made a show about women with pcos of all walks of life. It would be better. I'd love to be apart of something like that.
