Please start a new thread. We absolutely can - I am interested.

Also this idea that we must support everything a woman does is nonsense. I have no idea where it came from.

Absolutely agree we don’t have to support everything a woman does. But I’m still confused why people are mad about Mindy losing weight.

Shrug. I honestly don’t care so no need to explain. Just pointing out the difference between supporting “everything a woman does” vs being upset (and clearly some people are) that some women lose weight or take meds or whatever. Truly don’t get it.

Because it’s not about Mindy at all. People feel very threatened when someone gets skinny

Ever since I started taking my health more seriously and losing weight, one of my coworkers insists on making snide comments about my "special diet". It's sad, really.

She’s a single mom of 3 in her 40s who has very little dating history and is insecure. Who would be threatened?

Huh? Who cares if she has "very little dating history" - what does that even mean or matter?

How is she insecure?

PP is trying to tell us that she’s had more male interest than Mindy and therefore couldn’t be threatened by her.

Why would anyone be threatened by her? What’s the supposed threat?

That's she's funny (at least funnier than you). And way more successful. And definitely smarter. And brown.

But she will always be the former fat girl and those unflattering photos will live in infamy and she can't stand it.

Ah, and there we have it.

Mindy said it herself. She always wanted to be thin and now she is. She had decades of self loathing.

She’s now built a major empire and is a mom of three. I’m sure she doesn’t have the same insecurities she had in her 20s.

It does seem to be a running theme for her, even now in her 40s. Has she not evolved?

She’s self deprecating. But I don’t think she’s deeply insecure. I don’t get those vibes from watching her in interviews, pose at red carpets, etc.

Her shows are all somewhat biographical and they are humorous and full of heart. She seems pretty successful and sure of herself to me.

She could just own up to it but instead she pretends she hikes a lot.

Who cares.

Well, you do. Since mentioning it makes you angry enough to respond.

No, I’m not angry. I find it interesting that there are women and maybe men who think they are entitled to be thin and other people aren’t. That paradigm is going to have to change. In five years there will be very few people who can afford to spend two to $300 a month who are still overweight. I guess poor people will still be overweight but most of the folks we work with and parents at our kids schools and who live in our neighborhoods and won’t be. They won’t all be super thin and fit but people will largely have their weight under control.

It’s interesting to me that it truly drives some people bonkers.
