To agree with Katie Hopkins?

[UnacceptableWidge]

I know, I know!!
Turned on Radio2, initially had no idea who it was and found myself nodding along to every word.

As a 'fatty' myself I had to agree with all she said. I did this to myself. I like food, especially junk food waaay too much. I hate exercise a lot. Nobody to blame but me.

The horror of agreeing with her may, possibly, finally force me to get off my arse and do something about it though I will never in RL admit that she has made me wake up and realise this is all on me

All I would add, as clearly she cannot be completely right and understanding life in anyone else's shoes, that her circumstance is different to mine.

My weight crept on gradually over the years.
My mindset has never been to actively put weight on with the intention of losing it again, I simply developed bad habits over a long time.

I hope I didn't come across as saying its okay - because it's not. But people do. Everyone does. No matter how much people say they don't. Someone smells? You judge. Someone is dirty? You judge. Someone shouts at their kid? You judge.

Yabu OP

Self loathing as promoted by Ms Hopkins is not the way forward.

Self loathing and self disgust do not make people slimmer.

A positive approach (I want to feel better, look better, move better, be fitter) is better, no?

Sorry Gray*.

Oh don't worry about the gray grey thing ha

I used to be as judgy as hdll in my twenties, I'm so glad a grew up and got a brain. The diversity in the human race should be marvelled at, not quashed.

Are you sure you aren't her Float? Someone on this thread may be her. I'm not of course, or am I? No I'm not
Or am I?
No I'm not. You seem to know a lot about Biddy.

Sorry if I sound preachy, but this is something I feel very strongly about. I am working very hard to learn not to judge myself so harshly as I am very accepting of other people.

Except Katie Hopkins, I will never be accepting of someone who enjoys inflicting humiliation and hurt on others.

King - I felt the same until I lost a tooth and my dentist called me on it. She looked me straight in the eye (after removing my tooth) and said 'I know what you are doing to yourself. Your teeth are eroded by your stomach acid and this should be a warning to you. You need to see your GP and get help, if not, I will see you I about 6 months to remove the next rotten tooth.' She was direct, but said it so kindly. I sobbed all of the way home, but went it gave me the push to see my GP. CBT doesn't make you delve deep into your past to discover why you behave the way you do. In fact, my councillor actively avoided it. Rather, CBT helps you to break the psychological and physiological habits that cause you to binge and purge. I never told anyone about my eating disorder until I was well into recovery. Only then, because I wanted too. You must see your gp. Get help. You are worth it and you will never look back.

Thank you for sharing that loki. This is why I'm always frightened of going to the dentist- they obviously know. Mine hasn't said anything to me-yet.

Babycham79 how much of it do you think is due to binge drinking

Charge: Agreeing with Katie Hopkins.

Punishment: Expulsion!!!

Hope you find something that helps king. Scarring of the osophagus is something that can happen too and it's scary :( and hope KH comments didn't bother you. Sod her.

Thank you gray :)

I just watched part 1. She certainly rightly makes the point that for her her running etc is her release and keeps her happy if things are going wrong and for a lot of people their similar release/crutch is junk food/sugar. There is nothing of particular interest or new science in the programme however.

How awful that so many on here call. KH a "vile woman". She is opinionated, attention-seeking and prone to exaggeration, but otherwise a breath of fresh air in the overly-PC world we now live in. Her weight "experiment" is a bit of a joke/publicity stunt, but so what, some people will take some inspiration from it. Not everyone who is fat is gluttonous (as KH implies) but some surely are, and many slim people think exactly the same thoughts as KH openly states. So, OP, IMO, YANBU.

Rich Teas do you also feel the same about racism and homophobia Or do you just like to stick to "safer prejudices"

I'm not 100% certain she isn't Farage...

I HATE katie Hopkins, she is a pustulent boil on the arse of humanity, a complete waste of air, i wish she'd disappear up her own backside, she would probably feel at home alongside all the shit she spouts.

RichTeas, are you for real? KH is 'a breath of fresh air'? She's a vicious, vindictive, worthless piece of shit.

Katie Hopkins Being discussed on the Last Leg now. Fantastic Worth a catch up on channel 4+1

I really like her!

I just loved the interview on this morning where she was slagging off certain names for children. She doesn't like pace names like Brooklyn. So had to laugh when Philip schofield said but your dds name is India.
yabu for agreeing with anything she says. I am obese but I am not lazy.

After their fab critique of KH they cut to commercial and the first trailer was for Shut Ins Britains Fattest People.

I think Adam Hills did a great character assassination but I don't think you can say (as he did) that she is possibly worse than a Paedophile. As much as I love Adam Hills, that just isn't funny.
