Did anyone watch the supersize vs superskinny thing last night?

[OriginalFlame]

TV dead and I missed it... is it worth trying to find it to download/on demand or not?

(Obv when new tv arrives )

I wasn't that impressed. God didn't she have great boobs though. She was too skinny, but THOSE BOOBS !!

Are they real ?

Hey Guys...

Firstly thankyou all for watching last night :-) I am currently gathering my thoughts as i am very upset about the show last night..it was edited so much and twisted my story.. they cut out the fact that the 12 week diet they put me on made me very ill and i had to change it as i couldnt get out of bed for the 1st 4 weeks, i had to go back for further medical tests where Dr Christian admits on camera that he was wrong ..and that bread (wheat) was not good for me and was making me unwell..they also cut my Caeliac tests and the fact that i had a capsule endoscopy the day after i came out..where they found i had stomach ulcers, scarring etc etc ..so they lied and said there was nothing digestive wrong..infact Dr Christain actaully said on camera..also cut, that it was all the fruit i ate that caused my stomach ulcers..i thought this was a very important fact for everyone. they also edited my mum saying she thought I ate loads and always have like a pig, that i just loose weight and that she is slim and i have always been slim and sporty..but this didn't go with "THEIR" profile so they left this out. I eat loads but they made it look like i didn't ..there was loads other stuff missing including me finishing most of Darrels big chicken curry or the fact that when i was crying after eating the roast..the reason being was that they had contaminated me with dairy after having strict orders from the medical prof not to give me dairy as my lactose intollerance is so severe.. i was so ill..they did not show this either. Oh and the fish thing.. i actually was saying fish with sodium nitrate preservative gives me migraine...not just fish and infact i love fish..especailly king prawns in garlic.. in fact the Dr said it didn't give me migarines in fact "IT DID GIVE ME A MIGRAINE" and he had to get me pain killers and i had to wear dark glasses in the house. There is so much stuff i could write i just don't know where to stop (rather than start)!!!!

MY BREASTS::: LOL I knew that would be everyones first question.. well "My Breasts" I should set the story straight:

Since the age of 16 i have had 6 breast lumps removed. As a teen i had very large breasts up until 16 and developed early..so for me to then loose them as they began removing bits was devestating. I then had my son who is now seven and i felt even less feminine, it was at this point that i decided to put back what they'd taken out basically and infact despite what someone has said above that they are not the natural implant shape .. infact they are they are the tea drop ones..what happened in the show is that they put a bra on me at the end that was majorly gel filled/padded and it also pushed my breats straight up..that and makeup and fake tan (whilst in the house we had to be natural..this then had a bigger impact at the end when u compare before and after..cos they caked me in makeup at the end..of cause i will look healthier). Also when i had my implants i had not lost all the weight and when 1st had them done they looked very natural no one even knew..but as i lost weight and they didn't it became apparent. However, i am still really happy i had them done as it boosted my confidence loads..i just wanted to be back to what i was when younger..don't we all, i don't think there is anything wrong with plastic surgery.. i did also contemplate fixing my broken nose (u may have noticed..a bike accident when 10) but i chickened out..i wish i had done it now.. as age sets in i am becoming less brave. If it helps a person feel confident and more feminine i see nothing wrong with plastic surgery..within moderation!!! I hope that answers your questions LOL :-)

Well i am emotionally exhausted and also starving.. i do actaully eat like a pig .. i am going to have 2 eggs, parma ham, a whole tin of baked beans and deep fried thin cut chips... hmmm i best go. any questions please send them to me through this site and my contact me page on my website www.yasminsmith.co.uk i will try and respond as quick as possible as you can understand i am over run with emails etc.

Again thanks to everyone for their support and kind words.

Kind Regards

Yasmin Smith

lol @ Yasmin's shameless self-promotion on this thread.

@ 'watch my show'

Marvellous

self promotion..thanks very much, u have no idea what went into this show. of cause i want people to watch my episode of the show..it has taken over the last 8 months of my life and was one of the hardest things i have ever had to do..i contacted the show as a last result and desperation as I had been to loads of Dr's and so many tests..in,out, up, down etc etc I was so ill and didn't know where else to turn.. i needed the access to the various medical profs they gave me..especailly the nutriciansit..that was my main reason for embarking on such a task..it was not easy for me or my family..maybe you should think beyond the obvious before you speak!!! Despite the misleading elements i am still very proud of myself and Darell, the show does not show half of it. I have put on weight..through my own variation of a diet they gave me. I cannot eat wheat still but i have found allernatives and I am having loads of soya which is what has helped me put on the weight I am now 9 stone.. the only other major points I have changed in my diet is; cutting oyut huge portions of fruit..which resulting in my stomach ulcers and eat fish once/twice a week and when out i don't worry as much about being contaminated..but i still get very ill if i eat wheat or dairy or sodium nitrate and other preservatives. Instead of skipping a meal cos i can't find soemthing without wheat.. i will now eat the bread..and be sick after. but i am not allowed dairy still.. lactose makes me very poorly still..the show can't cure this!!

Yas, Mumsnet is a member based chatroom.
And if you post on a thread, as a newbie, promoting something, although it is clearly something that was deep/diverse/ and difficult for you, then as NDP says, that is actually self promotion.

Big thanks to Darell and his wife. I have spoken to them today and wanted to thank them for their kind words. I also wanted to say well done to Darell as he has lost 5 stone and still going..he has done amazingly well, keep it up :-) I couldn't have done it without him..his encouragement in the house and after has been unquestionable.. I could not have got through and eaten half the stuff without his encouragement!! :-) Best Wishes to the whole family x

Is Darrell on here ?

Why are you thanking him here ?

I know what you mean but the idea was i was promoting the idea of what i thought the show was about..i thought my story might help others.. i didnt intend this to be self promotion in the way you mean..i was excited to share my interesting experience to help others. i hope this is clear.

Well, I watched yesterdays episode, and am not surprised that you are upset Yas.
YOu do look fabulous, and I really thought that your diet was not an unhealthy one ( I mean, the one you came onto the programme for), but obviously something was missing because you were rather thin...but I didn't think you looked that thin...iykwim...however, you did look even more gorgeous at the end of the programme.
I also looked at your boobs and thought, wow...I wish...sorry to hear about teh reason for having implants...but anywya, they are marvellous.
My sis has boobs (au natural) like that dispite being thin everywhere else, so, it's not always the case that you will loose all boobs if to thin...!

As for the programme and my opinion in general about it....I thought it was a horrible programme...I mean, for instance that thing where they had the food drop down those tubes...that was just sickening...and especially if they are dealing with people they feel eat to little, how is that going to make a person want to eat more? It just looked so gross...
The Journalist that went for that colon massage etc...was good, I liked her...wonder what decision she made about her other arm in the end. And when she said about the poop she did and the Gillian comment, I had to laugh!
As for Dr. (erm) Gillian...what a rude crude stupid woman is she...how dare she make such rude comments to people she approaches on the street, etc... and how are people meant to get a helathier body perception, when even those that are actually slim are being ridiculed....some of thsoe bums they showed...well...I would not mind having one of those lovelies, instead of my own....
It does seem to become a bit of a trend right now anywya, that it doesn't seem enough to just be evil about to tin or to big...oh no...lets be evil about normal weight people, too.....

yeah, that will really help people...

I'm sorry that show result wasn't what you expected, but surely you weren't expecting a balanced sane programme showing the truth ? The title of the 'show' alone is sensationalist. As somebody in the industry, you must have realised that what appears on the TV very rarely the actual, real truth ?

he is not in here..but reads these forums as do most people involved in the show..

Oh and the fact that 'Dr' McKeith is on it should have told you all you needed to know.

fair enough re darrell

I am afraid I need to disagree with 3andnomore, when she said "but I didn't think you looked that thin".
I was very shocked and saddened by how thin you were at the beginning.
I think it is self promotion, becasue you are a model, with links to your model pictures and acing.
This programme tells your story, of course.
But it will ultimatly fuel your career.
The same reason as why any Z list celebrity does Big Brother, Get me out of here, Island or any of those type of programmes.

NDP, she didn't STILL present herself as DOCTOR Gillian, did she?
I thought we'd dispelled all those false claims

she is a weird little creature and no mistakin

hi there..threeandmore

thanks for your kind email..I am glad that someone else understands that u can have big boobs and be skinny..before i lost weight and had breast lumps out.. i was very skinny teen with big boobs naturally.. i was just lucky and very fit.. i use to be a competitive figure skater and canoe and horseride so kept in shape without needing to go to gym etc. i have always been naturally slim and have a medically proven very fast metabilsm..but they didn't show this.. i had a berium test done and instead of taking hours it took twenty mins and one scan instead of several at least..they still don't know why no medical reasons just very fast i have been told it may have been down to exercising for various sports from such a young age.. a theory...still unproven either way.

well, some of those famous size 0 girls, aka Posh, etc...do look thinner...

yes, I actually don't know why you keep including your website on here, if its not self promotion I don't know what it is.

And yes, it's NOT your show given you had no rights to it. You featured in it and the producers have probably made a lot of money out of it.
I guess if was your show, you would have been happy with the outcome.

However, you looked great at the end of the show.

tbh, not sure if Gillian calls herself dr now or not...and could not care less neither, lol!

the whole format of this show is awful Why do we always have to have these gimmicky shows on serious subjects.This country has a really f**d up problem with food and could easily deal with food and weight in a less sensational and more serious way.Gillian mckeith is horrendous too esp as weigth on teh bum is the healthiest type and doctors are mainly concerned with shifting weight from our middles

Yasmin, I have just watched the programme now on sky plus. I am very suprised at the minimal amount of weight you gained in the 12 weeks. In my opinion, you appeared to have an eating disorder which was masked by your allergies and intolerances. They give you a legitimate reason to withold from eating in your own mind. Anyway, what do I know. I hope you keep talking on this thread, it makes a pleasant change for the subject of these discussions to be able to answer back in real time. Not having a go, by the way, I am just interested in all things to do with weight loss and gain.

are you going to update your weight on your website it still shows 48kgs which is not 9 stone
I did mention self promotion earlier but actually not in a negative way. Get what you need how you can Yasmin.
BTW your son is very lovely looking lad.

I think your nose suits your face, it is quite strong and individual looking.

I would always assume mega editing of a show like that, anything that would not fit their agenda being cut and edited for maximum viewer entertainment. The make up tricks do not go un noticed, before an after - different lighting etc
Def hats off to Darrell - mega effort, hope is continues.

And I DO appreciate that many people are very slim and have big boobs. I do not, of course have a problem with that.
And my post was not jealousy based.
I have f**king GREAT Norks
