Dr. Phil isn't really overweight...he's just BIG. See, men can get by with being BIG... women can't! Whoever heard of a BIG woman looking good because she had a BIG frame and carried her weight well... I mean get real... people SAY that but REALLY! I'm tall and people never believe I weight 185. They say, yeah but you're tall and you can carry it. BUT I DON'T WANNA CARRY IT!!!!!!! I should weigh about 140 (if I was 20) to 160 ... (which is probably about right for me now.) I only weighed 135 when I got married but I'm sure I'll never weigh that again unless I get so sick I can't eat! I, seriously, I think big men don't look as bad as big women ... I watched David Letterman and the thing they did when they were standing side by side ... after Dr. Phil took his jacket off was funny. They did it like a 'showdown' kind of thing and Dr. Phil was making fun of Letterman saying he had seen more meat on a chicken leg or something. It was hilarious. Dr. Phil was giving Letterman advise on being a father (he's 'expecting') ... the whole show was really funny!

I wrote Dr. Phil an email and told him he left one important group of people out of his selected group of 12 he has in his 'house' on his show. He put 12 people in a house for a week and is going to select 8 of them to follow for 10 months to help them lose weight. He said at the start of this that he selected someone in those 12 that everyone in America could relate to ... well he messed up. There was not one person in that group who had health challenges. Every single person could exercise and no one was on medication that they mentioned. I told him that in the email I sent him. He kept harping on relations, spouse abuse, sex abuse, past, self hate, stress at work, kids etc. and I told him some of us had great spouses and great kids, wonderful homes, jobs we love but we were on medication that had caused us to gain weight and we can't exercise. I told him the Drs. were always telling me my blood was low and I needed to eat to get it up and my weight was high and I needed to get it down but they never did tell me HOW. Then I told him he left out a whole group of overweight Americans! I don't ever expect to hear from him!!!

Default Hey There

Meme-GOOD FOR YOU.I don't think much of Dr. Phil.. I think he degrades the women more than he helps..I can' t stand his shows. He was the reason I stopped watching Opra when he was on.His maucho attitude towards people that need assistance is all for ratings and showmanship..
The people he puts on those shows are hand picked. Who in their right mind is going to sob before the world...BAH!!!
Got to go before I get in trouble.......Joanne
