I think you look fabulous! People will judge regardless of what weight you're at because you're a singer. I think you should go for it!

Your accomplishments in your field sound FANTASTIC! Feed your good dog more! Pump yourself up!

Stop feeding the bad dog.

I am amazed at how many times in the last 24 hrs I've said that to people here.

If you need extra mental health support, see a private counselor, attend a Recovery support group meeting, whatever it is you need to do to help you start training your dogs better so the good dog is fed MORE than the bad dog!

SHOO bad dog!

You are so beautiful and your voice is absolutely AMAZING. People judge at every size. Theres always something that someone, somewhere will nitpick about. Just can't worry or pay attention to things like that.

Your working on your weight and your down by so much so congratulations on that. If you don't take opportunities you will look back in a few years and regret. Good luck and I am offically a fan of yours now. Seriously. VOICE=AMAZING

I would definitely go for it! If it really is now or never you dont want your weight to hold you back. Would your producer push you for it if they didnt think you could succeed? And we also have artists now like Adele that show you dont have to be, or want to be, a super skinny model to be successful at singing or whatever it is you want to do in your life. I would go for it!

Not every singer is thin. However, you might get to be a Weight Watchers spokesperson as well as a singer... I think you should go for it.

An overweight singer went home with six Grammys three weeks ago.

Don't let it hold you back.

Do it !! A talent like yours is meant to be shared. Many overweight singers have had great success. Think Adele. You are too young to remember Kate Smith but she was an overweight singer from years ago and had a very succesful singing career and of course opera stars are not all model thin. Do not deprive the rest of us from your wonderful talent. Do it !!

I agree besides look at Adele she's not rail thin, and has an amazing voice.
Christina Aguilera is absolutely stunning with her weight gain and has an amazing voice.
Kelly Clarkson was never a skinny girl either American Idol told her to get thin or she'd never make it anywhere and look at her now amazing.

Three amazing beautiful singer's who have weight issues who battle the press and the negative but love themselves and are doing what they love! You should do it, it doesn't matter because in the end people are going to judge you.

Well, here's the thing. You'll be criticized no matter what, only because people love criticizing other people. Look at Angelina Jolie at the Oscars. People are criticizing her for being too skinny! and that she should eat a cheeseburger! People do judge at every size and no matter what, and like 99% of the time, the judgement isn't warranted. It's ridiculous, and people suck.

So don't let the haters hate, because haters gonna hate. I mean, look at Adele! She's so freaking fabulous and such an amazing singer and has how many Grammys? and people still call her fat! people are stupid and jealous and you know she don't let the haters hate!

So do what you love and what you want!

SERIOUSLY. "The Voice" was playing when me and the boyfriend went for burgers a couple of weeks ago, and neither one of us could stop staring at her boobs.

Great meal.

look you have nothing to be ashamed...the weight is a part of your personality and you should pursue your dream now otherwise you will always lookback and regret for not doing it when you had the chance. and chances come and go, you have to use it.
adele is one of my favorite singers, i watch her royal albert hall concert every day ...yes every day on youtube, and she is a wonder...she can fill up a place with just standing in one place without jumping around and doing some ridicolous choreography and that is what is important. you can be famous singer without performance...it's your charm, charisma and your TALENT! SO DON'T WASTE IT!!!good luck
