I just saw a friend post on Facebook about Drew Carey's massive weight loss. He's lost 80 pounds! But their post wasn't encouraging at all, it just said "Sorry Drew Carey, but you looked better fat." 6 people had "liked" it, and several had commented agreeing, and saying things like "some people should just stay fat." It really upset me, because I'm thinking "way to go Drew!" and also "will they be saying the same about me?" It's not enough to deter me, I'm almost 50 pounds down and that number is gonna keep dropping... but still, it's hard to reconcile. Anyone else wanna "weigh in" on this?
some people do look better with a little meat on them but there is being chubby and being dangerously over weight. i think drew carrey looks better now then he did when he was very very large but i hate to admit it I think he looked better when he was a little chubby. XD
Ok, I have to admit... my dad lost a ton of weight a few years back and I thought he did look better a bit chubbier (not all the way but not as skinny as he got). But I would NEVER say that to him and was thrilled he lost the weight!!!! He's healthier now and will be around longer as a wonderful grandfather to my kids so I seriously have no complaints (and sure hope he keeps it off!).
I'm having to adjust to the fact that while my body has improved immensely, my face has not appreciated the weight loss. For the first time in my life, I look my age. I'm not willing to trade back but it is a bit discouraging.
I agree that some do look better with a little meat left on them. For instance, Star Jones, I think, looks horrible now and looked better at heavier weights. If she were fit and toned she would look better, but she just looks saggy and droopy.
the main picture that i keep seeing floating around of him as the "skinny drew", hes wearing an ugly suit w/ a bow tie. i honestly think its more THAT picture, and the outfit that hes wearing that doesnt look good. but if you see some of the other pictures, he looks great! good for him. people shouldnt say things like that.. he's gotten healthier, everyone should be saying nothing but good things.
It's true that for some reason, a lot of people (not all) who have been heavy and then lost weight, lose in their faces, and it's more noticeable there. Perhaps because there is some skin sag, I don't know. People sometimes make remarks about someone looking "too skinny" when the person is at a normal weight and in fact has some fat around their middle, but they have a thin face.
The main reason to lose weight has to be for health reasons, especially for those who are obese and have lots to lose. Sad to say, the body just isn't going to turn out looking like a teen's does.
So, I'd say, lose your weight, and forget about the people and their judgments. If your doctor says you're OK, that's whom you should believe.
In my opinion, people who lose a bunch of weight and look "bad," look so because they lost it really fast by cutting calories, and not building enough muscle underneath, so then they look gaunt and hangy, like droopy the dog.
People always look better when they are healthy! Sometime people have extra saggy skin from weight loss and that may make them look older, unhealthy or ill; that's when skin tightening may be useful. Skin or not the healthy option is the better option!
I'm sure part of it too is that he himself was a character - so it wasn't just as if Drew Carey lost weight, but because his image is SO MUCH of who he was as a comedian, its hard to see him with the new look.

Maybe you're on to something. That's the only picture I have seen of him and I thought he looked horribly pale and sickly.
"You looked better fat!"
