It's disappointing when a Fat Girl is discriminated against because of her size. It's
even more disappointing when a successful Fat Girl feels the need to lose weight to
conform to society's standards of what she should look like. Here is a list of some
former Fat Girls we believe were perfect just the way they were, even if they didn't:
- Janeane Garafalo (actress, comedianne) Admitted to losing weight so she could get more movie offers.
- Oprah Winfrey - (TV talk show host, actress) Kudos to her for eating healthy and exercising. Still, it seems like she's not 100% happy with herself unless she keeps her weight under control.
- Rikki Lake - (actress, TV talk show host) Couldn't get any more movie work after she outgrew her teenage years so she shed a bunch of weight claiming she was "re-inventing" herself. After the birth of her first child, she did everything she could to hide her weight gain as if it were something to be ashamed of.
- Kathy Najimy - (actress) Was doing quite well as a fat girl and then went and lost a bunch of weight. Don't get us wrong - it's great that she's healthy but it seems like her whole attitude changed when she lost the weight.
- Carnie Wilson - (singer) Probably best known as "The Fat Chick" from the 80's pop group "Wilson Phillips". Not only did she have gastric bypass surgery, she had it broadcast live over the internet. Blech!
