Tyra,

We know weight is big problem in America; however it does not give anyone the right to ridicule others regarding, weight, race, handicap or etc. God is the only one who can make or pass judgment on anyone of us and he looks at the heart and not the package you arrive in. Thanks for this inspirtiational message to all..we need to learn a lesson from you and move forward with your confidence.

Hey Tyra.
Just remind all those fat people who is to fat to take care of them because they can’t move. Just remind how often I end up with a 250 kg person in a air plane!!! or just look them eating make me seek.
Men who ”force” woman to be fat that way exist and I will say, they are perverse. It’s not real to don’t be able to move and use the tax money to keep them alive. Just remind you about the hospital bill and in
Europe where we have health insurance on the tax, who pay for all those fat people, to keep going because some seek men love that kind of things….
Somekind of Law who forbid that kind of things who hurt others…..
I do love your show and be honest, call things what they are, stupid or seek or what ever…but don’t forget when it’s the other way around.
Go one, somebody need a push to weak up.
Best regards
Jack
