That is fatty patty lattie mattie jennie!!

I agree with Angelika with this one. I’m happy for Carnie and I think she’s pretty cool, even if she is a bit overweight. What determines a woman is not her weight, but her personality.

As someone who struggled with her weight until her early 20s, I think it is a sad commentary on our society that we have to judge how many months pregnant someone looks. Who the heck cares what people look like? When I was pregnant with my son I was threw up every day for 30 weeks…I only gained eleven pounds. People were constantly asking me, “Wow – you are so small. Is something wrong?” That is just as hurtful as saying – “Wow you are huge for being that far along.”

I have three nieces and I try so hard to bolster their self esteem and to respect their bodies, whatever their shape and size. It is disheartening when I read judgements on different shapes and sizes of women and hear that overweight is “unhealthy.” You know – read some of the current medical studies…being thin doesn’t mean you are healthy at all.

I wish women could support each other and not be so judgemental. Guys don’t sit around and compare belly and thigh size – it doesn’t mean the whole world needs to be rainbows and puppy dogs – it means having a mutual respect for each other.

Disappointing…

How could you compare Carnie Wilson to BROOKE BURKE?!?! That’s freakin ridiculous! Comparing someone who’s struggled with their weight their entire life and had surgery for it vs. a supermodel who went back to size 0 about 2 weeks after she had her 4th baby. Yeah, good analogy. Anyway, brooke, did you stop to realize that every WOMAN is a different bodytype and every PREGNANCY is different? Women gain different amounts of weight in different locations of their body at different times of their pregnancy. I have 4 kids, 4 pregnancies, all within a 5 year span…ALL different experiences. It’s not a cookie cutter world full of thin beautiful people. Carnie doesn’t even look like she’s pregnant in that picture – she looks like she always looks. 6 months pregnant? Whatever…

Carnie opens herself up to comments about her size because she herself yammers about it constantly, telling exactly what she eats, when she wanted to conceive, etc.

Brooke’s comments seem very mild to me, and I think it’s odd to analyze another poster based on her comments.

Congrats to Carnie, she seems like a woman that just wanted to be a mommy and it’s great to see her so happy. She obviously is indulging in pregnancy cravings and doesn’t care about how big she is going to get. Besides if you can’t eat whatever your heart desires when pregnant when can you?

Since Brooke claims to have kids, I hope they aren’t girls. They’re going to have a horrible body image/self esteem with a mom that places so much importance on looks.

She doesn’t even look pregnant to me. If she hadn’t confirmed it I never would have guessed she was.

The thing that always makes me giggle is when women immediately get bellies. I’ve seen girls who said they were 6 or 8 weeks pregnant with these bulging bellies. The baby is barely the size of a gummy bear at that point. that being said, i totally pooched out my belly in the beginning because i wanted the world to know i was pregnant:) and i knew there was no way the baby was big enough to make my belly look like that haha.

And so it begins again. Comments have been pretty good here lately but the ones allowed on this post are unbelievable. I don’t know if CBB is anti-people who are not stick thin or what (just saying, it seems like some celebs get better treatment as far as comments go), but I can’t believe some of these were allowed. I think I’m going back to not reading which sucks because I do enjoy the site and have for several years. I quit for a few months because of comments, but I came back recently. Mistake on my part.
