Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I figured she had the surgery, its a publicity stunt telling the truth after all this time.

Yahoo has highlights of the interview.

I think she is coming out with a talk show this fall. (Perhaps with Courttv) This could be part of her publicity campaign to put a new face on the old Star.. She probably needed to come clean if she was going to be taken seriously at the new job.

She sounds like a different person.. maybe the counseling or coaching has helped her gain perspective.

I liked the article KPW, thanks.

It's hard to see why she would be ashamed of having the surgery. I don't get it, but it seems she's over that now. I think those who know what the procedure involves and the lifestyle changes that are required, know it is not a quick fix or easy way out. It's anything but that.

It is my understanding that you must pass the approval of a medical doctor to get the surgery, so she need not be afraid that people will opt for it just because she had it. It must be medically recommended.

I wonder if she misses food.

I could understand her not wanting to share the information until she was good and ready. I believe it is hard enough to make lifestyle changes... and to be in a position to have to defend them does not make sense to me... until one is good and ready. Good for her... she looks nice and healthy.

It seems that since they can't make fun of Star's size, they have moved on to her husband. Man, every where I look, there is talk about her husband being gay. Is it true? WHy would she marry a gay man if she knew it. She is not a dumb woman, so I don't understand how that could happened, if indeed he is gay.

I saw a photo of Star on the beach sitting in a lounge chair with her dog. Her husband was sitting behind her pretty far away and facing the opposite direction. You would'nt even know they were together. Kinda odd.

There were scads of rumors swirling before she ever married him..

Who knows.. I heard one blowup was about him being out all the time..

I heard there was trouble in the marriage early on.. but you can't believe the tabloids and snippets floating out in cyber space.

It's their business I guess. But it does look odd that you can't even sit together on the beach... Maybe one was catching rays and the other people watching.. I know I've shifted my chair at the beach to get out of a partial shadow or to face away from the sun.. But at least I'm usually sitting with my husband in some capacity. Camera angles can be deceptive.. He could have been just a couple feet from her..

The one thing in the article that I was surprised at and don't know if it was really true.. She listed her highest weight at being about 310... I would have guessed she was much larger than that..

Some people don't look as heavy as they really are and others I guess can be lighter than they look.. But I would be surprised if she's just not fessing up with how high the scale really got.
