Please do not take any of this response personal....this is just my rant.

It makes me incredibly sad that there is such stigma tied to a womans weight. I know this is off point of your question, but it irritates me that media feels that any woman over a size 8 is fat...heaven forbid she be over a size 14...heavy women deal with so many stigma's...they are invisible to many, treated rudely, made fun of in the media and feel out of place and uncomfortable most of the time.

Now, on to your question...if a woman has breast inhancement surgery or a facelift..it is basically off limits or tacky to ask...but if a woman loses weight...suddenly she needs to reveal her life story??? Why is that??

I say good for anyone who makes positive changes in their health..and it is up to the individual as to whether they tell or not. She is enjoying a new respect for her body and self...she should be able to enjoy both without predjudice of how she accomplished it. And for all we know, she is eating healthier and exercising to maintain things...applaud her for doing whatever it takes...and leave it at that IMHO.

Off the soapbox. Again, no disrespect intended.
