As someone who has had an emotional attachment to food most of my life, and who has struggled with my weight for many years (I am currently at my heaviest for 12 years) I was intrigued to watch what Katie Hopkins discovered during her ridiculous challenge to gain 3-4 stone in 3 months (its bad enough for us to increase our fat mass by this much but to do it in such a short space of time can do irreversible damage). I think I learnt more about her than she did about anyone else. I do agree with what she has said - if you consume more calories than you burn then you will indeed gain fat. And at one point I thought she had gained some compassion and realisation that there is so much more to losing weight than stopping eating and getting active. For many many people it is the emotional and mental walls that are the hardest to overcome. I was thinking, well done Katie for putting yourself on national television and openly showing the way you treat people is unjustified, based on inaccurate opinions.....Then she goes and says stupid things like I hate fat people for making me do this and I still wouldnt hire someone if they are fat and I realise that my first impression of her was right, she is a waste of oxygen, roaming the planet intent on making herself famous, and therefor gaining financially, from other peoples unhappiness. I wont be watching the second hour because quite frankly she is vile, she is not benefiting the nation with any useful fact based information about weight control. She is just an offensive, bullying hypocrite (by that I am referring to her previous statements calling people who named their children after places all sorts of awful derogatory names when she, infact, has a daughter named India!!! Glass houses and stones come to mind) who does not warrant anymore airtime. Rant over.
