So I wasn't even sure if I wanted to post this but I just kept thinking about it so I'm just gonna do it. What do you guys think about all the news about the mom from the show Here Comes Honey BooBoo? Mama June is her name. Now I will admit, I've never seen the show and I've judged her pretty harshly in the past. I try not to be a petty b***h but sometimes I am. And I think I am about her. So I'm not sure if this is me being a b***h or something else.

I hate all the news coverage on her. I think the main reason is they are making it seem like it's just so fast and easy. Like, boom, have the surgery and then boom, have the body lift and you are done! lol! But she doesn't even look like she's really done yet!! It's like she had her extra stomach and next removed but her lower legs and lower arms look just as full. It kind of feels like she had the VGS done and then just had a bunch of fat cut off. Maybe I'm wrong, as I've said I've never watched her shows but I feel like the impression they are giving with this is that the VGS is like some quick and easy shortcut, the results don't seem overly impressive on her and I kind of hate that she might be the face of the VGS for people. I resent that for reasons that might point to me being petty.

How do you guys feel about it, if anything?

I think its great that she is finally taking pride in her appearance. She looks great. No matter what wls surgery you have, if you've damaged your body by weighing over 460 pounds, you are bound to have some body damage that cant be fixed by surgery. I never liked her myself either but she looks like she's taking pride in her appearance and I applaud her for that. She never said it was a 123 quick fix. She is also trying to teach her whole family to eat right . I think she looks great and is now healthy , isn't that what we are striving for not just the physical attributes.

I've seen a few commercials, I think the show has a pretty small scale audience, in the big picture. I definitely don't think Edcucated or Intellegent people would use her story solely to get a full picture. It's "reality" TV, it's meant to be entertaining. I had a sleeve, and never looked to see her story, I wouldn't help her ratings. To me personally I don't care what she does, I just hope it's better for her poor Family.
