The Battle of the Bulge

Tuesday August 18th, 2009

Wendy has struggled with weight all of her life.

She always says, “once a fattie, always a fattie” and fights every day to maintain her weight and eat a healthy diet.

During “Ask Wendy,” Diana told Wendy how she is struggling to lose weight, but doesn’t have the support of her family.

Tell Us: Do you struggle with your weight and body image? Can you relate to Diana and Wendy?

  1. Yes, Wendy I know how you feel, all of my friends in high school were a size 0 to size 4 and I am a size 12. It really sucked to be the only one who couldn’t share clothes, and be the last one to get attention from guys. Since then i’ve really just been focusing on loving myself more and not worrying so much about the number in my jeans. You’re beautiful Wendy! But feeling good now still doesn’t erase the memory of an insecure past and I can totally relate. Love you Wendy!! Keep doin your thang!! Your show always brightens up a gloomy day!

  2. how u doing Wendy! i watch your show all the time i love how real u are! you just keep it real and tell it like it is. i wish i could be like you with such confidence to speak my mind and to let people know exactly how i feel. i am more of a big mush who loves everyone i am very forgiving and i have been known, according to my fiancé to let people walk all over me and take advantage of me. how can i be more confident and put my foot down. I recently lost one of my best friends because for the first time in my 10 year friendship with her i stood up for my self and finally told her off. everyone around me is proud of me that i stood up for my self because they all say she would walk all over me and used me, so if that’s the case why do i feel so bad? we have not spoke to each other in 5 months her birthday is tomorrow and i sent her a message saying happy birthday and i got no response what should i do?

  6. Well….., This is hard because I went off to school and was interested in helping others in the health care field. I have been a Nurse for 21 yrs. I have given my life to help others save or improve theirs, now I want to live a better life with a focus on taking care of myself. I have gained possibly 200lbs since nursing school. It concerns me because as a health care worker you give instructions to patients on how to maintain the optimal healthy state to avoid re admission. I am concern about my colleagues also. We need to learn how to help ourselves instead of working in an out of body experience. What I mean is that we work as if our instructions on health care are not for us.

  7. Hi wendy im overweight and i have been all my life but i just need some support from family and friends so i can be like everyone else…….

  8. Hi, Wendy. I am overweight now but I didnt get really heavy until I turned 40. As a teen I was painfully thin. Now that I am 60, I don’t mind the extra weight. My doctor is concerned about the health risks though. If I lose weight then I won’t have any breasts or legs to speak of.

  16. Hi Wendy, how you doin’? I have always been overweight, even as a small child. I try and try to lose weight and I feel it would be easier for me if I had the support of my family and friends. Throughout my life I was called the usual names for being fat and it just seemed to hurt more when it came from my family. I have two older sisters that were just cruel about it especially the one I was closest to. It wasn’t until I reached 32 yrs. old that she said she thought calling me names would get me to lose weight or push the food away, but it just made matters worse. I heard on the show that you battled your weight for years and that it still is a battle for you. I was wondering if you could let me know how you lost the weight because I have a lot of health issues now and I am only 38 yrs. old and I feel that my health will improve if I can lose the weight, I am 218 lbs. and only 5’2″. I haven’t been in a close relationship with a man since I was 30 yrs. old and I am sooo tired of being alone.
    I would love it if you would start a weight lose club so maybe those of us with weight problems will have moral support. Please contact me back!!!!!

LOVE U RAMONA

  18. Hi Wendy! “How YOU doin’?”
    1st, big ups on your induction into the Radio Hall of Fame! It is recgonition that’s very well deserved.
    2nd, you & I lived parallel lives on opposite coasts–you in the East, me in the West. We had educated middle-class African American parents that kept us in the know and in the scene; the Jack & Jill, Links Cotillion, sorority/fraternity (my mother was a Delta & my Dad’s an Omega) “brats” that were a good foot taller & 25 lbs heavier than the average girl in elementary, middle, & high school. I remember & think often of how I was beat up by a group of girls in kindergarten that took off my underwear & tried to flush them down the toilet, only for the teacher to take them & hang them to dry in a tree right outside of class that all could see!
    My beautiful, popular, petite yet fiesty Mother didn’t know what to do with me! She married a man 6′-91/2″while she stood 5’6″ perplexed with a daughter 6′ barefoot. The only comfort I got was in food because it didn’t judge me.& the saga begins…
    It’s taken me YEARS to LEARN to LOVE MYSELF! And that revelation came when I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma 3 days after my birthday 2 years ago–October 9, 2007. I am Faithful, but I still have my “aaaawww Damn!” moments when my clothes don’t fit & I gain 40 lbs of water in 3 days; or my feet & legs swell like overstuffed bologna logs with stub toes!
    We are one & the same, Miss Wendy! When you smile, I smile; when you frown, I checking to see who’s trying to mess with my day. But you are the personification of all things good, and real, and you inspire young women and men to be all they can be in every moment that there is…I get it, and you, Miss Wendy!!
    You are more than just a “friend in my head,” you are a friend to me in my HEART!!!
