Chrissy Metz Opens Up About Her Weight, Confidence And Inspiring Others | Megyn Kelly TODAY 

I don't think she will make 55 at this rate though. That ain't cool. It's sad

@@jnolette1030 Exactly! She is morbidly obese and has even gotten bigger in recent years. As beautiful as she is, her health is at stake here.

I just finished binging This is Us on Netflix. I've never seen anything like it.

And this attitude is why the obesity epidemic is growing almost unchecked. It is not empowering. It is sad. But you go girl! Yaaaassss kaween!

@@jnolette1030 I agree she is beautiful. But, let's get real here about her weight. She is morbidly obese and has even gotten bigger since the first season of "This is Us". She can barely walk or stand and most of her scenes in the last season have her sitting down while others are standing. She is now age 41 and this is the age where if one does not lose weight and adapt healthier lifestyle choices, they will start having serious weight and poor lifestyle related health issues. I doubt she will live past age 60 if she does not lose this weight. And her acting roles will be limited too. As much as we all would love to embrace all body sizes and shapes, comments like mine are not about "fat shaming". We are trying to encourage "good health" and there is NO way she is healthy at this weight. No way.

@@SilkyShish I agree completely

You can’t change anything about yourself until you love yourself the way you are.

@@whitneydavis7443 Very true. But, I don't think Chrissy doesn't love herself. I think her self-esteem is pretty good from what I have seen in her interview and when she talks about herself. The issue is she is not motivated to care enough about her health and is lazy. Not everyone who is this obese has low self-love and not everyone who is fit or thin have good self-love or good self-esteem. The size of the body and shape has little to do with our self-esteem and self-care and self-love. I have always been naturally thin because I have a super fast metabolism. But, that didn't make me feel more confident or love my body or myself more than an overweight person. I got into fitness for my health and to gain strength and muscle tone, not to lose weight. It took me a while to love my body as is even though I now I have a fit and healthy body. I think her issue is just lack of self-care about her weight and lack of motivation to care about her health. If she stays at this weight as she ages more she will have huge health issues and won't live past age 60.

Wafa Mzoughi Finally a positive comment about her

Wafa Mzoughi they should have her star in more movies

Eating yourself to death by 55 isn't something to love about yourself

Yeah but it sure is a long way through right?

​​@@alexvanderben9682 aw, look, everybody, little Alex made a funny....bless your little heart! Everybody, a round of applause for little Alex's funny! 👏 👏👏👏 Here you go, little Alex! 🍪🍪

You have zero idea what an individual goes through. No one decides to be fat. You can’t possibly say anything to a fat person that they haven’t said to themselves a million times. It’s so awesome you think life is so simple. You think saying she’s fat, making some sort of emphatic statement is suddenly going to “wake” her up to an epiphany and you will have changed her life forever with your awesome truth that she just must not realize that she’s fat? You are the one that needs a wake up call. Guess what? She knows.

@@sharonhutchins5784 Obviously she doesn’t if she shows up day after day to be on TV looking like she has her own gravity well.

@@GozerTheGozerian some people love to be toxic and negative instead of having a positive attitude and actually offering help instead of unkind words. How many people offer fat people support by walking with them. Coming over and exercising, being an accountability partner, buying them a year to the gym. Talk is cheap and of you only "love" "care " about someone based in how they look your very narcissistic and shallow..

@@sharonhutchins5784 - I agree that no one truly knows what an individual goes through in life, but only if we don't know them personally. But, I absolutely disagree with you when you say, 'no one decides to be fat". That just sounds like an excuse. We definitely choose to be fat or unhealthy to a degree. Yes, some people have slower metabolisms than others, but at the end of the day an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise or no exercise = weight gain = unhealthy body. It is a fact.

​@@sharonhutchins5784someone once told StripTessa that her opinion matters 😉

@@SilkyShish yes I agree her weight could become a problem in later years the truth must be recognised for her own sake, she's a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice, but she must face the facts her weight is a health problem, God bless her always ❤ 🇬🇧

@@maggieboo8142 Not to be rude, but to put it bluntly, her weight WILL become an issue as she continues to start to age. It is not a matter of "if", but "when". It is a fact that excessive weight, lack of exercise and poor diet all lead to major health, mobility and body issues. The only reason Chrissy is not experiencing the "weight" (no pun intended) of any healthy issues yet due to her obesity is she just turned 42 a week ago. Now she is at an age where her health and mobility will start to decline every year she ages. I don't know of you noticed in the last season of "This is Us",a large chunk of her scenes were with her sitting down while other cast members were standing. For her own health and mortality, she needs to lose weight. Also, if she wants to continue as an actress she unfortunately will need to lose weight as roles for her are limited. They shouldn't be limited as I don't believe in discrimination, but the hard fact is there are not many roles that require a morbidly obese actress except maybe for character roles.

Hello sweet soul friend how are you doing today?

Agreed I doubt she is saying that's she is healthy. But there is something a thin person can see when they look at an overweight and there are things going on inside. The inside stuff is very complex.

I hear what you’re saying but celebrated is not the correct term. We should simply allow people to be who they want to be. I believe plus sized people deserve love and respect as much as the next thin person. What ruins people’s lives is the judgement from society that causes way more scarring than any amount of weight. We should celebrate whenever a person is ready to drop the pounds and respect them if it’s not their goal at all

I agree with you. I’ve noticed that any time anyone brings up her weight on the comment section they get all kinds of hate for it. I’m all for body positivity, but everyone needs to be realistic. She’s morbidly obese. There’s no way that it’s healthy. She’s such a beautiful and talented actress but I worry about her having serious health problems from the obesity. People felt the same way about John Goodman’s weight, but because he’s a man no one says anything about people bringing up his weight, but God forbid you bring up a woman’s.

self love means taking care of yourself, not getting so overweight, that is TRUE self love

Chris Rackley I know right. If I were here I’d be trying to get to the root of my weight gain issues!

everevolvingmama thank you.

@@leatherheart7081 Yes, she is setting an example that is it okay to be this unhealthy and have health issues and die at a young age when one is this morbidly obese. As much as we want to embrace all shapes and all sizes. The reality is she is morbidly obese and she will have health and mobility issues as she continues to age and most likely will not live past age 60 if she doesn't start to shed some pounds. She is only 41 and you can tell by watching the 6th season of the show she can barely walk or stand and has to sit down for most of her scenes now.

​@@SilkyShishbut you embrace anorexia

Gaby42191 not really. She has a disease and she should be cured. Obesity is a disease.

Ignorance shining it's brightest.... 🤦

If she loved herself she wouldn't weigh 400+ lbs.

I still can't comprehend after entire life of being big, being on diets to please others why its anyone else's business or place to comment on someone's weight!

It's a shame you think she hasn't. Didn't you see the umpteen photos from her childhood she showed here? She's obviously struggled since childhood. Not every body is the same. Undoing what happened in childhood isn't a simple matter of "derrr, okay, I'll put the fork down." It's a f#$ing struggle to find what works for your body. Lucky you, you won the metabolism lottery! Here ya go! 🏆 You should be feeling smug about something like being a good person...oh, wait--you can't 😅

@@LindaC616 Nice reply to a 3 year-old comment. I was nothing but nice (unlike you). I said I wish her the best and hope she makes the changes for her health. Also, let's be honest for a second. It is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to be that size or anything over 400 lbs. unless your lifestyle contributes to it, period. There are lots of kids that are heavy and lose weight when they are older. Watch a few episodes of My 600 lb Life. The amount of calories, junk food, and lack of exercise involved to get to that size is off the charts, She may be your hero, but if she was abusing alcohol or drugs instead of food you would probably look at it different. Either way none of it is healthy.

@@Artstar2 your reading skills lack a lot. I have never said she's my hero. She's just a human being, who deserves to live her life. It's pretty obvious from your viewing choices that you need to see other people's lives in a train wreck to feel happy about your own

@@SilkyShish she's super morbidly obese, not obese, not curvy. She needs a serious intervention. Why hasnt she tried gastric bypass? Or maybe she has but she won't live long if she doesn't do something soon

​@@kittykat4313doctors wouldn't perform that surgery on her at that weight. Btw--I know someone who's been vegetarian all her life by choice, was chubby a nanosecond as a teen, still had a serious heart attack in her 30s. And at least three people who had the surgery bc they let society bully them into thinking that it would be a magic pill, the weight would disappear, and all of their problems would be solved. Guess what? None of that happened. After going through the expense and pain of the surgery, in some cases permanently and irreversibly altering a part of their body, going through discomfort at mealtimes on the regular, the weight came back. For some of them, it was not a magical, enforced self-discipline--they'd still overeat. There's a balance between the physical and the psychological that is different for everyone, and it can be a nightmare to figure it all out. But when you're running that race, and dragging at the end, the false sympathy means f$%kall if someone stands there and screams "you're not gonna make it!"

She never mentioned anything about her being “healthy”. Yet it’s interesting that’s all you focus on. She just said that her weight doesn’t define her identity in her mind, which is true.

There is a show in England about obese people versus skinny people. Europe has obesity too.

They mustn't be from Germany

FemBot I haven't seen many comments that are shaming Chrissy. Almost every comment is about the dangerous lessons that are taught by accepting this weight as normal. I asked my nine year old daughter what she thought when I showed her this video. She said that Chrissy is beautiful, but she needs to be healthier so she can live longer. Even a child can point out the beauty in Chrissy while also understanding that her weight is not healthy.

Agree with you. No one is fat shaming anyone. Its a fact that being this morbidly overweight = health risks and issues.

@@x-lobrown7832 Fat shaming and fatphobia is couched in "concerns" about a fat person's health so yeah its all about being offended by fat people daring to be recognized, represented, respected and fighting for their rightful place as _humans_ in society. Fat bigotry is the last acceptable and open form of bigotry in the first world and now that we are speaking up about it, the status quo is trying it's hardest to shut us down with these healthier so called "concerns" most of which has hateful tones. They don't care about health at all but the fact that fat people are becoming more visible and daring to be happy and self confident and not having to lose weight and the status quo can't _stand that_ Fat acceptance and body positivity is gaining ground in society, especially among younger people, whether you want it to or not. Whether you like it or not. Society is changing to a more compassionate, empathetic paradigm and its not going to be stopped by hateful people.

@Sophie Hart But why is it YOUR concern? You dont know this woman and what she does or doesn't do in her life. Further more you dont know her health status yet you ASSUME it due to the bias and bigotry you have been brainwashed into by the media, the diet industry and diet culture. Also even if she is "unhealthy" I dont see you passing judgement on the millions of unhealthy SKINNY people out there who are just as unhealthy as you purport fat people to be if not more so since skinny people are thought and believed to be "healthy" yet type diabetes and other metabolic diseases are on the rise due to something called skinny fat. Thins eat more unhealthy junk food than fat people just look at so.e of the mukbangs on here, yet you would pass on harsh, bigoted judgement on fat people if they did the same. No one from any of these movements are trying to "glamorize" or "glorify" obesity. They just want more visibility and representation. They just want the vilification and discrimination to end amd to be treated with dignity and respect like all other humans. You are not throwing the health cars here because you are oh so concerned about a fat person's health status. No you believe that the fatties are beneath you and you are afraid that if they gain rights and visibility it means that skinny people are no longer important or superior as they are now and body size would be equalized. It will happen in the future. You are afraid of losing the perch you so enjoy which is the crux behind your concern trolling. Again the health of fat people does not matter as thin people can be just, if not more unhealthy, than fat people. Your issue with them is just pure prejudice and hatred which by the way, there is a study that has shown that sizeism is just as prevalent as racism and sexism. Another one states that fat people probably get these diseases because of constant inflammation due to high amounts of cortisol hormones in their bodies to due to their marginalization in society alone. Maybe do some more reading on REAL obesity research and not those that are funded by the diet companies. But I'm sure you won't because being hateful towards fat people increase that dopamine in your brain. Hate is a drug.

@@LindaC616 Lol. So, now you are clairvoyant and know me? Lol. Give it a rest. You're now coming across as completely irrational and off your rocker. How old are you? 12? You think because I care about my health and not being overweight it makes me shallow and insecure? Lol. OMG! Your ignorant comments really make me laugh. I care about my health and not being overweight because I want to be able to be alive and healthy for my kids and be alive to meet my grandchildren. And, as I continue to age, I want to be healthy and fit so, I am not disabled and unable to walk or move around because of being overweight. I want to be able to be able to walk up a flight of stairs and be able to breathe and not be hindered due to being overweight and unhealthy. And anyone with any good sense should care about taking care about their health and weight so, they themselves don't suffer AVOIDABLE WEIGHT RELATED HEALTH ISSUES and where their loved ones are not having to be burdened with taking care of them due to their own poor lifestyle and poor health choices. Grow up hunny and get a life.

@@LindaC616 I just took a look at your profile photo. You are overweight. That explains alot. Instead of attacking people for pointing out the reality of being overweight as being the cause of an early death and also the cause of avoidable health and body mobility issues, why don't you hit the gym and start eating healthier instead? That may help you with your obvious raging anger, resentment and insecurity towards the healthy fit people.

That’s the problem. You don’t have a right to know or to even ask.

Jesse it’s actually “easy” to lose weight at that size

Weight loss at a slow pace like 10 grams a week is highly recommended in order to keep in off longer. Hence, she doesn't compensate that loss the week following? It could become repetitive.

Hello Mariola, how are you doing today?

Uh, Gabby didn't win the Oscar. She was only nominated. But both she & Chrissy are disgustingly big.
