Katie Hopkins deliberately gains weight just so she can lose it again

[StrawberryBlond 14,120]

I thought Katie Hopkins had been very quiet, recently, and now we know why...
 

Katie Hopkins could never be accused of holding her tongue in an awkward situation.

 

But the former reality TV contestant hit a new low last summer when she told an obese woman on This Morning that she wouldn't employ her because fat people give off the impression that they are lazy.

 

After a backlash from thousands of angry Brits, the 39-year-old has now ballooned from 8st 8lb to 12st to prove to overweight people across the UK that being chubby is their own fault.

 

Katie embarked on the scheme after becoming sick of hearing excuses thrown around by overweight people for their size.

 

She said: 'My project is called To Fat And Back.'

 

'One in ten of our children are starting school overweight or obese and one in three children who are fifteen or over are overweight or obese.

 

'People have always said to me, "You're lucky, you're skinny," and I just don't think these excuses are cutting it any more.

 

'I saw a story the other day about how the curtains in your bedroom not being thick enough could be making you fat. I just thought, we have to put an end to this.' 

 

Katie took extreme measures to put on 3st 5lb in just three months.

 

She stopped doing any exercise and stuck to a rigorous meal plan of fatty and sugary foods, including pasta, crisps and chocolate biscuits.

 

She told This Morning: 'I was 8st 8lb and now I'm 12st, so I put on 3st 7lb in three months.

 

'People usually put on something like a stone a year after the birth of a baby and so on, so the way I've done that, in order to become every woman, is by compressing people's lives into just a few weeks.

 

'There are obviously people who have much bigger problems than me putting on a bit of weight, but this journey has shown me what it's like.'

 

It has also succeeded in helping famously anti-fat Katie to even empathise with overweight people now.

 

She said: 'It turns out that the reason I like to stay super strong and very slim is that I suffer from epilepsy.

 

'So I want to be able to show I'm still as strong as the next person, that just because my arm dislocates 36 times a year because I have fits, I am still fit and able.

 

'So it's actually a similar reason for being thin to other people's reasons for being fat.

 

'It's about me now saying that I realise my skinny self was my armour.

 

'So for me so far, halfway through this project the conclusion has been that there are reasons for being overweight, but there are still no excuses.

 

'But also, I want to say let's recognise that I'm not lucky to be skinny, it's eating too much and no exercise that make you like that.'

 

Katie is now planning on losing the weight for a TV documentary on TLC that will air next year, to prove to overweight people that it is possible.

 

She said: 'I'm sick of being like this - I'm sick of the feeling of my stomach sitting on my legs - it's tiring being this fat, carrying all of this around.

 

'My idea is not to lose weight like one of those celeb people - I'm not going to have a nutritionist, a trainer or access to a posh gym - I'm just going to put my old trainers on and get to it.

 

'We can all come up with excuses. I'm just trying to say, have you actually got excuses?

 

'What's so great about this whole project is that there's a whole league of men and women who want to come on this journey to lose the weight with me now.

 

'Kind of like a "Lose it with Katie."

Well, she's certainly reached a whole new level of desperate to do this. She does have a point, though: obesity is too often shooed away with inaccurate excuses like genes, childbirth and weight loss being too expensive/time consuming. I wish she would take into account those with medical conditions and depression, though. She could have put on much more weight, so it won't be that hard to lose, but it'll be interesting to see if she really can snap back into shape. Her experiment is interesting, but I just wish she wasn't doing it in such a smug way as opposed to a medical or caring reason. And she's clearly doing it for more fame as it's going to be on TV.

 

But please...

 

 

Someone make that into a derp face smiley. That is the definition of a derp face smiley.

Good luck to her arteries 

[RAMROD 104,524]

That is so elaborate. :popcorn:

[Redstreak 6,653]

That sounds like a pretty terrible agenda. Why is she so desperate to try and make people feel like **** about themselves? Now all she's doing is flaunting that she can gain and lose weight while many can only gain. It comes across pretty vindictive and prejudice if you ask me.

[Dunk96 2,526]

She looks like a man and she sounds like the biggest c*nt in the UK.

I think it's good that she's answering people by using herself as an example, putting her money where her mouth is at least  What I don't think is good is her gaining weight so rapidly and losing it so rapidly, she's going to be left with a lot of stretch marks and could damage her body in the process too  But at least it'll open people's eyes and motivate them

Plus I think the way she's going about it will definitely open people's eyes and motivate them

This you, can't control your natural body type + we need to stop shaming people for being "fat"

 

Like I have a very hard time losing weight and even though I don't know her, I kinda feel offended

Welp

[Sexxx 5,533]

I saw her yesterday, and she was being genuine about it. She isn't going to have a personal trainer or nutritionist to help her lose the weight, she's planning on losing it by herself

I could never eat 6000 calories every day though :emma:
