If this is indeed true, can anyone come up with an explanation? WHY would Michelle, the champion of good nutrition and the leader of the "let's move!!!" campaign allow herself to blow up like a balloon?
I saw that at the grocery store.. I don't know.. it looks fishy to me.
The picture to the left is clearly when she was really working on staying thin. As a person who has battled weight for ever...myself, I know that kind of figure for a person like her is not sustainable, long term. Not a slight, just the truth. Pics like that of me, I refer to my skinny pics. Definitely below what would be my own normal weight.

Here's another one...
I know it's hard for some people to maintain a healthy weight and it's a constant struggle... but giving up is not an option. Especially for a person who's in the public eye, like Michelle...

While I think that is an unfortunate wardrobe choice, I don't think in that second picture it looks like any 95 lbs. Besides which she is clearly a person whose weight has fluctuated, like many of us, and I don't think a comparison when she was having more success to one when she is not, is really fair. There could be a ton of reasons, not serious, why she is having a harder time now than at other times. And, i am not keen on criticizing her over it.

She was just on TV for 45 minutes giving a convention speech 3 weeks ago and she gained all that weight that fast ? This is what @Arkady was talking about. You guys just want to be duped, don't you ?If this is indeed true, can anyone come up with an explanation? WHY would Michelle, the champion of good nutrition and the leader of the "let's move!!!" campaign allow herself to blow up like a balloon?

The secret service "code name" for Michelle Obama is "sweet potato", just so you know.

Hehe. Here she is at the convention:
How many women in their 50s would KILL to have arms without an ounce of wobble? even a lot of trim women twenty years younger than her aren't that toned. But, I'm sure, she put on 95 pounds in three weeks for no apparent reason.
For what it's worth, here she is ten hours ago, trim as ever:

No bullet is too small or slow moving for you, is it?
If I posted anything like Barbella's, you'd jump down my throat for being sexist, and rightly so.
The irony.

You are lying.

Yes, because I presume you are a man. And, making fun of a woman's appearance when you are man, is sexist. And, also because while I don't actually care if people are sexist or not I enjoy pointing out the hypocrisy when lefty is.

LOl. Body Shaming.. Ha another recent lefty buzzword.
Yeah.. Um. I don't really care about "body shaming". While in general, I find it in poor taste to comment on a person's appearance outside of a compliment, I certainly think this whining about body shaming is ridiculous.
Women are catty. We cut each other down based on our looks.
But, I commented on whether or not it was "sexist" nothing to do with "body shaming".

No input from the lefties who were cracking "tranny" jokes yesterday. Shamed into silence I suppose...
So you think women shouldn't be held to account for body shaming each other because women are 'catty'?
I hate to say it, but that seems quite sexist to me.

What can I say -- I enjoy pointing out the idiocy of the thick-witted. Everyone needs a hobby, right?

Is that what you think you're doing? LOL
Well if it came from National Enquirer it HAS to be true...as long as it's about Michelle. Like Arkady said....she was in fine shape during the convention. Smart enough that Melania Trump used her words to plagiarize. Why do you hate Michelle Obama?If this is indeed true, can anyone come up with an explanation? WHY would Michelle, the champion of good nutrition and the leader of the "let's move!!!" campaign allow herself to blow up like a balloon?

First off, "body shaming" is just another thing lefty has come up to whine about. If you are fat or ugly, or god forbid, both, people will say nasty things about you. That is a fact of life. If you show too much skin, or are too skinny, people will say nasty things about you. That is also a fact of life. It falls into my category of get the hell over it and grow some thicker skin. Because I have no tolerance for people who allow haters to live in their heads rent free. The only way you can be "shamed" by that is if YOU think that there is something wrong with you. And, if you do - but don't do what you can to fix it, then quit yer bitchin...
No one should be "held to account" for expressing an opinion about someone's appearance. That is just silly - coddle the special snowflake, pC bullcrap. People have opinions on others - they are free to express them, even mean ones.
Since I personally, think that is impolite to do so, I try not to engage in it. But, its not my business what other people do. I only control my behavior and attempt to pass on the concept of being kind about people's appearances, to my children.
However YOU made the comment that I would call you to task for it, and maybe i would. Because I do think it is sexist when a man makes fun of a woman's looks, because it is an expression of his misogyny. But, by all means - make fun of another guy's looks. There is nothing inherently sexist about women making fun of women and men making fun of men.
And, quite frankly *I* don't even care if a guy is sexist or not. Or if he is a misogynist jerk, or not.
BUT - I do enjoy pointing out the hypocrisy when a lefty - IS sexist, because they are always whining about sexism or whatever "ism" has their panties in a bunch that day.
