Sounds like a lot of reviewers just want to make negative comments (behind their computer monitors, of course) about fat people in general. But they're missing the point of this show.
Whitney is a very likable person and her story is that of a lot of Americans. She likes food. She eats food. She eats too much food, and she's overweight. Whether the weight came on because of her diagnosis or whether it was self-induced is no matter. What the show is putting out there is that fat people are like the rest of us. They laugh; they cry; they live life in the best way they can.
I like that Whitney puts herself out there, warts and all. Sometimes she does make excuses for her weight. Sometimes she does eat the absolute wrong foods. But that's the way it is with people of size. They are struggling with what they are and what they want to be. At least Whitney keeps on dancing.
Whitney started the NO BS (No Body Shaming) movement and it's a great start. We should try to be as healthy as we can, but we shouldn't criticize or shame those who don't look the way we want them to. Size doesn't always equate to health. I have a relative who's still kicking at 85 and at least 300 lbs. while her 180-pound sister died a couple years ago and her 130-pound sister died decades ago because of health reasons. So just because a person looks unhealthy does not necessarily mean he or she is unhealthy.
Overall, it's an entertaining show and that's why it's on TV.
