Q

I was thinking that same thing, how is she problematic?

You are 💯 percent right!

She may not have asked to be in the spotlight, but she's absolutely making the decisions to stay on social media to make people aware of her goings on. Including the family habit of e-begging.

She has the choice today to stop going on social media.

Right. And it’s sad that people are saying that “she has a choice to stay on social media”. Regular normal teenage girls and adults have social media. Why can’t she?

@@thatvalensteingirlexactly

Frr

It can be considered obsessed if she... Well goes nuts with it in a way that goes too fast, gotta know how to acclimate and all. But I don't think she is that level yet.

@@firepuppies4086if she’s going to gym and eating healthy it won’t go too fast

@@discodeaky8225 fully agreed. I don't think she's actually taking ludicrous amounts of quick weight loss stuff so she should be ok

Nobody actually knows what she is or isn’t “obsessed” with, so you can’t claim that, and neither can anyone else.

That's heartbreaking.

Groomed to stay fat 🤣🤣 wtf y’all will say anything on the internet

@@Sarah-yj6ylwhere is the lie tho

@@OMGawkwardTURTLE don’t reply anymore. You can already sense where their heading to. All this person saw was the word FAT… not even reading the context. You can’t win with these people 🤷🏻‍♀️😭. Thanks for the backup 💯💯

Me too

I’m glad you said that, that’s exactly how I was feeling,,,,,

@@user-ee1et2pm1z Yeah, after watching the episode that pretty much outed what was really going on behind the scenes. It’s truly amazing that Alana and her sisters are doing as well as they are now.

And has shown it all on the 'net. She looks great but people will not leave those alone who broadcast for all to see. 🙄 They even say so in this video. Anywhoo, GO HONEY BOO BOO! 💖

Fr.. I thought when they started talking about her losing weight it would be like "She's promoting starving yourself and laxatives and fasting and over exercising!" Nope she's just sharing her regular, healthy weight loss journey.. i dont get why people care so much

she been through enough twinkies.. but it's her choice.. I ain't paying for her meals

Amen

​@DianaRodriguez-jp8dx I hope someone politely corrects your additude in the night.

Welcome to fame sadly. Damned if you do and damned if you don't in the court of public opinion

Right! Stupid! If she wants the surgery let her try it. It’s only going to improve her health anyway, gawd forbid.

That's human nature for ya'...we suck as a species.

Stressing her out

This is why you ignore the general populous and think of them as nagging NPC'S from the Sims

Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 she’s still young and needed that weight off. I’m so happy for her, weight loss at any age isn’t easy and on top of that she’s had a crazy childhood. She’s taking accountability and doing her thang now. Very happy for her!!

I was wondering what's so negative about what she's doing. She's healthily doing things to get to her goal. Good for her

Would you still think that way if she was starving herself?

@@TaterTot_6717 But she's not so if she did then it's dangerous. She's not so good for her

Okay but if you’ve been struggling your whole life to lose weight then how can you have a successful weight lose surgery you need to lose weight before the surgery to prove you are going to keep losing weight after the surgery all that surgery does is cut your stomach in half and if you can’t tell lots of people who don’t have motivation gain the weight back so it’s not a smart decision

this is not how metabolism works.

​​@@nunya5057then enlighten us on how metabolism works ❤

@@nunya5057yet all gym bros think this shit

​@@nunya5057metabolism no, she probably meant fat cells. Obese children grow more fat cells overall, whereas adults who become overweight just have their fat cells get bigger. Thus it's easier for adults who were healthy as kids to lose weight than adults who weren't.

Didn't alter the metabolism, but it sure did a lot of damage as far as eating habits. A lot of the food we have access to has sugar and sugar can be extremely addictive, imagine your parent never giving you a chance to eat healthy. And losing weight when you've been overweight your entire life must be really hard because that means you never learned how to eat appropriately.

Have you seen pumpkins lives? She is NOT even close to being a good person 😬

It's about the fame and money. There's no way they'd be able to live the way they do on their own without the show and the meet & greets, etc. I truly hope that Josh & Pumpkin are smart enough to have set something up for their future. If not, I am seriously concerned for their future. You cannot have 4 children and not work. That's just not how life works. Especially for a couple as young as they are. I pray it all works out for them in the end, but imagine their lives 10 years down the road when Alana is in her late 20s and they no longer have a TV show to pay the bills. Yes, she is 100% right to be pushing Alana with the college apps; but her and Josh need to be setting up their future as well. I mean damn, isn't she only 22 or 23 yrs old?! They're not going to be able to keep up this lifestyle, or even make ends meet with Josh's "freelance side jobs" he says he's doing.

Agreed

I agree. I would be so proud to call those girls mine. Pumpkin and Josh have both stepped up and have been wonderful parents to Alana

She is turning into trash just like the rest of them. Watch their tik toks. Calling her own fans all sorts of names then asking them for money lol

@BabblingwithBOBBLES ❤

Humans are s i ck. And a lot of the times need to be blocked the f u ck out or get their bricks knocked out. This is so ab u sive to this woman who’s just working out.. If it was concern, fine but it’s not. The amount of control ppl try to exert over others is dis gust ing…

“Turning weight loss obsessed” But if she’s not actively trying she’s “fat and unhealthy” but if she’s kind of trying , and doesn’t lose enough weight she’s “not trying hard enough” if she kind of tries and loses a lot of weight “fans are skeptical about how she’s really losing weight” It never ends….

PREACH

Yep so true ❤

Pumpkin did a total 180 and took alania under her wing

Congrats

congratulations luv!!!

So proud of you!

I’m proud of you!!❤️

Wait you lost 200 lbs? Over half your body weight? idk if that is healthy!

😊😊😊Agreed

Same❤

Same

​@MissX33 so the rest of the comment is right !

THAT!!👏👏

ALL the time. It’s insane.

Right. Leave the girl alone and let her find her way. Too many so called “fans” telling her what she should do, how she should live under the disguise that they’re just trying to help her. The girl has been through enough with June. People need to mind their own business. She’ll be fine with her sister’s help. And we can just hope she doesn’t follow the same path as June and June’s mother.

Exactly!!

Yeah don't have kids to make money off of them..

@@gaylenewood7707 I doubt that is how all this started...but they were poor and when tv producers on TLC saw them and the public saw them it was love at first sight.Cannot blame her for taking all she could.What happened later was the problem.Give these shows and the public some of the blame.

this made me chuckle

Yeah you’re right no one is supporting her. I grew up with her she has been in front of the camera since she was a toddler and her mom would give her energy drinks with even more soda and so much sugar to keep her awake and active during pageants. That I know for a fact has affect her healthy a lot. No one that is hating on her know a the upbringing she’s had and the parents she’s had to deal with. She should be receiving support for taking control of her life and trying to better herself for herself.

Mama is not playing with a full deck and jokers up her sleeves

Wasn't she diddled in the past?

FR

@@karenkrey7941Doubtful

Yeah. She's not perfect but as you point out she started from a less than stellar spot

I’ve had the weight-loss surgery and you don’t need to be a certain weight. You need to be a certain weight above what you should be at to get it. So you can’t get it if you’re close to your goal weight. You have to be obese to get it. I speak from experience. I have had the surgery. I didn’t have to lose any weight to get the surgery. There’s only a pre-surgery diet. You have to be on for two weeks but I didn’t lose any weight during that time. They just wanted my stomach empty so that when they did the surgery there wouldn’t be any complications.

​@@jenelle11234i think what OP meant was you have to _lose_ a certain amount of weight before you get the surgery. My mom had it and she had to lose like 20 pounds on her own before they would do the surgery, to show them she was serious about losing the weight.

@@taylorbritt499 but that’s not always the case. I didn’t have to do that.

​@@jenelle11234that's because it depends on the clinic you go to and how much weight you have to lose. For example, I'm just on the edge of qualifying for surgery. If I lost even 10 lbs I would no longer qualify, so they wouldn't make me lose weight beforehand. On the other hand, someone who has a weight goal of over 100+ lbs has a long way to go and it's important they can stick to the bariatric diet long term. Personally, the clinic I go to has everyone do a diet first and only does weight loss surgery for people who still have a large amount of weight to lose after. So yes, most clinics do require patients to lose weight and prove they can follow the diet before surgery because as you already know from experience, it's dangerous if you don't stick to the diet after surgery. Being an exception to that is not the norm.

​@@QwertyuwuuiopIt's not dangerous after. You don't really have a choice about eating after surgery. Your stomach is the size of an egg after. Unless it's gastric sleeve. Then it's only slightly larger. It's later on, like 6 months to a year and later where you can start ro train your stomach to accommodate more food. So, you really have to learn better habits while your the most restricted so you'll stey on track later and not regain.

Dang straight. We’ll said. Many Hollywood kids would be well on their way to drugs. Pumpkin and her fam are a gift from God.

Yep she will see your comment, and it will change the world. Lol

@@lovineveryminuetofit1314so annoying

Hey mary ..sit down, all ypu know ia what ypu see on tv or internet, doesnt make it all true like i said sit nack down, not up to you

Frr

honestly the best thing to do is ignore them its only a very sad few that love being hateful and negative focus on people who put value in life because all the negative people do is devalue anything or anyone that is better then

It’s bizarre that people bash fat people for anything they do or don’t do. People laugh at fat folks working out but when a 100 pound girl gets 2 million subscribers for doing mukbangs, not one comment will shame her about “healthiness.” Alana became famous before she could write her ABCs by a stage mama who did not have the best interests for her or her sisters. If she is trying to break the cycle, then good for her.

AMEN to that🙏🏼🙏🏼

it infuriates me when people get butthurt over an overweight person considering bariatric surgery. they are TRYING to get better and no surgery is NOT an option”easy route”. you have to meet a weight requirement to even be qualified for the surgery and it doesn’t automatically shed fat off of you. in order to lose weight even with a bariatric surgery you STILL have to workout and eat a healthy diet or you will literally just gain it all back.

Exactly! I'm thinking about getting it not for the appearance but for my own mental health. She may have some weight that's just not coming off no matter how hard she tries to get rid of it. We shouldn't ridicule people for trying to help themselves feel better

It’s sad, just because someone might go that route doesn’t make them lazy or unmotivated. My best friend struggled with her weight later found out she had pcos and wouldn’t have kids she had three beautiful children. No matter what she did it was hard to get the weight off and stay off because of her pcos. Years later she managed to find a way that worked for her to get a good bit of weight off and keep it off. She then had weight loss surgery and has never been healthier, she maintains her weight the healthy way and I couldn’t be prouder of her.

Right! If it makes her happy and feel good. What does it matter what route she took. Seems like the surgery was boost that helped her. She is still going to the gym and making healthier eating choices. The surgery probably helped get her started. If she happy then that’s all that matter. She probably feels healthier all together. It’s not always easy for everyone to just lose the weight specially if they have other medical issues that make it hard to lose the weight.

And even if you do, you have a lack of motivation that’s what the surgery is for. It helps you gain your motivation back. I’ve had the surgery so I speak from experience and I was one of the most unmotivated people I know. And I’ve had the surgery six months ago and I’ve lost 100 pounds and I’ve done the bare minimum but I’ve still lost so much weight. Motivation is definitely a good thing but it’s not the biggest issue.😂

@@mango_the_poptart if you do you get the surgery. Just be prepared for the physical toll. It will take on your mental health. Because surgery is much more daunting than it seems. I have had two surgeries, one for weight loss, and one for a life-threatening thing, one after the other, and that was pretty traumatic for me, since I’ve never gone to the hospital since then, for any reason. Also, after weight loss surgery it’s very difficult to feel normal. Like I can’t have a normal meal anymore. And I’m not looking to eat like a giant portion of food but I can only stomach 3 to 4 bites of food even after six months. And it is really depressing, because I’m a foodie and not being able to eat a full meal makes me depressed often. But after six months, seeing the physical appearance changes and having more energy does offset the mental issues. I just wanted to share my opinion because I know a lot of people are very hush-hush about weight loss surgeries, and nobody ever talks about it trying to keep it a secret. At least that’s what it was like for me when I tried to inquire through friends and family about the surgery because I was looking to get it, but nobody wanted to talk about it. Also say goodbye to some of your favorite foods. I am sad most of the time because a lot of my favorite foods don’t taste good anymore. Like sometimes even thinking about some things make me nauseous and it really sucks. Some of it’s not even like bad food, like not fried chicken or something like that it’s like a wrap makes me nauseous and it used to be my favorite all-time food.

People want to be offended by everything now is where it came from. I never cared for her but if someone wants to be more healthy, good for her!

Exactly I’m a black female I love me some honey boo boo❤❤❤❤😊

People nowadays have a victim mentality and want to accuse everyone of being horrible people, unfortunately. I wish the best for Alana

people bringing hateration and holleration to the dancery smh

Probably just social media, like this stupid video.

I wish there wasn’t such a stigma around weight loss surgery for people who actually need it, especially when you can be sitting on a ticking time bomb of severe hormonal dysregulation that just doesn’t show up in most blood tests until you’re already quite ill (like hypothyroidism or PCOS for example.) You really can’t win, there’s this one size fits all mentality of move more and eat less, but by the time you’re actually obese it’s a lot more complicated than that, especially if the root cause of it hasn’t been identified. It’s as if people resent people for “having it easy” for being prone to throwing up if you have more than a couple of spoonfuls of food even when you’re faint and starving due to lack of calories. I’ve never had a gastric band or anything like that myself but I’ve always thought it sounds like it must be extremely hard to adapt to and very risky. It’s a massive commitment as well, financially and health wise. But then when people succeed and become thin, they’re labelled EDd and often actually resented by people who just don’t want anyone to succeed at anything! If people worked on themselves as much as they criticised other people, the world would be a better place! Well done for doing what was right for you 🙏🏼💕

Amen ❤ looks like that's exactly what she is doing. How could some ppl be so hateful and cruel as to tear that down ??

Yes. Best to do it while she's young. Her skin will bounce back faster and better.

I agree..its been life changing for some people

It’s different for everybody. I got a VSG and from the initial consultation I got my surgery 2 months later. But you definitely need to be strict as heck. If you decide not to walk 2 weeks before every day then you could get a blood clot and straight up die. People don’t realize that weight loss surgey isn’t lipo. It’s literally getting part of an organ cut off and having to eat better and exercise.

Youre right but in her case her family ate some junk

Youre right but in her case her family ate some junk

No. Can we stop using this excuse already? Yes, some people are genetically predisposed to be larger or hold onto weight, but not that much. If a short woman weighs over 225lbs (I'd argue 200lbs, but whatever), that's due to poor diet and zero exercise. Genetics and diseases/illnesses can add on weight and make it difficult to lose, but it's not an excuse -- if you're susceptible to weight gain, do something about it. By saying "It's genetics," you're only saying that a person isn't driven to do anything and has zero personal accountability. Obese people know what they can do to improve their situation, but they don't want to make the changes to help themselves, and by saying they can't help it, you're only keeping them stuck.
