Megyn Kelly Opens Up About Her Personal Experience With Body Shaming | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@stephaniequintini49]

VERY well said in the intro. I have struggled with both sides of the spectrum, and I’m so happy with how you articulated it.

[@ellentorres6314]

Thank you for your comments...my Mom taught me to self medicate with food...it's been a lifelong struggle...in my 60's now and wish my life had been different with food!!!

[@delindaduggan4020]

Thumbs up for Megyn Kelly. A very caring and compassionate. This hit close to home

[@zzzcozumel]

60% approaching obesity if not already obese. There is a systemic problem. The basic food groups apparently are carbohydrates, fat and sugar for too many people. People are commuting in cars between their job and their home. In between are the fast food joints with too many empty calories (non-nutritional).

[@jannettestetson-buck5103]

Michael Murphy, not all people with weight problems eat poorly. Most eat larger portions then they should/need. And also most eat more often than needed for the expense of energy they use in a day (calories).

[@BellaBaileyVito]

There are a lot of contributing factors to being overweight. Anxiety, stress, depression, convenience. We are all so busy, some don't have time to eat or if they do, it's for one or two meals. Some people use drugs others over eat! Couple those things with how our society has bad foods so much cheaper and more easily accessible to us, of course it's systemic! The US is #8 in the world of having the largest obese population. I'm glad we now see calorie counts in menus across most food establishments, but healthy organic food is still more expensive and we still eat processed foods because it's cheaper and convenient. Welcome to the land of consumerism lol

[@pedaldownpetalsup]

Boy Meghan I am glad you left FOX you have done a fabulous job on this show!

[@reinilla]

I love Megyn Kelly she is nice I love her show

[@stevocanuck]

she's an intelligent, respectful person.

[@MyLink44]

Reina Cedeno me too! It makes me sad that she was so afraid ( others too) Cheers!

[@easilyamused2009]

Oh wow! She does have a conscience. Liking her more and more with each video I watch.

[@annechildress2721]

me to. Read her book too.

[@ahlamsoliman52]

Love you kelly

[@jannettestetson-buck5103]

Brave conversation Megyn Kelly, I'm proud of this and you for speaking out and up for any/all-weight people

[@Sarie2727]

Well done!

[@adr5389]

shes a delight, it was really a shame they shut down her show pretty much overnight

[@swami0095]

Nice

[@marialombardi8316]

Great job Kelly!

[@lorrainehelt976]

Megan I’m so glad you are not on fox anymore. You n your show is beautifull. Keep on going Megan. You have a very sweet n loving way about yourself. Don’t change. We would miss you. I too love you.

[@Thekarlagalan]

I’ve been chubby before, Until I realized that I was unhealthy and unhappy so I started going to the gym and eating better and now I love my body and I still have to so much work to do but weight lifting has changed my body so much, I love it. Before that I had many excuses not to go get my body in shape, no to eat right, not to go to the gym until I decided I wasn’t gonna put more excuses and JUST DO IT!

[@carmenwilley8858]

I miss her show. She had some good guests and needed conversations. It was a good platform for women who were harassed or abused, and other issues of the day, but don't think she had a chance. The president was against her, number 1, and then the bullying started online. Then the network got nervous. Sure, she could be abrupt, with some issues and misunderstood, but mostly was becoming a quality show.

[@DaniellesMicoMarley]

what exactly happened?

[@86thislove]

Maybe not shaming but just don't encourage a poor diet.

[@julievanderleest]

I have not been one that had weight issues, however I was terribly bullied and struggled with body image because of the rare syndrome I was born with. I have always looked and sounded a little different and as a result I was a target of bullies, who to this day I know by name. Though it happened several years ago in school, the words they said and the mocking they did, stuck with me for the rest of my life. Bullying is definitely a problem and it causes a lot of damage. Sometimes the damage is fatal.

[@lanashewmaker3114]

Megan Kelly is an incredible host and interviewer!

[@Thekarlagalan]

And now that I’m fit I actually have to eat more but smaller portions... not stop eating or be in such a strict diet. Is really all about a balance.

[@knockknockbusted]

I prefer the Megyn on Fox News. Her show was must-see TV.

[@Thekarlagalan]

Why do people hate ? Yes that’s right what’s your excuse ? Stop putting excuses and just do it.

[@karamargot]

yes megyn :)

[@rosemaryramos6726]

I struggle with my weight

[@CrystalTwinStar]

🙏💝🙏

[@kudzaicleopatrakandiero4776]

i miss this show

[@romicacolegu8677]

Dar fiecare va zice tot felul de lucruri dar trebuie să înțelegi că am catalogul foarte mare pentru protejarea copilului și a familiei

[@romicacolegu8677]

cu cât arătăm protecție pentru copii cu atâta copiii are încredere în noi știu că fiecare o să stii că tot felul de lucruri dar educație pentru copii este foarte important

[@sarahjanechandler]

8:52 when the guy cuts off the woman’s point to make a comment with not much thought

[@DanielHernandez-yk3dr]

Oh,Oh, there is a problem. The transcription doesnt match to the voices.

[@romicacolegu8677]

cu cât ai mai multe educație pentru copii și cu câte explici la copiii cu atâta te protejează când o să fie mare știu că fiecare va critica Ter este liber că trebuie să înțeleagă că și copiii trebuie să aibă o protecție

[@302indian]

I remember when tattoos used to be a class marker.

[@JacobMutumbo]

Wassup Choppaville get on their bioplasmic wigs for me thank yu-x

[@ledwardsmd]

This is kind of odd for a talk show - feels like she is preaching to the audience. A 9 minute monologue; but I'm sure she has good intentions with her message.

[@MySardarji]

It was good though.

[@basileusmegas7667]

nil admirari - maybe they eat to much due to lack and deficiet of selfesteem... overweighted people are not agressive... only slightly minded people judge on the outside...

[@LTTang]

Meghan. I’m glad to see you on Tucker Carlson the other night. Back to your roots. The real you is what we’re interested in like you’re presenting with this show. Society needs some level of shame. The phrase ‘shame on you’ used to have powers to keep one on the right path. We have no shame these days. And our society has become a heartless uncaring place.

[@richard-en2dx]

My body "' 😘🌹🍸

[@romicacolegu8677]

educația trebuie să fie pe gratis știu că fiecare va Critical cu cât faci pe bani cu atâta ai de pierdut din economie fiecare este liber să gândească acest lucru Sunt alții care la jumătatea tribului se oprește Sunt alții care nici nu au început sau o început să abandoneze tot

[@PerrincinaSprecaci]

Fast forward 4 years, now we have Lizzo ordering us to believe her fat rolls are beautiful and that she is healthy. Some good old fashioned shame is something that we could use today.

[@julieb7785]

Saccharine, emotional non-news. MK is a millionaire hawker of junk ideals, ideas, merchandise....

[@davegaught7590]

Whatever get over it. Nobody on this earth is responsible for anyone else's feelings.

[@enzadelia5496]

WHEN U GET IT EVERYDAY YOU'LL SING A DIFFERENT TUNE

[@NatureLoverReturns]

I think Megyn looks anorexic lately. She looked healthy in this video.

[@apml1992]

Has she always had a crooked nose? Not body shaming though, just first time noticing it

[@dogbitr5833]

Does having a homosexual talk about this make it any more credible

[@kelseyl288]

Is that what you took away from this?

[@jannettestetson-buck5103]

Your question is impertinent.
