Fat-shaming: Actor Wentworth Miller "a battle between eating or suicide"

[marylander1940]

The 43-year-old Prison Break star took to Facebook on Monday, revealing that he was once suicidal and addressing a meme highlighting his past weight gain.

 

"Today I found myself the subject of an Internet meme. Not for the first time. This one, however, stands out from the rest," he wrote in the lengthy post. "In 2010, semi-retired from acting, I was keeping a low-profile for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I was suicidal."

 

"I was looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction. And I turned to food," the actor wrote. "It could have been anything. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. But eating became the one thing I could look forward to. Count on to get me through."

Wow. That's a change. I would never guess they're the same guys.

 

Going to food is comfort for allot of people suffering depression. It releases brain chemicals like Dopamine. They're basically medicating themselves with food.

Its probably all the more difficult when you go from a sexy Hearthrob, living your live in front of a camera and in the public eye, to a regular out of shape Joe. Your struggle with self esteem is heightened, and everyone is watching your descent. Aging is a normal, natural process, and none of us look the same as we did even 10 years ago. There are very few of us that can look perpetually good without hard work on your body, proper diet and discipline. But Hollywood doesn't allow that, although men seem to have a easier time with aging than the women do. So I really feel bad for the guy...and his struggles..

At least now he's back on the spotlight. I hope he's filming again soon but it might be difficult to disassociate himself from his former TV image. Only 1% of actors make a living from that profession, I hope he saved his money and collect the royalties.

 

"...men seem to have a easier time with aging than the women do", no doubt at 43 a woman is way to old for many characters.

Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Marjama informed the team that he is retiring from baseball to take a position with the National Eating Disorders Association.

 

Marjama, 28, was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on April 20 after making the team's Opening Day roster. He appeared in 10 games this season, batting .111 with three doubles, two walks and six strikeouts.

 

Marjama told the Sacramento Bee last year that he battled an eating disorder when he competed as a wrestler at Granite Bay High School in northern California. He said he cut weight for wrestling and then kept dropping pounds, plummeting to as low as 130 pounds.

 

He required inpatient treatment, recovered and has been outspoken about the disorder since.

 

"When I had the eating disorder, I was stubborn. Now my eyes are open," Marjama, who is now 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, told the Bee. "A lot of high school students have a tremendous amount of pressure on them. We all want to see things out of reality, and we don't always see things fully clear. It was a hard time, what I went through, but it changed my perspective on life. It definitely helped me grow."

You need to get rimmed by someone with a beard... you'll love it!

Wentworth Miller

Wow. That's a change.

 

He was on SVU last night and had gray/brown hair cut very short and it looked awful.

 

Its probably all the more difficult when you go from a sexy Hearthrob... to a regular out of shape Joe.

It sure has been for me. ?

Other brain chemicals that help people feel better are endorphins, which are released with exercise. He should come live with me and hike up and down Runyon Canyon a few times a day. He'll feel better and look better! I hope he's not doing pot, because that will really make the weight balloon up. A couple days ago, I saw a man who hiked up the canyon with 50 pounds on his shoulders. I marveled at him on the way down, then saw him starting to come down when I was reaching near the top. I hope he gets his act together and find help somewhere else than food. Such a waste to give up his good looks... ?

What's "awful" about the above pics?

It's lost on me the point of dumping on people over mere appearance anyway.

Does it say more about the dumpee?
