The Chantel family star Winter Everett has has changed a lot since his weight loss operationas her recent before and after photos show, and she's the series alum who truly deserves a spin-off - yes, even more so than the “villain” Pedro Jimeno. She’s not a classic reality TV “villain,” so she’s very relatable. As Winter recovers from a bariatric operation, she made it clear that recovering from major surgery isn't exactly a leap in the park. Winter has also been very candid about her relationship with her controlling ex, Jah, and her post-split interest in a Nigerian man, Masoma.
Her willingness to share (and her appreciation for her beautiful curves) make her a great role model. No one should feel ashamed of their face and body – this is a trick society plays on people. Winter is focused on optimizing her health and enjoying the natural beauty she is blessed with. Since her weight loss surgery in Tijuana in 2022, Winter has lost 141 pounds. She started her fitness journey at 350 pounds, and these days, she's “easy in her own skin,” as the saying goes.
Winter is proud of her weight loss progress
However, she is honest about the ups and downs
Winter recently shared a before and after photo that truly captured the essence of who she is now — an empowered woman who no longer lives with shaky self-esteem because she compared herself to people who fit society's often unrealistic "beauty ideal." Winter is more confident but not arrogant, so she's an ideal candidate for a spin-off. In her caption, Winter is proud but not arrogant. She seems grateful for the changes she has initiated and hopeful:
Baby, when you first met me @tlc #90dianoivo I weighed over 350 pounds, wasn't sure of my worth, and was barely scratching the surface of the life I was supposed to live. Today, I weigh 141 pounds and am living the life I once dreamed of.
But let's get real: it hasn't been a smooth journey. There were days when I wanted to throw in the towel, times when I felt defeated, and times when I wasn't sure if I could continue. But here I am, stronger than ever, because I refused to give up on myself.
Part of the challenge women face in a superficial, image-centric society is being able to recognize the beauty in themselves. Maybe they don't really understand that they are beautiful - mean comments or the harsh judgments they direct at themselves can blind them to the truth. As a woman begins to see her own beauty, she becomes more confident and There is beauty in every person on this earth. It's not about vanity, it's about understanding that EVERYONE is beautiful, INCLUDING yourself.
Watching Winter evolve has been incredible, so why not give her a spin-off of her own? On screen, as the star of the show, she was able to share more details about her journey, from losing weight to increasing self-acceptance to finding a new partner. Instead of being the sidekick who lived in her model sister's shadow, the much thinner Winter could really shine.
While Chantel seems like a logical choice for a spin-off, or bad boy Pedro, whose antics really got noticed, Winter is actually the better choice. Chantel and Pedro will always have that hint of bitterness - their breakup will constantly cloud their minds, bringing dark energy into the mix. Although Winter lived with a broken heart, she does not appear to have been poisoned by it. The fact that she seems to have so much gratitude means that a spin-off starring her will lift people up rather than tear them down.
Winter glows in soft autumn tones
She is a great role model at any weight
Above, Winter It looks beautiful in colors that really complement your brunette coloring. The soft autumnal tones she wears are perfect for her. In those chic leotards, she's a vision. What's really great about this fashion show is how happy she looks. There is no insecurity on the outside and, for her, this is a victory.
Winter has always been there for others and now it's time for her to reach her own potential. She will never stop worrying about her loved ones, but she also needs her own life. She launched an athletic brand, CY, and also appears to be making progress in her love life. In the past, she let Jah, who follows the Nazarene faith, walk all over her. Eventually, she found the courage to separate. Lately, according to the fan account's post @therealitytvmessshe showed off a diamond ring on “that” finger.
Winter is worthy of a spin-off
She's not a villain like Pedro
Pedro is progressing in life, but he still has that “villain” vibe and may not be as good a candidate for a spin-off as Winter. Since Pedro may have used Chantel for a spin-off, it's possible he's not a great role model. Chantel seems to have moved on, but it seemed like Pedro didn't care much about her pain. She had to deal with it alone.
Winter's personal growth is inspiring – she is becoming stronger, more positive and more impressive. As she models, showcasing plus size fashions that are so inclusive, there is more to her than externals. She is a deep and sentimental woman who makes other people's lives better by sharing so honestly. Many people struggle with body image issues – they feel undermined by self-esteem issues. Winter is showing the world that there is another way... for people to love who they are.
If they want to make changes, that's fine, but those changes are not mandatory.
The Chantel familyWinter is the ideal candidate for a spin-off, and hopefully she won't be forgotten in favor of Chantel or Pedro, or even her protective mother, Karent Everett, and Karen's loving husband, Thomas Everett. If anyone from the show gets her own series, it should be the brave woman who overcame body image issues, a troubled relationship, and endless comparisons to her sister. Winter is looming as she prioritizes fitness and wellness, and her hopeful spirit is set to show on screen.
