With the writers' strike in Hollywood, there's significantly LESS to watch on tv, so I found myself watching TLC's "My Shocking Story: Too young to be so fat" about obese teens. I wanted to cry for these kids!!
I wasn't a fat kid, we were always out running and riding bikes and playing - i didn't get a bit "thick" til high school, and then got fat when I lived by myself - without Mom's awesome healthy cooking, and Mom's policy of no junk food in the house LOL. This poor 13 year old girl weighed 320 pounds, was squished into too small clothing, and her mother didn't seem to be around very much (she had a night job so she couldn't help that...) and the girl had this ridiculous idea that liposuction was going to suck out all of her fat and she was going to be as hot as girls in magazines. so unrealistic, but a doctor was going to do the surgery - but her iron levels were too low and it couldn't happen. The other part of the story was a camp where the teens could go to learn healthy habits of eating & exercise.
Did anyone else watch? What did you think? I wonder what's going to happen to that girl
