To Be Fat Like Me

Did anyone see To Be Fat Like Me on Lifetime last night? I didn't go to sleep until midnight, watching this movie and being emotional afterwards. It was sooooo good.

It was really good it hit on some obvious points and some that are not so obvious. The "real" fat girl was good. I don't know her name but I have seen her before.

How did the show make you feel? Was it inspiring or a bummer? I need inspiration right now! I think I have a touch of the post-holiday blues.

I started to watch it, but I thought it might put me in a bad mood. I might try to catch it when LTM plays it another million times.

I thought it was good. It didn't make me emotional. It just was good to see some of the issues see the light of day. I thought it was interesting how they dealt with the anger from the daughter over her Mother's weight issues. I think that happens more than we realize. Since most of us are the offenders it was good to see how our weight and health issues can effect our families.

Barbara you are so right and the reaction of the family is ligitimate.

I'm pretty lucky with the family. They are fat too, so they don't bug me. My aunt, who is thin and has very thin daughters, has discovered my inner angel and has decided to overlook the fat. She can be very vicious, but she isn't my mother so she can't terrorize me. Mother wouldn't allow it. I just wish she'd lighten up on her own daughters who are rail thin.
