    I'm not watching Oprah.

    But having been a fat kid, I can think of more than a few reasons.

    I was just crying. It was therapy. They had to say what they Hate. example: I hate being over weight, I hate that my mom blames herself for me being over weight, etc...

    OMG I was just watching this episode and I was crying the entire time. I haven't struggled with weight, but I could feel those children hurting, it was emotional.

    I caught on eventually.  That's funny cause as a teenager I hated that my mom DIDN'T blame herself for being overweight.

    I used to think my mom didn't. But eventually I realized that was why she was such a harpy, because she thought it was her fault.

    Of course, the stapling actually was her fault, and it was the only thing that ever got her to shut up about my size. They may have screwed up my digestive system, but there have been benefits.

    Wow! I didn't even know they would let someone get that at that age. Crazy!

     

    ...then again you can get boobs at 17.  Moms are nuts.

    Mine really did have good intentions. I just wish parents would realize the damage they do to their children in attempting to make some thing better, instead of saying "I love you, whether you are a size 2 or a 28, and I won't love you any more or less no matter how much you gain or lose." I think that would probably go a heII of a lot further toward reducing childhood obesity than taking the snack machines out of school cafeterias.
