The Learning Channel will be showing My Shocking Story: Too Young To Be Fat on Wednesday, January 23 at 8 PM (and replaying it at 11 PM).A summary from their website reads:
"16-year-old Dexter Washington weighs 340lbs. He attends the Academy of the Sierras, probably the only year-round boarding high school for morbidly obese kids in the world. We film Dexter's emotional change as he confronts why he has eaten excessively."
I'm very interested in learning more about this high school, as well as seeing what angle this documentary pursues.
Write yourself a reminder note, tune in, and stop by on January 24 for my review.

in the same show there was also the story of a young 13 years old girl weighting 231 lbs and waiting for a liposuction. In the story the girl who had difficulties stabilizing her iron in her blood was on vacation with her mother and cousin in a casino and were left alone (with the filming crew i guess)while the mom was gambling and she went for lunch. She eat fried chicken with fried fish and a lot of dessert. I found it discusting that the crew left the girl eat that shit and they knew she had a morbid weight problem..Just for the show i guess.
