Movies/series with fat women

There is a series called 'Huge'

It's about a fat girl who goes to fat camp and doesn't want to be there.

I really enjoyed it as the characters actually have real personalities and story lines, rather than just being the stereotypical 'funny' fat friend.

What is 'health' anyway....?

Whenever this subject comes up, these two studies come to mind.

'Fat people who lost large amounts of weight might look like someone who was never fat, but they were very different. In fact, by every metabolic measurement, they seemed like people who were starving.'

'Every one had physical and psychological signs of starvation. There were a very few who did not get fat again, but they made staying thin their life's work, becoming Weight Watchers lecturers, for example, and, always, counting calories and maintaining themselves in a permanent state of starvation.'

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment

'Confirmation that prolonged semi-starvation produces significant increases in depression, hysteria and hypochondriasis as measured using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Indeed, most of the subjects experienced periods of severe emotional distress and depression. There were extreme reactions to the psychological effects during the experiment including self-mutilation. Participants exhibited a preoccupation with food, both during the starvation period and the rehabilitation phase. Sexual interest was drastically reduced, and the volunteers showed signs of social withdrawal and isolation. The participants reported a decline in concentration, comprehension and judgment capabilities, although the standardized tests administered showed no actual signs of diminished capacity.'
