It was actually filmed about 3 maybe even 4 years ago. I know for a fact that being fat and proud is fine in your 20's and 30's even early 40's but as we head into middle age, or even younger for some of us being very overweight just takes its toll on the body.
I know plenty of big ladies myself included who were proud to be big and getting on with our lives doing everything our thinner sisters could do and more but as I hit my late 30's I realised I either went done the WLS route or I will be housebound or even dead by my 50's!!!
I am all for living your life the way you want to... Unfortunately our bodies just can't handle too much excess weight, in fact too much excess anything lol
