I watched the programme in two minds, feeling sad for these people and their negative opinions of themselves and wondering why they were being encouraged to accept their obesity.
By the end and upon learning that some had gone on to lose weight, I began to wonder whether increasing their confidence was actually a more positive way of approaching their weight problems. In other words they began to believe in themselves and their abilities and could start to deal with their own problems. I wish them luck and hope that they live happier healthier lives as a result of their experience.
