so I had an opportunity to screen this film at a support group and meet one of the women.....as it was filmed in Austin....personally I didn't find it to be helpful from a WLS perspective....it felt to be more about the BBW subculture than about a group of women struggling with weight and the decision for WLS. I was actually disappointed on the focus and felt very sad for most of the women that were featured - maybe because I could not relate - because so much of their identity was tied to the BBW community - for which I never really knew anything about until this film....it felt exploitive to me. Curious what others thought

I totally agree.

Just watched and it was well worth it. It brought home that we got large for various reasons and motivation to loose weight is different in all of us. If you throw us all into a room, we have similarities, but we are not the same. I thought this was a good film on the psychology of weight, without being about it.
