"All Of Me"

just found this online...

http://video.pbs.org/video/2365190806/

The “Girls” have been friends — and morbidly obese — for years. They met via the Austin chapter of the National Association to Advance Fat. Now they’re going through the life-changing process of weight-loss surgery. The experience presents a host of issues and consequences — some they knew they were in for, some they feared, and some they never could have imagined.

the women are so real and in their cases those emotions often hidden but so close to the surface...

Such an important story(ies)

People who are obese need understanding not criticism and I think this film will give a lot of realistic information to those who are open minded and compassionate enough to watch.

Great find handmade34.

thanks.
