Necessary Mutilation

I am obsessed with watching “fat shows” on TV.  “I Was a 700-Pound Woman!” “The 547-Pound Man” “Fat Grandma” “Too Big Too Bad” “Fatty Fatty Two-by-Four” - the “worse”, the better.  Many have gastric bypass surgery - but what’s always lacking in such shows, and even in blogs, is the meat and potatoes (no pun intended).  I want journey.  I want detail.  I want process.  I don’t want to just see someone go from blubber to size 2 due to the miracle of surgery (or whatever); I want to know the heart and soul and steps and stages and angst and thought processes … like (I hope) I’m writing here!
