To Be Fat Like Me

All December long I've caught promos to what looks to be an interesting show, To Be Fat Like Me. Here's the summary:

Pretty, popular, athletic 17-year-old Aly is on the fast track to college when an accident blows out her knee and any chance for an athletic scholarship. A documentary contest, and her mother's constant struggle with weight, gives her the idea to go undercover at high school wearing a "fat suit" and hidden camera to prove that personality can outshine physical difference. Aly has always been slim and confident, so she is totally unprepared for the reality of how the world treats a "fat" girl, and she begins to understand how intolerant she has been of her own mother's experience. Starring Kaley Cuoco and Caroline Rhea.

It's showing on Lifetime Monday 9PM EST. I've been having my own thoughts about weight and how people treat you based on what size you are. After it airs, I'll post a brief review. If you happen to see it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the show or that issue in general.
