Dear Diary,

I saw a commercial for a new Lifetime movie that I want to watch. It is called
To Be Fat Like Me and will be on January 8, 2007. I'm hoping that I remember to tell asrai about the movie so she can watch it too if she's able to. This has been something she and I have discussed, and to be honest it is a topic that people don't think about until they are in the situation.

Here is a summary of the movie.

Everyone knows high school can be tough — but when you're an overweight teen, it can be the longest few years of your life. Fortunately for Aly, a popular and athletic junior, she's never had that problem. But the teen gets a taste of the flip side when she dons a fat suit and goes undercover at a rival high school. You'll be shocked by what her hidden camera reveals in this movie based on a true story. Starring Kaley Cuoco and Caroline Rhea.

Here is another summary of the movie.

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.
