Overweight teens are represented as Lifetime Television airs the "To Be Fat Like Me" TV movie starring Kaley Cuoco in a fat suit.

Lifetime Television takes overweight teens and puts them on TV movies. Kaley Cuoco stars in “To Be Fat Like Me” wearing a fat suit.

The original movie, To Be Fat Like Me, premiers on Lifetime TV this Monday January 8, 2007. 17-year-old Aly decides to don a fat suit and experience life as a “fat” person.

The film stars Kaley Cuoco of 8 Simple Rules and Caroline Rhea of The Biggest Loser. Inspired by a real story, the outline looks very interesting.

The “real” girl who inspired the story is Ali Schmidt. She went undercover in a fat suit for an ABC documentary of obesity.

It airs on Monday January 8, 2007 at 9pm et/pt.

I won’t be able to watch it but I’d love to hear some feedback on it. State your opinion on the discussion boards.
