Last night's screening of "Too Fat Too Young" on Channel 4 was intriguing for most people struggling with weight issues. Here we have Gok Wan, built like a fag paper, on a mission to make us all look good naked, revealing he has a skeleton in his closet (skeleton maybe isn't the best word to use when you're talking about a 21 stone teenager). My whole blog revolves around losing weight in a healthy way - converting to sensible eating - and here we find out that his excess baggage was lost in a mere 8 months. I was so disappointed. Gok Wan's a great personality with a fantastic ethos of encouraging people to be confident in their own skin and yet the program left me feeling a bit empty. The interviews with the teenagers and then with Dawn French left me feeling the producers had no clear objective. Perhaps it was just spin.
