My, the different body shapes we've seen. It's amazing how people could carry the same amt of weight & look so drastically different.
On the topic of Laura being another victim of childhood sexual abuse, I too wonder how some people could have the most horrific childhoods yet go on to lead happy productive lives while others just crumble. It seems a lot of the show particpants lack resiliency or just a fighting spirit. I have to wonder about Laura's sisters as they were quite heavy too; were they also abused? Also, not to pick on a small child, but the younger 'baby' was pretty chunky too.
What drove me crazy was that many of the scenes with Laura interacting w/the babies involved her giving them treats like ice cream, cookies, etc...
