    It's A Trail Of Tears For Some Kids At Fat Camp


    Last year, MTV aired what's possibly one of my favorite documentaries of all time, Fat Camp — a two-hour glimpse into the lives of adolescent campers trying to lose weight at a facility in the Poconos. The greatly anticipated (or at least by me) Return to Fat Camp aired this weekend, following a whole new set of campers — with some familiar faces here and there — as they started new fitness routines and diets. My favorite of all the kids was 14-year-old Logan, who is sort of like a mix of Beth Ditto and Courtney Love and a bottle of Xanax. She's not as lovable as some of the other campers, but her laziness and lack of enthusiasm for outdoor sports is something that I can relate to all too well.

    This is Dianne, my favorite camper from the first installment of Fat Camp. You can read more about her here. I was glad she made a few cameos in Return to Fat Camp, but honestly, I was hungry for more.
