I watched this last night. How sad. It was awful seeing the 13 yr old daughter too. She was so honest, but what a very sad life those two girls have had.
The thing I struggle to understand is that how when someone is bedridden for 4 years at over 45 stone is how she can put another 20 stone one when others are obviously feeding her.
I know if it was someone I loved dearly, as her family obviously did, I couldn't keep feeding them enough to put another 20 stone on her. 20 stone in 4 years is an awful lot of weight when you can't get into the kitchen to help yourself to food.
don't get me wrong, I know how easy it is to put weight on, I need to lose another 130 pounds, so I'm a 'big girl' myself, but where were the GP's etc to help her even when she was refused surgery for 12 years?
It was all so very sad.

I think as soon as someone reaches the point of being bedbound, there is a certain amount of enabling going on.
Although there was a story about a man who ordered fast food from his bed and lowered the money in a bucket out of the window.
The fact Renee Williams was 29, and in surprisingly good health makes the outcome even sadder.

I agree, very sad to watch.
If her family loved her they should have not made her anything unhealthy and let her get herself out of bed to get it.
easily said than done I know.
At a massive amount of weight myself (23stone) I sooo feel for her, but she was still walking at 40 stone, in good health (if there is such a thing) fora 60 odd stone that she got too.
I couldn't help it.. but I kept saying to myself, "oh, I hope they show her after it's worked and when she's lost some weight" (I love a happy ending)
I really didn't expect her to die. so sad!
Poor kids!
