To Be Fat Like Me


Synopsis
Kaley Cuoco ("8 Simple Rules") stars in the Lifetime Original Movie To Be Fat Like Me, the story of an attractive high school junior who experiences firsthand the prejudice and heartbreak overweight teens face when she goes from in shape to obese overnight. A popular student athlete, Aly (Cuoco) always planned on getting into college by landing a softball scholarship. But when a sports injury leaves her sidelined, she decides to enter a documentary film contest in hopes of winning the prize money to pay for college. Armed with a fat suit and hidden camera, Aly enrolls at a rival high school and attempts to prove that personality can outshine physical appearance. But her confidence is quickly shattered when she is tested, mocked and harassed - a harrowing experience that forces her to recognize how intolerant she has been of her own family's weight issues.
