Binge Buddies - Andrea and Carrie

These stay-at-home moms have encouraged each other to pack on the pounds. Andrea has been chubby since childhood, and high school teasing about her weight left her scarred for life. As someone who likes only the most basic foods and junk, Andrea has a hard time making good choices for herself and her family.

Carrie was slim and fit before she had her first child, and then twins, but hasn’t shed any of the pregnancy weight and keeps gaining. She is pretty clueless in the kitchen, but knows that she needs to learn how to make healthy food in order to control her weight.

When their kids have gone to bed, the girls love nothing more than getting together to chat and eat their way through mounds of chocolate, chips and fast food. They know that if they are ever going to start feeling good about themselves, they need to find new ways to bond, that don't include food.

Andrea and Carrie

Andrea has always been bigger than her peers, and was bullied throughout school because of her size. She is tired of living her life in the shadows and being worried about what people think of her.
Always athletic, until she had twins, Carrie has never been able to lose her pregnancy weight. Overindulging in fatty treats with her best friend and neighbour, Andrea, has only added to her weight problem.
