Dylan (15) and Frederieke (15) are severely overweight as well. They have been heavy since they were very young and often feel ugly and inferior. ‘Fat people should eat less and exercise more,‘ they are often told. But for young people such as Dylan and Frederieke that is easier said than done. Like many children who are overweight, they have a lot on their mind: they are ostracized at school, for instance, and even at home things don’t always run smoothly. ‘Eating is actually a drug,’ Frederieke says. Like Dylan, she has few social contacts. When Frederieke and Dylan attend a camp for overweight children, they slowly become less isolated. Thanks to the support of their fellow sufferers, they gain back their self-confidence bit by bit.
