Korsica tried to lose weight, without success. She tried Slim Fast, but the shakes "were nasty" and didn't keep her from eating other foods, she said.
Korsica's father and two brothers are trim, but her mother said Korsica has a slow metabolism. Korsica also has a weakness for fried chicken, barbecued ribs, macaroni and cheese, buttered popcorn and chocolate milk. And, she watches too much television.
Before her surgery, Korsica would lie in bed after dinner and watch TV while munching on cookies and potato chips. In summer, she would watch all day long.
"I can't live without TV," she said.

It doesn't sound like she tried all that damn hard to lose weight.
I'm all for people who do this that have fallen into extreme obesity because of medical conditions- glandular imbalance, genetic disorder, etc. I would agree this would be the best course of action if the person in question was too obese to function in society (a shut in), because it's hard to lose weight when you get out of breath walking to the refrigerator.
But this child just ate her way into obesity and looked for a cheap way out. It disgusts me.
