The NPO series 'It's Your Fault That I'm Fat' profiles British teens battling severe obesity, often attributing it to their parents. Sixteen-year-old Anna, weighing nearly 105kg, is a prime example.
Anna finds support from her mother, Sarah, who admits to comfort snacking. "It's a kind of comfort," Sarah explains.

Anna's father, Neil, notes she has always had a hearty appetite, but it has spiraled recently. "When I'm alone with Anna, I can still manage evening snacks, but when her mother is around… She loves to snack too."
Even so, he rarely refuses when Anna asks for dinner leftovers.
With her weight eroding her self-confidence—Anna avoids tight or short clothes her friends wear—it's time for change. She acknowledges personal responsibility but primarily blames her parents for not curbing her portions.
Anna and her family are now teaming up to turn things around.
See their progress and if they stick with it. Catch the replay.
'Your Fault That I'm Fat' airs every Tuesday on NPO 3 around 10 p.m.
