One Big Happy Family<\/em>, a new reality show about obesity in the American family, premiered on TLC last night. The six-episode docu-series chronicles the lives of the morbidly obese Klump<\/del> Coles Family as they face everyday realities and struggle to understand why they overeat. This isn’t the first time the nation’s battle against the bulge has been the focus of a reality show.

Norris Coles, 41, weighs 340 lbs. His wife Tameka, 36, weighs 380 lbs. Their daughter Amber, 16, weighs 348 lbs. Son Shayne, 14, weighs 308 lbs. Shayne is at risk for diabetes, but his mom sees nothing wrong with shoveling sugary snacks on the teen — which he happily devours. Amber admits that for her, food has become an addiction. In fact, each of The Coles relish indulging in eats. However, the family has decided to turn to each other for the motivation to lose weight. Coles Family matriarch Tameka hopes that documenting their weight loss journey on the small screen will inspire other overweight Americans to put down their forks and take an interest in getting healthy.<\/p>\n
