My favorite episode
addicy3 October 2022
This episode hit close to home for me. I battled my weight for years. The thing I didn't like was when Louise encouraged the name calling, like taking the "Save the Whales" poster off the wall and saying.

Louise: Look, you even knew I was coming!

Louise then broke down saying she wishes she could look like Punky.

I entually conquered my demons by losing over 80lbs. This episode sets an example of how to lose weight the right way.

Crash dieting and not eating for days at a time isn't the solution.

Louise then used Punky's words of wisdom and found her inner willpower to finally lose weight.

What a thing to teach children!
No wonder so many of us acquired eating disorders. Why did every TV show in the 80s and 90s address weight in such unhelpful and unhealthy ways? No shows about children should even directly mention weight loss without actually talking about how to eat healthy.
