Adrianna and Ricardo are my faves. She shows real life struggles with navigating the world around her filled with hate and intolerance. More importantly, she shows her resilience to it and the true love that Ricardo has for her as a beautiful person inside and out.
As someone who has felt judged and ridiculed for my own difficulties with weight, I know her sadness too well. I am fortunate to also have a husband who loves me unconditionally for all of me and makes me feel empowered. People are people regardless of size on the outside. Those that cat call and shout obscenities don't realize the damage they cause or the pain they create in another by simply judging them in these ways. Most of them are not worth knowing anyway.
Change can come (if someone wants it) if they are encouraged and supported. No good change will come from being bullied.
I'm rather sad the show ended so quickly. It finally gave a voice to larger women who normally have no voice otherwise.
