14 DAY TRIAL // In February this year, the team of specialists from The Doctors rallied for what was dubbed at the time one of the strangest cases of intervention of recent years: they vowed to get 9-year-old reality star Alana Thompson aka Honey Boo Boo (and her mother) to get to a healthy weight.
Alana grew up in the spotlight, breaking on the scene as one of the little girls on TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras show, before getting her own spinoff, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. TLC pulled the plug on it when news broke that the girl’s mother, June Thompson aka Mama June, was having relations with a convicted child molester.
This appearance on The Doctors is meant to get her back into the good graces of the public and re-launch her and her daughter’s career in showbiz.
Honey Boo Boo isn’t sticking to her diet
Specialists on The Doctors checked in with Honey Boo Boo and her mother, to see if she was sticking to her diet. Their progress (or, better said, lack thereof) is included on the newest episode of the show, and you can see a teaser video for it below.
Jeanne McDaniel arrives at the house and checks the refrigerator to see if it’s packed with the unhealthy foods and treats Mama June supplied an abundance of before. It wasn’t, but McDaniel wasn’t exactly happy with what she found either, for it was packed with old leftovers.
“That just can make you wonder if she’s snacking on other items - especially at school. It appears that Alana is just kind of doing this on her own right now,” McDaniel says, hinting that Mama June is still not paying attention to the sound advice she’s receiving regarding her daughter’s obesity problem.
The third video embedded below is also a teaser for this new episode, featuring a bit more footage shot on this occasion: you can see Alana, for instance, boasting about how much she loves Oreos, with a plate full of them by her side.
Mama June comes around
The second video is of Mama June at an LA gym, where she’s working out with a personal trainer, determined to shed the excess weight. She’s also been posting paid endorsements of juice cleanses on her social media, saying she’s been using them herself and is already seeing the results.
So while she may have been the number 1 obstacle in The Doctors’ attempt to get Honey Boo Boo to lose weight, she probably came around later. We’ll see if that’s the case at the beginning of next month, when the team checks in with the two again, to determine if there’s been significant weight loss.
At this moment, Alana needs to lose weight because she’s grossly overweight and already having health issues because of it. She’s not even in her teens yet (she’s 9) and she already weighs double than what she should.
Mama June also has a serious weight problem, but it doesn’t seem like she understands the risks her youngest daughter is running.
