In her words

The Californian gave Brooke Stanley, one of the teens featured in the Weighed Down series, an audio recorder to use between interviews.

We used one of the audio entries in her photo slideshow.

Attached are some more of her thoughts, including her opinions on surgery, gym class and going to the doctors office.

She brings up issues related to her weight most people might not think of.
