InOverOurHeads "Invisible Spectacle" - Part 2 of 3 - Jewish Reality TV

Valerie has struggled for a long time with her self-image. Before getting married and having three kids, she was a size 4 (with men dropping at her feet). Valerie has since put on some weight in what she believes is an effort to melt into the background, become invisible. Was this a backlash to obsessive dieting? Was it self-loathing lingering from difficult relationships? Is it just part of the reality of bearing children and the daily struggles of raising them? We took Valerie to meet with Alexis Beck, an amazing nutritional counselor (and columnist). I think that there's something here that we can all relate to. Enjoy watching and let us know what you think at www.inoverourheads.com!
InOverOurHeads, the first unscripted Jewish reality television series, is now on the first global network devoted to what it means to be Jewish, JLTV - the Jewish Life Television Network. InOverOurHeads sneaks a peek at the crazy lives of a few close friends. Coping with the realities of their restless existence as young, Jewish parents, they debate the absurd, laugh at convention, and reevaluate their ideals in a humorous, yet introspective way. Maintaining a decorum not quite fitting for shul [synagogue, the topics wander into sensitive areas such as marriage, parenting, religion, gender issues, and education. The discussions are honest and irreverent, often with a deep spiritual undertone. They rip apart stereotypes of observant Jews - although like most Jews, they hardly ever agree. InOverOurHeads airs Tuesdays at 8pm Eastern and 9pm Pacific, broadcasting nationwide on DirecTV channel 366, in select metropolitan areas via nationwide affiliations with Time Warner and Comcast, and online at www.jltv.tv. (Please see www.inoverourheads.com for additional air times.) JLTV currently reaches 26 million homes and is anticipated to expand to 40 million homes by year end.
