Discovery Fit & Health is putting the intricate relationship between a mother and daughter under the microscope in the new series MY MOM IS OBSESSED Thursday, March 29 at 10 PM ET/PT. Each episode will take an emotional journey inside the minds of two teenage girls, ages 12-18, who are struggling to create healthy relationships with their dysfunctional mothers who are consumed with an obsession such as plastic surgery, weight, shopping, working out or partying.
Exercise & Plastic Surgery - March 29 at 10 PM ET/PT Susan from Grosse Ile Township, MI is addicted to cosmetic procedures and it's making the life of her daughter Analise extremely difficult. Meanwhile, Sharnique from Marietta, GA is obsessed with the gym and it's ruining the life of her daughter Brittany.
Weight & Shopping - April 5 at 10 PM ET/PT Tamara from Dana Point, CA is a diet addict and obsessed with her and her teenage daughter Alizabeth's weight. Running a strict diet regime for both her and Alizabeth is ruining their relationship and turning the kitchen into a war zone. Monica from Redondo Beach, CA is a shopaholic and she's run up so much debt that she and her teenage daughter, Kaley, are in danger of losing their home.
Bodybuilding & Partying - April 12 at 10 PM ET/PT Cheryl from Dublin, CA is addicted to bodybuilding, spending all her free time lifting weights, and her oldest daughter Rachel feels like she never sees her mom and she's been replaced with an elliptical machine. Tennille from Los Angeles is a party girl. She goes out drinking most nights of the week, staying out until the early hours of the morning while Brittney, her teenage daughter, stays home to play mom to her two younger brothers.
Men & Freedom - April 19 at 10 PM ET/PT 17 year-old Chelsea from Fullerton, CA feels her teenage years have come to an abrupt end while 14 year-old Albany from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA feels hers are over before they've even begun. While both of their moms go out and enjoy themselves, these teens must stay home and take care of all the housework, cooking, schooling and parenting.
Food & Control - April 26 at 10 PM ET/PT Rosa from San Diego can't control her eating and spends all her time bingeing and playing computer games while her 12 year-old daughter, Kiana, does all the household chores and is constantly worrying about her mom's health. Desperate to be a kid again, Kiana's finally had enough of her mom's lifestyle. Meanwhile, Pamela from Conyers, GA can't stop controlling every aspect of her daughter London's life. Fed up, London has threatened to go and live with a relative if her mom doesn't give up her hovering ways.
Therapy Session - May 3 at 10 PM ET/PT Obsession ruins lives and destroys relationships... and when obsession enters a household it can rip families apart. Any activity, no matter how small, can become an obsession if left unchecked. When a person is so preoccupied with something that it is all consuming, dominates their daily life and becomes more important than personal relationships... obsession has taken hold.

this is so sad. that poor girl
but i can't blame her, i'm amazing
also i want plastic surgery really badly but i'm forever poor
i also want hardcore all over electrolysis because i hate my body hair and a chemical peel on my face
too overprotective, makes everything a big ass deal, doesn't know when to stop calling, always asks me if I'm hungry etc
but she means well of course.
just add school to it
I know it's a mental illness, but it doesn't exactly make for the best mom in the world.
She can't hold down a job but calls me a failure even though I have a college degree and have had the same job for years + promotions.
and A+ for the icon as well lol
Zahz, as i like to call her, is also on some Animal Planet show ... i thought she was going for the reality trifecta
Dr. G/ Curious & unusual Deaths (basically 1000 ways to die, only classier)/Mystery Diagnosis/Diagnosis X/ etc. ARE MY JAMS. I go through phases where they're all i watch.
