To me, a thirty-something northern European, fat camps were just a Hollywood invention. I’ve never seen one nor have I known anyone who has.
However, the worldview I’ve adopted from my social bubble popped when I came across Hannah, an HR consultant and online content creator from the US who has actually had the displeasure of going to such an establishment.
Meet Hannah, a 28-year-old HR consultant from North Carolina who recently went viral on TikTok for sharing her personal experience of attending a fat camp

In 2009, when she was 15, Hannah attended the now-defunct Wellspring Adventure Camp in Haywood County, North Carolina

Hannah spent there 10 weeks, which was the longest she’d been away from home at the time
The woman described what it was like on TikTok
@hannahalysee Reply to @oratilelove1 #greenscreen I realize it’s called a “wellness camp” and not a “fat camp” but lets be real #fyp #foryou #weightlossstories #fatcamp #childhoodmemories #storytime ♬ original sound – Hannah
And said she chose to go there willingly

As well as many other things that happened there
@hannahalysee Reply to @lyndsay3000 I also rigged up movies in my iPod & that wasn’t allowed but I broke rules #fyp #foryou #fatcamp #weightlossstories #VenmoSpringBreak #macysownyourstyle ♬ original sound – Hannah
Here’s what she looked like before the camp, weighing around 216 pounds

Many people were surprised that fat camps were real and not just a movie gimmick
Hannah said there were many things that could’ve been done differently

And opened up about her life beyond the fat camp
