Nikki Blonsky and Hayley Hasselhoff On New Weight-Loss Camp Drama 'Huge' (VIDEO)

'Huge'We've seen the "reality" of weight loss on shows like 'The Biggest Loser,' but the real reality is that obesity, eating disorders and body image issues are more common that you probably think, and there's a good chance you or someone you know if affected by them every day.

ABC Family realized this, and now they're in the weight loss TV game with 'Huge,' a quirky drama based on Sasha Paley's book of the same name, helmed by 'My So-Called Life' creator Winnie Holzman and starring Nikki Blonsky and Hayley Hasselhoff (yes, daughter of The Hoff and, ironically, the one who shot the now-infamous hamburger binge video).

We caught up with the ladies to find out what to expect from the show (premieres Mon., June 28, 9PM ET) and to hear more about their characters -- Blonsky as opinionated non-conformist Will, who is the daughter of fitness gurus, and Hasselhoff as social butterfly Amber, who is dying to be thin and fit in.

I like weight-loss inspired shows. They help me on my own journey to losing the lbs. I've lost 67 lbs. w/43 to go. These shows make it a lot easier. I know I'm not alone and seeing others succeed makes me smile.

I really hope this is the kind of show they're describing. If there's one thing America needs to understand is that fat doesn't automatically mean unhealthy or a lack of control problem. But I don't trust ABC Family. The Secret Life of the American Teen is a terrible example of a role-model show if I ever saw one.
