* HaplessSelfHelp: and her mother (like millions of other girls and women) were believers in the Baptist Plan, a Weightwatchers/Jenny Craig hybrid diet plan that taught them weight loss and being thin were the solutions to all their problems. As a result, Plum is very depressed and has very low self-esteem in present day, as she's never managed to lose weight. When she runs into the Baptist Plan's heiress daughter Verena, Verena tells her the truth: her mother lost weight once through the Baptist Plan but soon gained weight again. Her father was initially opposed to her losing weight, as he loved her JustTheWayYouAre. However, with their newfound millions from the Baptist Plan on the line, he forced her to get a gastric band. The surgery went wrong and left her incontinent for the rest of her life.
