Good Idea - But worried about consequences
I am a very happy and now relatively healthy woman. I suffered anorexia from age 13 to about 21. When I hit my all time low weight I was admitted to hospital. Now, happy living with my husband and animals, I no longer think about food obsessively very often. Im the heaviest I have ever been. This program was very informative, well balanced and I applaude Louise for trying to bring the problem to the masses. But the bottom line is, even though a lot of it was upsetting and appauling, a small part of me admired her for the amount of weight she lost and how quickly it happened. I remembered all my tricks and bad habits. After watching it, even nodding my head in agreement and discussing elements of the program I still had a pull to go down that path. I started on the old diet cherry coke and grapefruits and 'forgetting' to eat dinner. And I like the feeling of control. I'm not blaming Louise for my anorexia, but I do worry that it has sparked myself and others back into bad habits or influenced others to do the same.
