Bulimia97: you are brave. I had bulimia and it took me a while to admit I had a problem. Get help. Please. Find a clinic or someone to talk to. Encouragement, support, acceptance by anyone should make you think that you should be able to get help.
@ResidentEvilEX101: Do you want to die?? Why would you starve yourself then binge and purge? Your body needs the nutrition. You don't have to starve yourself. You can eat the nutritious foods. You need to get help. You are not alone. I was this way too. And I got help.
Fuck that I'm anorexic and have parts of bulimia and I'm a 17 year old guy and I wouldn't change anything it's an amazing feeling to do it I luv starving for a couple of days then binge and purge the next it's amazing can't wait to get to 100 pounds gain I luv it
@mlyn1982 i think she became the woman in the Mercedes in Creepshow the episode was called: "The Hitchiker". It looks an awful like her, I mean, seriously, check it out, I am sure you can find a clip of it here, even!
FYI, the actress who played the friend Kristen is Judy Kuhn. She's a broadway singer and was also the singing voice for the Disney Princess Pocahontas.
wow all these females that are admitting that they are bullimic or anorexic breaks my heart. Never have I done it or knew any friends that did it. I wish there was some way I can help!
@crazydestiny17 While anorexia and bulimia sufferers are most commonly female. I am 33 years old, male and also a recovered anorexic and bulimic. I can tell you that while I can relate to most female sufferers its becoming more and more known that men and boys also suffer and battle with these to illnesses. Statics state that one in every ten males has suffered from or is battling with an eating disorder. I am just thankful that I got the needed help and am healthy again. 6 years of hell
I know this might be stupid but I'm kind of surprised that her mom instantly knew that the jars were full of vomit, it looked like it was gravy or something.
it kind of seems like they're trying to make it creepy (like the music, and the way her friend said 'there's no such thing as TOO THIN') though... it's more corny than suspenseful. also, 08:53 is so sad...
Argh, I hate how "psychiatrist" is such a dirty word in this . . . "A . . . PSYCHIATRIST!" "What! No!" -- though I know even from my own family that some people feel that way ): I really wish we could get rid of the social stigma of seeing a mental health professional. Quite frankly we probably ALL could benefit from a therapist, just some of us more than others.
That is so sad =( it makes me upset when people are slim but they think there fat it's all in the mind, but I know I am fat I'm two stone overweight and I will eat healthy and exercise, anorexia and bulimia is not worth it, nobody was born to die starving you self is like slow suicide.
This movie kinda bugs me. I'm anorexic bulimic and it's nothing at all like portrayed in the movie. It's something that you have to live with the rest of your life and there is no quick fix. Just determination and hard work.
@abercrombiehllstr Exactly...it's like people think there is one 'cure'..I don't know if there really is a cure; but there are ways of dealing with it. I hate that people think that they just go away over time or something like that...just doesn't work that way...it hangs on tight.
i hate the fact that in this current time, most people don't see eating disorders as something extremely serious. i think it's just as serious as any other disease or disorder.
Speaking strictly as a non ED sufferer, isn't it exasperating how these movies skip all the hard work that goes into recovery? And then people who actually do have ED's use these movies as thinspiration! I do like that the real sufferer made an appearance at the end and talked about what it was like.
@FuCkThEGoLd not from where Im sitting it's not exaggerated at all. Everyone's experience with this is different. I could tell some pretty horrific stories myself.
Bulimia/anorexia is the worst disease ever. I know its self inflicted but once you start its hard to stop. Trust me its the worst thing ever but at the same time it makes you feel so good. Its more about how you feel and your emotions. Its not about been thin even though it does play a role in it. I wish i could go back in time and change everything but once you have an eating disorder you will have a problem with food for the rest of your life...
@redsoxfan426 I get where you are coming from. My ex-boyfriend was also bulimic, as am I. That's why we broke up, because we would b & p together and he sought help. I didn't. Help is out there. It is just a matter of finding it!
i also have an E.D and i once told my mom that i would go and have gone days sometimes a whole week without eating because i want to lose weight, but she didn't believe me because i'm "chubby", i once fainted and she asked me what was wrong and i just told her that it was because i got up too fast from bed, she believed me.
I have asked about help. The doctors have been loughing. They didnt belive me. Nobody around me belive. So, what should i do? keep going and keep starving to death. Thats not that easy how in movies.
I have asked about help. The doctors have been loughing. They didnt belive me. Nobody around me belive. So, what should i do? keep going and keep starving to death. Thats not that easy how in movies.
@bareOHA Oh, I understand. I'm going through something similar. I want help, but no one will help me, even when I ask.
You should try seeing a different doctor about your problems. Some doctors aren't educated in eating disorders and don't take them seriously. I know it hurts when people don't believe you. I'm so sorry. Those people are ignorant. But keep looking for help.
I wish I could get help. I have bulimia and nobody would believe me because I am a guy. I know that nobody would believe me if I told them because they don't think that boys get it.
This was the best movie about eating disorders I've seen ... It brought me to tears when she said " ooooh , please help me , I need help , please dont hate me ."
I wish that they would make a movie that inspired anorexics/bulemics to eat more. Every movie I watch only makes me want to restrict. Theres no hope. Movies like these are so depressing.
When I first saw this documentary on HBO was when I was a teen. It scared the crap out of me, and it made me realize I have a complex about food and my eating habits.... And since seeing a picture of myself I realized I've let myself 'go' a little...
Don't be afraid to get fat girls. Men love a womanly plump body with places they can grab on to. Screw the model look. Not everyone is going to be a model so being super skinny is pointless. Just enjoy the pleasures of life!
@Rayers How about... who cares what men are attracted to in women, don't base your self-esteem on anything that someone else wants for you. Keep in mind that some women actually are naturally thin and wouldn't appreciate your criticism of their healthy frame, or that some women, even those with eating disorders, aren't always heterosexual.
This segment is so creepy from start to finish. If the intention of the producers was to make bulimia look as creepy and unglamorous as possible, then they succeeded by far!!!
You know what scares me? I'm Kristin's weight and 22 years old. But I am only 4'6", very short for my age (though I am not a dwarf). To see someone taller dying at that weight...that really is scary. I guess it's hard for me to grasp, because around 80-something pounds is a normal and healthy weight for me.
Actually you're overweight for your height. Seriously? At 4'6" you should be 70 pounds. And 4'6" is being a dwarf lol. To legally be a person of normal height you have to be 4'11" or taller.
@xxazukixx Actually, no. I have proportionate limbs, which makes me not a dwarf. My medical records say I may have "leprechaunism," but I don't fit the features for that, either, oddly enough. And according to my doctors, I am not overweight. I have checked on websites and they say that the 70-lb. model for my height is outdated, and that to be overweight, I would have to be 100 pounds or so. I'm also on corticosteroids, and since tapering, I have found that I am rapidly losing weight.
that would suck to feel ugly when you're not i dont think i'm gorgeous but i think i'm pretty i've only known one person with bulimia and she's doing so well now i'm proud of her girls and guys out there stay strong and be confident for dont you know
@solisjer "Perfect" is relative and by definition unobtainable, probably not the best word to throw around people with eating disorders and obsessive tendencies who feel they'll never live up to anybody's standards. Not to mention that not everyone believes in your god, or any deity for that matter.
@ideoplastic Ok, so i'm PRETTY CERTAIN i didn't THROW words at anybody, they obviously have a right to read or not read what it is i wrote. So, like yours, my opinion means nothing. umm and yeah i don't think my comment was negative or is gonna make someone self-conscious my comment was positive and i don't regret it! ok have a wonderful life!
I am a young man, and I have bulimia. I am afraid to tell anybody about it because, I am a guy, and people might think that I have something wrong with me, because I am a guy, and it is regarded as a girl's disease. I often wonder if I am the only bulimic male in America.
@redsoxfan426 Trust me, you're not. I used to have it. I had a friend who had it as well. He got to the point where he needed to be hospitalized. You're not alone.
we had to see this in heath and when the cristan girl died the wole class was cracking up and the sub yelled at us and when our teacher got back we got a really long talking to
@icanhasthin give him all the help you can, be there for him, love him, try not to pressure him, but he needs you now more than he ever will... stop it before you can't, take him to a doctor, get a dietitian/nutritionalist, a councellor, maybe even an ED specialist, i'm just giving ideas here but i urge you to go to the doctors and a heads up he will likely lie and down play the problem, we all do
wow what a story...ok the acting may have been bad but this happens to people everywhere. thank god ive never done this although i was constantly on a diet for many many years.now im older i no longer diet but im not fat by any means because i use sensibles eating habits and regular..not extreme..excersise.this is the ONLY way to maintain weight healthily.think about it ppl
think about how bad purging is for your teeth thats how i stopped and dont purge if its less than 300 cals. remember dont eat crap if your gonna eat eat something with proteins or vitamins ur body needs those
@ButterflySilverWings stop it now, don't do it anymore. My teeth are rotting away and my throat always hurts... I've been doing it for 5-6 years. Don't end up like me.
honey, you HAVE TO STOP! its not healthy and you.are.beautiful.
i don't want you to die for this awful disease & i want you experience all of the happy things in life. you"re not gonna if you continue doing what you're doing and hurting urself! THINK!
I really want to be sure to instill in my daughter a healthy body image. I also want to be very aware of the problems she is facing and to teach her healthy ways to deal with her problems. It is so sad when girls (and guys) do these things to themselves just to gain some control.
@joyfulpraise93 you are a very nice parent...though the eating orders are diseases about self control issues...and not one person can help other than the parient....
@joyfulpraise93 Well, you might not want to show her this movie. This sick thing about eating disorders is how easily they can be triggered by even the worse examples of them. It would be best not to show her any movies or anything that put a skinny, beautiful face to the ED. Just talk to her and outline all the negative consequence. The more examples of EDs that they see, the more sensationalized they become.
@joyfulpraise93 There are so many subtle signs. I hope, if your daughter does start to have an ED mind set, that you can stop her and get her the help she needs before the worst comes. Even better, none of that happening at all. EDs are crippling and I wouldn't wish one upon anyone.
@joyfulpraise93 You can start by making your daughter take martial arts and soccer instead of ballet and gymnastics. Let her learn a harmony with her body through athletics to gain that confidence while young. Don't tax her but encourage her interests - science, music, art - so she has an outlet (and distraction) beyond self-destruction. Then just try to have a good relationship with her as a parent.
@Eirene001 yes I agree. Maybe send some of these people to third world countries where food is limited and privileged. The Problem with USA is that there is way too much privilege here. It is disgusting at how people abuse it. They are suffering like this because of their access to EXCESS. gluttony is disgusting and a shame in the eyes of God. I have lived with people like this. Family member of my own, and It makes everyone around them miserable.
to me, this represents the darkest corner of humanity. Nothing is more depressing or twisted or vile. even in cases of the most mesed up murderers and child rapists, they torture and ruin others not themselves. the isolation, shortsightnedness and illogicity of this behavior is probably what I fear most i life. That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to watch. I know these girls don't truly have control over what they're doing, but still this is bewildering to me.
maybe i can study to become a doctor so I can attempt to treat girls with eating disorders. I can at the same time face my worst fear and maybe save a few lives.
@ets008 thats an extreme opinion. i think its a million times worse to be raped or murdered. i get your point though but just saying. i would rather throw up and hurt myself than let somebody else hurt me...
Its common meaning a lot of girls do it, that doesn't mean its normal. And its true, a lot of girls do become bulimic, millions in fact, and there very many reasons why they do it.
@anaelisebeth common and normal mean two different things. Common means it happens to a good amount of people. normal means that there is nothing wrong with it, that it is okay. he said common, meaning she is not alone, hes not saying that what she is doing is fine and not a problem
i know i need a doctor but bulimia is like a fd of me but also my enemy... i want to lose my weight though i want to be healthy again and not die young... so i refused the doctors my parents asked me to see.
how is constantly binging and purging "under control"? get some help before you kill yourself. You KNOW you NEED it. Stop letting MIA rule YOUR life my friend.
2:26 omfg......... ...augh ....fuck................ I never let my parents know... I was about to date one girl (im a guy) and I some how trusted her and told her. and she stopped talking to me completely 100% she just cut me off.... so I"m pretty sure I won't tell another person BUT after abou a year of shoving my face in the toiletI've gotten it under control. its so hard, but I've come a long way. bulimia was like a friend... but a bitch. both my heaven and hell
@bnycabc yeah, agree with you...the only person I can really talk to about bulimia is my shrink...who is the only person who understands and not judging....my parents will definately kill me(actually I think my mom knew but didn't say it straight to my face)...beulmia is like my best friend in a way...heaven and hell on earth...are you feeling better these days??
Most ED deaths are caused by heart failure...there are other effects, like not being able to have children, but most physical consequences aren't immediate and you don't see them coming, making it easier to get out of control
@JiGsAwMoFo thats not really stereotyping. steretyping would be like saying all girls are bulimic. Saying it is common just means that a pretty good amount of teenagers are bulimic. which is true
i arree with pristeenxX. they don't understand how it is for girls.i also don't think the media should be stoped from going out of there way to make girls look bad. we can't look like eva longoria
This movie has such bad acting and is so badly written that I can't stop watching. The scene with the browned haired girl where she's on the bed is creepy because of the way she's acting.
ugh.....the disgusting thing is, at the end, when they walked in on her bingeing, i was only wondering 'but did she get to purge at least?' fuck eating disorders......
Honestly, I thought that, too. Normally, any other person watching this would pay more attention to her getting help, finally, but really, I just thought about how much food she probably ate and if she purged it or not. It's sick.
to avgeekster, when you have an ed, sometimes if you meet others who have eds,a "competitive" streak comes out, between the individuals but "encouraging" others to lose that much weight is just not a healthy trelationship.thats why people who have eating disorders are friends w/others who are eating disordered, make each other worse.
i agree with most of the comments below, this is a really extreame example of bulimia. I've been struggling with an eating disorder for years and my sister was anorexic for 4 years. I know exactly how it is and this film is just making girls who have an eating problem look like freaks. Even the way they speak & act is scary :|
sorry this is so late. i'm sorta N.O.S. at the moment. I've been through subjective binges though--bulimia and purging just doesn't work for me though.
omg, how sad it must be to be bulimic. but even if you yourself have an eating disorder, how could you encourage a friend to drop below 90 lbs? that is really sick.
She was eating so fast in the back of the car, I wonder how she even tasted anything.

I am a young man, and I have bulimia. I am afraid to tell anybody about it because, I am a guy, and people might think that I have something wrong with me, because I am a guy, and it is regarded as a girl's disease. I often wonder if I am the only bulimic male in America.

@icanhasthin give him all the help you can, be there for him, love him, try not to pressure him, but he needs you now more than he ever will... stop it before you can't, take him to a doctor, get a dietitian/nutritionalist, a councellor, maybe even an ED specialist, i'm just giving ideas here but i urge you to go to the doctors and a heads up he will likely lie and down play the problem, we all do

joyfulpraise93 2 years ago 32
@joyfulpraise93 you are a very nice parent...though the eating orders are diseases about self control issues...and not one person can help other than the parient....
lledwig 1 year ago
@joyfulpraise93 Well, you might not want to show her this movie. This sick thing about eating disorders is how easily they can be triggered by even the worse examples of them. It would be best not to show her any movies or anything that put a skinny, beautiful face to the ED. Just talk to her and outline all the negative consequence. The more examples of EDs that they see, the more sensationalized they become.
toothmarkedhands 1 year ago
@joyfulpraise93 There are so many subtle signs. I hope, if your daughter does start to have an ED mind set, that you can stop her and get her the help she needs before the worst comes. Even better, none of that happening at all. EDs are crippling and I wouldn't wish one upon anyone.

SasukeLovesMe123 1 year ago
@joyfulpraise93 You can start by making your daughter take martial arts and soccer instead of ballet and gymnastics. Let her learn a harmony with her body through athletics to gain that confidence while young. Don't tax her but encourage her interests - science, music, art - so she has an outlet (and distraction) beyond self-destruction. Then just try to have a good relationship with her as a parent.

@Eirene001 yes I agree. Maybe send some of these people to third world countries where food is limited and privileged. The Problem with USA is that there is way too much privilege here. It is disgusting at how people abuse it. They are suffering like this because of their access to EXCESS. gluttony is disgusting and a shame in the eyes of God. I have lived with people like this. Family member of my own, and It makes everyone around them miserable.

to me, this represents the darkest corner of humanity. Nothing is more depressing or twisted or vile. even in cases of the most mesed up murderers and child rapists, they torture and ruin others not themselves. the isolation, shortsightnedness and illogicity of this behavior is probably what I fear most i life. That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to watch. I know these girls don't truly have control over what they're doing, but still this is bewildering to me.

@anaelisebeth common and normal mean two different things. Common means it happens to a good amount of people. normal means that there is nothing wrong with it, that it is okay. he said common, meaning she is not alone, hes not saying that what she is doing is fine and not a problem

OhMaiGosh 2 years ago 3
to avgeekster, when you have an ed, sometimes if you meet others who have eds,a "competitive" streak comes out, between the individuals but "encouraging" others to lose that much weight is just not a healthy trelationship.thats why people who have eating disorders are friends w/others who are eating disordered, make each other worse.
