So his mom wants to eat pizza? So what? If she is making the money and he's living in her house then he should move out or find a job to pay for his salad. He wants to control his whole family just like he controls his eating so everyone else in his family can be as miserable and self-absorbed as him. This guy is a leetch on his family.
Imagine it like drug addicts, when they feel that urge to shoot up, smoke, or whatever purging does the same thing it gives you what you feel like is the best high. You feel disgusted when you binged and accomplished when you purge. And yes after you purge you are fool because you tricked your brain and stomachs into thinking you ate and if used to an extreme you can lose massive amounts of weight from purging, I went from 308 pounds to 237 in just less than 8 months, my nails were blue, my hai
@jezzieBell05 i dont kno if this will help you at all, but its worth a try:
Bulimia a disease where a person can eat whatever they want, anything they feel like! And then throw it up so their body doesnt gain weight. Believe me, we dont want bulimia. But after eating, you just feel fat, and guilty, so you purge and it really does make you feel better.
People do not think about it that way, but when you're as big as Brian's mother then you have an eating disorder! A life threatening one! The irony is that Brian got an eating disorder because his family has one! In his childhood, there were none who taught him to have a healthy relationship with food or respect for his body, but I'm sure he'll learn it and will come out as a stronger person!
@illy2222ace They eat like 10,000 calories a day or more sometimes... you know ANYONE who can work off THAT?! It's a mental illness...many of them are UNDERWEIGHT and you obviously know nothing about eating disorders. Go troll somewhere else.
hey, brain is actively working to control all of the food around him as an expression of his disorder. His family does NOT have to change their diets to make him better, and by letting him have control over every type of food in their house they are making his disorder WORSE. Brian needs to resolve his own issues, not manage his family's eating. He will still binge on lettuce and grilled chicken.
obsessed with brian. Though in the comments about brian's mum lacking empathy, i have a mother who mirrors my eating disorder characteristics right back at me, and i think its worse and 100x more frustrating, coz you know where you get it from.
I feel sad about the mother...like she wants to help but doesnt know how,and is hard for a family when someone has an eating disorder,it hard from their side too.Not all of them are prepared enough to face this disease correctly,is really hard and shocking for the family and the one affected.
He can't really tell his family to eat what he it's just because he has an disorder.. If he don't want to eat it then he don't have to.. my family eats a lot of junk but I choose not to..
How about this advice for this little boy? You puke it up, you pay me back in full! I used this with my friend and she made an incredible effort for the 6 day visit she had with me. She wouldn't intake nearly as much as I thought was safe, but I just laid down some very serious ground rules. She was free to puke up anything she herself bought, but if it was my money paying for it, I had no mercy. I think enough people can relate that money is very tight, too tight to waster
@BeeVan19 Sorry, that's not the way bulimia works. It's a mental disorder and an addiction. You can't tell an alcoholic "wow you're wasting money!" and expect a lightbulb to go off and everything to suddenly be okay. That's a very naive/uninformed way of looking at a serious problem. As a bulimic, when I couldn't afford food (mostly because I'd spend the majority of my income on it) I'd resort to stealing, as do most bulimics. There's no simple solution like the one you offer.
I'm sorry but as a bulimic relapser Brian is being completely unfair to his family, it's HIS problem not theirs. Just because they choose not to acknowledge their own eating habits doesn't mean they need to change their whole life for his.
I dont think his mum is a b*tch. She just sounds like someone who wants to help but doesnt yet even understand the problem...nevermind how to help. I remember telling my partner after 4years together that I was anorexic. He's response was 'you need to come to south carolina. my mama will cook u up a meal you cant pass up'. As if the problem for 11 years had been that I just hadnt found a tasty meal yet lol. Give the woman a break. She just doesnt understand and she's doing the best she can
Brian is so stuck up ok I get your going though something real tough. I know how you feel the shame but wtf your lucky that your mom can look you in the damn eye and wants to help you out. Be fucking grateful you damn fuck I'd love to have a mom like yours...>:(!!!!
I seriously don't think anyone should be judging Brian's mom. When I had my disorder it was terribly hard to bring up to my parents, the response was that I was being selfish and I just needed to go help myself... Not many people are as lucky as him.
I don't think she is trying to unsupported. I think she is confused and frustrated. She doesn't know what to do to help. Although she could be using some of her money to go see a therapist with her son and see what she can do on her end of things to help him through it and make it better.
It really has nothing to do with food. I mean food is just the outside problem. The issues with food are mental problems that usually revolve around family issues or traumatic events. Obsessing on food helps you deal (or so you think) with these unresolved issues. Trust me though even though you count calories and restrict (which I did), exercise obsessively, binge, purge (or do all or some of these) the issues don't go away. ㅠㅠ
I love when he says that people with eating disorders aren't trying to be evil, bad or bother people. I hated it when I was really into my anorexia and ignorant people told me to just eat. It just made it worse and then I really did not want to eat at all.
Why is everyone ripping on Brian's family? Are you all 12 years old? They don't understand because he isn't communicating. He acts like the whole thing should just make intuitive sense to those around him when it really doesn't. If you are that dedicated to not gaining weight, having temptations around you is just a reality that you have to learn to deal with. Have some self-control and don't be such a self-important prick.
It seems like Brian's mother is well-intentioned and genuinely cares about him, but is simply absolutely clueless when it comes to how to help and what to do/not do. His family could certainly stand to educate themselves and put forth a bit more effort to help! I really hope all of the sufferers profiled here are doing much better. If only there were a recent update...
Brian's mom is EXACTLY like mine. I try and eat healthy, and she eats all sorts of crap that is keeping her overweight and lazy and unhealthy, and she criticizes me every time I try to tell her she should eat healthy. Then I feel stuck and like I need to restrict my own diet to compensate for watching her eat her life away. I feel angry at this woman because she is basically my mom to a T when it comes to food, with her excuses and bs.
he is not over weight but he is a horrible eater. He only eats fast food, meat and potatoes and beer. He just got out of the hospital after experiencing kidney stones. He still has not learned his lesson. His diet is so high sodium it is nasty. I wish he would realize food is important and it can save you or kill you. Good luck and be strong.
@Katarinaanne00 Is it creepy and stalkerish to admit I've looked Brian (Brian Zwolinski) up on facebook and am sorely tempted to send him a message? I guess it kind of is...but its only cos I love him!
People don't realize that when a person has an eating disorder, food can be like what alcohol is to an alcoholic. Only a person NEEDS food to survive, so it is a constant battle all day everyday. Keep going on your journey Brian, we love you!
His mom should cook healthier for him and I will pray for his family... He is such a good son so sensitive.. Yeah please do not binge brian we love YOU.
has anybody ever heard of exersice? it makes you lose weight, makes you look healthier 9skin, hair waist line) and makes you feel better (endorphines) TRY IT. When i feel fat, i just excersize and i feel better every time :)
@trinityandbel Really? .. Clearly eating disorders go way beyond weight concerns. I mean, on the surface, the desire to obtain an ideal body is important, but deep down it is sooo much more than that.
@cheapandchic she did not CHOOSE to be bulimic. An eating disorder is NOT a choice, it's amental illness. Educate yourself before you spew untruths about shit you know nothing about.
The mom doesn't understand...obviously...she's overweight and doesn't have a problem with it. She loves her son and doesn't know how to deal because to her it's so foreign for her. It's hard because she's trying to help him and yet it means her having to make huge changes in her life that she doesn't want to make such as making healthier food. She's not used to it and doesn't understand. I feel bad for him and hope he can get better and find a nice girl. =]
I know exactly what he means when he says "don't get upset, why are you doing this?" because that's the reason I won't talk to my parents about anything - they just get upset. And what he said before, asking his mom if she looked at him differently now. That is my biggest fear - loosing control of how other see me. I feel I must control exactly what others see and dont see of me. its making me so secretive and i hate it but some things i just dont want out there...
I hope everybody who was bashing his mom feels badly about being so judgmental. You can't understand what this situation is like for her just like SHE can't understand what her son is going through. Until you're there, you can't criticize and judge.
I'm a 20 yr old male with bulimia. I can so relate to all of these people. Especially abby and Brian. Everything they said about how they feel and their relationship with their families. Its exactly the situation I'm in. I do spend a lot on food, my parents don't understand my problem, I do go to a lot of different places looking for food, and sometimes i do throw up in a bucket to hide it. All of these things I do.
@SEATTLELOVER4 Have you tried watching any of those Intervention episodes? I would recommend the "Amy P" episode. The person who has it is EDzMyHomie2
it's kept me isolated and hasn't allowed me to work through various issues i need to work through, just like these kids...again, thanks for posting, very powerful...
thanks for posting this...it's the most intense and truthful documentary i've seen about ed's, specifically bulimia...their comments really resonated with me...i've dealt with compulsive binging and various forms of bulimia for the last 17 years...i always think i have it beat and i have yet to truly conquer this behavior...i didn't know that 10-20% of people with eating disorders will die from complications from them...in the past i've definitely thought that i could die from my addiction...
So his mom wants to eat pizza? So what? If she is making the money and he's living in her house then he should move out or find a job to pay for his salad. He wants to control his whole family just like he controls his eating so everyone else in his family can be as miserable and self-absorbed as him. This guy is a leetch on his family.

Like the Abbys mom told her, she puts every one in a bad position... That doesn't help at all

I have been wanting to see this since it aired back in the day. Thank you so much. Very powerful and doesn't make me feel so alone

@SEATTLELOVER4 Have you tried watching any of those Intervention episodes? I would recommend the "Amy P" episode. The person who has it is EDzMyHomie2

thanks for posting this...it's the most intense and truthful documentary i've seen about ed's, specifically bulimia...their comments really resonated with me...i've dealt with compulsive binging and various forms of bulimia for the last 17 years...i always think i have it beat and i have yet to truly conquer this behavior...i didn't know that 10-20% of people with eating disorders will die from complications from them...in the past i've definitely thought that i could die from my addiction...
