Okay I mean I do understand that they are getting good help and all, but why make them eat those things ? like deepfried crap and everything, why not just help them lead a healthy lifestyle ???
@jonathora They have to force them to eat those things because they're generally considered to be fear foods when you have an eating disorder. And obviously it's not healthy to eat them every single day, but eating fried foods and desserts on occasion is a normal part of life and they're trying to teach them to look at all foods in a normal way, not just safe and healthy foods. They need to learn that it isn't going to hurt them to indulge sometimes.
@jonathora I know this because I have an eating disorder as well. If I entered a treatment center and my calorie intake was only increased by healthy foods, there's no way I would ever recover. Because those are the foods I eat now, I just eat them in small amounts. You have to change an ED patient's way of thinking and the only way to do that is by making them confront their worst fear foods.
If the workers could just sit there and not eat anything. I would refuse to eat anything. Well actually I'm already not eating anything. But I guarantee this.....no one would get me to eat if I didn't want too.....
My Best friend is anorexic and in the hospital right now. the doctors told her she only has a week to live, and that it's too late. She is really depressed and upset...Could anyone send her some anonomous words of encouragment? Her number is 214 669 1956. She is really sick. Please try to make her last days a little better, no matter how small of a kindness you send her?
I developed a stress caused case of IBS and virtually stopped eating and lost 40 pounds in 6 months...thankfully I had 40 pounds to lose but after a point I started freaking out because I was so scared my body would keep losing the weight and I'd get sick and emaciated....that's the psychological difference between weight loss and anorexia....
I went and read about this place (Rhodes farm) there's two other houses that are part and of the organization that they belong to. The other two houses are for those with enduring and difficult to treat eating disorders I'm betting Naomi was transferred to one of those but maybe not just guessing.
I wonder where they are now...... Seriously they should comment letting us know they're alright! We genuinely care about them :) (or at least I do) xoxo
@gunboundph1 WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT IF THEY ARE DIEING FROM BEING TO SKINNY!!!!!!!!!!KGHUIODSHJVGUOSJIS haha nvm i miss read your comment. I see what you were saying at first.
Man I can't even fathom how these girls can be anorexic- they need to try a funnel cake or curly fries; HOW CAN YOU TURN DOWN CURLY FRIES?! I can't even imagine! Poor girls
how tall are they? I mean to know how much they have to weight ..... it's not so good to gain 1 kilo in a week ... they need to gain not so much in just one week! I don't know how this word is called in english but in germany we say that it's healthy to gain to the 25. BMI Perzentile ... It must be very hard to be at rodes farm ... I hope they really recover!
They shouldn't let the girls see how much they weigh! at my eating disorder clinic, they don't let me or any of the girls see. every week we do a blind weigh in and our parents are instructed to throw away every scale in the house. but i can relate SO much to everything these girls are saying. hope they get better <3
People say about there feeding this girls too much but if they dont eat they will die, most of the girls admitted could die at any min. Considering someone who i knew has recently die of ana , she wanted to beat this and now its beaten her.
Anorexia is never cured no matter what its always there. we dont feel like we have a problem but everyone else does, and you can say that oyu understand but you dont not unless you have lived it.
ive had anorexia problems since i was ten, i was sent into rehab when i was 12 and im doing better but i still have the lurking thoughts in my head everytime i eat how much weight im going to gain. without my boyfriend i would probably be in rehab again.
@highwastedgenes it is possible so if you want recovery then dont give up yet. my adopted sister was days from dying when we got her because of anorexia. now she is married and a healthy weight and happy with food. it dosent scare her anymore
@highwastedgenes Recovery is possible, even though it never feels like it is. If you ever need someone to talk to, message me; I'll try to help. <3 stay strong
Oh no! When she was describing the person that would most likely have anorexia it described me! I noticed that I suck my stomach in all the time. I'm just like Dana .
of victims or real diseased victims have them come in show them what it is to be a vegetable at such a young as much as I may sound like a cold heartless bitch just know I had their problem in my teens n realized how I was hurting myself in the long run it's completely mental n honestly I give a shit I'd rather scare you to death n have u live another day than to have u slip away n mourn u later.
I know America supposedly has gone to hell but from what I can see britain has more severe problems 12yr old anorexics how the hell does that happen seriously I dnt believe this shit is an illness it's completely mental it can become a physical illness later on from damage done to the body it's a mindset a compulsive mind set rising from personal insecurities what these girls need is a wake up call to reality of their situation even if that means scaring them to consciousness show them vids of
What she needs is, 1 1/2 cups raw Rhubarb cut fine 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 egg 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1 cup applesauce 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. soda 1 tsp. vanilla 2 cups flourProcedure: In large mixing bowl cream sugars and butter, add egg and salt. Stir in applesauce, soda, vanilla, and flour. Add rhubarb. Pour in prepared 9x13x2-inch baking pan and sprinkle with 1/4 cup white sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Bake at 375-degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
I always used to think I was the same age as Naomi is, but I actually just realized I would have been 12 in the summer of 2006, same as Briony and Natasha. My eating disorder started the fall of 2006, so around the time they were being let out of Rhodes farm and everything.
i know mental illness are serious, cause i have one ( ocd)
but don't you think a house with no mirror available is good for Anorexic sufferer?? and BTW do anti-depression work with anorexic patients ?? anyone???
i wonder how all the girls are now. natasha or naomi. Bryony fautured on Dana the 8 yr old anorexic and was still recovered then, but I wonder about the other two.
"people at school already said i was skinny... but i wanted to see it for myself.. so i stopped eating.... and you still don't see it" this is so freaking true!
Whoever is interested about the real cause of anorexia should really check out psychoanalyst Lacan’s theory about it. Anorexia isn’t about wanting to be thin and pretty, it’s not about fear of growing up or the media effects at all, it’s about putting a limit to mothers or whoever plays the mother role. Anorexic’s mothers are so peculiar in different ways. They eat their kids metaphorically and so anorexia is the only way to put a stop to that.
@isabel042085 I disagree. I suffer from Anorexia and my mother isn't really even in my life, and she is very loving when I do see her.. Eating Disorders are different for every individual.
@AProtestToThinToRead You’re right; Eating Disorders are different for every person. I’m a psychoanalyst and I work at a clinic for people who suffer from an E.D. I too suffered from anorexia, and this theory seemed absurd at first but over the years I’ve seen it to prove itself right. A person doesn’t need to be physically with you to be in your life and in some cases it’s not the biological mother but the person who plays that role and in most cases the mother is loving, sometimes too loving.
Porridge has way more that 46kcal. That's like 1/2 an ounce of porridge oats mixed with pure water. Of course, it's probably better I don't tell her that....
@nadunadi I know exactly how you feel me and my friends where do worried about my friend that we actually told her mom she was acting weird and not her self dont leave it too late <3
@jafas115 I stone is roughly about 14 pounds. A lot of times people reffer to their weight in stones because the # is smaller, to say you weigh 9 stone instead of 128 pounds. Plus most anorexia documentarys are done in teh UK(hence their acent), and they use stones for body weight. I'm not shure the language, it might be spanish? If I'm wrong someone please correct me. :)
having anorexia is the worst thing!, never is good enough and never you're skinny... I'm tryiong to let it go... to not think about it... BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.... 4 YEARS... 4!
@unikwale also on a starvation diet, you lose muscle along with the fat, so no matter how thin you go there's always a bit of you that sags.... That just fuels the disorder further

I have no sympathy for these girls, they stop eating out of vanity not because of lack of resources, how could you possibly feel for them. It just tells you what they think of fat people, scum of the earth. It disgusting, let them die.
@papertreegun you are very obviously close minded . If it were that simple then why do so many people die from this . It's a mental illness , not a life choice !
@Sophiewdi (: yeah the close mindedness of some poeple blows me away ! My friend is literally dying from the diesease , and I am myself recovered , so it's painful to hear such ridiculous opinions . I feel asthough if someone has been affected by anorexia , either dierctly or indierctly , their opinon would be very very different . When you watch someone , or yourself , fade away before your eyes , you realise that anorexia is bigger than a want to be thin .
@Jesscukable You people are really annoying....everything nowadays is not a choice and totally out of our control...yea right. LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICES. They are somethings we cannot control I agree however behavior is something we all can control, unless we are born with a mental defect. This anorexia "disease" is a learned behavior therefore it can be controlled.
@papertreegun Have YOU ever been anorexic ? ever lost anyone to anorexia ? Do you believe personality disorder , or depression can be controlled ?! People who have anorexia have a predisposition for it , so therefore , mentally there is something that triggers it . Its a compulsion , and obsession , and could be easily related to an addiction of sorts . .
@Jesscukable Where are you getting all this from? They have a predisposition for anorexia? How do you know their genetic background? And plz tell why its often a group of friends that starve themselves to fit into a bikini for spreak break and not people from the same family. Sounds like a cultural thing to me, something people see others doing and decide to imitate them. If you are brought up in a culture where body image wasnt the centre of your universe then I know these things wont happen.
@papertreegun - You do not understand what you're trying to argue because you do not have the education or the experience. I can tell by your comments. Anorexia is a SYMPTOM of a genetic disposition. There is research being done that may show that those who have these obsessive illnesses may be on the autistic spectrum. They are certainly on an OCD spectrum. You really need to learn because I've studied for years and it would take too long to explain it to someone who hasn't an idea.
@papertreegun genes aren't always expressed but can still be present e.g. 2 people brown hair/brown eyes can have children with brown hair/brown eyes & potentialy have 1 with blue eyes/red hair despite no red hair/blue eyed parents. As for socialy its rare to get a group that becomes anorexic together however, its been shown similar genetics like to group together, same with intelligence, anorexics are generally above normal intelligence. Intelligence is heavily influenced by genetics
@papertreegun How can a child , who is hearing a voice in their head that is essentially controlling their everymove , block the voice out ? Its sooo much more than not eating , and maybe one day , you may find out the hard way of what this disease does , it ruins lives . If it is sooo easily controlled then why do people continue relapsing for decades ? there sooo much more to it than vanity , grow up . YOU should try being harrassed by your own mind . see how you like it .
@Jesscukable What are you talking about, what other voice in your head is there except for your own? Again you people are blaming a third party for your own actions. Sigh listen for anoxerics the emotional pain of looking fat and feeling disgusting is much worse than the pain accompanied by starving yourself to achieve a small slender frame.What these people lack is basic self control, they give into every impulse, they are very sensitive to what others think.Again thisis cultural programming.
@papertreegun The other voice is basically your conscience. Like when you do something wrong/bad and there's a niggling voice in your head telling you that you're stupid/bad. And people with anorexia clearly have a lot of self control - try going for days, sometimes weeks without eating/drinking anything but water.
@papertreegun - That "other voice" is the "chatter" of everything you've heard that tells you, you are somehow "wrong." You have it too! Everytime you hear criticisms. Everytime you're bullied. Everytime you hear the words of so-called "authority," the church, your parents, anything that is not your inner voice. That is why people meditate. To clear out that chatter put there by others. It may be a bit more than you are ready to understand but when you get older, you may learn.
@papertreegun I completely disagree with you. This is an illness, thats like saying people with cancer should just die. Its not right! Whether is mental or physcial its still an illness.
@papertreegun That really hurts my feelings. and I don't even have an eating disorder. I'm sorry you feel so bad about yourself that you have to hurt other people to make yourself feel better. I hope you find value in yourself, as much value as these precious girls have.
@papertreegun People like you should, just once in their life, get a mental disease to know what it feels like. No one choses to be anorectic or depressive. Eating disorders have nothing to do with vanity. You have no idea how hard it is to fight such a disease. You don't want to hear that eating disorders (just like, for example, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression or disposition to addictions) are a genetic issue, and insult people that try to explain that. I feel sorry for you.

Dr. Dick (and much of society) correctly believe that thin is beautiful. You see, a fat girl just isn't attractive. Deny it all you like but deep down your thin self is begging for you to listen.
It's up to you whether you take that most lovely path to Ana, or to the chubby McChicken sandwich of obesity land USA.
@threestrikes101 It took me a while to figure it out too! It says "2st 2lbs" as in "2 st 2 lbs(pounds)" There just should be a space between the 2 and the L because the lowecase L looks like a 1. I feel ya ! It took me forever to figure it out :P
thinspiration. =) i wish they wouldnt make them eat, theyr so nasty, they dnt understand them grow ups, anorexia is the only friend x thanks for this vid i love it x x x x x x x x x x
@anamiaanaangel Im sure I could be a better friend than ANA. Talk to me if you want to. I am here and I want you to value your life :) Because it is very very Valuable!
i'm a 17 year old girl and im in a adolescent mental health hospital for anorexia and its made me so much worse. i cant wait till in 18 and they will leave me alone. its so easy to fool them into thinking your okay and just eating the meals but then throwing up in your room or walking continuously in your bedroom. i hate my anorexia but i love it so much its all i have
@skinnybehaviour - You say it is "all you have." Ask yourself "why" it is all you believe you have. I am old. You are depressed and when a person is depressed they stay in a spiral of downward thoughts. You are turning your anger on yourself because somewhere along the way, you've been taught to repress who you are. I'll let you in on something. YOU choose what you want in your life. YOU have complete control over your thoughts. You either live life whilst you're here or you waste it.
Wow Im not anorexic, But I was anorexic when I was 10, I am now 16, last year I was at my heaviest, 5'5 145 pounds. This year I am 5'6 135 pounds about. I hope Im not starting to lapse back into Anorexia.. My Grandma always compliments my skinnyness (She says Oh you look thin, like you use to be) . and I count calories on EVERYTHING. And thing about what i will eat the next day.... I hope Im not relapsing :S
@Spooker007 I honestly feel exactly how you feel. I have a lot of anorexic thought and behaviors. It got really bad when i was about 15, but i started getting better. But every day is a constant struggle for me with food. If i eat anything that is considered bad i feel incredibly guilty about it. I walk a lot on campus. Relapsing is very scary.
This place is horrible. Those people have no idea what they're doing. Letting the girls see their weights is aweful. And their breakfast was tiny. When I was in treatment we would never be allowed to see our weight because it made it so much harder to eat. I can't possibly list all the things wrong with this place.
Maddie was abducted May 3rd 2007 in Portugal.She is just seven years old. Please if you have any information call +44 845 838 4699 now. Go to my youtube channel for pictures and more info.
you poor kids, my heart goes out for you, im 33 and 5ft 2 i always was plump (chubby) when i stop eating my mom and dad would have such a nice sit down with me encouraging me talking about that what i have, i never went anorexic and never went skinny im still chubby we all have our special features. you will be in my prayers every day.
wow natasha could be me. I'm 13, been diognosed with anorexia 3 weeks ago and weigh 5 st 5 lbs. i feel exactly the same as how she feels. it is so hard batteling :(
@TheWhispa16 I've got ednos.What is your height?It's always so confusing cuz one moment you want it and the next you absolutely hate it.But you can't get rid of it.
@edxxlovexx i'm 5 ft 1, i'm trying to eat more and everytime i gain a pound i'm happy but i'm sad. it is very confusing but i don't think anyone especially not anorexics themselves can explain it. its a person taking over you and what started off as control turned into the food controling you.
I feel like they would be less likely to relapse into their anorexia if they were allowed to maintain their weights, but not gain wight. like get them to a higher weight, but not so much,
@RebiTitanic It's complicated though. They wouldn't make them gain loads of weight just for the sake of it. Being underweight alters the way your brain works so that actually, although anorexics think they'll feel disgusting at their target weights, they're not only happier but they also care less about being thin when they get there. That's what my consultant said and it worked for me.
@missgracegallagher well at the rehab place i was looking at, just seeing their methods, they said it would be gradual, but then again ive never had full-blown anorexia
@RebiTitanic They don't just randomly choose a weight, the target weight is determined by the age and height of the child, so they are able to get there periods back and there body to work ect.. They don't end up coming out of the clinic big at all, sometimes they still look rather small. The after care from rhodes farm is also very helpful, and makes it very hard for the child to not maintain there weight. Trust me, been there dont it!
I never realized how much watching these videos can help me. I've been in remission from anorexia for about six months now. yes, i say "remission", because this is a disease much like cancer. It can never totally be cured.

Man it's bullshit, these girls are a healthy, attractive weight and their only eating "disorder" was being fat before they became anorexic. The 13 year old girl who has been their 5 months is fat herself and I think she just doesn't want to face the real world, where everyone will see her for the whale she is.
@k0kidd You are obviously incredibly fat - as it is only fat people who call people who are underweight fat. I hope that you have fun being an ugly, sefl absorbed person.
Love the Sigur Ros music, what a heartbreaking documentary, yet so important and educating for everyone. Thank you so much for posting, really appreciate it!
Hi s0mevids, Ive been at Huntercombe in Edinburgh. I was there twice in 2007. Its was crappy at the time but when I think about it now they saved my life.
A stone is what, 14 lbs? so seven stone is 98lbs. I didn't weigh 100lbs until I was 13, give her a break! Kids are fat these days anyway. Ever think that maybe she is just thin and there's nothing wrong with that? It's all their pressure on her that's making her paranoid about her weight.
I understand this. I'm overweight, but there was a point where I weighed 70 lbs less than I do now, but I still saw what I see NOW in the mirror. Sometimes your mind just cant comprehend or see the changes.
Anyone know where Natasha is now? Does she still suffer from an eating disorder?

Whoever is interested about the real cause of anorexia should really check out psychoanalyst Lacan’s theory about it. Anorexia isn’t about wanting to be thin and pretty, it’s not about fear of growing up or the media effects at all, it’s about putting a limit to mothers or whoever plays the mother role. Anorexic’s mothers are so peculiar in different ways. They eat their kids metaphorically and so anorexia is the only way to put a stop to that.

@isabel042085 I disagree. I suffer from Anorexia and my mother isn't really even in my life, and she is very loving when I do see her.. Eating Disorders are different for every individual.

@AProtestToThinToRead You’re right; Eating Disorders are different for every person. I’m a psychoanalyst and I work at a clinic for people who suffer from an E.D. I too suffered from anorexia, and this theory seemed absurd at first but over the years I’ve seen it to prove itself right. A person doesn’t need to be physically with you to be in your life and in some cases it’s not the biological mother but the person who plays that role and in most cases the mother is loving, sometimes too loving.

Plus most anorexia documentarys are done in teh UK(hence their acent), and they use stones for body weight. I'm not shure the language, it might be spanish? If I'm wrong someone please correct me. :)

@Jesscukable You people are really annoying....everything nowadays is not a choice and totally out of our control...yea right. LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICES. They are somethings we cannot control I agree however behavior is something we all can control, unless we are born with a mental defect. This anorexia "disease" is a learned behavior therefore it can be controlled.
papertreegun 11 months ago
@papertreegun Have YOU ever been anorexic ? ever lost anyone to anorexia ? Do you believe personality disorder , or depression can be controlled ?! People who have anorexia have a predisposition for it , so therefore , mentally there is something that triggers it . Its a compulsion , and obsession , and could be easily related to an addiction of sorts . .
Jesscukable 11 months ago 52
@Jesscukable Where are you getting all this from? They have a predisposition for anorexia? How do you know their genetic background? And plz tell why its often a group of friends that starve themselves to fit into a bikini for spreak break and not people from the same family. Sounds like a cultural thing to me, something people see others doing and decide to imitate them. If you are brought up in a culture where body image wasnt the centre of your universe then I know these things wont happen.
papertreegun 11 months ago
@papertreegun - You do not understand what you're trying to argue because you do not have the education or the experience. I can tell by your comments. Anorexia is a SYMPTOM of a genetic disposition. There is research being done that may show that those who have these obsessive illnesses may be on the autistic spectrum. They are certainly on an OCD spectrum. You really need to learn because I've studied for years and it would take too long to explain it to someone who hasn't an idea.
FredericaBimble 9 months ago
@papertreegun genes aren't always expressed but can still be present e.g. 2 people brown hair/brown eyes can have children with brown hair/brown eyes & potentialy have 1 with blue eyes/red hair despite no red hair/blue eyed parents. As for socialy its rare to get a group that becomes anorexic together however, its been shown similar genetics like to group together, same with intelligence, anorexics are generally above normal intelligence. Intelligence is heavily influenced by genetics

@papertreegun How can a child , who is hearing a voice in their head that is essentially controlling their everymove , block the voice out ? Its sooo much more than not eating , and maybe one day , you may find out the hard way of what this disease does , it ruins lives . If it is sooo easily controlled then why do people continue relapsing for decades ? there sooo much more to it than vanity , grow up . YOU should try being harrassed by your own mind . see how you like it .
Jesscukable 11 months ago
@Jesscukable What are you talking about, what other voice in your head is there except for your own? Again you people are blaming a third party for your own actions. Sigh listen for anoxerics the emotional pain of looking fat and feeling disgusting is much worse than the pain accompanied by starving yourself to achieve a small slender frame.What these people lack is basic self control, they give into every impulse, they are very sensitive to what others think.Again thisis cultural programming.
papertreegun 11 months ago
@papertreegun The other voice is basically your conscience. Like when you do something wrong/bad and there's a niggling voice in your head telling you that you're stupid/bad. And people with anorexia clearly have a lot of self control - try going for days, sometimes weeks without eating/drinking anything but water.
sugarandhairspray 10 months ago
@papertreegun - That "other voice" is the "chatter" of everything you've heard that tells you, you are somehow "wrong." You have it too! Everytime you hear criticisms. Everytime you're bullied. Everytime you hear the words of so-called "authority," the church, your parents, anything that is not your inner voice. That is why people meditate. To clear out that chatter put there by others. It may be a bit more than you are ready to understand but when you get older, you may learn.

Singing4Him4ever 11 months ago
@papertreegun People like you should, just once in their life, get a mental disease to know what it feels like. No one choses to be anorectic or depressive. Eating disorders have nothing to do with vanity. You have no idea how hard it is to fight such a disease. You don't want to hear that eating disorders (just like, for example, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression or disposition to addictions) are a genetic issue, and insult people that try to explain that. I feel sorry for you.

@skinnybehaviour - You say it is "all you have." Ask yourself "why" it is all you believe you have. I am old. You are depressed and when a person is depressed they stay in a spiral of downward thoughts. You are turning your anger on yourself because somewhere along the way, you've been taught to repress who you are. I'll let you in on something. YOU choose what you want in your life. YOU have complete control over your thoughts. You either live life whilst you're here or you waste it.

RebiTitanic 1 year ago
@RebiTitanic It's complicated though. They wouldn't make them gain loads of weight just for the sake of it. Being underweight alters the way your brain works so that actually, although anorexics think they'll feel disgusting at their target weights, they're not only happier but they also care less about being thin when they get there. That's what my consultant said and it worked for me.

RebiTitanic 1 year ago
@RebiTitanic They don't just randomly choose a weight, the target weight is determined by the age and height of the child, so they are able to get there periods back and there body to work ect.. They don't end up coming out of the clinic big at all, sometimes they still look rather small. The after care from rhodes farm is also very helpful, and makes it very hard for the child to not maintain there weight. Trust me, been there dont it!
