BBC's Desperately Hungry Housewives part 1

[Dana5038]

This bitch sound so damn stupid... white's are my good foods and Black's are my bad foods-what the Fuck lady? mental illness or not she know what the fuck she's doing to her self...

[DragonePhyra]

@Dana5038 Go. Read. Get enlightened. Then STFU.

[llaslah]

I love that more people are talking about the house decor than the women themselves :')

[29Essan]

i cant stop eating  :(

[odd0odium]

What a beautiful house. Dream house indeed.

[GEhotpants101]

Dude! Her bathroom has an engaged/open thing on it!

That is the neatest fucking thing I've ever seen on a bathroom door.

[CourtneyJadeex]

2:17 That is a fucken gorgeous dresser.

[eagle99942]

you know I have had issues with my eating for a while; but not as nearly as bad as what most people go through. but with that said the little I did go through was bad enough to have a feeling of emptiness inside (the kind you don't want) cause I missed so munch.

[herrohxx]

seeing these older women with eating disorders makes me give up all hope of getting better.

[ThePhoebsy]

@herrohxx awwh, why?:( you should still try and get better, I'll try too:] x

[sillykali456]

That house is amazing.. it's so english? haha i don't know! but it's so much cooler than mine. all these little cute things. DID YOU SEE THE OVEN? so different from mine ha

[sillykali456]

The UK always has ED documentaries and stuff.. I find that a little creepy especially because their voice is like so dramatic in these

[username9756]

4:47 - totally irrelevant but Justin Bieber's hair looks like that XD But I guess lots of people did before him... Don't mind me lol.

[Madagasmask]

At 0:27 on the right side when the lady is talking in her lovely old home in the cotswolds there are a lot of orb like shapes shooting across the screen! Could be dust, but it amused me for five minutes watching them.

[lilnastiaaa]

carrot? wtf!?

[mlwish]

its funny, her safe food is one of my unsafe foods

[nobolettu]

@mlwish how come? i'd consider them quite safe, except the porridge. :o what's your safe foods are then?

[mlwish]

@nobolettu I guess that was the food I focused on, because rewatching it I actually think her safe foods are ok

[DaisySaoud]

Zoey is fucking cute!

[lamoEmo100]

He totally looks like colin firth

[eden260397]

who cooks porridge in an oven?!!

[OpenforSexerotica]

@eden260397 lol.

[FromThe3PointLine]

Zoey has a prettyneck

[wasupimalyse]

@JaydensMama19 story of my life :(

[kaykid2]

what is 6 stone?

every eating disorder docu. on youtube is british :P

[Rachaellouisexo]

@kaykid2 Its about 90 pounds :) x

[kaykid2]

@Rachaellouisexo Thank you :)

[gibbseyo]

@kaykid2 84 pounds ... theres 14 pounds in a stone

[xxRho]

@kaykid2 84lb or 38kg

[fushadragon]

That oatmeat looks nasty i would rather have the bi carrot

[RicePudden]

OMG She calls BAD food BLACK because its black the color seems like darker and not good, and she calls GOOD food WHITE because white seems good and pure..

[Jaydensmama19]

I know what she is talking about when she says "never again" after purging. i am bulimic and each time i tell myself, "this is the last time. never again" and each time, i do it again. Its a vicious cycle i wish no one ever had to encounter.

[annawee3]

carrots are orange. 

[310socalifornia]

Weird. 54 years old and still not over it. She also looks much older.

[sabriglevi]

@scopedout2 stupidest comment ever. It's a disease. It's not a fashion statement. It would help you to step out of your judgment and learn a thing or two.

[JesusGodHolySpirit3]

What does six stone mean? I live in USA Veggies are soo good for you o.O what is wrong here?

[latinalightbourn]

@JesusGodHolySpirit3 six stone is 84 lbs.

[GuruPePe33]

her food looks the same goin in as it does comin out

[DerDudeInShanghai]

that's very kind of you, thank you very much

[skaterobban]

she looks like shit

[Irenerz]

i though this documentary was about women who couldn't stop eating. Cause I need help in that department....i love food too much and can't seem to limit myself.

[hyladams]

KITTY SNEEZE! <3 Wow. I am intrigued by Jane's house. From the architecture to the awesome lock on her bathroom door. "ENGAGED" She seems so sweet; being eating disordered with anorexia and bulimia for over a decade myself, I hope she someday manages to find a bit of relief.

[ToxicMonkies]

Why does the UK get all the good shows? -_-

[Aspenfash899]

@ToxicMonkies right they dont have specials like this on tv in america

[nasrinv]

@ToxicMonkies because the UK friggin rocks and is my dream place to settle down if i ever settle down... <3

[thatgirl866]

@ToxicMonkies Are you kidding! America has dance moms!!!!!

[PrincessKLS]

@ToxicMonkies Because America has to pay extra for the premium channels such as HBO and Showtime where the intelligent, American shows are and in Britain they get it as a package. THey aren't as censored over there.

[OwlAntlers]

@ToxicMonkies That's what I think. THey have all the best documentaries! I think it must be because it rains alot there so they need good TV ;)

[68deluxe]

@ToxicMonkies because in the US everything has to be entertaining and larger than life - the UK just tell a story as it is. They seem to understand that dialogue is far more interesting than production..

[faylinameir]

@68deluxe thumbs up to that =)

[ClythiaMystica]

black is bad and white is good.. :)

white powa.

[MsZoeAlexandra]

whats wrong with carrots

[invaderpink]

that is a beautiful bed room

[kaitykaitykaitykaity]

Far out I feel sorry for these people. The thoughts after anorexia/bulima NEVER leave your mind, EVER and it drives you up the wall! It's a never ending battle.

[ashvariety]

i am glad to see that they have this documentary focusing on older women such as myself who struggle, those who are young who are struggling, please get help now before you end up like us who are in our 30s and 40s and still suffer. I would like to see more documentaries on older adult EDs.

[MandiLynn18]

Jane's story is like my nightmare. I just turned 24 and that marked my 10th year of suffering from bulimia. I hope I am able to stop long befre I am 54, but I have a horrible feeling I will end up just like Jane here.

[seven2heaven]

@MandiLynn18

I know how you feel. I turned 23 and it marked 10 years for me. Msg me if you would like to talk.

[razorslipped]

Just because she purges after eating her "black foods" doesn't mean she is bulimic. She is using that word wrongly. Bulimia is when you BINGE and then purge.

[razorslipped]

@razorslipped also, binging isn't just eating over your calorie limit. it is eating thousands of calories within a 2 hour period. many people who restrict think that eating 1200 calories or whatever is a binge when technically that isn't.

[BlakMastachief]

ryleigh13! <3

[supereend666]

wow...

30 years....

that is..

omg

so sad:(

[xoFalseSmilesox]

Hey pause the video and hold down the < key, you can play snake :P

[psshion]

all the anorexia documentaries are british.

[SeeSarahGo]

What's up with the cheery music in the intro? Very bizarre combo.

[dhsarah]

when she says, "Every time I do it, I say to myself afterwards Never again Never again, and then it happens again!" She seems kind of dumbstruck that it happens again. You'd think that living with bulimia for over 30 years, she'd realize it's always going to happen no matter what. I'm just pointing this out because i am the SAME EXACT WAY. this woman and I.....we're so fucking mental.

[chirpz1999]

@dhsarah heh, 25, 10 yrs strong, quit for 6 months max, always pulled back... never again never whatever, if im 'feeling' too much i just wont eat, theres no other way for me, ive purged bubble gum and splooge in my most desperate of times... the never ending guilt has to go somewhere right? as though those starving (unintentionally) will have more food sources, like throwing off the balance of the whole world just adding weight and extra burden... always sorry, like, even for babbling here ; (

[chirpz1999]

@chirpz1999 and the blame game.. it started before i was modeling and to prove i couldnt have something so trivial (as most presume) as my job make me this ill i got so far to the point i was losing jobs left and right for being a walking skeleton, my first big casting for valentino, he told me to 'please eat a cheeseburger'. hahaha and i was albeit demented, proud of this cuz i controlled and created my own rejection...oops ; / are we just modern day martyrs sacrificing our lives for all else?

[denouements]

she used to be so pretty!

she still is, in a different way, but before she was so lovely.

[thebjm1967]

i LOVE jane's house! oh my goodness that is so beautiful. and i love her kitty, too

[acefireburst]

I love the way their houses look over there <3

[rommy143]

Is porridge the same thing as oatmeal?

[laojace]

@rommy143 yeaps in their context, our oatmeal's their porridge (:

[ScopedOUT2]

What they need to do is, send these women to Somalia and have them watch people who are involuntarily starving and how they're dying from it.

Maybe these women think they're fat, but have them say it to the starving children.

[epileptikerergreifun]

@ScopedOUT2

FYI, eating disorders are mental disorders.

and they can be found anywhere,

even in third world countries.

:)



[WitheringChild]

@ScopedOUT2 Eating disorders have nothing to do with logic, and everything to do with guilt. I'm sure you could make them feel bad, they feel bad as it is, but it wouldn't change their feelings. Its incredibly hard to understand; what you know and how you see are conflicting, and it is a very hard battle to alter your perception.

[ceke72]

@ScopedOUT2 When I was actively, entrenched in my eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, I was actually convinced that for me to eat meant I was literally stealing food, that I felt I didn't deserve, from a starving child. For me not to eat meant I was feeding someone else in the world who was hungry. I believed that they would get the food I didn't eat, & it was selfish of me to deny someone the chance to live by eating the food myself. THAT'S how distorted my thinking was.

[nasrinv]

@ScopedOUT2 You have not the slightest clue about ED's do you?

[lamagamorgana]

they were both so cute on their wedding day ♥

[mahound9]

Oh My GOD, SHE'S A FOOD RACIST!

[livingbyaprayer]

LOL!

[lasse88]

Ahh I tought this was about Milfs..ahh :_(

[gsh73la]

@lasse88 Are you a virgin ?

[gaia1214]

An American expat friend tells me that the UK is even more mentally ill about food and weight than we are in the US, if that's even possible. I bet a lot of this stuff goes on in the states; would be interesting to know more about that.

[nasrinv]

okay this is gonna sound very very weird.....but i really like this documentary..... idk why but i watch it every once in awhile over and over again.....thank you for putting it up :)

[icarolinecaroline]

I know there are most serious issues at hand in this, but wow, that is seriously a dream house. Perfect size and look.

[BadLactose]

I have a friend whose obsessive compulsive disorder has been made manageable with medication. I wonder if it'd work for aneroxia/bulima too?

(And on an unrelated note, Jane's house is gorgeous. I want it.)

[melgal7]

white is good, black is bad O_o?

very racist

[KittyLouiseB16]

the dark side is black. white means purity. shes not associating with skin colour >.>

[melgal7]

oh.. that explains it, i didnt get it at first :P

[ToxicMonkies]

@KittyLouiseB16 So the dark side literally does have cookies. O_O

[DracoIsMyWhoreCrux]

@ToxicMonkies lol

[LadyBludgeon]

@ToxicMonkies The dark side has all the good stuff. :P They understand humans better it seem.

[arkhumrox]

relevating it to race is racist in itself

[BridgetPerdue]

@arkhumrox Black and White aren't races, they're colours. Americans made that up. Caucasian and Negroid are the actual terms.

[xXAngelsProphercyXx]

@melgal7 WTF DUDE

[wickedwatwat1]

wow racism through :p

[Neonicypoles]

segregating her food....lol

[englishpunkchick]

I suppose my point of view is a bit different that most here. I"ve never had an eating disorder but my mother has had bulimia my whole life and even when she was pregnant with me. I can't help be really angry with her, but I am aware the conplexities and difficlties she goes thru.

[Ayatron34]

@englishpunkchick

Women with eating disorders shouldn't have babies. Period.

[xThexRoadxIsxLong]

i have no idea what to think here cuz on one hand i know what they are going through iv gone through it to but still i mean if you are a mother nd a wife u should be focusing on your family nd not on yourself

[lavinder11]

Didn't the narrator say the first woman was 54 years old?

And you don't think that the idea of not having a life because you have a family contributes to their disorder?

[turnstoGOLD]

forgetting about yourself is usually what fucks alot of women up in the first place.

if you dont have yourself in order how are you supposed to keep everything else together?

.kandrea..

[TuRdSandwitch18]

these people r retards and they are very ugly! why? bcos all they do is look in the mirror and say oo im so ugly making them incredibly unattractive, i cant stand girls who r insecure it's revolting

[TrishyxLou]

ED doesn't have an age limit, thats what kills me!

[zetlamo]

im 19 i have a 8month im also ana

[marky77]

Great quality, thanks!.

[suhana3479]

she not need a new body but new face

[crazymanthomas1654]

wow. its just like any addiction. it strikes anyone at any age

[Gummy20081234]

Thank you for posting. Many Thanks!

[LaFooFighter]

thank you so much for posting

[xPRINCESShAiLeYx]

Of course cancer was a strain on her. Obviously you have never had a family member with cancer, you should have seen my mother when my brother was sick. Of course the actual person suffers horribly, but the family suffers just as much. The fear and stress is horrible.. An illness doesn't just affect the person but the whole family

[LadyBludgeon]

@xPRINCESShAiLeYx So true. Thank you for your comment. When my sister fell ill from leukemia, I fell into a deep depression. I had to be strong because everyone else in my family were falling apart. I know my sisters' illness was eating her alive but I suffered in the fact that I had to swallow the tears and put on a strong face for everyones' sake. Again great comment and peace to you and those around you.

[DerDudeInShanghai]

@xPRINCESShAiLeYx having an anorexic brother who just was diagnosed with cancer....truer words were never uttered

[xPRINCESShAiLeYx]

@DerDudeInShanghai

I am sorry to hear to that. I wish him all the strength and peace in the world. My brothers cancer unfortunately returned this summer and he passed away. Always remember to let yourself feel what you need to, and If you ever need someone to talk to, please feel free to message me.

[RicePudden]

@xPRINCESShAiLeYx Agree'd!

[gnrqueen]

4:45 so cute!jane looks so pretty x3!

[Marmalady]

i want really get over this. and im just 16 but i feel like i can't enjoy the same things as before i didn't have ed. it sucks.

[CuteLiliGirl]

I know what you mean Marmalady. It really does suck.

[xXpinkpiscesXx]

thanks for posting this!

[ClearUncertainty]

....

i hope i dont end up like them

[taraz1]

why only talk about housewives...there are plenty of working women that struggle also...and other demographics of women...it is tragic in any sense...but it is a myth that this disease only affect affluent women...

[cezzie901]

It's a play on words, taraz1. No-one's debating whether eating disorders affect this group or that. They can affect everyone.

I think this documentary's trying to show that even women who seem to 'have it all' can be hiding something painful.

[morgueparty]

Thank you for making that excellent point.

[serenegreenbean]

They're all so beautiful, it's devastatingly sad. It goes to show how undiscriminative eating disorders are.

[pickasomangoes]

i shouldnt be so hard on them ,most anorexics hve bn sexually abused but suppress memories.really sad.

[safetypin00]

you are wrong. sorry.

[misstiggykins]

A history of sexual abuse actually is more common in women with eating disorders than in women without eating disorders. For some sufferers the disorder helps to suppress memories and emotions. Trauma - which also includes bullying, parental divorce etc. often does trigger the loss of control that people with anorexia nervosa try to correct through their eating disorder. I speak from personal experience...

[safetypin00]

Certainly, sexual abuse is more common in women with eating disorders than the general population. But, statistically - at least the statistics I've seen from journals/studies - it is not most. It is more, but it is not the majority of those with EDs. The disorder numbs the pain, but your memories are still there... this isn't some effed up Freudian-type repressed memory kind of thing which I have yet to see any evidence exists.

[misstiggykins]

I'm not a psychologist, but as someone who does have a history of sexual abuse, I agree: anorexia nervosa didn't repress any of my memories of that abuse. What the illness did was to keep my mind so occupied/numb that I didn't keep thinking about things that had happened to me. When I was forced to reduce/stop my anorexic behaviours in order to recover I did feel plagued by my past again. As my body become larger I feared sexual contact and had flashbacks.

[misstiggykins]

Thanks for uploading... Finally, a good and accuate representation of eating disorders by the media - i.e. that these are genuine mental illnesses that are NOT all about 'body image', celerity culture etc.

The only things I didn't like about this film were the silly title and the rather comical music between interviews.

[tranifer]

Thank you so much for uploading this! :D
