She really needs to start eating because she doesn't look good at all like that she looks so sick. Why can't she just eat in the first place? Starving herself like that is going to make it worse she's already skinny so she doesn't need to do that if I where her I would Jud
@topnotchmaiden no she's naturally skinny and then in the beginning they just gave her unflattering clothing that would make her look bulky, and they just gave her sunken in eyes and cheeks with makeup to make her look super skinny.
Stop saying she doesnt look "anorexic enough" you assholes!only cause the media shows anorexics on terminal stage doesnt mean she is not having an eating disorder or is not underweight!besides anorexia or bulimia are more a mental illness than anything.
what scares me is the fact that on the recovery, in only ONE MEAL (and they have 5 meals a day) it's 400 kcal, so the whole day is about 2000 kcal - terribly too much for girls who had eaten like 100 calories a day before recovery. in general, those kinds of treatments are terrible. i had anorexia and they FORCED me to eat butter or milk. this way, they'll never cure from ana. in fact ana is uncurable by itself, even if you'd back to normal weight, it'll be with you to the rest of your life.
She's not even that dangerously thin (looking). Yeah I know, you can't ask an actress to completely starve herself, it's morally wrong. But, when I had a BMI of 14 I sure as hell didn't look like this. They only made her look pale, she's normal weight. Kinda makes me feel bad for myself lol
Phoebe's goal sounds like cognitive behavioral therapy. I could use some too, but not with food. I no longer have an eating disorder; but I have a very pervasive problem which would probably need some desensitization therapy to overcome it.
@PaintbrushBristles She cared, but jen is sick too. In her head, she was helping lext. she was making her lovely. It's hard to understand unless you've actually been there.
@sexya863254 The thing is, although Jen did do that, she later on turns against Lexi after Lexi was worried about Jen's bulima enough to discuss it with her mother not realizing Katharine would feel the need to discuss it with Pamela. After that, Jen drops Lexi as a friend probably feeling she ratted her out. Jen may have thought back to where she chose not to have the photos taken and became resentful toward Lexi also because of that
@xxxfantasyhorse Yeah, you're right. It's hard to make a movie about an anorexic girl without an anorexic actress. But it's not like they could actually use a girl with an eating disorder, it would be wrong.
@candiedlilac watch "For the Love of Nancy." Tracy Gold made that movie while she was still in recovery. way more realistic. It's not a big deal. I'm just saying it doesn't look like she's really that skinny.
I was bulimic and the same thing happened, I coughed up blood. It is not worth harming yourself to lose weight. I cringe when I think about all the crazy dieting I did, and I was already skinny to begin with.
You want to know something interesting? 3:01 The exterior shot of the hospital that Lexi was brought to is used in Katie Wright's second Moment of Truth movie "Abduction of Innocence".
The whole stand on the scale backwards thing is BULLSHIT. The amount of times i've been assessed for eating disorders and i've seen my weight and got MAJORLY triggered, therefore causing me into a massive relapse and not going to psych appointments...
That trick mirror thing is all a lie this movie is out dated I had anorexia and I saw my self as others saw myself but I felt fat I say a girl who would waist away at any second I saw my ribs and my spin and that made me happy
Too much emphasis is put on females & their weight. I've been skinny all my life, & today, in my 40's, after giving birth twice, my weight is 105lbs & I stand at 5'6" tall. I also eat what I want, when I want, & I have NO eating disorder, & never have. For me, it's genetic, coming from a thin family, plus I have a fast metabolism. Some may think I have an ED, but I don't; therefore, they shouldn't rush to pass judgment. There are naturally thin people in this world!
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. Lexi looks so skinny its scary. 94 pounds is like 43 kilos, that's pretty normal. i think she looks lighter than that. Of course if shes above 5"5, then 94 pounds IS seriously underweight.
Problem with Lexi is that she isn't ugly BUT she tries to make herself look ugly, wearing make up, fixing that hair and maybe the right clothes would have made the difference.
Look at a picture of starving females. You can find some via some of those charities that keep popping up. Look at pictures of FAT women. Then look at pictures of STRONG women like olympic athletes. Which do you wanna be? Weak and starving, fat, or STRONG? Women that work out EAT...not junk to gain fat but meat, fruit, vegetables to get STRONG. Do you REALLY think any of those olympic athletes cant get a date? Do you want to be thin, or strong?
aaaagghh i hate seeing this..this really is an illness...cause eating doesn't mean getting fat, it's about what u eat, with no exercise at all. cause when u play sports, u have to eat alot for ur system to function well... *seeing this is heartbreaking*...!!!
cheesy movie!! a bit unrealistic.. been bulimic for 7 years, never spit blood and never passed out!! she's been eatingdisordered only for months!! i do like the movie.. dont get me wrong!!
@summerontyone - I hope that you're referring to Jen being easy going as a friend and *not* wanting to find a pro-anorexia friend :) For anyone, the National Eating Disorders Association should have information and resources for those with any type of disordered eating.
There is just no way I could eat all that food on that tray in one sitting - probably not even in an entire day. I usually eat once a day (late at night b4 bed so my body keeps most of it cuz' I'm inactive) but if I skip a day, I don't punish myself. These people have unrealistic expectations. A girl who survives on a cracker & some carrot sticks doesn't have a belly big enuff to eat like that. (I'm more the Jen type - I maintain my weight, not starve into a skeleton. But I don't puke.)
I think that even though both girls are doing the starve / binge / purge routine, Jen has a better sense of self and doesn't go to the extreme like Lexie does. Lexie just didn't know when to stop or couldn't stop... I can't beileve how PALE she is!!!
@KDVx3 Remember that Jen has probably been doing this for a lot longer than Lexi, and therefore can live with it without showing signs. Lexi hasn't been taught how to 'live' with this without Jen so she makes it up as she goes along. I've been in this situation where my friend and I would both go home and binge and purge but pretend we hadn't, and starve when we were together. I will be making a video on this period of my life soon, actually.
"once she's got physicaly better, she'll regain the mental focus to do the real work"
SOOOOO not true! if an anorexic is made a healthy weight again without their mental state changing, they'll get worse because they've 'put on weight'..
You know what I hate? Hospitals set anorexics up for relapse by feeding them enormous meals that NO ONE eats every day as a 'healthy'/'regular' meal. Total bullshit.
@arm070 no, it's deceptive how many calories there are. Let's say; an apple: 50 calories, sugar-free gum is usually around 8 calories a piece, salad - let's say a small bowl with no dressing - 100-140, low-fat yoghurt - 140-170.
Hahahaha, my mom weighs 94lb. But she eats three meals a day, and she has kit kat bars and 3 musketeers as snacks. She is 5'1, and no she does not throw up. When I hug her, my arms go around her 1 1/2 times. She got sick when she was in her 30s and never gained back the weight. She is now 51.
wow. seriously people?! anorexia is a disease! so is bulimia! don't even try saying that this movie is stupid. they weren't able to actually starve the actors! so shut up! they did what they could w/ what they had back in the 90s! i have a friend w/ bulimia! so i KNOW how things are for her! i really don't care how bad of acting or anything like that- this is an OLD movie! don't expect it to be like something they could do now!
thats really bad acting , really bad script... they dont hold you down like that while you are WIDE awake to do that especially if you are struggling at least not in the last 20 years or so cmon
I'm 20, almost 21, and I weigh in at 133. I used to always feel like I was huge, and I wouldn't eat for a while. But I couldn't NOT eat, it made me lose my temper and I was angry at everybody. I decided to start a regular exercise routine, I'd go walking with friends or we'd ride our bikes on the parkway here in my town. I started feeling better about myself. It breaks my heart to know that sometimes girls don't feel beautiful just the way they are :(
Tracey Gold and Jennifer Jason Leigh are probably the only ones who pulled off an actual anorexic appearance in a movie.
Jennifer Jason Leigh was medically supervised when she dropped to 86 pounds for her role in The Best Little Girl in the World.
While filming For the Love of Nancy, Tracey Gold spent time in recovery after a long battle with anorexia. Ironically as a child, Tracey became obsessed with weight loss from watching Jennifer Leigh's movie. :/
2:37 When Lexi collapsed, her foot slightly moved forward as if she moved it herself after she hit the floor (same thing with her arm). Anyone else notice that?
Obviously, it is acting, but when someone faints like that, their body usually doesn't move voluntarily.
Jen's mainly Bulimic, many Bulimics can stay at a normal weight or be a little heaver and you wouldn't know! it doesen't make it any non dangerous then Anorexia.
that fat little sister is the MOST annoying character!!! eww... not that i love the anorexic girls... but that girl eats like a cow and blah blah OMG she makes me feel like i wanna punch her face!
these gurls are so stupid there arent even fat. they can kill them selves doing this. this movie makes me feel sick lik on my stomach. i will never do any thing like this
I think it is all a self esteem thing really. Jen was concerned about being fat but she wasnt a mess like lexi cause she still thought she was attractive.
this is really a serious disease of the mind. 1 way it shows is in the way this girl thinks about food and eating. the nutritionist asked about what she ATE. lexi says tea, water, cracker, a pickle....i mean that's not eating in our family. we are africans and if i say i had what lexi had, no one would think i ATE anything. chewing gum in NOT EATING! this girl has a serious problem. then again the way americans view food is a problem too.
@Brittzie4806 But even though You eat when your bulimic the constent vomiting or laxitive abuse can deplete your body of Nutrients and minerals, as well as errode the enemal off your teeth.
@Mom2William Because bolemics can maintain their steady weight unlike anorexics. Jen eats but she throws it up. Plus she's wearing a lot more make-up.
@Mom2William-as anulik has pointed out, anorexia and bulemia aren't the same disease. The symptoms can overlap, but Jen didn't starve herself to the extent that Lexi did.
@Mom2William some people are affecting differently then others. even in real life not just the movie. just like some girls lose a lot of weight and other girls do not.
@Mom2William Because she has bulimia. Bulimia's weight fluxuates so they don't loose as much as anorexics because what they eat are absorbing the calories, but throw them back up. So they tend to lose weight but maintain a regular weight at most points because of this. If you understand.
@Mom2William Jen is bullimic, which means she loses weight slower. She generally eats more, but purges it. Also, she lost weight slower as we can assume she started long before Lexi.
Lexi dieted in an extreme way over a short space of time, eating pretty much nothing.
Aside from this, every person's body is unique. one person could survive off an apple a day, when another would need 3 regular meals.
@Mom2William i think its because jen eats sometimes and then throws up while lexi hardly eats and also throws up. Throwing up doesn't get rid of all calories and nutrients.
She really needs to start eating because she doesn't look good at all like that she looks so sick. Why can't she just eat in the first place? Starving herself like that is going to make it worse she's already skinny so she doesn't need to do that if I where her I would Jud

It's those ill-fitting, baggy, 90's clothes that make her look fat. If she had some trendy 2011 wardrobe she would love the way she looked.

@Miyaku10 the 2011 fashion basically consists of 80's clothes. It's called vintage.

wow. seriously people?! anorexia is a disease! so is bulimia! don't even try saying that this movie is stupid. they weren't able to actually starve the actors! so shut up! they did what they could w/ what they had back in the 90s! i have a friend w/ bulimia! so i KNOW how things are for her! i really don't care how bad of acting or anything like that- this is an OLD movie! don't expect it to be like something they could do now!

I'm 20, almost 21, and I weigh in at 133. I used to always feel like I was huge, and I wouldn't eat for a while. But I couldn't NOT eat, it made me lose my temper and I was angry at everybody. I decided to start a regular exercise routine, I'd go walking with friends or we'd ride our bikes on the parkway here in my town. I started feeling better about myself. It breaks my heart to know that sometimes girls don't feel beautiful just the way they are :(

Tracey Gold and Jennifer Jason Leigh are probably the only ones who pulled off an actual anorexic appearance in a movie.
Jennifer Jason Leigh was medically supervised when she dropped to 86 pounds for her role in The Best Little Girl in the World.
While filming For the Love of Nancy, Tracey Gold spent time in recovery after a long battle with anorexia. Ironically as a child, Tracey became obsessed with weight loss from watching Jennifer Leigh's movie. :/

2:37 When Lexi collapsed, her foot slightly moved forward as if she moved it herself after she hit the floor (same thing with her arm). Anyone else notice that?
Obviously, it is acting, but when someone faints like that, their body usually doesn't move voluntarily.

Jen's mainly Bulimic, many Bulimics can stay at a normal weight or be a little heaver and you wouldn't know! it doesen't make it any non dangerous then Anorexia.

I think it is all a self esteem thing really. Jen was concerned about being fat but she wasnt a mess like lexi cause she still thought she was attractive.
RayeDrgn 9 months ago
this is really a serious disease of the mind. 1 way it shows is in the way this girl thinks about food and eating. the nutritionist asked about what she ATE. lexi says tea, water, cracker, a pickle....i mean that's not eating in our family. we are africans and if i say i had what lexi had, no one would think i ATE anything. chewing gum in NOT EATING! this girl has a serious problem. then again the way americans view food is a problem too.

@Mom2William Jen is balemic (spelling) which you still get nutrients from foods without completly starving yourself.

@Mom2William i think it's because she has more experience hiding, what she does. but i agree with u its really weird!
MissBettyBoop98 8 months ago
@Mom2William Because bolemics can maintain their steady weight unlike anorexics. Jen eats but she throws it up. Plus she's wearing a lot more make-up.
Anulik96 8 months ago
@Mom2William-as anulik has pointed out, anorexia and bulemia aren't the same disease. The symptoms can overlap, but Jen didn't starve herself to the extent that Lexi did.

@Mom2William some people are affecting differently then others. even in real life not just the movie. just like some girls lose a lot of weight and other girls do not.
RainyBeloved 8 months ago
@Mom2William because she puts a 1k lbs of makeup on
firefwi 8 months ago
@Mom2William Because she has bulimia. Bulimia's weight fluxuates so they don't loose as much as anorexics because what they eat are absorbing the calories, but throw them back up. So they tend to lose weight but maintain a regular weight at most points because of this. If you understand.
Starveyourfat 7 months ago
@Mom2William lexi is anorexic. jen is bulimic. bulimics can usually maintain a normal weight while anorexics do not.
arm070 7 months ago
@Mom2William Jen is bullimic, which means she loses weight slower. She generally eats more, but purges it. Also, she lost weight slower as we can assume she started long before Lexi.
Lexi dieted in an extreme way over a short space of time, eating pretty much nothing.
Aside from this, every person's body is unique. one person could survive off an apple a day, when another would need 3 regular meals.
kiitty99 7 months ago 5
@Mom2William i think its because jen eats sometimes and then throws up while lexi hardly eats and also throws up. Throwing up doesn't get rid of all calories and nutrients.
