im sick of people always thinking why are they doing it to me. They arent doing it to you. They are doing it to themselves. And it usually starts out because they feel they cant control anything in their lives but they can control that. but then it starts out they cant even control it anymore and it starts controlling them.
@JosieMarieHollenback: you need to get some help. But the thing is. The treatment won't work if you don't want it to. You need to be at the state of mind to want to get better and to actually eat. Believe me I know. I was bulimic. It's a terrible sight to see. Get better :)
@CottonMarbles I think that her parents are going through the stages of grief because they have went through denial then anger. In their mind they know they are losing their daughter to a disease.
@crushcrushcrushme89 Yeah. But it's just so like, rude ... They just need to calm down. Yelling and peeing themselves isn't going to make her disease magically disappear.
I don't understand! She complains she's cold and hurts and its because she's thin? I'm seriously really skinny and I'm not cold, I don't hurt, I never have felt pain because of thinness. It makes me wonder if that is just in movies or something?
@FisherCynge when you're underweight, you get cold more easily. Eating warms you up; she doesn't eat. She has no body fat to keep her warm. And anorexics get pains for no apparent reason, its just a part of it.
Had to watch this in health.....I cut myself under the desk...my boyfriend saw he started crying....and now I'm currently anorexic....thanks health class i was the only one who new about this...everyone stared at me...
CAN SOMEONE PLZ HELP? i have done a lot on research on anorexia but i still don't understand how they dont get hungry? i mean you must get hungry and lack energy and not be able to do stuff? dont they ever get such a crazy pain in their stomach they just need to eat?

do you guys understand one its a movie and two it supposed to be the way parents could and might react if their child has this disease. Im sure any parent would blame themselves even if it has nothing to do with them. They had some part in your up bringing so of course they gonna ask what they did wrong especially when the victim of the disease doesn't let it know.
@Allwaswell934 She just doesn't allow herself to eat it. She wants the food, but she can't eat it. She does the next best thing, and feeds others, and organizes it. She has a compulsion to be around it, she can't help it at all.
@cosmicorinne What was the point of it? It was weird when I saw this, because some of those items were in my pantry, but I never put them ALL out like that. So, I guess I don't understand it. Can you tell me why you did it?
Wow that mom has super-hearing!!! ...I would have passed it off as a bird or snore...and that doctor..super rude! what the hell! "well, she should know she could die!" no shit Sherlock..
If i said "I want it, but i cant.." My mom would be like "Well too bad! *shoves soup down throat*" No, really. She wouldn't just ask "please let me make you soup." ..yeah, my mom's like that. lol. she...doesnt understand the disease
i know this might seem stupid, but why can't they feed her some sort of formula that has food in it and feed it to her while she's like really sleepy and tired and so she doesn't realize theat she is being fed?
@nocturnelle07 because they cant bottle feedher the rest of her life, nancy needs to learn to eat and be okay with it " Not eating is just the symptom of the disease
@KnG1Dakota : her parents are being extremly supportive...did u not see her mom sitting by her bedside, her father went to court to gain custody over her mental/ physical health desicions...you cant support/ love someone to death- they need to take charge of it like they did, and than learn to let go and not control her so much. Its har dnot to get frusterated at someone with an addiction-
@CherryBomb079 what happens is she wants to eat so much (and this really happens) but her disease won't allow her to have any so she admires it and being skinny is a way or control and perfection so she's controlling the food and making it perfect even though she'll never let herself eat any of it
@he3rtbrok3n... the family is too SOFT on her? They're already shouting at her and berating her, as if she's willfully disobeying them and just being stubborn, when what she's doing isn't at all her choice, it's her illness, which she has no control over. And it's not just the mother's fault. The mother was one person who Nancy felt was trying to take her control away, but she wasn't the only factor.
What pisses me off is that no one is listening to what she's saying: "I want to, but I can't". That is crucial with people who suffer from anorexia nervosa. They can no longer control it. They need help figuring out how to control it. People keep trying to shove food down their throats, but it's like the doctor said: the not eating isn't the problem, it's a symptom. They need to help her fix the problem. So very sad...
@mistresswicked69 the movie to me is saying that it doesnt just hurt u it hurts the people around u,so yeah thier going to be yelling why arent u eating.my friend had this and i cried my self to sleep afraid she was going to die in the middle of the night.but yes he doctor was right its not them its the disease that controls u
@mistresswicked69 Thanks for pointing that out. It's not that you don't want to eat; it's that you get to a point where you just can't anymore. I think even my stomach got used to not eating-to the point that it didn't even growl anymore.
@elibeth121 This is true; it's not at all easy to help fix the problem. Sometimes, you can't really fix the problem; sometimes, you just have to learn to cope with it. And that's the hardest thing of all. It becomes something you live with every day, like trying to ignore the elephant sitting in the corner. But it can be done. Some people are doing it, still doing it, every single day. Take that elephant and turn it into a piece of furniture; you can't shake it, but make it work 4 u.
@mistresswicked69 you do not learn to cope with it, you learn to help them in a way that is not going to make them worse. Although, a lot of parents do not know what to say. Anger, is a certain way for them to ease their own tension because they are frustrated. Anorexia and bulimia are curable and it is not for life.
@mybunnyeatsglitter its understandable, nancy is causing them problems, but then agin its the mom's fault, she practically gave anorexia to her daughter....
Karen Carpenter all over again. What can a person do?...
If I were her mother I would have to demand she get help or she has to "move out" She has to start facing the fact that this thing isen't normal and College that I'm paying for and the roof I'm putting over her head will all be taken away If she doesen't get help...that's it!!
@daCrazyWay The counting cans is a way of confronting the thing she seems to fear the most: food. She can look at it, touch it, manipulate it, and even fool the people around her by showing that she isn't afraid of food. It seems silly to us, but to her, it's a source of power in world where she has lost power over everything, even her own body.
I think Nancy is an idiot. She wonders why everyone is angry at her when she flaunts it in their faces. Being all OCD about arranging the cans right in front of her mum was just asking for a fight. How attention seeking.
it was for this reason that i was sent to live with an aunt and uncle - my parents and brother just couldn't deal with the situation. i was also a college freshman who had to leave school for a semester. four years later, i'm healthier and headed to graduate school... but i still fight those same demons. it's a life-long journey.
Those parents must feel so desperate. They want to help their child but they don't know how to do that and she wants them to help her, but can't get herself to eat. Tough situation I think.
@dancingqueen95101 Many anorexics like to cook and/or watch cooking shows & organize food. the smell from the food will satisfy them & "fill them up" in a way without having to eat anything. and cooking & organizing the food will also keep them busy. i have some friends who have had problems with eating disorders & when it comes to organizing the food... they say that "food is meant to be looked at & not eaten". it's like a form of OCD & it also helps them have control.
you know even if you are over 18 your parenrs can still have you commited if you are proven to be a danger to yourself.and since she is starving herself to death,this would apply....
@kryssylmb be strong, ask for help, if you dont feel comfortable telling your parents, tell another person you trust, your life is just as important and valuable as any other, I formed an eating disorder as a result of rejection from a guy, I was trying to punish myself, I quit cold turkey because I was being sent away as a result. you can overcome this if you believe it
@LovCrzyChick - Yes, there are certain things people can do for people in crises. As a matter of fact, right now, a court wants me to have guardianship of one of my family members, alleging that she, my female relative, cannot properly care for herself. It's a long and crazy story, but they want her declared incompetent. There are other avenues one can take too, so to speak. There's something where I live called "302ing," and it's for people who are in immediate physical danger - nomoreroom
This is so awful. I understand that it would be so hard for Nancy's family, but how can they just watch her die ? They need to take her somewhere where she can get help.
i've been anorexic but at the time i couldnt understand why people cared what i had to eat etc but after i recovered and my best friend got anorexia, i understood the feelings of nancys parents. it is extremely frustrating trying to get the person to understand that shes going to die. theyre in disbelief and because it is a mental disease, its extremely hard to deal with, both for her & the people around her. stop hating on her parents. its because they are frustrated and dont want her to die
i'd love for my mother to care that much. sure, throwing stuff isn't exactly necessary but it's their form of expressing their emotions...my mom really doesn't give a shit.
@angellightmist1016 nahh they don't eat it, they just have an obsession with sorting it, they also look through cookbooks to satisfy their "hunger" you could say, without actually EATING anything. they like preparing food for others as well, because it makes them feel better. if anything, they would eat something with a low nutritional value and cut it up really small like you saw in this movie. so yeah, veggies and stuff i guess, lettuce etc. cos it's 90% water, so you can be excreted easily.
they need to either kick her out or have her go back to the treatment center. all they are doing is enabling her disease by giving her a place to stay to continue getting sicker.
.. I was starting to go down this road.. restricting.. obsessing.. but after seeing this.. I'm gonna start being healthy.. I don't ever wanna end up like that and to see my family like that over me.
@ClythiaMystica I'm not criticizing you because I understand what it means to have an ED and that you can't just start eating again when people want you to, but would you find it easy to accept watching someone you love waste away? If your mom DID accept it without question and didn't worry for your life, she probably didn't love you.
Can't the parents get a court order to force her into the center? There should be something they could do. I cannot believe all they can do is sit there and watch her killing herself out of starvation. It's horrible!
@TheWinterHeat The mom is not anorexia. The actress who played the mom had been suffering from from a form of leukemia for many years. She died this year on November 5.
@agee895 She's obsessed with food, and obsessed in general. It's medically proven that anoretics often become OCD as their disease progresses. She doesn't want to eat, so the next best thing is being around food and controlling yourself, forcing yourself not to eat it. But yeah, they don't really explain that and it's weird.
@agee895 it's not really random. anorexics like to obsess over food. they won't eat it, but they obsess over it. so they can only look at it, or look at labels, or organize the food by type, etc.
@misstaffy1990 it is obvious that you have never had an eating disorder to the extent that the character of nancy had it in the movie. because if you would have had one like that, you would most probably agree with me.
Her parents suck. If i were Nancy i would run away because i was so frustrated. Her parents should stop yelling at her and pushing her. They should just try talking to her calmly and caring.
@PopGirl890 Her parents DO care, this is why they act the way they do. they are frustrated, and do not understand why she is doing it, and only want to help her. they want to help her so badly, that they can not control themselves around her anymore.
I know she's 18 and an adult but there should be some law that they can pin you down and hospitalize you if you're this sick...it's just stupid! I'm so proud of her dad for standing up and yelling at her telling her that she looks like sh**. She's not going to get better on her own. She's got to have a mental illness...just not physical.
@JeniBurton213 there is. if the patient refuses and goes back, theres nothing they can do. when they start to get severely sick, then they can force her.
@JeniBurton213 Yelling seriously doesn't help. It makes it worse. . . You feel worse about yourself, therefore making you not want to eat more. Atleast that's how it was for me.
@meekochic organizing them. she's taking inventory of the nutritional values because she's so obsessed with foods. i bet she wants to open up one of those cans and eat the food, but she's so scared of being fat, losing control, losing herself, that she can't see that she's not what she used to be.
@Xalindrah Same with depression. My family acted the same way for me. I hope you're feeling better and doing better. I found that while it is great to have family on your side, if you find yourself able to plow through hard times alone, you'll feel strong enough to take on anything when all is said and done. That's how I feel now. But in the throws of everything you have to just bear down and find help in any way you can. Help is out there. I hope you have found some health and contentment.
@Xalindrah i couldn't agree with you more. i never got one bit of freaking support when i was basically a walking skeleton. all i got was my friends and family giving me shit 24/7 and no one ever listened or cared.
can someone tell me anymore movies like this to watch?? about anorexia or bulimia? i enjoy them.. thank you . my email is mertylmae@yahoo.com you can find my on facebook under mertyl mae...
im sick of people always thinking why are they doing it to me. They arent doing it to you. They are doing it to themselves. And it usually starts out because they feel they cant control anything in their lives but they can control that. but then it starts out they cant even control it anymore and it starts controlling them.

@kryssylmb be strong, ask for help, if you dont feel comfortable telling your parents, tell another person you trust, your life is just as important and valuable as any other, I formed an eating disorder as a result of rejection from a guy, I was trying to punish myself, I quit cold turkey because I was being sent away as a result. you can overcome this if you believe it

She was in recovery from her E.D. when she made this movie. GOD! How horrible it must have been for her to relive the E.D. all over again.

@LovCrzyChick - Yes, there are certain things people can do for people in crises. As a matter of fact, right now, a court wants me to have guardianship of one of my family members, alleging that she, my female relative, cannot properly care for herself. It's a long and crazy story, but they want her declared incompetent. There are other avenues one can take too, so to speak. There's something where I live called "302ing," and it's for people who are in immediate physical danger - nomoreroom

This is so awful. I understand that it would be so hard for Nancy's family, but how can they just watch her die ? They need to take her somewhere where she can get help.

i've been anorexic but at the time i couldnt understand why people cared what i had to eat etc but after i recovered and my best friend got anorexia, i understood the feelings of nancys parents. it is extremely frustrating trying to get the person to understand that shes going to die. theyre in disbelief and because it is a mental disease, its extremely hard to deal with, both for her & the people around her. stop hating on her parents. its because they are frustrated and dont want her to die

@righteous09 do they actually eat it after sorting.. like she had peaches and veggies and stuff... do they eat that kinda stuff ONLY?
angellightmist1016 11 months ago
@angellightmist1016 nahh they don't eat it, they just have an obsession with sorting it, they also look through cookbooks to satisfy their "hunger" you could say, without actually EATING anything. they like preparing food for others as well, because it makes them feel better. if anything, they would eat something with a low nutritional value and cut it up really small like you saw in this movie. so yeah, veggies and stuff i guess, lettuce etc. cos it's 90% water, so you can be excreted easily.
righteous09 11 months ago
they need to either kick her out or have her go back to the treatment center. all they are doing is enabling her disease by giving her a place to stay to continue getting sicker.

@ClythiaMystica I'm not criticizing you because I understand what it means to have an ED and that you can't just start eating again when people want you to, but would you find it easy to accept watching someone you love waste away? If your mom DID accept it without question and didn't worry for your life, she probably didn't love you.

Can't the parents get a court order to force her into the center? There should be something they could do. I cannot believe all they can do is sit there and watch her killing herself out of starvation. It's horrible!

@TheWinterHeat The mom is not anorexia. The actress who played the mom had been suffering from from a form of leukemia for many years. She died this year on November 5.
starrbeatlesqueen 1 year ago
@agee895 She's obsessed with food, and obsessed in general. It's medically proven that anoretics often become OCD as their disease progresses. She doesn't want to eat, so the next best thing is being around food and controlling yourself, forcing yourself not to eat it. But yeah, they don't really explain that and it's weird.
ktar007 1 year ago 3
why is she organizing all the food in the beginning of the scene? this movie is so random
agee895 1 year ago
@agee895 The reason she does it is because its a compulsion. Anorexia Nervosa is at type of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
ridedalocomotion 1 year ago 2
@agee895 it's not really random. anorexics like to obsess over food. they won't eat it, but they obsess over it. so they can only look at it, or look at labels, or organize the food by type, etc.

@PopGirl890 Her parents DO care, this is why they act the way they do. they are frustrated, and do not understand why she is doing it, and only want to help her. they want to help her so badly, that they can not control themselves around her anymore.

I know she's 18 and an adult but there should be some law that they can pin you down and hospitalize you if you're this sick...it's just stupid! I'm so proud of her dad for standing up and yelling at her telling her that she looks like sh**. She's not going to get better on her own. She's got to have a mental illness...just not physical.

@JeniBurton213 there is. if the patient refuses and goes back, theres nothing they can do. when they start to get severely sick, then they can force her.

@JeniBurton213 Yelling seriously doesn't help. It makes it worse. . . You feel worse about yourself, therefore making you not want to eat more. Atleast that's how it was for me.

@meekochic organizing them. she's taking inventory of the nutritional values because she's so obsessed with foods. i bet she wants to open up one of those cans and eat the food, but she's so scared of being fat, losing control, losing herself, that she can't see that she's not what she used to be.

@Xalindrah Same with depression. My family acted the same way for me. I hope you're feeling better and doing better. I found that while it is great to have family on your side, if you find yourself able to plow through hard times alone, you'll feel strong enough to take on anything when all is said and done. That's how I feel now. But in the throws of everything you have to just bear down and find help in any way you can. Help is out there. I hope you have found some health and contentment.
