Dr. Phil

I saw the preview for Thusday's Dr. Phil on ET last night. It broke my heart to watch the two women on there. They are both anorexic and weigh about 60 lbs each. One woman is 58 and the other 23. It oughta be a very eye opening program for those who watch. It may hit home for some too.

:0 My God!
Wish I could watch it, sounds interesting.

WOW!!

I tivo it so I will watch it tonight. That is so sad.

Me too. Had to DVR it!

I was watching spanish news last night. and they were reporting about a Brazilian model who died from anorexia.  It started when she was 13.  she died at the same weight she was at 13

Sad

Yeah I read that too, it was in the newspaper here today.

So sad!

dont know much about stuff like this but where do people go with weighing 58lbs?? omg that is sad. :(

Rahana, who is construction managment going.

I'm thinking of going back to school for my master in Construction Administration or MBA

hey newboss. sorry to go off topic with this. the program is great. i really enjoy it. you should go for it. :)

I started watching this last night after tivoing it but I have to tell you, I couldnt stomach watching this.

This lady was only 60 lbs and she said she ran about 5 miles a day. :(

Yeah, one walked for 20 miles a day, 5-6 hours a day, and did an insane amount of situps and leg lifts and stuff.  I was surprised she had enough muscle left to do that.  But I fear that eventually her heart will give out because it is a muscle too, and anorexia will eat away at it.

But I agree with Dr. Phil, they need to learn to hand some of their power and control over, especially to someone else who wants to help them.  That is the biggest problem,  they feel the need control in their life, so they don't eat.   Breaking through that mental and emotional obstacle is the hardest part. 

I am so mad, I missed it! Came home to a flooded bathroom due to a backed up sewer line. Dang.

I saw the last half.  I do hope the treatment that Dr. Phil offered will help them.  It's such a devastating illness.

I so hate Dr. Phil.  But I do so love to yell at the TV screen when he's on sometimes!! =)~

Raehn.. I am glad I am not the only one that hates Dr. Phil.  Have you noticed his show is becoming more and more Jerry  Springerish all the time ?

Yeah, I stopped watching it after he started installing cameras in people's houses so we can be entertained by watching people fight and act like animals.

To me, personal and family problems shouldn't be broadcast on TV for the whole world to watch.   It's like whoring yourself...
