Hey Bashful,
Thanks for your reply. It is really upsetting yeah. I forced myself to watch it because I really feel that if I hadn't come to my senses I would be on my way to 40 stone just like those people. Food addiction, or food phobia - whatever the eating disorder, it's still an illness and I don't think many people treat it as seriously as it should be treated. People who have no problems with food or their weight will probably watch that and assume that these people are just fat/lazy etc, I really think we should be taught about food and exercise from the day we start school. It sounds stupid but up until maybe my late teens I had no idea why I was fat - nobody ever said it was because of what I ate, and I never got a choice in what I ate either - that was left up to my parents. People need educated properly about healthy eating, even slim people, you know the ones who stay size 8 even though they could eat 4 bigmacs for lunch! They might not be fat but they won't be very healthy!
Anyway rant over lol
