Did anyone catch that last night on ch 4?
My God, i came close to tears watching that little girl.
She originally wanted to "eat healthy" so cut out junk food then sweets.
Her mom didnt know what to think, but then thought shes 8 thats never gonna last. In the end she was eating less than 175 cal a day and weighed 3 stone!!!!!
The girl was sent off to Rhodes farm, and the documentry showed parts of rhodes farm on the show. she was there 12 weeks before being released. I suppose it really just opened my eyes even more, and even the girls in rhodes farm for ana and bulimia on average were 15 years old, couldnt believe how young this little girl was and how she even knew what calories were.
Dana used to excercise after every meal like an hour skipping and running. and upon leaving she had to maintain a 2400cal evryday to help repair her body.
it was such a shame to see her mother go through that aswell, constantly worried incase there was a relapse.
I think that documentry made it crystal clear that anorexia and bulimia is a diesease and i really dislike people who 'look' for and 'try' to get one of these diesease when it can clear ruin peoples lives who dont ask for it at any age and now younger and younger.
I would love to hear anyones thoughts on this and if you didnt catch it on tv then on the channel 4 website you can actually watch it. ↓
