I have a lot of sympathy for people with eating disorders, this programme hasn't changed that but the Woman on it was SO selfish- £200 a week on food alone then booze on top of that.

Anyone else see it?

Man I thought it said 'mingers'......

seriously as someone who's spent most of the year trying to be persuaded to eat solid food without the aid of supernanny isn't something I could watch

No I missed the program. But bulimia is an addiction, which is as hard to get over as alcoholism or smoking. No sufferer wants to be suffering from it, and the feelings of self hate that come with the condition can be overwhelming. It isn't simply a case of being selfish. And yes, I do speak from experience. But I appreciate that it's hard for people to understand; I can't understand how someone who wants to give up smoking would find it so hard for example.

Yes,I agree Ruth.It's not a question of get over yourself and eat/stop,whatever.People want to stop these compulsions but find it so difficult.It's not necassarily as simple as using food as a means of control either...sometimes the thought of food is enough to make a sufferer physically sick
