I just LOVE a good eating disorder sit-com!

As Roz once said:

Holy merde!

Personally, I've watched so many eating disorders happen to friends that they taught me how to find the gallows humor in it. But I don't know if this would fly with the general public.


Benanti-rexic

I'm not even going to touch this one.

Four characters with eating disorders. So, they'll touch base on anorexia (benanti), bulimia, and binge eating. Is there a fourth disorder I'm neglecting...?

Aw, damn, and I've always dreamed of being on a sitcom where I played a bulimic broadway star! They stole my thunder.

I watched this show last night, it's called America's Next Top Super Model.

That little article didn't really say much to make me interested. An anorexic bisexual folk singer? Yawn...

I smell trouble... :)

Mominator, I officially love you.

True, I highly doubt a show about beautiful girls with eating disorders if going to curb the ever growing amount of girls (and some boys) with this horrible affliction.

Thanks littlefish! Well it is true it isn't all a culture thing. But when all you see are pencil thin models on the runways and in the magazines and on television, it really does play havoc on an already insecure youth. I had a friend who died from anorexia, she was such a woderful girl, bright and smart with to die for blue eyes and curly red hair. She always thought she should lose more weight, because she wasn't a size 3.

Thanks hon! At her wake, several of us were chatting. We went to a verrrry small prep school, so everyone knew everyone, and no one can ever remember having luch with her or even remember her being in the caf.
That what makes eating disorders so scarry, family and friends are so powerless

I think that poking fun of eating disorders is sinking very low here. I am ashamed to see it on this message board. All eating disorders are serious and life threatening illness that require medical intervention. Tell me, would someome like to see a sitcom about cancer, heart disease or HIV? I dont think so. As awoman who has been battling obesity for many years, I have been the subject of many cruel jokes. Until the past few years, I didnt even know that I could be treated surgically. Until, I have that that surgery { very soon} my life is on the line because of the comorbidities associated with obesity. Life is such a precious gift...........please respect it.

Rath, I wasnt commenting on anyone's posts on the board,,,, just the whole concept of the sitcom.

I think robbiej's first post says it all

"holy merde!"

This sounds like a winner. . .
