Dana: The 8 year old anorexic.

Dana is 8 years old, and shortly after her 8th birthday she began dieting, which quickly turned into anorexia nervosa.
She's been put into Rhode's Farm, a clinic for children and young adults suffering from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, for 12 weeks in a hope that she'll recover.

It's really interesting as you really see how it has effected Dana's family.

Anorexia - Girl.

I'm not sure of the actual name of this documentary, I think it's called "Anorexia - Girl", but I could be wrong.
Anyway, it's a British documentary about a girl called Katie who suffers from anorexia nervosa. It particularly focuses on her relationship with her mother as her family and a team of physciatrists try and put a less than enthusiatic Katie through a recovery programme.
In the beginning Katie pissed me off, but as she gets more talkative the documentary improves.

Not the best ED related documentary out there, but I'd say worth a watch.

It's a good documentary, but sad in parts.

Happy Watching :)

In April, this documentary was shown on ITV in the UK. Fearne uncovered the "truth" about the rise in pro-anorexia sites. I do not necessarily agree with all that's said here, but it's a good watch all the same.

Might post the Louise Redknapp documentary up later.
Stay stay lovelies, keep smiling.

Video: Desperately Hungry Housewives.

This documentary, aired on BBC3 several weeks ago, shows that it's not just teenage girls who suffer from eating disorders. With no mention of the media until very near the end, it shows how EDs are illnesses, not extreme diets.
Youtube is being a whore, so at the moment I can only post the links. I will embed the videos when I get a chance.







It's a fascinating, excellent watch. Please, please watch.

Skinny Kids.

This documentary examines the effect of idealised beauty and size has on young people today.

Superskinny Me.

When two journalists embarked on a radical plan to help them achieve Size 00 (UK size 2) they had no idea how much it would affect their lives. Whilst Louise's body changes dramatically Kate has to cope with the mental/emotional aspects of extreme dieting.






Happy Watching girls :)
