THIN IS "IN"SANE


A quick word on this documentary I watched last weekend called Thin. I think it was nominated for an Oscar last year. It was truly disturbing about anorexic women in a group home. I don't want to speak ill of the sick, no pun intended, but these girls are crazy. The way they see themselves is so warped and frakked up I can't even begin to describe it.

By the end of it I was nearly sick to my stomach thinking about how screwed up these chicks are. The four or five they followed never changed their mind during their 3-6 month stay in the facility. I don't know what kind of half assed place this is, or if that's just how anorexics are, never "getting it", but it was ridiculous. They had updates on the girls and all of them were still binging and purging and never really recovered. It's like being an alcoholic, going to AA and then getting drunk every once in awhile. I just don't get it.

I mean good luck and all to these women, because they obviously have a disease, but if this place they went to is supposed to be the best place in the country, that's scary, they didn't help anyone.
