There was a girl who threw up as much as 60 times a day to stay thin and she had a heart attack at the age of 16 :eek: and continued to throw up and take laxitives and other drugs to stay thin! Another girl who had weighed over 300lbs in high school lost weight by abusing diet pills and refused to stop for fear of gaining the weight back. It was very interesting.

I watched a little bit of it. Very sad. :(

As many desperate times I have had I have never once had thoughts of being this extreme! Sure I tried alot of pills, powders and diets but always took the amount it said. I would be so scared to take more than one pill at a time!! And I cant even imagine making myself vomit :( I agree it is very sad--for the entire family.

I hate puking. I cannot imagine making yourself do it several times a day. yuck! Our society has such a distorted view of beauty. People risk killing themselves just to be an ideal size. :???:
