    Default Super Skinny Me

    Did anyone catch that documnetary on BBC America called "Super Skinny Me"? I watched it the other night and thought it was so interesting.

    http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/283/index.jsp

    It's about these two british female journalists that use extreme dieting to attempt to get down U.S. size 00 in 5 weeks. It is crazy to watch all the emotional changes they go through doing the experiment. It really made me think...have I ever acted like that?

    One of the women managed to make it to the 00. When she started she was 5'5" and 129 lbs. Sometimes it seems like losing weight gives you a high...then you get addicted to it... and it is hard to know when to stop .

    I think the channel is running a series of one hour long documentaries about women and their bodies. "Super Skinny Me" was just one of the documentaries. I also watched one called "My Small Breasts and I" that was pretty interesting.

    I'm not really sure how I feel about Super Skinny Me. It annoyed me that the chick that made it to 00 cried over anorexics. I can't really tell you why that bother me though.

    I think she was just emotionally and physically exhausted. I remember when I tried to go on a super low calorie diet...I was a mess too. I cried over every little thing.

    I need to watch this. I saw the "my small breasts and I" and "my large breasts and I".. those were really good

    On a side note, BBCAmerica is seriously one of the best, if not the best channels!

    I saw them and the small breast one.

    Nothing new....women insecure about their bodies and taking drastic steps to change it.

    I watched it because my boyfriend saw it and was trying to better understand my bulimia. I was touched he was has made such an effort... it was ok... meh. There are a lot of books out there that have been done much better than this series... like Starved.
