If you've watched "My 600 Pound Life" then this is the total opposite of that. Instead of having no control over their eating habits, they control it too much to the point they hardly eat. Instead of having no concern about their body image, they spend every waking moment concerned about it. These women have eating disorders which cause them to either not eat, or purge after eating large quantities. Both disorders result in unhealthy weight loss, yet they all have a fat image of themselves.
I think this documentary should've pivoted off of these patients early on and turned its attention towards experts, statistics, cartoons, paint drying, or anything else. It didn't take very long for these women to get very irritating. The documentary took on a reality T. V. feel, and I loathe reality T. V. I don't think there's a form of entertainment on television worse than reality T. V. The women have an eating disorder. That interested me. The whining, crying, histrionics, and drama did not.
