I am not let down without a typical movie happy ending. After all, it is a documentary.
So raw yet so touching.
So sad yet so truthful.
.
Being a guy, I may not have connected with these girls as much as ladies or other people struggling with these conditions, but the visual images still got into my mind. The footage has a lot of vulgar language, views of patients throwing up, women’s scarred bodies both from self-mutilation and from suicide attempts. It clearly shows the destructive nature of eating disorder, both mentally and physically.No, it is not just a group of thin girls talking about wanting to be thinner, but how they went through one of the most difficult times together.
I highly recommend this documentary, THIN, for people who are interested in learning more about eating disorders. For more information on THIN documentary at Amazon, go here.
As for those who prefer to read, it does have a book version, but nothing beats the documentary. You can check out the book here.

This is such a big problem in society it’s unbelievable. It’s very easy to get into a pattern, get some results, like it and want more. Eventually you aren’t happy with where you are at, and always want to be skinnier. This is why we MUST advocate the healthy and reasonable approach to weight loss, so people see it can be done without starvation, add some exercise, and eat healthy foods, you will see results. They wont be as fast, but they will last, and will not have ongoing psychological problems. I feel so much for these sufferers, and I only hope they can recover and return to a life that resembles normalcy. We can work to prevent this kind of thing happening in other people.

Wonderful insights about body image issues here. I like the fact that you post it and this can be a great educational tool to M’sian readers out there just so that they can learn to be careful of using words like “FAT”, “Chunky” and “Overweight”.

Why would some people want to put their health in jeopardy?? Some people who wanted to gain weight had a hard time and these people don’t even appreciate what they have. Sigh….
