Additcted to food, TV show
Anyone watch the TV show addicted to food? I believe 2 of the people on the show have had WLS, I think they said gastric bypass. I have a feeling most people who have weight problems are somewhat addicted in some way to food, have over eating issues, etc. I bet if all WLS Dr's had some sort of counseling for this included in the whole process, everyone would have better success. It is a interesting show, 2 of the people are thin, but are bulimic or take laxatives.
Mari Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!
I didn't see it. Is it worth watching? I guess I was hoping it's not a lot of "boo-hoo poor me" and more -what can we do to help you. Maybe with shows like this so many people won't look down on obese people. We are dealing with addictions just like alcoholics and unlike alcoholics and other addictions we are supposed to keep eating...so basically face our addictions every day...three times a day. Can you imagine an alcoholic having to have a beer three times a day and told "but you can only have one low calorie beer"....eventually they would give too.
I thought it was pretty good, it is run by one of the same therapists that is working with Ruby (has here own show) with her emotional issues. My only problem with it is it kinda seems like she is saying all weight gain is caused by emotional issues or abuse of some kind. I don't believe that ALL overweight people are that way because of emotional issues. For many of us it is merely not being able to get around and get enough exercise because of physical problems not emotional issues. Other than that I did think it was a good show. I found it interesting that they also treat anorexics and bulimics at the time as the over weight.
