We watched a 2003 eating disorder documentary and found that it surprised us in more ways than one. Topics include the role of family in both the eating disorder and recovery, whether traditional treatment even works, some scary numbers, Marya Hornbacher (again), and one of Lauren’s namesakes. Enjoy!
