I found this movie/book to be very triggering. I ended up looking at the weights of the girls and thinking "they're not even THAT thin!", when in reality they were because they are all sick enough to need inpatient care. It kind of turned into a competition with the girls in the book/movie.

I would recommend it to friends and family, but not anyone in recovery because of the very descriptive language and the visual images.

I have this video and it's very very triggering for me. I would not recommend it for anyone with an ED.

Well thank god I cant figure out how to open this video up.... If its that triggering I dont want to see it... I was looking on how to open it up just to see but when I see these comments glad I cant figure it out .... Thanks for the worring guys...

Hey woovey, I'm glad you could not get to the video, it sucks (triggering in a major way). Stay away from it!!!!!

Yes i also found this extremely triggering really not a good recommendation - sorry not meaning to make it worse just being honest x

Have not read the book, but watched the video.. It was a bit triggering, but made me think about myself.. Inpatient is very intense, and I really felt their pain... It is a great recommedation for family and friends. It can help them see, how difficult it is to be faced with food, and how ED makes us think...
Peace..

I also found this to be terribly triggering. I remember finding it when it first came out. I have an addiction to ed books and movies. I would watch it all the time. I saw some of the pictures from the book on Ms. Greenfield's website. Recently I've been looking at them again. =/
I think it's good for non-ed people to kinda see the hell that eds cause, but should definitely be kept away from people that are struggling with it.

i have seen the HBO series twice and i found it interesting to watch. in some way i could relate

I too don't think Thin the documentary is a postivie for people with ED. I watched it when it first came out and I too thought, they aren't that thin, "wow, wish I could be ==lbs etc. I kept going back to it in a very unhealthy way.

I don't think its helpful either... I've watched it like 10 times and its always to enable whatever crazy thing I'm doing at the time.

I've read the book and watched the actual documentary several times. Not to sound harsh or insensitive, sucks to see reality strike. I never thought it as triggering... I found it informative.... however, to each their own opinion.

I saw extracts and they were triggering for me. I learnt some of the best tips and tricks of the trade in hospital. Thank god that there are now specialised treatment centres for ED suffers.

I tend to stay away from books and videos concerning ED, because I find them very triggering

You must remember, they are very thin, but the camera adds 10 lbs. plus! I had to keep reminding myself of that so I wouldn\'t feel bad! So, maybe not a good film to watch if you are in recovery!

I did not find it triggering either, but I see that a lot of ppl do!
