Be careful! This doc. was on HBO a few months ago. I watched it way too many times. Over and over. Definately was a triggger for me I'm sorry to say.

I tried watching this and got really light headed and dizzy. I had to go lie down for a while. I don't think I'm ready to watch this kinda stuff. I'm feeling nausous right now just thinking about what I saw.

i own the dvd, but i haven't watched it since december, too triggering. plus if i watched it now i'd run and hide from the hospital, which wouldn't be good for me.
deleted_user
I watched it was freaked out. I was one of the first patients to go to Renfrew. It was nothing like what the movie showed. It was a very nuturing and friendly environment. This movie showed a place I would never had gone to.

Polly was a guest oN a talk show during national Eating Disorders Week (a few months ago I think?) and while she hadn't gotten into recovery right after her Renfrew booting, she DID get into recovery shortly thereafter. She looked great!

welll i am one to talk about renfrewww because i was just recently in treatment there for almost 4 monhts.. but i was not in inpatient... i should have been but it is a longg longgg story, i started in day treatment. but i have friends that were there. and from my stay with those 4 months, it was ABSOLUTELY amazing. that is exactly how it is. your life is worth living and the eating disorder fades away. its an amazing feeling!

that is an amazing movie. I kept thinking that it is so sad and then I realized in the back of my mind I was jealous. Can you imagine jealous of being 86 pounds. I realized instantly the illness part of it and also validated where I am now but how screwed up my thinking is. It's just all so sad.
deleted_user
I know, I was jealous too... and they said she only had to get up to 100 I was like SHOOT I can get up to 100 I hope that is my goal weight... :p
