Okay, maybe too honest confession:
I've never been super huge and have several times been way too thin, to the point of nutrient deficiencies. But, even at my semi-normal weight, when I watch these shows, it tips to "worrying I'll end the same way and feeling like a whale"...but when I'm say, 5lbs lighter, on the low side of what's okay for my height/body type, I don't feel whale-sized.
FWIW, I'm right under 5'3 and 119 when I swell up from a good 12-17 pounds of PMS weight (I have horrible cycles, that adds tons of weight, mental and emotional trauma, and literal physical discomfort).
I don't at all feel good about myself when watching shows like this, I feel even worse.
So, now that I've been completely open, and I know have long had a disorder, does anyone else feel the same watching this show?
All of this being said, Gilbert saying she was like a "big assed baby", while I can understand the place that comes from, was awful.
I'm so sorry for her. :/
