  Fearne thank you so much for alerting me to this wonderful idea

  I watched the online programme with anorexia with great interest. I feel that a parent who had been through the experience could have had a greater impact with the knowledge for the public, but Fearn did a very good job. Parents please take a look at my website www.blackpool4me.com/hopeforanorexia

  I hope you find it of value.

  This documentary really raises the big issue of anorexia in this modern day and i appreciate it greatly, it has really opened my eyes to the dangers of anorexia and i am now doing a school project on it, but it doesnt say in the credits who the director is. Any ideas?

  I don't think this programme really gave a balanced view - some sites that are classed as ''proanorexia'' have very strict rules such as NO giving tips, NO ecouraging other members not to eat, NO telling them how to hide their EDs from friends/family etc. I really enjoyed this, but still. Could have focussed on some of the less extreme sites as well to show they're not all ''evil''.

  I have had an eating disorder and OCD since the age of 6. However,at the age of 11 i managed to recover myself although i recovered myself to binge eating that lead me to be 50pounds over weight. my mum told me i was overweight i sobbed my heart out that night so i started a diet.

  4 weeks later guess whats on TV?

  the truth about online anorexia....

  when i was age 11 and under i didn't know about online anorexia that's probably why i stopped.

  after watching this "documentary" i went straight on the web sights,i remember sitting there looking at my laptop saying i can do this again.The food got less and less i was soon not eating for 6days, now 9months later im 40 pounds lighter and i make myself sick 8+ times a day.Im now only 10pounds over weight, my family think im better the doctors told me "just eat less and exercise more" HAHA! maybe when im 50 pounds lighter they might actually help me!!

  Ne way the point in me writing this is that this program was a lot of utter bull shit! the way Fearne was looking at the web sights and saying its disgusting, its the way we live! this program thought me how to be anorexic. i have lost great respect for Fearne we dont chose to be anorexic we dont wake up in the morning and go "hey lets try this low calorie diet for one day" like she did that's like going "hey lets try cancer for the week".

  If it wasn't for the anorexic websites i would be dead now, when i sit there with a razor in my hand my anorexic/bulimic friends are the only ones there that help me calm down, when i had 30 paracetamol in my bag they are the ones that help me put them down the loo! and these web sights actually promote healthy eating!

  i guess that you can never understand the mind of a anorexic/bulimic unless you had it yourself...........

  please dont judge a person with an eating disorder until you have hear their story....
