I may be hyper-aware of this (as I've had my own experiences with anorexia) but I watch this show and think, "It's one thing to be inactive/depressed, But the enablers bring so much food! Don't these people get full?" Like, full. Stomach pain, no more food for me, nauseous full. The "wall" that even competitive eaters hit.
Don't they also become bored by the taste of fast food (contestant and enabler alike)? Fried food tastes like breading at major franchises (McDonalds, Burger King, etc.). It isn't very well seasoned. They don't need variety, just, for themselves? It's not just that they may not be able to afford fresh vegetables, but that they don't want them and aren't the least bit curious about the opportunity to cook something new. I have a relative like this, who won't touch a single vegetable that isn't a potato or iceberg lettuce. Just baffles me.
And the fact that some enablers (Christina's mother) think that if their not-so-little baby doesn't eat, he or she will just die. Losing weight is not a comfortable experience. You're going to be hungry if you're eating less/acclimating to eating different foods. At 500+ pounds, you're eating to maintain that excessive weight. Which you can't do if you're trying to lose it.
