Super Skinny Me

These two journalist begin crash dieting in order to reach size 00 in five weeks. It is crazy.


One chick goes on the lemonade diet, a detox center for a week (where she had four colonics in five days). This chick, with two weeks to go, goes on a binge and eats all the food in her house. She has been "playing around with laxatives." Who the hell plays with laxatives? Also, its useless to take laxatives to lose weight. It doesn't work. She goes to visit a disorder doctor and he says he has to quit the experiment. She gets angry. She ultimately begins to vomit after bingeing but she has learned from it and even though the experiment ends, she still needs to visit the consulting doctor to make sure she is staying healthy.


The other chick does more of a "eat right, exercise more" diet. She even goes to visit an anorexia girl who "aspires to be like Nicole Richie." The girl says that is "unfair" that she has to put on weight to be a "healthy weight" and Nicole gets to look like that. Did you take into the fact that Nicole Richie is like, 5'1", so her frame is smaller then the average woman. Not that I can really defend Richie's size. She probably is unhealthy, but its no excuse to justify your own disorder. Thats just passing the blame. She does eventually get into a 00 pair of jeans but she doesn't like them. She hates it.

This is a very good documentary. Both women have developed emotional problems during their dieting and they go through some great emotional breakdowns. Great to watch, but very sad with sympathy for what they are putting themselves through.
