Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I liked Tuesday's show as well. Carnie Wilson shared her story for the first time publicly. After her surgery she became an alcoholic. She was drinking a bottle of wine plus 10 martinis a day! She got sober just before her baby was conceived. I think Carnie is such an inspiration. She is so down to earth and seems to really care about people. She shared that everytime she saw an obese person she felt like it was her responsiblity to help them, because she sees herself in them.

She looked good on Oprah and like she was smaller than when she was on Celebrity Fit Club.

Did you see the show last week with the woman who had bulimia and stored giant bags of vomit in her closet. She wouldn't use the bathroom b/c she didn't want her husband to see her going in after meals or smell the aftermath. Once a week she would box up the bags and take them to a trash dumpster somewhere around town. She did this for 7 years. It was very hard to watch. The footage they showed was very graphic. They showed everything. It was definitely the grossest thing I have seen on tv.

She went into treatment and is doing well. However, I didn't believe certain things she said. She said she had not had even 1 relapse since she went into rehab and that she never has the urge to purge anymore. I just don't think that is possible. It this is true she is the only person in the world who has not. It made me suspect that she is still purging.
