I really hoped that after going through the filming of that show, they would have had the resources and support they needed to recover from this horrible disorder. Having never gone through it myself, it's so hard to relate to the pressures they all must feel, daily. <BR/>It's so sad to hear about Polly's Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134054311532297815.post-44309469877492986332008-02-12T14:14:00.000-04:002008-02-12T14:14:00.000-04:00Such a terrible loss.

But of course! Suicidal people suddenly snap out of depression or a "bad mood" and become cheerful - once they have positively determined to die. Polly was in a war zone, the enemy was food, and she was suffering from PTSD for many years, until the daily war evaporated her strength.

I thought Polly showed such spirit with great spunk and I had hoped she could use those attributes to help her recover from her ED.<BR/> <BR/>She may have felt like she couldn't help herself, but her honesty and her story will help others.<BR/>Her life was not in vain and she hopefully is at peace now.HoneyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676219673255597595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134054311532297815.post-14852129048293682182008-02-12T00:27:00.000-04:002008-02-12T00:27:00.000-04:00In the end, Polly inflicted as great a pain on tho...In the end, Polly inflicted as great a pain on those who misguidedly attempted to save her from obesity as they inflicted on her for an all too brief lifetime of pain and denial. They will carry the scars of her untimely end to their graves.

She will definately be missed, even though I never knew her, I feel like I knew her through the THIN documentry, that's relaly sad but it shows the unfortant reality of eating disorders and how deadly they can be.
