Do you think about everything you eat with the fear of gaining weight? Do you skip meals to lose weight? What about your teenager? Dr. Phil takes an eye-opening journey into the mind of an anorexic and bulimic. Meagan is 26 and weighs only 73 pounds. She starves herself all day, abuses laxatives, and binges and purges at night when everyone is asleep. She's been battling her eating disorders for over 10 years. Her parents, Donna and Tom, fear she could die at any moment and admit they enable Meagan’s disease to keep the peace. Meagan’s sister, Erika, says she’s so disgusted with her sister, she can’t stand being in the same room with her. When one member of the family has an eating disorder, it can make the entire family dysfunctional. Will Meagan accept help, and will her family do the work necessary to support her? Do you know the warning signs of someone who is at risk of developing an eating disorder? Parents, you can’t afford to miss this show! (2309019)
