"What's Eating You?" premieres tonight

"What's Eating You?" premieres tonight. Are you offended? Scared? Can you identify?

I will watch because I want to understand more about eating disorders, because I can identify with a small portion of behaviors, and because this documentary also includes a gastric band patient. I want to hear her story most of all, because I read emails from my peers all the time, but it's not often that I can "SEE" what's really happening out there.  

Described as a new six-part series about compulsive eating disorders, "What's Eating You," which premieres Oct. 13th at 10PM, features real-life people whose lives are threatened by harmful and extreme eating habits and the doctors, nutritionists and therapists who try to help them with their deadly addiction.

The documentary style series follows a number of addicts, such as, a woman who compulsively eats chalk, another who eats garbage and various other extreme eating behaviors that put their lives in jeopardy.
