hopefully it's not just me who's seen every ED documentary i can find but i'm always interested in where the people are at now

i heard that Polly from 'Thin' killed herself some point after being kicked out of treatment which is just horrible and one of the Rhodes Farm documentaries is 11 years old now which is crazy seeing as the kids in it were about 12-15 y/o.

Also Emily from the show Intervention had a follow up episode and she'd gained weight after having an ED for 8 years

I don't think Brittany is dead. I haven't found anything online to confirm this. So she's most likely alive (at least, I hope).

Brittany did admit that 3 years after the film (so in 2009) she went to rehab for heroin:

I really loved this girl from "diary of an anorexic" A french girl, really smart... I saw an interview, she is now better.


There was also a very sweet girl named Dominique, I wish she is fine, she was really sweet.


And here a docu I just love

Dominique Williams is from NZ. She's doing well and working on recovery all the time.

Where did you read the interview of the first girl?
Hi! I saw the interview on youtube, I'm sorry I don't have the link and I can't remember the name. It's weird because the docu isn't online anymore as I can see (at least on youtube) If you're interested in searching the girl, her name is Chloé Lafone!

I found this on the Wikipedia page for the documentary thin which gives some detail on what happened to the girls and where they are now -

" In 2008, Shelly reported that she was successfully recovering from her eating disorder.

Polly moved to Chattanooga after leaving Renfrew, went back to school to study photography and was managing a studio at the time of the film's release. She died at her residence on February 8, 2008. Her death is believed to have been a suicide.

Three years after the filming, Brittany mentioned going to rehab for a heroin addiction on her MySpace"

Anyone know anything about how Natasha from "I'm A Child Anorexic" is doing? I think about her all the time.
Last I heard she was doing well. I hope she still is. I really liked her.
