Dr. Phil: Starving For Perfection
Dr. Phil speaks with 58-year-old Darlene and 22-year-old Jennifer, each weighing about 60 pounds. Darlene walks 20 miles every day followed by several crunches and leg lifts to burn calories. Jennifer has already been in cardiac arrest and has been diagnosed with osteoporosis. She says that she’s not in denial and that she’s sorry for all of the damage she’s done. Her parents blame her for their problems, and Jennifer just wants to move forward. Watch to see what happens when Dr. Phil tries to help these two starving women.
