Tonight ABC is showing the movie 28 Days. Sandra Bullock plays an alcoholic who is ordered to rehab after an episode of destructive behavior. I highly recommend it. Why, you might ask?
As I've gone through this process of losing a lifetime of obesity, I've found many many parallels between my situation and that of addicts. If you struggle with compulsive overeating, I think this movie has a lot to say that will hit home. I found I could lift phrases and entire chunks of dialog, just replacing the word "alcohol" with "food" and it was a little disturbing how much I identified.
