42.1 Binge-Eating Disorder

This video is a short dramatic film highlighting the issue of binge-eating disorder. In the video, you will see a young woman with the disorder navigate her daily life, trying with varying success to cut down on both her binge eating and her obsession with food and her weight. She experiences social isolation and displays avoidance behavior, as well as significant emotional distress.

KATE: Thanks, you guys. We'll see you next week. Have an awesome weekend.

AHMAD: Happy birthday, sweetheart.

NIESHA: Thanks, dad.

AHMAD: Here you go. Here you go, kiddies.

GIRLS: Oh, thanks! Thanks, Mr. K!

AHMAD: Yeah. My pleasure.

GIRLS: I'll take another.

AHMAD: Miss Simmons.

KATE: Kate.

AHMAD: Kate, I'm Ahmad. Niesha's very busy, yet very single dad. Here.

KATE: Oh, thanks. That's really sweet. I actually have an appointment. So I have to get going. So—

AHMAD: Oh, no, no, no. Join us. Honestly, I'm a little scared to be around all these kids right now.

KATE: You'll be fine. Trust me. They're not that bad.

AHMAD: All right. Well, if you can't stay, here, take some of these.

KATE: OK, but just one.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Sorry.

[PHONE DINGS]

I'm hungry.

[PHONE DINGS]

MAN (ON TV): Instead of talking to her about her and myself, she pulled me aside and for about three minutes we talked about Nick.

WOMAN (ON TV): JJ.

MAN (ON TV): I could end up going home without her getting to know me, and that pissed me off. If he got a rose and I didn't, it would be a stab to the heart, for sure.

MOM (ON TV): Annie?

ANNIE (ON TV): No, mom, mother fucking terrorists?

MOM (ON TV): Annie, [INAUDIBLE].

ANNIE (ON TV): I told you about [INAUDIBLE] and I told you about this whole idea.

MOM (ON TV): Annie, calm down.

ANNIE (ON TV): No, Lillian. What are you going to go—you're going to go to Paris with Helen now? What are you going to—you guys going to ride around on bikes with [INAUDIBLE] and fucking baguettes in a basket in front of your bike? Oh, how romantic. What woman gives another woman a trip to Paris? Am I right? Lesbian.

[PHONE RINGING]

KATE: Hey.

SISTER: What the fuck?

KATE: I know. I am so sorry. I wasn't feeling great at work so I came home to take a nap and then I slept through the entire night.

SISTER: This is not like bailing out on a random Sunday night dinner. You missed your niece's 5th birthday.

KATE: I'm so sorry. I will make it up to her. I swear. I must be coming down with something.

SISTER: I'm hanging up now.

[MUSIC - EMILY WOLFE, "ACCIDENT"]

(SINGING) It's OK, it's OK, it's OK. Love's an accident. Caving in, we slip and fall. Run away, run away, run away. These significant memories with curtains drawn. Is that just you running from everything. Is that you just running from everything.

KATE: Double time. Here we go. Reach, reach, circle. Reach, reach. Yes, that's it. Keep going. That's it. You guys got this, right? OK. I'm going to watch you. I'm going to stop. You guys keep going. Ready? Keep going. That's it. Good. Circle. Yes. All right. OK. Kind of. A little bit. Good job. Great job. That's enough for today.

We'll work on that Cat Daddy a little bit more next Thursday, all right? We'll figure that out. Hey, millions of people loved it when Chris Brown did it. Hashtag YouTube. Hashtag just saying. OK? That's all I'm going to say about that.

Have a great, great week. You guys, awesome class. I will see you next time. Great job, buddy. Awesome. Yes. Great.

GIRL: [MEOW]

KATE: Mm. Bye.

COOKIE MOM: Happy birthday, baby!

SAMANTHA: Aw, thank you!

COOKIE MOM: Yes. I brought cookies for all your friends. Yeah. Are you coming over afterwards?

GIRL: Of course. Yeah.

COOKIE MOM: Good.

GIRL: I'll stay for dinner.

COOKIE MOM: Good. Awesome. Oh, Miss Simmons, it's Samantha's birthday. You have just done such an amazing job with these kids.

KATE: Oh, that's really nice.

COOKIE MOM: Please. It's the least I can do
