      abstract = {This unique and powerful film provides incredible insight  into the sad world of compulsive overeating and the turmoil  of addictive behavior. Filmmaker John Spellos follows his  mother through a five-month period as she struggles to  change her eating habits and deal with the psychological  issues that have brought her to obesity. Family and friends  share stories and examine their own roles in the  development of her eating disorder and how their lives have  been affected. The candor of all the film's participants  result in many poignant moments that will inevitable change  the way we look at obese people. This is a population that  suffers from an addiction just as debilitating and rampant  as alcohol and drug abuse, yet is more often than not, met  with insensitive jokes rather than the much-needed support  they so desperately seek. This is an essential film to all  human service professionals.},
