I can't watch hoarders. I feel awful for the people. I havn't seen many episodes but the ones I have dealt with women who had severe trauma and abuse early in life that lead to issues later on. That shit can happen to anybody and the illness is so deeply rooted that it is hard to overcome.  This show though, pure fucking gold! I love it. Each episode more ridiculous than the next. Yet none ever realize they lost the weight to get the surgery by not eating so much shit and they can continue doing that and avoid surgery. The way their beady eyes look at food like even the shittiest meal is the best thing in the world makes me laugh. Every new episode is like Christmas morning for me. You never know what will cause the buttery tears and watching that fills me with joy.
