Description: A single-camera sitcom that explored the lives of four New Yorkers in their thirties who were all grappling with different eating disorders. The group finds support in a "shame-based" therapy group called "Belt Tighteners," led by a sarcastic and abrasive leader, whose mantra is, "It's not OK!" The show, while attempting to be a comedy, aimed to shed light on the realities of eating disorders and challenged preconceived notions about them.
