OWN’s new show, Addicted to Food is set to premiere on Tuesday, April 5th, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.  The Oprah.com press release says that the show is about “exploring the rehabilitation of eight patients at the eating disorder treatment center, Shades of Hope.”  With a little help from Google, it looks like we’ll be in Buffalo Gap, Texas for this show…and if you absolutely want a sneak peak…check out the Shades of Hope website and the program info.  I will say…at first I thought, “Oh no…a program about food and weight and self esteem…will this make me feel better when I watch it? Will I learn?  Will I be motivated to put down the bag of chips…or walk away from the cookies?”   

With just a quick look at the Shades of Hope program, it says “we believe in treating the mind, body and spirit.”  Maybe, as a viewer, our own minds, body and spirit will be to find some lesson that we can carry into our own lives…  We will know when the series premieres on April 5th….on the OWN Network.
