A couple of days ago, Demi Moore checked into the Cirque Lodge rehab center in Utah for anorexia and addiction to prescription pills and so far from what we understand, the progress for Demi has been slow-going as she may not have accepted that she has issues. What is the first step, people? All together now…”Accepting that there is a problem” and this is definitely something that our beloved Freckles has been unable to do during her recent stay at the Lodge. I suppose having Courtney Love as a sobriety coach isn’t exactly helping matters either. Here’s hoping that the program works for Demi.

Our friends at RadarOnline.com are reporting that when Moore checked into the center she was not allowed to see how much she weighed. And that totally makes sense as why would you allow an anorexic access to a scale anyways?

Radar says,

“It’s common treatment practice at Cirque to not allow patients that are being treated for an eating disorder to see how much they weigh when they step on the scale. Their weights are taken everyday, sometimes several times a day to make sure that they aren’t losing weight while in treatment. Doctors at Cirque don’t want patients to fixate on their weight. Eating disorders are all about control, plain and simple. When someone is in the ravages of an eating disorder, their lives are typically out of control. The one thing someone with an eating disorder believes they can control in their lives, is food. Demi isn’t being forced fed or chastised for not wanting to eat though. The counselors at Cirque are working on giving Demi a safe and controlled environment, she is getting the best care possible. She is also dealing with an addiction to prescription medication, and she has a comprehensive team taking care of her.”

A source said of Demi’s anorexia and her weight of under 100 pounds, “People just say Demi should just eat something, well if it were that easy, she would. Anorexia is a very serious disease, and treatment can take three months before a patient begins to see success. She will likely stay at Cirque for at least 60 days. She doesn’t have a roommate currently, but that could change though as she advances through the program.”

Time will tell!
