The sisters say they plan, and carry out their bingeing and purging rituals together. And, that they want to maintain equal weights so that neither will be known as the "fatter twin."While speaking with Dr. Phil, both girls tell him they think the other twin looks too thin, but Tricia describes herself as being "about right." When she sees a photo of herself with Taylor, Tricia starts to cry saying, "I didn't know I was that thin."When the girls are shown a photo of themselves at a healthier weight, Taylor responds: "That is a picture when I knew how to eat normal, and constantly didn't hate myself."
