You make it sound like people with eating disorders simply need to look at the food pyramid. These disorders have psychotic components. Namely, body dysmorphia, in which the afflicted persons cannot see themselves or their bodies in a realistic way. It doesn't matter how thin they might be, they still see themselves as being too big. It is fundamentally irrational, so a good pep talk, education about food and exercise, etc. won't work. Period. These conditions are called illnesses for a reason. Self-righteous minimalization isn't the answer...not for this...not for anything.
Allow me to quote my favourite comedian on the subject:...Am I the only one here who is tired of listening to these pretentious girls calling it a disease? It's a DECISION, not a DISEASE! Cancer is a disease. Parkinson's is a disease. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease. Leprosy is a disease. Polio is a disease, etc... If anything, it is a sickness at best. What kind of f**ked up values does someone have when they eat a meal and then puke it up intentionally? Or someone who just simply doesn't want to eat. There people starving everyday who would give anything for a decent meal. However, some snobby **** only thinking of herself couldn't care less. Purging on food to vomit up an hour later. Normal people enjoy eating... I have no sympathy for them. Don't eat; I don't give 2 s**ts... pass the gravy bitch!""I don't want to eat!" "Go f**k yourself. Why don't you go lie down under a train, right after you don't eat." - George Carlin... My friend's suggestion was to have an exchange program. Ship annorexic girls to the third world and get some starving kids back here instead, that can appreciate a decent meal.
Fathers actually didn't take much part in their children's lives until adolescence anyway. And men wanted children, hence the ideal being women more suited to have several in their lives.
I always thought I should try to market sensible eating, using only water as a thirst quencher, and high-duration, low-intensity cardiovascular exercise as the next fad diet. I wonder whether it would sell.
@nagumiI don't even think the 50% fully recover. There are still thoughts...constant thoughts. Even if you don't physically go through with anything again.I battled anorexia for almost three years. It was a control thing, not a "pretty" or "popular" thing. I'm at a healthy weight, but I still have thoughts every day, and I will for the rest of my life.My least favorite curves happen to be my boyfriend's favorite curves. He helps me a lot. :)

There a lot of Americans who are really out there when it comes to dieting. The diet craze has a lot to do with the media hype about top models and movie stars. Everybody wants to look like Britney Spears or Nicole Richie, but that is not possible for all of us. If everyone of us were to concentrate on risking our lives for a diet, then what would the world come to? Proper and healthy nutrition should be more important than diets. How can we get people to see the seriousness of being healthy and get rid of the hype about being thin? Society is responsible for the dying for a diet concept that anorexia and bulima patients see as being normal. Where did we go wrong. There is nothing wrong with dieting, but doing it appropriately is the key. Don't go overboard.
