No I don't think it's necessary. However, if certain help isn't working, try another avenue. Even today some of those of folk are a step away from starving themselves over again. Get out of the mirror. Focus on something else. Have fun. Ya like to have fun right? Is not eating fun? It has become habit forming. It started off with losing weight or even building muscle and now it's cyclic.

Some weird habits make one successful, some habits kill them. They are driven.

Want understanding? Try understanding other people besides yourself.

It mai chai-nge yaw thankang.

I agree with focusing on something else rather than ones own image. I have said something very similar myself.

Eating, for those with an eating disorder, is not fun. During recovery they have to learn to re-think the way they feel about food, but it is difficult to see something you struggle with as Fun.

I do consider others. I empathise with others although I may not understand them entirely. I think hard and try and gain all the facts before I make up my mind. I am also capable of altering my opinion based on new evidence.

Some people's opinions though, I consider and dismiss.

Same here. I hear it first though. Soak up info even if it's bullshit.

I in no way implied not eating is fun. I'm sure it's a chore and a habit.

I don't care what you look like is the point you people seem to miss over and over

and a round and round we go

do the people you associate with care that much on your looks, maybe you should get new friends..

It's start out that way but they obviously hone in on "the being fat part" way past what other people think though. No one except other anorexics and zombies would think looking shitty like a skeleton looks good.

Look at the folks that drink Diet Pepsi. There's no way that that shit tastes good the very first time you drink it. After awhile some people just get used to it.

Its an illness. A mental illness grounded in compulsive behaviour and caused in part by a change in brain chemistry in response to stress (stress=physical OR mental). That which you describe above are some of the symptoms of this illness. I think this has been discussed previously.

Yeah there are some homeless around here that became mentally ill after they decided not work.

[Blythorama]

Ok so we're talking about the homeless now. All lazy ain't they. Its their own fault isn't it. I suppose you once nearly became homeless but managed to pull yourself together in the nick of time because you are so mentally strong. Yes. Well done.

seems completely relevant as your "condition" is the way you and others precieve yourself. thats how I understand your problem anyway
