featherish said: "Thanks for that UniqueMystique.
I hope that everyone here understands that Eating Disorders are not the topic of this board.
It is for people that want to get healthy and lose weight, through principles of healthy dieting and exercise.
People that wish to discuss their eating disorders should find another forum somewhere else on the internet...It is not here.."
Heather said: "Thanks for sharing that info.
Eating disorders are no way to deal with real or *perceived* weight problems, and I don't know of anyone here that would ever recommend this as a way to do it. They are very dangerous."

cvalh said: "You know, featherish... The point isn't eating disorders, but if someone comes to this board with an eating disorder, seeing what we have to say might help them.
Overeating is a disorder, and we talk about that all the time, and how to control that urge. Combatting other eating disorders is a part of a healthy lifestyle too."
UniqueMystique said: "I found this link about eating disorders....thought ya'll might find it interesting with some of the conversations that have taken place on these boards and with Terri Shiavo being in the news so much lately.

spectrachic311 said: "cvalh makes an interesting point...there are MANY types of eating disorders (not just anorexia and bulimia) and finding the way to eat normally is a challenge for those suffering from overeating as well as those with an eating disorder. Problematic eating is not like a cocaine addiction or a gambling addiction...where you can stop and never go back. You HAVE to eat. So the challenge remains for those of us with food addictions/food problems...you have to control the food and not let the food control you."
