There is also binge eating disorder, but I can't remember right now whether that one is official or proposed at this point.

Rhap, I know what you meant too and have similar thoughts. I skip meals and restrict eating, but chocolate is one of my coping mechanisms too, so sometimes I live on nothing but chocolate. My eating isn't good, but between everything I end up maintaining just a few pounds above the ideal for my height. I often think I'd like to be 85 pounds, and I'd like to have liposuction and get my lower ribs removed because I don't like the way they stick out, and if I had plenty of money maybe I would.

I also used to look through the DSM manual and think I probably could develop almost anything in there that I wanted to. I think I could. And yes, there is something wrong if we're thinking that way because if we were okay we wouldn't need to look fo disorders in order to feel better. But we don't need to go looking for more trouble than we already have, do we?
