If you're not wanting to give it up, then you won't. Why is the whole question of giving it up/not a problem for you then? You can only be for or against it, it's like being "a little bit pregnant" you can't sort of want it a little bit more, any "choice" gets out of your hands. It isn't going to become any easier to give up you know; you're never going to reach a place where "it's time" -- you're just going to become ill and have horrible things done to you. Did you see the NOVA tv show, "Dying to Be Thin?" with the oldest living anorexic?

It's not pretty. She works through enormous pain to live so she can serve as a bad example so other girls don't do what she did.
