i disagree with the either for or against statement ( no disrespect perna). i so wanted help to get better was willing to try anything. i was sick and tired of being so unwell and hated anorexia but when it came to the crunch and time to get help i got scared really scared. it was safer easier to stay sick then face the huge mountain of recovery. the mind plays funny tricks on you when you deprive it of nutrition for so long.
