I think people are just misinformed about EDs. All the media coverage shows these stick thin women as having an ED, so people just assume: ED=thin. I think that any doctor that thinks that you should be thin to have an ED is an idiot. I mean, aren't they supposed to teach you that kind of stuff in medical school?! My best friend fought belemia for a while, she was overweight, so you can tell from myself and other people posting that that sterotype is just stupid, that and I think people get it confused w/annorexia. It's just people being ignorant, it's not uncommon at all.
