It might be better for you to do your own research as to the causes of the kind of disorder you are experiencing. For instance, in nursing school the theory with most eating disorders was that when we feel that we have no control in our lives, one of the few things we CAN control is our food. I feel that this is a valid explanation for me. I don't have an eating disorder but I do obsess about my weight. I can make so few choices in my life. For me also, I'm sure, that it is societal pressure to be thin. But the control issue seems truest.
I feel for you.

That's exactly what I feel and what I tell him. It's one of the few things that I can have some control over. But I do understand, in my head, that this is a really serious problem and I could hurt my physical health by losing so much weight. Somewhere in my emotions I still tell myself to lose a little more, just a little more.
