You know what? I came within a month of graduation (with honors) for practical nursing a LONG time ago. I was never able to go back and finish, but my point is, I know the effects of eating disorders also--but like you, it didn't stop me. It still hasn't. I have more of a conscience about what I do, but I still do these things. Knowing what I do medically and about eating disorders can work to be good and bad. Sometimes I find that I will use my knowledge to work for my bad habits, other times I become more aware of the dangers.
