Quote:
The greatest misnomer is that eating disorders are about being thin. They are not. Disordered eating may be, but a clinical eating disorder is an emotional coping mechanism, a way to gain control or safety when it feels as if everything else is falling apart. But the truth is while you feel like you have control, the eating disorder has usurped your control and ran away with it.........
It's so important to make it clear that eating disorder behavior is in no way a choice.

YOU are CORRECT!!!! The last time I was dealing with anorexia was after a trauma & there was no way I could eat even while in the medical hospital where 3 meals a day were provided & I didn't have to do anything other than ask for any food that I would eat but I couldn't get it down even when it was right there for me to eat without feeling so sick I couldn't even think about eating food.
