One of the “themes” running through most eating disorders is a general dislike of and disdain for one’s body. Certainly, this stems from psychological issues; eating disorders are not the fault of the body. However, the body ultimately pays the price.

As I’ve discussed here before, I enjoy occasionally watching shows on addiction and intervention. And I always think to myself, “Am I an addict, too?” (The answer, by the way, is “yes”.)
I think all of us who have difficulties with eating disorders are addicted in some way to some thing(s). But is there a way […]
