It's different things to different people! Some people do it for control, some people do it because of media and peer presure, and some people do it because they don't like themselves. If anyone is going through any eating disorder, or knows someone that is, please seek help before it's too late and you cause yourselves lots of damage! Life is way to important to lose it or lose some of it over the way you weigh!xx

One word--control. It's not about the weight. It's about controlling a part of your life when you feel like the rest is completely out of your hands. And listen to Laurie. It's SO damaging. It can kill you, and it can also make it so you can't have children. Don't do it!!

For some people, like somone I know in my family, they never get over it. It's horrible you can't have children (if ur a girl anyway) it's hard to find someone to marry and people stare at you when you walk down the street. Personally I admire her very much and think that she has very strong will power to do that.

Because they think that it's the best way! You could be the most intelligent person out there but still think that starving youreself is the best way to lose weight! It doesn't just affect one type of person. It's psychological, and becomes like an addiction, and it can take a lifetime to get over it! If anyone out there is thinking about going down that road - PLEASE DON'T! It's SO damaging in SO many ways!
