The matter of "Binge Eating Disorder" So I like to reason things and often drift off on theories... Last night I was browsing and found the ED of FPH which, at some point, stated that child abuse can make... people... fat. Ok. That was a new for me so I stopped to think: I have been told that child abuse CAN provoke anorexia and bulimia. These are eating disorders.  At the same time, a lot of fat activists claim to suffer from Binge Eating Disorder (BED) which is a psychological eating disorder that... makes you eat a lot (IMO it's a coping mechanism more than a disorder - like it happened with the Whales (UK) fattest girl: she ate until she was no longer sad when she was 6. BUT ok I'm no psychiatrist so I'll just roll with it) On YT there are vlogs of said sufferers claiming they ate about 5000 Cal on a day because of having BED  So they're AWARE of eating a lot! But they just CANNOT control themselves because of that disorder. ... so it basically made me think: shouldnt these people be inpatients in treatment clinics? Or have some sort of treatment? Like it happens when you're anorexic and/or bulimic, suicidal etc. It only makes sense to do that with people who have BED - they're killing themselves as much as the girls with a BMI of 13.  You don't encourage the anorexic girl to eat less so why support the FA tumblrina when she eats two cupcakes at once? It's common sense, right. Idk, just food for thought and trying to reason things. Would you support this idea (granted its efficacy of course!)? Also I think I just inserted two to three fat puns throughout this post lol try to find at least two!
