Yep, and the psychological disorders and mental illnesses are just an excuse not to be a productive member of the society. Mate, I’m originally from Eastern Europe and you are reminding me of the communists’ propaganda and brainwashing...  I have had AN for 17 years, currently in recovery (again), relapsed three times. In my case it has nothing to do with body image and thinness (I was at a BMI 21-22 every time and dropped to below 17), but perfectionism and control, i.e. it’s a product of the willpower, not the lack of it. Do you have any idea how much willpower it takes to actually restrict your food intake, to go out and eat a tiny bit of the meal, to calculate all the time how much you can have today, etc.?
