> Sorry you have to live with the consequences. That won't happen to me though,Yeah? Guess what? I would have said that, too. Just like I would have said it wouldn't affect my ability to have children. Or that I would never collapse from it. Or that I could lose weight and still be healthy.
Deneb -- I think everyone says some variation of "it won't happen to me." It still does.
Here's something I say when I give talks about Eating Disorders: It's easy to say that your life would be better if you lose weight. In fact, if you lose ten pounds, you'll be the same person, you'll have the same life -- you'll just be hungry.
