I agree with you, I really wish we wouldn’t care so much about it. We need to shift the focus, like you said, to what really matters.

It’s sad because once we address this issue without any emotions attached, we will see those results. I don’t get why it’s so hard to just admit that being anorexic and bulimic is just as bad/unhealthy as being obese.

Its ironic that my life decision to puke after every meal is considered so detrimental to my health that I need to be hospitalized (even though it’s not deadly until the end) but If I wanna digest 2-3x the daily recommended amount of calories, that’s my personal decision and you have no right to tell me what to do with my health/body (even though it’s not deadly until the, albeit much later, end). They’re both bad for the individual and either individual would be healthier if they stopped their bad habits.

If we can get over that hurdle, I’m 100% with you that the [individuals version of ideal] weight and good looks will come with that.
