Thx for the response --- I think we all agree that this is a dialog without a hope of achieving something except exchange a few views / insights and maybe vent a little.
In this case its an eating disorder, in other cases, people gorge themselves, some people drink, some snort whatever, some cut themselves. I guess the bottom line is that its a way of dealing with a self-perception or whatever you want to call it. But as thinking human beings who are not necessarily driven only by impulse, it is your choice to overcome or not. Every person has the right to choose to continue living with whatever is affliction until they either overcome it or it overcomes them. OK...well, maybe I need to throw in a caveat about situations of physical addictions, but, in general (and I hate to generalize, but i dont' know how else to bring my thoughts to a close), its your choice on the quality of your life. So other people's input is really irrelevant -- but if you know that something is destructive and you keep doing it --- ??? Seems like a life spent in a very frustrating, never-ending cycle. But again, its your life.
I hope I am not making you feel the need to defend yourself or your lifestyle - I dont' mean to do that because, it is your life, regardless of what I think. But the bulk of this thread goes back and forth about "yea but your side does this" and "yea but my side does this" --- don't let arguments like that justify why you are doing or not doing something. In my life if I know I'm doing something that is fucked up and I know its fucked up but I do it anyway - I know it doesn't have to be that way and I sure as hell try to stop that behavior.
My best to you who are caught in this cycle and I also use it to remind myself of the shit I do that is similar (in compulsive, non-constructive behavior). So I can be honest with myself about it and what I intend to do about it.
