I was watching a show the other night about people with anorexia.

Halfway throught he show i started substituting the word MO with anorexic and in my head it's the same condition only in reverse.

(Basically) someone with Anorexia CANNOT feed themselves.Because of something in their mind,they will not put enough food in their bodies to help them live.

(Basically)someone with MO CANNOT eat less food to nourish their bodies.Because of something in their mind,they cannot eat less to help them live.

People feel sad when the see an anorexic,medical people rush and want to help them.There are thousand of centers and treatments for anorexics.People KNOW and ACCEPT that it is totally a brain issue and REAL medical condition.

Why can't people understand that MO IS THE SAME THING?

One eats too little and the other eats too much (quantity or quality)both hurt themselves and cannot help it!

Just because we don't look as fragile and delicate as someone dying of anorexia?

Maybe i am just screwy but i honestly felt they were talking about me but in reverse....

But being banded, and KNOWING I was not hungry, and actually physically full, but still DRIVEN to eat PROVED to me that whatever physical malfunctions I may or may not have, I definitely had a psychological component to my MO.

Just "food" for thought...

You have hit the nail on the head again, Donali. I can't tell you how many times I've done this. Full as can be, but still looking in the frige and pantry for "something". That's sick if anything is.
