Great reasoning! And I think the reason I loved this book so much was because It was so factual about the disease and it wasn't just some book that tread lightly on the situation. It was hard hitting and allowed you to know exactly what an eating disorder can do to you.
I know first hand how destructive they can be.
Also, eating disorders aren't a disease. It has more to with mental disorders and for some, like myself, it can be a way to cope. Kind of like cutting except it doesn't leave scars on your wrists or thighs.
