Minx... *soft smile*... thanks for your input...

i guess i am looking at obesity and compulsive over-eating as disease such as alcholism or any other addiction.

i spent over 10 years of my life in the hell of an eating disorder. in my opinion (and many professionals i might add), compulsive over eating is as much of a "disease", "disorder" (or whatever else you want to call it) as any other eating disorder, compulsion, addiction, or the like.

the complete ignorance by people in regards to this subject frankly amazes me. i guess i am realizing that something that is very well known and researched to me, might still be a VERY gray area for many others...
