Honestly, I view obesity as a behavior problem and anorexia as a mental one. I've known plenty of anorexics and they were all very goal oriented...they wanted to be skinny, so they wouldn't eat. I've never known someone who was obese who was trying to be obese.

This makes the "illnesses" very different to me. I didn't gain 35 lbs this year so far because I'm striving for some unhealthy ideal...I am 250 lbs because I'm too fucking lazy to exercise and eat right, and if I don't do anything to change my lifestyle, this time next year I'll be 300lbs. It will be noones fault but my own, I won't have a mental disorder to blame for it.

Before I get raped for being insensitive in this post, I'm not trying to generalize this to "everyone who is fat is lazy," I am just saying that in my specific case, I am only fat because I am lazy. As soon as I stop being lazy, I will stop being fat.
