"And these [Eating disorder] behaviors are very often done under the guise of being healthy. So the third thing I look at is how much did the behaviors and or the thoughts interfere with daily living? Can the person enjoy going out to eat with a friend, or do they ever skip a party or a class because they just have to exercise? And very often, eating disorders begin as attempts to lose a few pounds, to get in better shape, or to eat healthier, a really common starting point. And then at some point, those good intentions take on a mind of their own and begin to run the show. "- Jan Courtney
