When we look in the mirror and our weight does not change after exercise and eating well we resort to doing things against the nature of our bodies. So bulemia and anorexa nervosa traits, binge dieting and other excesses take place because we want to feel 'normal', because society tells us we are not normal. That is a lie.
Congratulations Leslie for speaking out and I just wish you had pictures so we could compare the before and afters. Visuals are always helpful because it provides credibility. Thank you Dr. LaPook for exposing this terrible disease. Good luck Leslie and family.
