- I have gotten a lot of responses suggesting I try alt.support.diet; I
- appreciate that people are trying to be helpful, but it's sort of like
- suggesting that an alcoholic check out "alt.party-hardy" or something.
- I don't want tips on how to diet effectively; I want to deal with my
- body image problems and speak in a forum of people who have similar or
- more serious eating disorders who are trying to *stop* abusing their bodies.
- (Not that I am totally against all dieting or anything, BTW.)
-
- I am really surprised that there is not an "alt.eating-disorders" or
- "alt.anorexia-bulemia" or something. There really should be. Is anybody
- else out there at all interested in such a group?
