So smoking induced lung cancer isn't a disease?
A disease is a set of characteristics at some level: macroscopic, microscopic, biochemical or genetic (or a mixture of some or all of these) that takes a person greatly outside what is considered normal and which has some form of deleterious effect on mental, physical or social health.
Aetiological factors do not decide whether something is a disease or not. Characteristics manifested do.

I feel you, man, I have been in a similar place, and I think you were actually diagnosable ANA at that height/weight/cal level (I mostly ate 800 cal/day when I was ill though eventually it was down to 200... mm celery and 1 mini bagel a day after a run ). Without lifting and sports and actually caring about performance and the ability to see my body as an instrument and appreciate muscles, I would be so, so lost. I actually am quite afraid right now because I'm injured and it brings up the desire to engage in old behavior patterns as I haven't worked out for a few days.
BTW anorexia really is not about how women/men look or want to look, a lot of it has to do with brain chemistry and self-medication. I really like EDBites.com's perspective & all the articles offered."The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."

girl that is just like that goes to my gym. not that extreme, but she has lost a lot of weight over the years and keeps on going. she drinks loads of coffee (used to see her at a local starbucks all the time), and uses cardio machine while reading. it's sad.
most definitely a mental disease.We're All Gonna Make It
