In New York if you weigh under 200 pounds and decline so much as a cookie at a co-worker's party women will flock to your side assuring you of your appealing physique. This is how skittish we are about the dangers of anorexia and the pressures of body image.

Anorexia you starve yourself. Bulimia you binge and purge. You eat huge amounts of food until you're sick and then you throw up. And anorexia you just deny yourself. It's about control.
