What makes people have eating disorders? Millions, and millions of people suffer through eating disorders, but what causes it? Is it society; is it their friends, or their boyfriends or girlfriends? Everybody wants to have a great body in mint condition who wouldn't one. I know for a fact everybody diets or at least tries to; now do they have an eating disorder no? So what causes people to go to the extreme point where a psychologist plays a role or being hospitalized? I feel once I see I begin to gain weight I do being to diet, but then I stop. Bulimics through up, anorexics don't eat what's the point, there is not point exactly there is nothing to be achieved nothing to win. I think people who have eating disorders are people who have weak minds, and they need to get a grip on themselves and take control. I would be to scared not to eat, I mean think about all the damage you are doing to your body, don't you want to live. Its so dumb to have an eating disorder because like I said before there is no goal to achieve; weak minds might feel there is to be skinny but when does being skinny get taken to far? Weak minds might go as far as death to be as skinny as they want, there is something to think about .
