[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people who do this have had disordered eating their whole lives and so it’s instinctual to them, and it makes them very anxious not to do it. I’ve known 75 year old women who restrict. It’s pretty sad, and not healthy. I am basically on a half-hearted diet most of the time, which means I keep myself at a BMI just under official overweight. Getting myself to “thin” would take an eating disorder. No thanks. [/quote] My mother is a 76-year-old who still severely restricts her diet, and exercises relentlessly. No wonder all her kids (even my brother) have body image issues… It makes me sad. But also angers me that she will still comment on my intake. I do watch how much I eat because I love to use my body in various active pursuits, and using my body when it is heavy is much harder. I also love to bake, cook, and eat; I’m thin-ish, but haven’t been skinny in a decade. At 50, it feels ok.[/quote]
