[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 745672, member: 1550"] Nomad, sounds a lot like they have eating disorders. It runs in families, they are finding out, and it certainly runs in mine! My sis will diet if she is 100 lbs!! She is 5'4 and knows she has an eating disorder. I strongly believe one of her kids is showing an obsessive and restrictive way of eating, thinks ALOT about food (way more than is the norm) and over excercizes. She is very skinny and blogs about all of this. l Three generations. My brother has Crohns and is very thin but who wants to be thin because they are sick and in pain? People with body dysmorphia who believe being skinny, not just thin, is necessary to them. It is even worth pain to them. It is a mental illness. It is not normal to be obsessed with foods, restrictions, being skinny, excerising so much that it impacts your life etc. This is what I am learning from my studying of anorexia and bulemia. Most anorexics love to cook though. For others. Why? They are hungry and obsessed with food and many go into professions that feature food, like cooks and nutrition coaches. Many are vegan which does not mean all vegans have eating disorders but many "recovering" eating disordered people go vegan as they think it is lower calorie. And of course vegans restrict what they eat like anorexics so its a socially accepted way to watch everything you ingest. Almost all the "recoveref" girls on Youtube are still too skinny and vegan. They say vegan makes tjem feel safe. No mention of doing it for animals. Just how they can eat a lot and stay skinny. I have met a few heavier vegans bit suspect they eat pastas and not jist fruit and veggies. Honestly, I am just learning these things. I got interested because it is rampant in my DNA. I am so grateful not to have it. It sounds terrible. Copa, enjoy eating. I make sure I get my normal amount of calories in and always have ice cream for desert. I am NOT going to be those sick women who feel guilty eating good food! Nomad, your sons in laws sound very unhealthy in all areas. Do they not have cake at family weddings????? Gee, crazy! [/QUOTE]
