Liz, I was not generalizing. I was questioning. I want to know why we keep doing this. Did you read the links I posted by the other members? We all talk about throwing out our scale, but I don't think anyone ever has.

These support forums are frought with members with eating disorders, histories of ED, and unhealthy body images. My post was not directed at you, or anyone, in particular.

Ruth, Yes, I was asking - those reading as well as myself. Thanks for making this more interesting
