Eating Disorders and Parental Attitudes

[LW75]

If you have had any periods of being anorexic and/or bulemic:

Do you believe your parent's/parents' attitude toward either your shape or you, as a person, may have played any role?

Were you someone who may have had a mother who had extra weight, so you vowed you'd never let that happen to you? Did you have a super-trim mother who didn't seem comfortable with any adolescent waist-thickening you may have had? Did you have parents who criticized you for either your weight, eating habits, or other things?

My parents never let me allow any fast food. Whether its good or bad, they have always taught me not to eat outside. But my girlfriend's parents never even bothered about her eating habits and thus now she is suffering from blood vomiting. I think parents must be responsible and take up this case very seriously.
