That's it, having control over what you are eating, that was the bit that helped a lot.

Appreciate the advice. It's the restricting of foods which she hates and says can cause her to binge, hence why I basically told her the science of weight/fat loss. I think if I start saying, dont eat that croissant - eat this chicken breast, then I'd be the controlling *kitten*, the people in this forum think I am.

It was an accident if thats how it seemed. The eating disorder is pretty specific, basically, she got anxious when she didn't know if a food was going to make her put on weight, so she thought if all she ate all day was one chocolate bar - she would gain weight, because 'chocolate is bad' according to the magazines.

To all of the pessimists on this forum - I am not trying to get her to do anything, she had a eating disorder consisting of getting extremely anxious when eating as she didnt know if it would make her gain weight, she was extreme dieting to lose weight.
