I agree, I don’t think control is sexy. But when I was younger I used to respect people who were disciplined and assumed they were in control of their body/health/work, etc. Now I can appreciate someone going to town on a bowl of ice cream, but I used to think the person was asking for trouble. Perhaps others were never envious of my discipline, but I wanted them to be– maybe because I just wanted to be in control of my own body and health. I think attempting to have control over your body/health is a big issue for people with EDs.
