Wasn't disagreeing on points above Jaysay, does bring the condition to the fore, which is not a bad thing at all, but just general information re. age of sufferers/sex/how they feel, etc., and may help other people's misunderstanding of bulimia ... still don't think will help other bulimics, (as you said); which is what I was trying to say.

The condition could have not been more in the open than when Princess Di. suffered from it.
