Is there a common thread is what I'm asking.

So that's, you're saying that's the difference between, probably the same root.

Yeah.

But, you know, that little nuance determines the bulimic versus the anorexic.

I think so.

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah.

Yeah, and you're more aware of this than I am, so you're more the expert here.

But I would think that that would be the case.

So when we talk about the root of these, what do you think some of the common roots are?

And people do the same thing with calories too.

It's like, oh my gosh, calorie, calorie, calorie.

That's why I believe that calorie counting, fat counting, all that can lead to an addiction that can end up in bulimia or anorexia.

be keep my weight and be healthy is there a certain personality predisposed to that type a you know i think type a is very very much um it's predisposed to a lot of things really do you think it's there's any wounds early on in childhood that predispose people i think so you know meaning they end up with a body morphism or you know and then that brings that attention yeah happened to me yeah you know i think it could happen to a lot of people i i

Yeah, that's why I'm digging, right?

Because I think there's a lot of entry points, meaning causes, right?

And

You know, I mean, I wonder if, you know, any childhood trauma can, you know, end up there because of control.

Yes.

You know, I think of, like, the bizarreness of something like S&M or, you know, this, like, how would someone get... They say... I know nothing about this.
