So, you know, 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.

Is there a certain personality predisposed to that type A?

Do you think there's any wounds early on in childhood that predispose people?

Meaning they end up with a body morphism and then that brings that attention?

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 and M or, you know, this like, like how would someone get, they, they say, I know nothing about this.

They say it's a control thing and they feel like they got abused and then they can control this.

Right.

So I wonder if there's something, any type of trauma that can happen as a child.

And then, Hey, I can control this aspect of my life because I feel like there's out of control trauma.

So I think it could be both.

You're just scared.

And I get that because I have a great fear of going back to my illness, right?
