Ok, How About A Poll?  
Since this group is about eating disorders, how about a quick poll to see how many of us either suffer from or know someone who suffers from an ED.  Just a reminder about abbreviations:  ed=eating disorder, ana=anorexia, mia=bulimia, coe=compulsive over-eating, ed-nos=eating disorder not otherwise specified.  "Not otherwise specified" means that you don't meet all of the requirements for a specific ED. 



View the poll results

1. Do you, or have you ever, suffered from any type of ED (eating disorder)? Or do you know someone who has? (chose all that apply)
I have/had an ED
I know someone who has/had an ED
Neither, I'm here for information and to provide support to others
2. If you have ever had an ED, which one? (chose all that apply)
ana (restricting)
mia (purging)
coe (compulsive over-eating)
ed-nos (see above)
3. Do you believe that ed's are a "lifestyle choice" or an ilness that the person has no control over? Or both?
lifestyle choice
illness
depends on the person, it could be either
