um, i wasn't trying to imply that that 6FT_BEAUTY has an eating disorder. i was actually saying the opposite because it was my opinion that anyajb12 was a little too quick to label her with one. i mentioned the mainstream doctor thing to show how unpleasant it feels to us fasters to be given that label when we are actually pursuing one of the healthiest activities we can do for ourselves.
and i really don't think it matters whether you change your bad eating habits before or after your fast... just so long as you change them, PERIOD. in my opinion, i think it would actually by easier to change them afterwards, because you will be keen to maintain your weight loss.
