Re: Fasting to Stop Compulsive Overeating (progress!)

I would generally consider the desire to control the body, as opposed to feel it and respect it, a route that promises no good. But as the way to evidence to yourself the limits of a route is most often to take it to the end, I can respect those that are going that route as it's their personal journey. The very idea of labeling something as pathological is flawed.
Still, I can't see how you can separate these two psychological forces, the need for control over the body and compulsive eating, as it seems to me it's the two expressions of the same phenomenon, control creates rebellion, quite inevitably, and I would say, that rebellion is life-force that doesn't want to be constricted into a design, so it's a good thing, it's beautiful, although surely not in the eyes of the controller.
