If you've come here from The Bunnell Farms, please read this.

I understand that there is a person linking to my blog on his/her site, saying that I and my story are a prime example of carb addiction.

Let me make myself clear. This is a load of BULLSHIT.

I have an eating disorder. This is not merely about some physiological addiction to carbohydrates. My bulimia does not require my binges to be carbs... it can be fat, or protein, or anything else edible for that matter.

Eating disorders are also emotional and social disorders... not just biological, as this person seems to think. Entirely ceasing my carbohydrate intake won't make my emotional issues go away. Frankly, the presumption that no carbohydrates would somehow magically equal no disorder is presumptuous, insulting, and belittling. It is completely invalidating my years of suffering (from various disorders, mind you -- the problems haven't just resulted in an eating disorder), and I am extremely offended by this.

Please go somewhere else to find so-called "proof" for your theories. I refuse to be used as your scapegoat. Arsehole.

I totally agree with you! Whoever is linking to your blog obviously hasn't been in our shoes and should go find something better to do.
