Blind anorexics/bulemics? Why would being blind have an influence on it? I understand it's about image, and if they're blind, they can't see they're fat. But there is always a mental image, blind or not. I'm curious too. Sounds interesting.

That is interesting.
Because when a person has one of those disorders, 1 pound seems like 10 to them.
But if you're blind, how can a warped sense of self image take hold that way?
They'd have to be feeling the areas where they think the fat is, then they'd probably get others opinions on it. So if they're skinny, people will tell them that. Unless they take someones opinion, and assume the direct opposite of that is true?
Very interesting the human mind is, no?

Yager et al, describe the case of a 28 woman, who is blind from age two, anorectic from age 21. Touyz, found an in a woman blind from birth, although neither offered satisfactory explanations from their findings, blindness does not preclude an development and people do not have to see themselves to desire a slimmer physique.
