Do you mean then that one can't make any sense out of eating disorders? So is asking, "Why do you want to be thin?" like asking, "Why do you want to hallucinate?"
Does society have nothing to do with eating disorders then? Just like how societal views don't change how people with schizophrenia see the world? Would you say that it's mostly genetics? Is it like OCD, where you can't stop yourself from doing certain things even if they don't make sense?
I didn't write anything about wanting to be anorexic. I don't want to be so thin that my body starts using up my heart muscle as an energy source. I just want to have a normal healthy lower weight.
I've got some disordered thoughts about body image and such (don't most people?), but that doesn't mean I want to be anorexic.
Anyways, I'm glad you're OK now. It sounds like you've had some really rough times.
