A good description of orthorexia and important distinction between it and anorexia, info on the book (which was a great read at a time when i was at the peak of my severe orthorexia), and link to a wake-up personal story of someone who died due to orthorexia-related illness.

Thanks for your post. I think I get it. Anorexia is starving yourself because you want to be thin. Orthorexia is starving yourself because you want to be clean. Is this right? If so, yes, I can see that happening. It's definitely something to think about. Whatever the case, I'm glad you've recovered. Re: Orthorexia? What draws the line?
