Er, sorry, yes. It would have helped if I'd remembered the "C" - "compulsive over-eating disorder". (The main eating disorders are anorexia, bulimia and COED; then there's ED-NOS, "eating disorder - not otherwise specified", which by my understanding covers e.g. an overlap between anorexic and bulimic behaviours. Sorry if I'm teaching my proverbial grandmother to suck eggs.)

I did ponder mentioning fat fetishism but wasn't sure how I'd fit it in (partly because it tends to involve *other people* doing the fetishising, rather than the fat individual, where that's decidedly not the case with anroexia?). Thanks for telling me the term, at any rate :)
