I think depression has a lot to do with eating disorders. Depression can be passed on from parent to child by way of life and what the child sees as normal from their parent.

I myself do not eat because I feel sick afterward. I go several days without eating. I will have a half of a handful of Cheerios every few days. A popsicle for dinner. I love food. I love pizza. I love tacos. I love red meat. It doesn’t matter what I eat- I am sick after. It’s just not worth it. I would rather put my hunger aside.
