Well, 20 years ago I had hoped that I would work myself out of a job. The reason it hasn't happened, I believe, is that few resources have been put into this area. It has been made a problem by a media and a culture that glamorizes some of the behaviours that are symptoms of an eating disorder: overly restrained eating; excessive physical activity; guilt around eating; shame around one's physical appearance; and the mistaken belief that having a thin body is going to provide access to all the good things in life, such as health, wealth, happiness, etc.
