I'm bulimic (although I sometimes sway towards anorexia), and based on my own experiences, I disagree. I don't find situations where I'm around a lot of fat people remotely triggering, and I never have. I don't avoid fat people or find being around fat people distressing. If anything, I find being surrounded by fat people less distressing than being surrounded by thin people, because I compare myself to thin people.
The causes of anorexia and bulimia are varied and complex. It's not just a matter of being afraid of being fat. Nobody would do this just to be thin, really.
IIN have a theory why there is so many weight problems in America(USA)
