Oh, sorry, bulimia - anorexia, both can be deadly. But my recollection is that it WAS anorexia. And I think her problems with overeating are a little better documented than you seem to indicate.-- For starters, I seem to recall a few Karen-Carpenter-type photos of Terri.

Very rare in both cases. Let's dust off Occam's razor and look for a simple, logical explanation. There is one: domestic violence. It's the commonest cause of injury and death to young females and many thousands of times more likely than death from dietary disorders.

Really? I'd be interested in seeing those.

Her problem was overeating, not undereating. But the worst of it was way back in her high school years, some eight years before her so-called collapse. She conquered her weight problem, partly by going on a Nutra-System diet. Her weight in 1990 was excellent and stable.
