«The maximum endurance on a low-calorie diet program for a person suffering from an eating disorder is on average two months. The next step is to stop the diet and quickly regain the same or even more weight than before starting the specific diet. With this tactic, every two months they stop the diet or engage again with some new magical slimming method.

This is not related to a lack of strong will but to the disorganization of the body's natural defense mechanisms. It is not because, after two months, the motivation for further slimming may have ceased, but because the magical keys that would lock the beast of bulimia in its cage have been lost. The beast will always be there, every day and every hour.

Every time a meal is missed or every time they want to eat something more than what the diet recommends, it grows behind their back, waiting for the first moment of weakness to devour them. If bulimia is handled recklessly, if one does not learn how to manage it, if one does not understand the mechanisms and techniques required to tame it, then this beast is very likely to grow old with them and one may end up being just another person who spent their life on failed diets.»
