What about Anorexia or Bulimia ? Just because it's not a traditional "disease" doesn't mean that it's simply a case of saying "i'm going to lose weight today" I case isn't applicable to everyone in the same way that we all crave different things in our lifestyles.

Some people even experience severe pain if they go without eating for even a matter of hours due to deficiencies in the body; you can't tell me that that's an easy thing to overcome.

Again, its a matter of willpower. It pains me to see these girls ( mainly ) who put themselves through the above. This is more caused by media pressure and the want to be a size "zero"

Over eating is not cause by a wish to look better or media pressure, but a lack of self motivation. Therefore is not directly comparable.
