I recently stumbled upon fitness tik tok, and the sheer number of people admitting to engorging themselves one week then absolutely starving themselves another is really wild. Supposedly the goal is to get "cut", but it really feels like what wrestlers used to do in my high school lol
its a little bit 'a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isnt a square' sort of thing, because it absolutely can be an eating disorder but I dont think it automatically is.
