Some people can't name positive things about themselves.

Of course they can, they just don't believe it.

If you repeat something enough times you will eventually believe it and it will be true about you.

OverTheAir, if someone doesn't believe that they can think of themselves in a positive way, then you're right, they can't. The're incapable of mentally imagining upbeat descriptions of themselves even though they are capible of feeling confident in themselves - they don't know it...yet.

lostwitness, I agree with the thing about the scale just being a number. It's not really something to let consume one's existence. However, an ED also signals that the sufferer is hurting deep down,and through their ED they try and cope with the pain.

I suggest you all read "In Pursuit of Excellence" by Terry Orlick. Good book.
