eh. i don't have an eating disorder but i'm pretty much constantly on a diet. i suffer from headaches and general shittyness daily but it's something i just work through. i am hungry and i do get cravings, but i find ways to distract myself and keep busy, or i drink lots and lots of water. or i exercise. i feel the shitty physical effects of not eating a great deal but i see the physical effects too and that's nice. my body has also gotten used to what i'm putting into it now so it's not so bad, the worst is hunger. as i said, i haven't got an eating disorder, but i would imagine that it's not really about "maintaining" the disorder when it becomes a way of life that cannot be changed.
i suppose it all depends on how much someone with an eating disorder is taking in.

Its like with a drug addict, Do you think they enjoy stabbing themselves with needles...no it is the rush that comes with it. Normally anorexics do it in order to be skinny and that is there motivation. For bulimics losing weight is a motivation as is the fact that when you vomit youre body emits dopamine to help you feel better and done enough times can give you a high.
