Edited: spellcheck flags "donut." "Doughnut"? No problem.

some of the women are obsessed with exercise in conjunction with healthy eating. They also happen to be obsessed with looking younger than they are.

some kind of kinky foot fetish involving tying and binding.

I didn't EVEN want to google it!

and when I see hospital, medical waiting rooms - I see a lot of 'puff pastries' , and other after effects, and people looking too old before their 'time'. . . 'and so it goes . . .'

The older I get, the healthier my diet gets. I see it as a great thing.

We're not talking about people eating well-rounded diets with plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods, excessive sugar, and trans-fats. We're talking about people (you surely must know some) who take things to ridiculous extremes, such as eliminating gluten (which is actually beneficial to health and should only be avoided by those with celiac disease) and following every woo-food claim that comes out, regardless of veracity. They think every ache or pain or other bodily function can be "fixed" by eating certain things and not eating others. They think they are extending their lives.

It can be bad not only because there are no health benefits (and sometimes it has negative health results), but because they are so obsessed with their food that it becomes a an annoyance and burden to others. They talk about it constantly, and you honestly can't invite them to dinner without going crazy yourself.

If you have had to deal with a real orthorexic person, you'd agree that it's a form of illness, like anorexia or excessive eating.

Who keep trying different "cleanses." They take them at the same time and spend most of the next two days in the bathroom. The rest of us pick up the slack.
