I am not at all sure that WW could help someone with an eating disorder, mainly because just being on the program forces you to think about food, eating, points (or calories) all the time. And I suppose if someone had a pre-disposition to an E.D. then WW might bring it out. I have had some personal experience with E.D.s and sometimes I struggle to find a balance in following the program. When I was at my goal weight I was very compulsive about how much I ate, my exercise, etc. On the other hand, when I am "freaking" about having eaten too many points, having it in black & white in my journal calms me down.
