In recent years people with eating disorders have begun to discuss their experiences on the Internet. While attempts to explain eating disorders in contemporary society have concentrated on their etiology as problems of individuals, the family or society, in their postings on the Internet, some people who have recovered discuss eating disorders as “eating problems” caused by excessively strict dieting. Further, they believe they overcame their disorders by consuming regular meals. The present research attempts to shed light on both the conditions surrounding sufferers of eating disorders and the direction that some have taken to affect their recovery. In this article I focus on the narratives of two people who have recovered from bulimia nervosa. I examine why they refer to their illness as an eating problem, rather than accepting conventional explanations. Further, I consider what they are trying to achieve in doing so. Two results were obtained. First, it was determined that, though both of the subjects of this research were familiar with the conventional etiological explanations of eating disorders, they both also criticize the individual, familial and societal interpretations for providing no solution. Second, it became clear, through narratives explaining eating disorders as eating problems that can be solved via eating exercises, that the subjects were attempting to reclaim the means of ending their binging and regurgitation and, more broadly, the right to solve their own problems.
