Anorexia - & their thought cause's?

I have just finished reading a couple of books and would like to share with you what I come across.

Anorexia - Trying to control your life by denying yourself nourishment. Extreme anger, hatred and rejection of self. Belief in self-punishment. An unhappy childhood, painful family life. Denial of joy and fun. Feeling like you don't belong. Inability to communicate and deal with your fears. Wasting away. Inna Segal

Anorexia - Not understanding that you are living other peoples standards. You are not using your power to be free and not be restricted by other peoples ideas. Not getting your food needs leads to trouble on your uterus. You need the spiritual understanding of knowing yourself and start maturing to love yourself. You do not know how to love yourself and be yourself, thus your soul wants to leave. (self-destruction) Annette Noontil

Anorexia - is denying the self life, an extreme form of self-hatred. What is going on in your life that is so awful that you want to get out completely? Self-hatred is only hating a thought you have about yourself. Thoughts can be changed. What is so terrible about you? Were you reared in a critical family? Did you have critical teachers? Did your early religious training tell you that you were "not good enough" as you are? So often we try to find reasons that "make sense to us" for why we are not loved and accepted just as we are. Because of the fashion industry's obsession with slenderness, many women who have as their main messages, "I am not good enough; what's the use," will use their bodies as a focal point for self-hatred. Nothing works from the outside of the body. Self-approval and self-acceptance are the keys. Louise Hay.

New thought pattern or affirmation (by Louise Hay) to be repeated over & over for around 3 months.

"It is safe to be me. I am wonderful just as I am. I choose to live. I choose joy and self-acceptance."

Sounds to me like self-hate is the culprit here? Any thoughts?
