You claim to want to dismantle eating disorder stereotypes, but this article perpetuates them. First, whether or not EDs are mental illnesses is contested (see medical sociology, science and technology studies, anthropology, philosophical social constructionism, etc). That’s the dominant narrative, as is the assertion that EDs are about “control.” If this rhetoric lands for you, that’s fine; don’t actively reproduce narrow versions of reality without considering other ones, though.
