I agree. Multilevel is overkill but then there is this sentence in Martin's reply to me, " The editor at the International Journal of Eating Disorders stated that the journal does not approve of repeated measures ANOVA and requires a Hierarchical Linear Modeling or Mixed Linear Modeling or MANOVA (which is least preferred)."

I agree with David.  Multilevel modeling would seem like overkill with only 2 repeated measures.  Here's a short BMJ Statistics Note you may find helpful, Martin.
