Just curious. I mean i've always been very insecure about my weight and a perfectionist but... are these traits that most people with eds have. why do some people have eating disorders and others don't

The doctor said I lost some weight when I really should be gaining some but how can I do that? Trust me, I eat a lot of junk food but I just can't seem to gain any weight all over. How can I gain weight all over and not just my stomach? By the way I'm 5'2 1/2, weigh 110 and I'm 17. Thanks for your time.

My mom is 67 years old, 5' 5", around 155lb, retired art teacher, playing golf every week, almost-pro-tennis player and all time hiker (mountains). She goes to the gym every morning. I mean EVERY MORNING. And these doctors in Korea told her that she's PARTIALLY OBESE. Thus she belives that she's obese because of the DOCTORS SAID SO!! Well, it's like some kind of brainwash. No wonder in Korea they don't sell any size bigger than 4 for women (that's the borderline of obesity!!) except for the export purporse. Anyway, let's foget about my mom for now. But, once again, what dose it mean, "partially obese"? Maybe I am so outdated, so, please somebody, do please enlighten me.
p.s. they did it again! in one of hte korean tv show, those doctors said that this certain very young female singer, 95lb/ 5'5", is PARTIALLY OBESE(mostly on her face). HA!

my periods are normally regular with cramping ONLY on the first day. but this month i had horrible cramping for an entire week BEFORE i started my period, and the cramps have continued now that it started. today i noticed some large blood clots. i had thought i might be pregnant because my period was a little late, so am i having a miscarriage? or has my period just changed because i have been having more sex than i did in the past?

I had unprotect sex the first time and took morning pills the following morning. 7 days later i had another unprotect sex and took morning pills the following morning. I was told by friends that it was dangerous. Now I am so scared. Can i still have sex with my bf (but this time with condom)? or do we have to wait...and how long? Do I have to do anything else?

Last night I went out with my father, and 2 co-workers, 1 co-worker I picked up (she has no car) and we went to a concert and my co-worker was drunk, she was falling all over the place and had the smell of liquor on her breath. She recently moved here and has no friends or family and she's a single woman. This is the first time I've seen her like this, however I've noticed many bruises, broken blood vessels, and seen other signs that are signs of an alcoholic. The thing that is difficult is that I have to work with her every day. I am concerned for her well being and her job. Also this woman is 20 years older than me. Should I confront her or leave her alone, and if I do confront her, how do I?

Third day of coughing, chest pain/burning and onset of fever. This is my third time getting bronchitis in about 4-5 months, I'm 23 and have smoked cigarettes for a little over a year. (I have decided as of yesterday to quit smoking. Yes, I know I shouldn't be smoking. My mom died of lung cancer last year a the age of 47 and my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with emphysema this year.) I feel like crap and am tired of getting sick and am wondering if anyone thinks I may have chronic bronchitis. (Side note, I am already on an antibiodic Keflex for an unrelated infection. Why would I get bronchitis while I am on this drug since it is supposed to help clear it up?)
