is it more likely for a heavy person of a slim person to have an eating disorder like anorexia?

Question

If a person is heavy are they more likely to become anorexic or is a already slim person more likely? or are they equally at chance?

Answer 1

It is probably at equal chances because if you are bigger than you want to be smaller because you look at yourself being huge.

Answer 2

it depends on the persons life style! i will let you in on a little secret. i have had a kinda eating disorder since birth my espohagus was apart in 3 parts when i was born, the put it back together and since then every 3-6 months i have to have my throat dialated, but in between then i throw up almost everytime i eat, i now weigh 297lbs!!! dont know why it's not like a am over eating hey can barely eat!! but its almost like bulimia if i over exercise with it i might be like those people, skinny. but ii think its in the amount of stress you go trough and how people see you and treat you that if you become either on the eating disorder track. i dont believe you have to be either heavy or skinny to have an disorder. hope everythings okay your way..

Answer 3

equal chances, while you may not be able to tell that a heavier person has a eating disorder the problem does exsist.
