Can someone be considered to have an eating disorder if they're still a healthy weight? Like where they'd go for a while on one meal a day and excessive exercise, then get away from it, then later on go back to the diet pills excessive exercise and laxatives? But still have a distorted body image all along and always feel depressed once they've eaten food or have eaten more then their set caloric intake?
Is that actually considered an eating disorder? gain...if they person is considered to be a "healthy" weight?

YES, YOU CAN STILL HAVE A EATING DISORDER EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE OF NORMAL WEIGHT..YOU HAVE A SELF IMAGE PROBLEM ..WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR SELF IN A MIRROR YOU THINK YOU SEE A OVERWEIGHT PERSON WHEN IN FACT THATS NOT TRUE ..YOUR MIND IS PLAYING TRICKS ON YOU!

If it is causing a problem in your life, than it is a disorder.
