Is it true...?!?!?

Question

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?

Answer 1

YES, because an eating disorder like anorexia, bulimia or any of the other versions (excessive exercise, laxatives) are all a state of mind. it doesnt matter if you are a healthy weight or on your way to being emaciated, its a mental disorder linked to body image. if its not taken care of through counseling and building up of self esteem it WILL get to the point of where u are scarily thin, but u have the actual eating disorder way before that.

Answer 2

You may have a healthy weight now, but later on if you keep doing this to your body it will become a disorder. Love yourself,
eat right, exercise your normal time, and do get a good nights
sleep.

Answer 3

Absolutely, they are exhibiting the signs of an eating disorder. Many buliemics exhibit health weight but are obviously symoptomatic of an ED.

Answer 4

Yes, because what you described is not healthy and not how normal people eat and exercise.

Answer 5

yes, because eventually you will get to an unhealthy weight. and if you're the one doing all this stuff you just described then i would stop because you are going to have serious health problems when you're older if you don't stop.

Answer 6

I would say that there's a problem.
