What are eating disorders?

Is it possible that you are currently dealing with an eating disorder?

There are three types of eating disorders:

1. Anorexia Nervosa - too much weight loss because of constant dieting and trying to be thin.

2. Bulimia Nervosa - a pattern of binge eating (rapidly eating food in one sitting) followed by purging (ridding the body of food). Purging can involve vomiting, abusing laxatives and/or diuretics, an extreme amount of exercising and/or fasting (not eating at all).

3. Binge Eating Disorder involves out-of-control eating, usually in secret, and without purging afterward.
