An eating disorder is a condition. It’s an unhealthy relationship with food. There are more than one type of eating disorders.

The first eating disorder is Anorexia Nervosa. This eating disorder is caused by weightloss, dieting, and exercising. People with this disorder feel that they can be so thin, but continue to consider themselves fat.

The second eating disorder is Bulimia Nervosa. Bulimia is caused by cycles of extreme overeating. This eating disorder is a potentially life threatening eating disorder. People with this condition avoid the weight gain and most commonly means vomiting.

The third eating disorder is a Binge eating disorder. Bing eating disorder is an extreme overeating and feelings of loss of control about eating.

An eating disorder is caused by bullying, low-self esteem, depression, anxiety, or even having trouble handling your emotions. If people who decide to over stuff themselves with food or starve themselves can affect how they can act around others. Some will be very depressed and want to keep to themselves, others just want to cry and be alone all day. For someone to put themselves through this is very sad because you could harm your own body by not eating or not eating the correct amount of food.
