List Of Eating Disorders
Here's the list and a
brief explanation of what each is.

no foods in a bid to shed weight
that she hardly has.
They get quite picky at
foods, checking calories, weighing foods,
undertake excessive exercises to burn fat.
They are thin or too thin for their frame but feel and complain
about how overweight they are.
-Binge
This is excessive food consumption and more than enough times per day.
The victim has as insatiable appetite for foods.
Food is synonymous with joy to them.
The more they eat, the happier they feel.
Compulsive eaters, you call them.
Bingers are usually obese or nearly so.
-Bulimia
They overeat but feel uncomfortable after eating.
Reason is that they are weight conscious. So after enjoying
the eating program, they devise abnormal ways to get rid of the food.
They use any or all of the three methods: throwing up by inserting
finger into their throat, use of laxatives or enema to force a purge,
or excessive workouts.
-Pica
This is not very common.

metals, wood, plastics and
the like.
