Eating disorder:
A fucking bitch of a disorder that ruins your life and relationships 🥲👍.
NB: everyone has different eating disorder experiences. You don't have to be really skinny or overweight to have n eating disorder.
What are the types of eating disorder?
ANOREXIA NERVOSA-
When you try to keep your weight as low as possible by not eating, doing lots of exercise or both!
BULIMIA-
when you sometimes lose control and eat a lot of food in a very short amount of time (binging) and are then deliberately sick, use laxatives (medication to help you poo), restrict what you eat, or do too much exercise to try to stop yourself gaining weight.
BINGE EATING DISORDER-
when you regularly lose control of your eating, eat large portions of food all at once until you feel uncomfortably full, and are then often upset or guilty.

Anna: 'What type?'
Lily: 'BULIMIA'
A disorder where an individual eats an excessive amount of food in a short period of time and during these episodes feels as if they have no control. A lot of people describe it as a compulsion, binge eating disorder is an illness which is often overlooked and even ignored. It is a lot like bulimia but the individual doesnt participate in activities to 'rid themselves' of the food. This does not mean they don't feel guilt or regret.
