According to the American Psychology Association,eating disorders are abnormal eating habits that can threaten your health or even your life. They include:
1.Anorexia nervosa: Individuals believe they’re fat even when they’re dangerously thin and restrict their eating to the point of starvation.
2.Bulimia nervosa: Individuals eat excessive amounts of food, then purge by making themselves vomit or using laxatives.
3.Binge eating: Individuals have out-of-control eating patterns, but don’t purge.
Eating disorders often evolve from a distorted body image where you perceive parts of your body unlike they really are, or dislike or feel uncomfortable with your own body.
