Anorexia :
Dangerously low body weight - around a bmi of 15 or less I think
Purges up meals in order to stop family conflict around dinner time
Thin hair that falls out and weak nails
Constantly cold - hands/feet can go blue/really white and numb

Susceptable to eye infections (styes) and urinal tract infections like cystitus
They can sometimes binge
Can live on a piece of toast or less in a day - mostly under 200 calories but it differs from anorexic to anorexic
Always tired and they don't have enough energy to do anything they enjoy
Body Dysmorphia
No concentration
Emotional - moody, teary - generally depressed!.!.!.
Drawn, tired, pale face and sometime anemia (lack of red blood cells) and also lack of white bloodcells (which fight off infections)
Bulimia:
Binges and throws up
Avoids eating in public
After eating, goes straight to the toilet or excuses themselves
Bad teeth
Regular changes in weight
Scarred knuckle from making themselves purge
Body Dysmorphia

I'm not a doctor but I'll give my thoughts on this matter!. One does not have to be "diagnosed" as having an eating disorder to validate or negate the presence of such an affliction!. Most that suffer from eating disorders do so to compensate for past experiences in which power was taken from their being!. It is a self defeating way of trying to recapture that sense of self empowerment by means of extreme personal control!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

if u eat to comfort yourself its also classed as an eating disorder, an eating disorder is something you do to control something,
anorexics normally do it to prove they can control something, most people with an eating disorder suffer from some form of depression, which is why they give you anti-depressants to help you overcome the disorder, though some do it because of feeling FAT, but in the end it all becomes a control thing Www@Answer-Health@Com
