What Are Some Similarities Between Anorexia and Compulsive Eating Disorder?
Question by Sarah Jo: What are some similarities between anorexia and compulsive eating disorder?
(I am 14, and i weigh 130 lb. I know this is a normal weight for a girl my age, but i exercise allot) I did some research because I believe that I have a compulsive eating disorder. I took several quizzes to find out if I really had this disorder. After taking these quizzes i was told that even though i do not act like i do, i have anorexia. i let food take control of my life and I am obsessed with weight loss, but i still binge. I now believe i have a two eating disorders, compulsive eating disorder,and anorexia, and i would really just like to know some similarities between them. thank you so much.
