| Hey Xander. My friend, Tammy, has been losing a lot of wieght lately and it always looks like she is never eating. I think she may have an eating disorder. | |

| Well an eating disorder is when a person feels like they need to control what they eat. | |

| Ya. Thats what it looks like is happening to Tammy. What different kinds are there? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Well there is anorexia which is where the person starves themselves and limits what they eat. And there is also bulimia and that is when after they eat they go and throw it back up or to loose weight. | |
