it depends on which one you have.....
there are several
most common ones are anorexia and bulimia
an anorexic person has their life warped around not eating and how to burn calories and losing weight. it becomes their number one priority. to be diagnosed, a person must be at least 15% underweight, have an intense fear of becoming fat, feels overweight when really not, refuses to maintain a normal body weight
a bulimic is someone who binges and purges. they eat a bunch of food and feel out of control about it, and then purge it by fasting, restricting, vomiting, over exericing, using laxatives. to be diagnosed, a person must engage in binge and purge sessions on average twice a week, for over a course of at least 3 months.

when a person starves themselves because they think they are overweight-anorexic. or a person who eats and then throws up afterwarrds to avoid gaining weight is a bulemic.

Don't eat under 1200 calories a day.
You need calories for basic bodily functions.
Eating disorders could be characterized as slow and deliberate torture. Resulting in loss of self-esteem, self-respect, damage to organs and perhaps death, a form of suicide rather, if not stopped and rectified immediately.

I think the definition of an eatting disorder is either
You don't eat, eat very little, or exercize a TON even though you have not ate anything(anorexia) or
You eat normal but throw up right afterward or take laxatives or exercize a TON to get all the food and calories out of your body (bulimia)
I think both need to contiune for a few weeks before its an eatting disorder
Also if you have an eatting disorder you will always think you are fat no matter what anyone tells you and no matter how thin you get!!
