Anorexia is when someone  starves themself. Girls have this disease more then guys. It happens when there body changes and they think they are fat when they're skinny. They are moody and hard to deal with in relationships.  She feels better when she starves herself. Her body weight will drop and her body is in danger.  Binge eating disorder is when a person is always stuffing themselves. People who have this are  stressed, depressed, and anxious. They eat when they're not hurgry, and always are thinking of food. They do this when they are alone.  Food replaces relationships. They try to diet but can't for long and start to binge again. Bulimia is when a persons stuffs 
themselves and tries to get rid of the food. Both men and women can have this, but woman usally have 
it. Low self-esteem can bring this on.  The presure builds up in her and she eats to cope with it. She feels guilty and gets rid of the food by vomiting.  This repeats then she feels the presure. 
They need help when this happens.
