Yes you can. This may occur in several ways either through binging and purging like with bulimia, or if one has a high metabolism and has a difficult time gaining weight. Either way an eating disorder can't be diagnosed by their size. Many overweight people have anorexia many thin people have binge eating disorders.

Yes. You can be thin and have a binge eating disorder. Binge eating is when an individual eats a significant amount of food and then feels guilty about it. A common result of binge eating is purging due to that guilt.

Yes. Body types and eating disorders arent related, a naturally thin person can have a binge eating disorder and naturally large people can have anorexia. Please consult with a therapist or doctor if you suspect you are developing or have developed an eating disorder.

Of course. Eating disorders are a disorder of the mind. Not of the body. That's why people can often hide their problems, for better or for worse.

Yes!!! Everybody's self conscious, no matter what. You can be thin as a stick and still think you need to drop some pounds for many reasons.

Of course! We all have different body types and our metabolisms are never the same as someone else.
