Can you be thin and have a binge eating disorder?

Yes. People of all sizes can have a eating disorder. Many thin people have faster metabolisms. I know many people who binge or eat a lot and gain no weight at all.

Yes. Eating disorders do not depend on the person's weight or body. If you have one, you have one. That is valid at every size and shape.

Yes. Any body type can have this. Being thin and having a binge eating disorder is something that is normal and can happen a lot to people who have really high metabolisms and a lot of people say that by age and all you'll gain the weight and all. I wouldn't worry too much about that because you know your body best. The best advice I can give for you on that is with the binge eating, just eat things that taste good for you but are also healthy for you. It might help with the eating problem (if it bothers you at all in the first place) and you should be good. But, there;s nothing wrong with that. Food is good for you and you need to eat, so I wouldn't worry. But, if you are worried and think it is a problem, you can see someone like a doctor or a person who know things about diets and health with food and you can talk with them. Good luck to you!

Yes. You can be thin and have a binge eating disorder. It is based on the amount of food you eat and why, not your weight.

Eating disorders come in all shapes and forms. If you believe you may be struggling with an eating disorder, It's best to let your parents and doctor know before it progresses into something more extreme. To answer your question, yes, any person, even someone who is thin can develop a Binge Eating Disorder.

Often, weight had little to do with an ED. Personally, I suffered from a form of anorexia as a thin person, but any body type can suffer from an ED. Your size or figure never invalidates an illness. If you suspect you have BED, you should see a professional and get help. Being healthy is more important than looking a certain way. You should feel comfortable and safe in your body.

Yes, our bodies work very differently. Sone people have a faster metabolism which helps them lose excessive food before it becomes fat in the body. It is helpful to remember that all eating disorders come in different shapes and weights

Yes! Eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes. If you feel that you (or someone you know) might be suffering from the symptoms of a binge eating disorder, this is likely a reaction to a deeper problem and could be a way to cope. Eating disorders have extremely serious consequences if left untreated and those suffering deserve a life free of control from weight and food. I highly recommend that if an individual feels that they may be suffering from any eating disorder, to seek professional guidance. A good first step is seeing your internal doctor or family doctor or doing some research of treatment facilities on-line to gain an understanding of what lies ahead. There are so many different and legitimate types of treatments for eating disorders! As a survivor of six years, I am also happy to be an active listener when you feel triggered to obey to your eating disorder.

Binge Eating Disorder is characterized by lack of control of eating, followed by disgust and self-hatred for oneself after this period. People with BED will often eat alone, out of shame, will hoard food, and some will frequetly diet without weight loss. It is more common in bigger people, but you can be thin and still have BED. If you are purging afterwards, however, then it may be Bulimia-Nervosa.

Eating Disorders are not about weight or shape, they are about how food affects you and makes you feel. There is no certain weight that determines an eating disorder, but the best way to go about getting a diagnosis is by visiting a doctor. They can answer any questions you may have
