Is it possible to have a binge eating disorder but still be skinny?

I believe that it is possible. Instead of binging on that tub of cookie dough ice cream, binge on some celery sticks or carrots.

Absolutely. Binge eating disorder may manifest itself differently in every sufferer. It is possible that some binge eaters will restrict their diets on other days. This may mean that, overall, this person takes in a normal/lower than normal calorific intake leading to undernourishment and low weight/weight loss.

Of course. There doesn't have to be an immediate connection between an eating disorder and weight. Physical appearance isn't always determined by food habits. There's a huge assumption that skinny = ED and that's really not the case. In actual fact, an eating disorder can have a variety of different effects on people's physical appearance. In this case, an ED where the affected binges usually creates the image of someone overweight, but this isn't always the case. Bingers could not eat for weeks on end, then binge, which is potentially extremely damaging and would likely cause weight loss, not weight gain. It's not black and white.

Yes this is still possible, however its important that an eating disorder isnt always related to not being skinny. Maybe reading 7 cups self help guide or talking to a listner could be of help?

It is possible, indeed! It's probably not very common, but your metabolism and your physical activities play a substantial role in your weight as well.

From my personal experience being in the profession a binge eating disorder is covering up from something even deeper. You might still be skinny (I do not see that much), but your mental state and internal state of your body is not in a healthy state.

I think it's probably possible to stay in shape if you eat well most of the time and exercise often.

I dont have the skills to answer this question but I will tell my own experience .I wieght 70 kilos and I eat like a pig every single day!

it depends on the person's metabolism. There are people who binge-eat a lot but don't get fat. So it is possible if you have a fast metabolism

Weather you are thick or thin has a whole multitude of variables and factors. I often felt relief when I use to purge then vomit, but I now understand that my weight had little change as a result, it's about keeping your body healthy and nourished, not simply thick or thin.
