**__//Facts about them//__**

 * **__//Anorexia Nervosa//__** - This eating disorder is one in which a person either eats very little or nothing at all. Typically, those with this disorder are very thin and approximately 15% or more below the normal body weight for their specific height.
 * __//**Bulimia Nervosa**//__ - People with bulimia typically binge eat and then purge what they have just eaten. Binge eating is when you consume an uncomfortable amount of food, often leaving a very sick feeling, and purging is a form of self-induced vomiting. Sometimes this vomiting is done through the use of diuretics, laxatives, or excessive exercise. Those with bulimia typically maintain a normal weight.
 * //__**Binge Eating/Compulsive Overeating**__// - Binge eating is a disorder in which someone consumes an excessive amount of food in a typically short period of time. Most people with this disorder are obese and have a history of depression. Also, unlike those with bulimia, compulsive eaters do not purge their food.
