Anyone can get an eating disorder. Many people with eating disorders may feel like their lives are spiraling out of control and the only thing they can control about their lives are what they put into their stomachs. They have a warped vision of themselves, that they either aren't skinny enough, that they are too fat, when in all actuality they are normal sized or they might even be thin in our standards. They may also be perfectionists and therefore see themselves as "unperfect" and they feel like changing that. Binging is considered an eating disorder and many people with this disorder feel they are causing all the trouble that is affecting them and their lives. Food may be the comfort to them, the one thing that is good in this world of darkness. But in all reality, everyone who suffers from eating disorder all have a different reason or cause.
Biological factors have also been tied to eating disorders, some experts state that if you have a family member that suffered with an eating disorder you are more longer to suffer from one.
