- anorexia (being addicted to losing weight, no matter how thin you are)
- bulimia nervosa (being addicted to food, and then trying to get rid of that food as quickly as possible through self-induced vomiting or laxatives)
- and binge eating disorder (an irregular eating pattern characterized by periodically recurring binge eating in which a person overeats significantly).
