This needs to be said: Anorexia and bulimia are not diseases. Refusing to eat food and purposeful vomiting is not any form of sickness, but are very extreme examples for always needing attention. People have got a lot of nerve wasting food in that manner when people in other countries have to starve because They Have No Food! If you have some sort of rare virus that makes it intolerable for your digestive system to decompose the food particles in your stomachache, thus resulting in not having a choice between starving or puking, then that would qualify as a disease because you can't control what happens to you.
Spitting your dinner into your napkin because some skinny cheerleader in high school called you fat, however, is—in no form—a disease. That’s not to say nothing’s wrong with you, because something definitely is. You are mentally unstable and should be cared for in a professional medical environment to determine how to prevent you from living with these delusions of grandeur. Being fat is not the worst thing in the world that you have to starve yourself over it. How about living on the streets, being abused by your parents, or—get this—no food to eat. Starving, now there's a reason to stop eating.
