Does my sister have a eating disorder?


She's 17 206 pounds. I weight 115pounds. My sister eats when she has a bad or she's up. She eats when she's pissed. Everytime something goes wrong he runs to food. Is there anything I do can to help her? is this a eating disorder?

Yes, she is a compulsive over eater. There is no difference between this and an anorexic or bulemia. All eating disorders are about hidden feelings that can't be "spoken". They turn to food (or away) because that is the one thing that they can control.

Yes, binging can be a type of eating disorder. The best thing for her to do is to talk to a therapist.

Sit her down and tell her you're worried about her and that you think she should talk to someone about her habits and coping mechanisms.

Let her know that she needs to find other things to help solve her problems other than food. If that doesn't help, maybe make sure the food she's eating is healthy.
