Technically, according to the strict driteria, it is impossible to have BDD if you have an eating disorder.

According to the DSM:

A. Preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance. If a slight physical anomaly is present, the person's concern is markedly excessive.
B. The preoccupation causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
C. The preoccupation is not better accounted for by another mental disorder (e.g., dissatisfaction with body shape and size in Anorexia Nervosa). Source(s): http://www.bddcentral.com/description.ht...
