Signs of Eating Disorders


Weight loss is not normal, or healthy, for kids. If you or someone you know is losing weight, you should talk with a parent or trusted adult. If a friend is skipping meals, becomes obsessed with how many calories are in food, or starts exercising all the time, these may be additional signs something is wrong. With bulimia, the signs would be someone who’s spending a lot of money on food, then hiding out to binge and purge.

Because kids with eating disorders feel guilty and depressed, they may start abusing alcohol and drugs, too.
