Eating Disorders

For the safety and well being of our members, we do not allow public content that promotes or encourages Anorexia, Bulimia, or any other type of eating disorder. Alternatively, We do allow people to share their own experiences and journeys around self-image, healthy eating, and body acceptance.

What is Anorexia and Bulimia?

Anorexia is an eating disorder where someone avoids food while maintaining an unhealthy focus on their weight. People with Anorexia can become dangerously underweight and experience intense body dysmorphia.

Bulimia is an eating disorder where someone has recurring episodes of eating a very large amount of food, followed by vomiting or the use of laxatives to prevent weight gain.
