How am I supposed to know?

How can I tell if I have an eating disorder or, not? I am pretty sure I do.

i\'ve been told that AA, if you ask that question to someone, it\'s because the answer is yes. Not being a psychologist or anything, I can not rightly say if that thinking is true or not. What I can do is ask you what makes you think you do?
It\'s easy to know if you have bulimia or not, but as far as other disorders, well, does your weight/body shape greatly fluctuate over time or is it steady?
If it\'s steady, do you find yourself eating signifigantly less than those around you?
These aren\'t yes are no questions, but rather, something to think about. Really look hard at yourself and you\'re eating habits, what do you think you see? What do the people around you say? Somewhere inbetween the two can be the truth.
