Movies about Eating Disorders

It is estimated that 10 million Americans, men and women, suffer from eating disorders. Eating disorders refer to conditions which involve various abnormal eating habits which range from eating too little food to eating enormously large amounts of food. Many people have encountered the two most common eating disorders, bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa. Bulimia nervosa is a condition where an individual eats a lot of food but of which is later vomited so that the person gets rid of the food from their body. Anorexia nervosa, on the other hand, will involve an individual limiting their usual food intake.
