“Eating disorders are actually a diagnosis from your doctor based on very specific things,” she says.

“Whether you’ve ever emotionally ate, whether you were bored, or happy, or sad, or depressed, if you have ever felt guilty about eating something, if you have ever tried a diet for extreme weight loss,” she says. “So there is disordered eating in probably everyone that you know to a certain degree.”
