a Question About Disorders...
Posted: 04-01-05 01:01am

Hello...
I was wondering what kind of disorders exist when it comes to fitness and health...
I already know the obvious ones such as bullemia and anorexia, but I would like to know if there were more and if anyone could suggest resources that I could get more information...
For example, I heard of this one disorder where people (mainly men) work out excessively because they see themselves as small and weak when in actuality they are in fact bulky and muscular...
So if anyone knows the name of that one, it would be great...
Me personally, I dont have any disorders; its that I am doing a paper for a class and this information would be really helpful...
But also, besides that, I would also like to know these things because it was just recently that I have been more health conscious, and I wouldnt want to be eventually caught up in any of these...
Thanks for your help...

Yes there are other eating disorders- exercising excessively (usually for males when they see themselves as little), overeating disorder, night- eating syndrome etc. Sorry no one has replied to you, hope it's not too late for your paper.
