It depends on what kind of eating disorder you have really. The most recognisable one is however Anorexia. Anorexics you will find look painfully thin, don't eat, expecially not in public and have a strict exericse or diet.
Bulimia is harder to spot as usually they are not to too extremely underwight however quiet thin. Usually you can spot it by, after a person eats they generally disappear or go to a bathroom or something to purge (vomit) or if they binge eat.
Most eating disorders are hard to spot in most people these days as there are so many new 'tricks' to hide it by.

∙ 10y agoIf you suspect a loved one has an eating disorder (or any problem, for that matter), sit them down and tell them, "I love and care about you. Are you okay? I ask because I've seen you (describe what led you to suspect the disorder)..." Have a good talk.
Then, take them to a 12-step meeting for those with eating disorders. Offer to go with them to the meeting or to hang back, whichever they prefer. Just make sure they get there.
The 12 steps programs are ingenious. They really work. Plus, they don't cost an arm and a leg like many (less successful) inpatient programs.
