Though technically, by definition, over exercising isn't an 'eating' disorder, it can be severely damaging to your body to overexercise it. Also, if you are overexercising so much that you don't stop and take time to eat, then it becomes an eating disorder.

∙ 14y agoYES it is considered an eating disorder. Overeating is as bad for you as under eating. If you over eat your body can function up to its full potential due to the systems shutting down or they are unable to keep up with everything dumped in the body. It depends on what you consider over eating, though. If what this person is doing is eating an obscene (to you) amount of food such as fruits, vegetables, etc. then that would not be considered over eating unless they are suffering from a specific condition of which there are far too many to mention in this one post.

How can a teen improve eating disorders?
The first step to take is talking to an adult about the eating disorder. Then, the adult can take action by finding a nutritionist or talking to the teen, so the teen can get over the disorder. It's not usually easy to get over an eating disorder, since it alters the mind's way of thinking. If the teen wants to get over the disorder him- or herself, he or she can try to forget about the food he or she is eating, and as long as the person is eating healthy food it might be possible to maintain his or her weight and get over the disorder. This strategy is not easy, so it's better to talk to an adult.
