EDNOS or eating disorder not otherwise specified is the most common. people who do not quite fit the critira for other eating disorders fall into this category. A person who had EDNOS might be at a normal weight but that doesn't mean that this condition should not be taken seriously. if you think you have EDNOS please talk to your doctor or a trusted friend soon
