You don't "get" an eating disorder like you do a cold. It is a condition that is psychological in nature and the eating disorder is a symptom of deeper feelings. Although some people are born with eating disorders, it can be triggered by stressful events in you life such as depression or little things like being called 'fat' or 'too skinny', it is a desire to change your appearance to greater extents. I also discovered from my parents that I developed an eating disorder around the time that I was sent to a nusery with abusive carers. At young ages it is possible for it to be triggered by someone around you dieting or being fussy with their food.
