Yes, very carefully. If you are recovered, and have your doctor's ok, then you can join. If you are in recovery, then no, you should not join.
Will WW check on you? No, of course not - how would they know if you have an eating disorder?
As for people who say that WW is only for obese and fat people, they've never been a part of WW. I joined to lose 10-15 pounds, and I did that plus some more. I'm now down to a size 2 and am on what WW calls "Maintenance" where I stabilize my weight where I am. I'm a recovered bulimic, and it's been over 9 years since I've been recovered.
For people who believe that anorexics and bulimics can't be overweight, that's also untrue. Anyone, regardless of weight, can develop an eating disorder. Anyone that has had an ED will tell you it's not about weight, or food, or even losing weight - it's about control, emotions, and comfort. That's one of the reasons that a lot of us also cut, or self-mutilate, or do other self-destructive behavior.
Only join if you're certain you are healthy enough to be... healthy. Otherwise, wait.
