No, not necessarily. Unfortunately, Obesity and Anorexia are common eating disorders. Both can be treated medically by a licensed medical professional.

Check the link to National Eating Disorders Association.

If you believe you have an eating disorder, seek immediate medical attention before it becomes too overwhelming and out of control.
