It depends on the case weather or not if affects the parents and how much it affects them. In most cases though I'd say the person with the disorder suffers far more.

Bulimics force themselves to purge or throw up the food after they eat. It is not just a bad reaction to food that makes them get sick (like an allergy or food poisoning), they purposefully throw up.
I eat and eat and eat all day whether its healthy foods or not. I sometimes even eat more then my father. HOWEVER, i have yet to become fat. I honestly do not understand how i am not at least three hundred pounds by now. But that is just my body.
Depending on how old you are and also depending on if your a male or a female, #1. you could still be growing and your body is absorbing the foods you eat quickly and turning into energy rather then fat.
#2. Even one day of the week of being active is something that could keep you somewhat in shape, and therefore skinny.
#3. if your looking like a skeleton or exactly like an anorexic person, then a doctor may need to come into the picture. unless one already has. but if you don't look like a skeleton then you should be thankful that you are a naturally skinny person and not someone who will gain two pounds off of one cream filled doughnut. :)
If you haven't had any health problems by now, you probably wont in the future unless you get even more skinnier, which is probably very unlikely.

Answer:
dd ... simply put no. Not if your generally healthy and the reason for your thinness is just because that's the way you've always been. If you've recently lost alot of weight and you just havent been hungry there could be an underlying medical condition resulting in loss of appetite you should see your doctor about this. if its just stress I suggest you think about the things happening in your life and talk to someone you trust if you have a problem.
If your just naturally thin but have no problems eating and arent over exercising then you wont have health problems. Health problems associated with eating disorders are not caused by the low weight or loss of weight its caused by the METHOD of the weight loss/gain/frequent flucations (starvation, excessive exercise, purging [vomiting, laxatives, diuretics, ipecac], and binging) this causes electrolyte imbalances, muscle and fat wasting, bone deterioration, malnutrition that's why people with eating disorder get physically sick, its not just because they are thin (most often they are normal or over weight).
There are many factors and diagnositic steps to an eating disorder. Weight is usually key, and the most impotant factor in diagnosing an eating disorder is weight in terms of BMI (Body Mass Index) and percentage muscle and percentage body fat. A diagnosis for anorexia also requires other symptoms or signs, such as low blood pressure, low heart rate, organ degeneration, hair loss, and a disordered mental state.
Anorexia is not the state of being dangerously slim. It is the state of irrationally wanting to avoid food in order to be slim. It's a personality disorder that hasn't actually got much to do with how fat or not you are and much more to do with how fat you don't want to be. It usually leads to being dangerously slim but that itself is not called anorexia, it's called starvation.
In that case, I think you may yourself already have this problem if you are not just asking this for the sake of education. If you're wondering why I haven't given you an answer to the first part of the question, it's because it differs depending on how much you weigh when you start fasting and how quickly your metabolism reacts. Wikipedia says that the average anorexic person consumes 800 calories a day but there are several documented cases of people fasting for 30 days or more on just water (see Olivia Cohen, David Blaine etc). The heath effects are dramatic and lasting, and many many months or years after the subject may still be overeating to compensate for a greatly increased appetite from excess gall and ghrelin (digestion acids that trigger hunger) in their system and nutrient losses.
Black dog chasing in dream what does it mean?
This dream suggests that the dreamer is running away from trouble. If this is a recurring dream, it indicates that the dreamer is avoiding a problem in real life. It is time to stop running away and face the difficulty directly so it can be resolved.
---- It means that bad luck is chasing you.
Why is an extra caution required when purging data?
Extra caution is required when purging data to prevent unintentional loss of critical information that may be necessary for compliance, legal, or operational purposes. Inadequate data management can lead to regulatory penalties, loss of customer trust, and potential disruptions in business operations. Additionally, once data is purged, it is often irretrievable, making it essential to ensure that the right data is retained and that proper protocols are followed. Careful planning and execution help mitigate risks associated with data loss.
Yes of course you can but only if its smells like stinky moldy cheese

Why does the heart fail when the body is starving?
because there isn't enough fuel to keep it pumping, your body needs energy to do everything it does. if you stopped eating you would be missing out on vital carbohydrates, causing a loss of energy. by the time your heart fails from starvation you would probably not be able to walk more than a few steps.

How can you turn anorexic quickly should you start by starving and then throwing up?
You can not "turn" anorexic, it is a disease not a diet. Please don't even try go down that path and involve yourself in anorexic behaviors. It is not worth it. Do you want to be a walking zombie? I'm not even a stick yet but my hair is falling out my teeth are horrible I have no energy bags under my eyes horrible nails and lots of other things and I'm not even at my goal weight yet. I can hardly make it through training. I almost pass it every time. It is not worth it.
You are beautiful just the way you are and don't let anyway tell you otherwise.
(ps throwing up is more of a bulimic behavior.)
they continue to do it.
If you are 17 years old and 170 pounds how long would you have to starve yourself to lose 50 pounds?
Don't starve yourself! Here's a tip, eat slowly... How? Eat all of your food with chopsticks. Budget your food so that you can only finish after fifteen minutes from the time you started your meal. Eat only three times a day, with the food amounting only to two cups per meal. If you're hungry, and it's not yet time to eat, drink protein or fruit shakes, make it at home, and don't put bags of sugar, put only three in one glass. Or better yet, substitute sugar with honey, so that you can have no limits. One more thing, one glass of water before you eat, drink it slowly. Drink water after four bites of food while you're eating. It's more advisable to substitute water with fruit juices, just make it yourself, don't add sugar, just honey. That's that.. And if you ask, I'm not a doctor, thank you very much... You might lose all that weight for about three weeks or so, less if you exercise. But to be honest, I don't like to exercise. All I can say is that I think you don't need to lose the pounds, what is your height? I'm just fifteen, and I'm from the Philippines...
