eating disorders

ok eatimng dioreders is bad in the sense of its hareming your body, some people get to the stage were they are obese and eat, eat, eat to comfort themselbves, whereas other poeple just simply stop eating at all and become anarexic.

i understand why peole may do tyhis as it has phycological issues but then on the other hand i dont understand it as why would peole want to this to themselves ansd harm ythemselves.
