I know someone who thinks she has an eating disorder, but we're not sure if she actually does. She eats regularly and maintains her weight well (Though it wouldn't hurt her to gain several pounds). But she said that she has bulimic thoughts. When she eats a lot, she goes to the bathroom and gags, but doesn't throw up. She eats, but refuses to be over a certain weight. She wants her body to be as close to perfect as possible. We're both kind of worried and just want her to be healthy. Is this an eating disorder?
 
For whatever reason her body is not cooperating with her, from what she has described to you.

Here are some articles that describe what is behind eating disorders,
and some ways to help those who have them:
