What is the name of the condition like anorexia, but the opposite?

I don’t mean the opposite as in Obesity, I mean like when a big person looks into the mirror and sees themselves as skinny and tiny and perfect. They are morbidly obese but they think they are perfectly gorgeous and wear skimpy clothes. I saw a doco on it a while ago and forgot the condition.

Answer #1

Obesity I think.

Answer #2

bigorexia or muscle dysmorphia which means someone thinks they’re too skinny but they are normal sized

Answer #3

Theres bulmia where u eat too much and then purge.Also another condtion where u eat and dont know when to stop i might look it up

Answer #4

i agree- bulimia would be the opposite

Answer #5

obesity is being over a certain weight (in proportion to your height), it is not a mental disorder

Answer #6

That’s called binge eating, and it isnt when you dont KNOW when to stop, it’s just complusive

Answer #7

Why precisely would it be a condition not to have a problem with your body despite being fat? You (or whomever you watched) are implying that one must be disgusted with a fat body, and not be able to see it as ‘perfect’, or heaven forbid someone fat wear skimpy clothes… How dare they not hide in shame… The ‘condition’ doesnt exist. For the existence of a mental disorder, one has to be either in distress, putting themselves in danger, or must be dysfunctional in some way. Believing you are not disgusting does not meet the criteria. So whatever label the documentary workers chose to use, it’s not an official disorder.

Answer #8

No there is a medical condtion but its rare where people dont send the chemical signal to their brain to say there stomach is full.so you continually feeel hungry and seriously your body doesnt know when to stop
