Hi,

i haven't heard of blind anorexics or bullimics, but my personal opinion is that it is possible, weither the subject was born blind or not.

A blind person can't see her body, but can touch it, feel it and be disgusted by it, I think. Even if the blind doesn't know what fat and thin looks like, they know what it is and have heard about the thin thing. Anorexia and bullimia may be caused by deep emotionnal issues, with have nothing to do with what a subject sees.

Maybe i'm right, maybe i'm wrong, I just thought i'd share my thoughts since no one has replied to you here and it's been a while since you posted your message.

I think its possible for someone to be blind and suffer from an eating disorder as many people who suffer from eating disorders are blind to the way they truely look anyway.
I have an eating disorder and its much more of an emotional thing rather then a phycial thing, although I think that situation wouldn't arise very often I do think its very possible.
I'm sorry you have had to wait so long for a reply.
