eating disorder terminology

So, I've had a few people ask me questions about eating disorders, and I figured I'd answer them for all to see. But I realized that before I start, there's terminology that will make no sense to some people. I've lived with it for so long it's second nature, but outside my little mental health community it's gibberish. I also think it's important to get some of these terms and their acronyms out there, because people with eating disorders frequently use the confusing terminology so that "normal" people have no idea what they're talking about. *guilty as charged*
