Is there a disorder that resembles anorexia nervosa, but is entirely different?

Say, one is nervous of LOSING excess weight, and eats a lot?
I would say the opposite of Anorexia nervosa, but that sounds stupid.

No, such a thing does not exist. The closest thing I can come up with is called ‘reverse anorexia’ – you see this predominantly in males, especially bodybuilders. It is the pervasive feeling of “not being strong enough” and thus having to consistently work out.
