Anorexia Nervosa, which literally means loss of appetite, even
though people with the eating disorder are usually always hungry
but refuse to eat in fear of getting fat.
when in actuality they are bone thin. this is caused by a
distorted body imagine disorder
which makes them think they are fat when they look in the mirror.
 Anorexia  is a life threatening eating disorder in
which a person starves them selves which then causes excessive
weight loss which can lead to
health problems or even death. The disorder is only diagnosed
when a person weighs 15 percent
less than their normal body weight. There are immense
symptoms and signs that shows if a

They limit their food intake, exercise even when

odd eating habits example cutting foods into tiny pieces and chewing every bit of food a certain
amount of time

my sister ,
that video was quite touching and saddening, all these anorexia problems have been brought to life by these stars and models (not that its their fault sha),

the young generation now think they have to look unhealthily thin to belong, or that they have to do everything possible (that's where anorexia comes in) to look like the girls in the magazines and the models on television.

I was so happy when one of the guests (a star) on "ellen's show" went ahead to explain that all these pictures in the mags are not their real selves, a lot of work is done by the camera man to make them look the way they do

How i wish all these young girls would understand                    , very sad Sad Sad
