What is Anorexia?

November 5th, 2005

People with Anorexia Nervosa see themselves as overweight even
though they are dangerously thin. The process of eating becomes an
obsession. Unusual eating habits develop, such as avoiding food and
meals, picking out a few foods and eating these in small quantities,
or carefully weighing and portioning food. People with anorexia may
repeatedly check their body weight, and many engage in other
techniques to control their weight, such as intense and compulsive
exercise, or purging by means of vomiting and abuse of laxatives,
enemas, and diuretics. Girls with anorexia often experience a
delayed onset of their first menstrual period.
