What is anorexia nervosa?

A serious eating disorder that people (mostly girls but it can happen to guys too) get because they feel that they are too "fat" when usually they're at a healthy, normal weight but are influenced too much by the media's warped idea of what's attractive... (pencil thin, decrepit looking bodies.) The person with this disorder starves themselves, refusing to eat anything at all or only eating small amounts of "safe" low calorie foods. It is extremely harmful to their body and can result in death by starvation if not rectified.

What does "anorexia nervosa" mean?

An eating disorder (and a serious disease) that can either cause death, lasting symptoms or - if you're extremely lucky - nothing whatsoever. Anorexia Nervosa is the disease in which the person with it limits their eating, exercises too often, and the like. It, however, does not consist of binging and purging (e.g. eating a huge meal then puking it up later.). This is called bulimia.

Holy crap, people, get it right. Learn the difference between these two, because they are extremely different.

Also, both of these diseases are extremely hard to "shake off" or get rid of. Even after two years of being "normal" I still have some symptoms, and I still think I'm fat at times, even though it has been two years, almost three, since I had stopped.

The anorexia nervosa caused the girl to go from ninety pounds to eighty in only a few weeks.

Anorexia nervosa - what does it mean?

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) essentially refers to a mental illness affecting both genders, but primarily females, whereby an individual has irregular perceptions of their body image. This causes them to develop extreme trepidation at the prospect of weight gain, dieting, starving themself, frequent exercise and calorie counting which subsequentally gives them what is known as emaciation. It requires inordinate amounts of mental and physical concentration and efforts if one wishes to conquer it, although they never really "conquer" it as it is still in them somewhere. Similarly, people with this eating disorder tend to have a very low body mass index (bmi), usually 16 or lower to the point where they may need a feeding tube. If it gets to the point where it gets below fifteen, without serious treatment, the patient will die, at least it is very feasible!

My friend is suffering from the eating disorder, Anorexia Nervosa.

Anorexia nervosa

Anorexia Nervosa is a deadly disorder/ disease usually
people who really have anorexia nervosa have poor self esteem, similar personality traits, perfectionism in some aspect of their life and is influenced somewhat by pop culture (but not always). If untreated somebody with a serious case of Anorexia Nervosa can and will die.
It's not your choice, and in real cases it's usually a way of coping with somthing in your life/past ! It's hell to get out of. FULL recovery is non existant. Treatment requires cooperation and willingness to participate.

"I don't want to make cookies because the oil from the batter is going to seep through my skin and make me fat!"
"are you crazy? no it won't! that's absoloutely impossible"
"that's what you think fatty!"
*deep voice* anorexia nervosa
