How do you know if you have anorexia?

Answer 1

you know if you are anorex by if you don't have the want to eat ever! not every once in a while. but if you never ever eat for a few days then see your doctor because that's what you have and they will be able to help you get back onto nourishing your body

Answer:1) you look in the mirror and are never satisfied with the way you look, you always think you look fat/ugly and believe that losing weight is the only way to make you thin and beautiful.

2) when you lose weight, you're not satisfied you always think "I need to lose more."

3) you count calories obsessivley. keep a diary of everything you consume.

4) weigh yourself obsessively. (once a week or once a month is normal/healthy. obsession is weighing everyday/more than once a day) and over-react to tiny fluctuations in weight.

5) you constantly feel cold.

6) you have headaches

7) you run short of breath easily.

8) you have an abnormal heart rate.

9) you wear baggy clothes to hide your body, either because you don't want people to know how much weight you've lost, or you think your body looks ugly in everything and you don't want to look at it.

10) you obsess over your reflection. either you are disgusted at yourself and never want to look in the mirror, or you constantly look in the mirror and other reflective surfaces to see what you look like. (and you always think you look fat and ugly)

11) you starve yourself in order to lose weight. most of the time with daily calories of less than 400-500.

12) you think that the doctor recommended weight for someone of your age, height, and stature is too high for you.

13) you think the daily recommended calories for someone of your age and height is way too much for you.
