They stop eating altogether or just partly in the hope that it they will become more attractive. Unfortunately it is very bad for you. They tend to find it difficult to stop, their periods stop and they can get very weak and ill.
AnswerAnorexics see themselves as over-weight, but, it's actually a way to control their life because no one can make them eat. They may have had a life of too many restrictions and feel suffocated that everyone is telling them what to do. It's generally psychological, but I do believe it's not always a choice and I think science will find out it's a short circuit in the brain. Already they are finding there is something in the brain that can make some people obese.
Anorexics DO NOT eat protein (thus, the brain and other organs suffer from the lack of protein.) They will water down juices (not getting enough vitamin C or other vitamins they need), will eat mostly small bite sized pieces of veggies, fruits, salads and spread it around on their plate to make it look like more. They often love to cook for others, but seldom will eat much themselves. They will try any distraction they can so others won't notice they aren't eating much.
The beginning of the weight lossisn't too bad and the Anorexic feels they are losing the weight they want, but unfortunately, the habit has set in and enough becomes not enough. Soon the body starts to eat away at itself, the heart, lungs and other organs fail (mainly the kidneys and heart and it can lead to heart attacks.) Anorexia without treatment leads to death!
I wouldn't advise it. Period. Nor am I going to help you kill yourself.
