Anorexia can be caused by many different things or factors. Often, it is a compilation of many factors that eventually will manifest themselves or transform into anorexia. Some of those factors are...

*Low self esteem

*Low self body image

*Depression

*BDD (Body Dismorphic Disorder)

*Yo-Yo dieting

*History of other eating disorders

*Family / friends with eating disorders

*Socail / media influence

*OCD

*Dieting gone too far

*Teasing about weight, appearances

I tried being anorexic before, but it only lasted for a few days. Basically, it was because I felt that I wasn't good enough. I wanted to be as pretty as all of the other girls in my school and I thought that if I was prettier then I would also get more respect-that my friends would start inviting me to hang out with them and that kids would stop making fun of me. I've always had a kind of low-self-esteem, so that contributed too. There were some days that for whatever reason I was so depressed that decided that I would stop eating to become a "better person" and I did not care if I were to die in the process since I felt like nobody cared about me anyways. Unfortunately, I am still struggling with this issue, but those were some of my reasons and I'm sure that there are many more people out there that have the same story. Hope this helped :)
