Certainly. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by a distorted body image, low body weight, and an obsesive fear of gaining weight. One characteristic of most disease-related obsessions is that the obsessed one often does not recognize the obsession, but believes he or she is applying a valid view of reality. While others may suspect anorexia nervosa in a freind or acquaintance, it is possible that other causes are at work. Such suspicions should be referred to experts for complete diagnosis. Non-experts acting on such suspicions can be as damaging as the suspected disease in some cases.
Most eating disorders don't start out that way, so yes, it is possible. Usually, a person with an eating disorder just wants to lose a few pounds, but that isn't enough, so they want to lose a few more. By the time you realize you have an eating disorder, you've lost a drastic amount of weight. Another scenerio is a situation that I'm very familiar with; when I was in high school, I was on ADD medication for a short period of time. I didn't like being a jittery during the day, so I stopped taking it about 3 months after starting. I didn't realize that I had stopped eating breakfast and usually didn't eat lunch. When I stopped taking the medicine, my eating habits stayed the same. Then I got a part time job and started working from 4-10, 5 nights a week. In about 5 months total I had lost 70 pounds. I didn't even realize how bad I looked until after graduation and I went back to a normal weight, when I was looking at prom pictures. I wasn't meaning to be (basically) anorexic, I wasn't even trying to lose weight-it just kind of happened. But everything is normal now.
That can't really be possible. You have to not be anorexic anymore.
Yes, you can get your sims (sims3) anorexic, you can look on YouTube how, i don't know.. Sorry, but it is very possible.
It is possible that she is both anorexic and bulimic.
um, well, not really cuz if you dont have body image problems, then why would you go anorexic?
All I know is that their are eating leaves with the Checkerspot's eggs on there ACCIDENTALLY but i think they are doing it on purpose but that is just me
It is not possible. Height is a genetic thing. And if your friend is still anorexic then tell her/him that he/she can expect to technically shrink due to osteoperosis
I think that celebrities become anorexic, because when they were children, or teens, their hero or heroins were anorexic, and their anorexic now. But maybe it is because they don't think they are skinny enough (which of course every celeb is), and try to go on a regular diet, but end up going anorexic. And regular girls see them doing it, so they go anorexic, and it just passes down generation to generation, and it gets worse and worse each century.
no, but some drugs do induce weight loss.
Men don't diet as often as women do, but it's possible.
if you think your not eating or have a lost in appetite then you probably do... or if your throwing up on purpose then you probably are too... :/
It is very possible. If a person is anorexic or bolemic, they will be very skinny with no muscles or fat.
the purpose of doing an experiment is to discover new things
