Yes.


How much weight can you lose if you become anorexic?

Too much. Enough that you can die--like my friend.

Anorexic without losing weight?

Impossible, actually. Once you're anorexic you are going to keep losing weight, until you are the most anorexic you can be, and then you'll eventually die. Why would you want to be anorexic without losing weight? Isn't that the whole POINT of anorexia?


What do you do if you feel like your friend might be Anorexic?

Be sure your friend really is Anorexic and watch how they eat. Anorexics eat little; play with their food and place food on their plate so it looks like they are eating a lot. Just because someone is very thin does not mean they are Anorexic and it could be a metabolism problem. Good friends can communicate and be honest with each other so you could talk to your friend and calmly tell them you are concerned about their weight. You may find that your friend eats well, but doesn't pack on the pounds. Generally, Anorexic individuals will not admit they are Anorexic and hide their bad habits of eating very well. If you can't get anywhere with your friend then perhaps talk to their mother about the situation out of concern and tell the mother that this is in the strictest of confidence. If your friend should be Anorexic they need psychological help and, if your friend is not a minor there is not much one can do if the person refuses to go for help.


Can fat people be anorexic I am 13 5 2' and 170 pounds...?

They can be bulimic but not anorexic. Actually, a person can certainly be mentally anorexic regardless of their weight. I believe that weight or BMI should not be so important when diagnosing anorexia. Anyone can be psychologically anorexic.


How can an anorexic return to a normal diet without gaining back all or more of the weight that they had tried so hard to loose?

They can't. When an anorexic person recovers s/he has to return to a "normal" eating pattern. This will make them gain at least some of the weight back. It varries (the amount of weight gained back) based on the person, how much they initially lost, and how much they recover. They would probably be able to return to their ariginal weight (assuming they began at a normal, healthy weight) or return to a healthy weight.


Is there such thing as an anorexic dog or cat?

Cats don't become anorexic like humans can and generally there is a health issue creating it and a cat that is too thin and is eating, but not gaining weight or isn't eating should be taken to a vet to be properly diagnosed as there are too many variables as to why the cat may not be eating or is eating and not gaining proper weight.
