Some signs / symptoms (more than 10) of anorexia are...

* Weight loss

* Dry / flaky skin

* Hair loss, discoloration, thinning, and / or loss of "shine"

* Growth of thin, "peach fuzz" hair called Lanugo

* Fainting / Dizziness

* Sensitivity to the cold (more than a normal person should be)

* Refusal to eat

* Constant / Intense exercising

* Having odd food rituals

* Eating only small portions of low-cal, "safe" foods / eating only in the presence of others.

* Low heart rate / blood pressure

* Depression

* Dressing in layres to hide weight loss

* Isolating themselves / having or being more secretive around others

* Becoming defensive over food and weight

Note - These are some general signs. A person who has anorexia may show some or all of these symptoms. A few can come and go, while some may never show up at all. Also, just because a person has one or more of these signs, it does not mean that they specifically have anorexia.
