What is anorexia to you?

a constant worry on your head, i have to plan what i eat before i go to bed ready for the next day! im terrified of going over 500 calories!... but oh well ... thinking thin has got the best of me ... boyfriend and mum try and shove food down my throat but ofcourse it 'naturally' comes up again

Anorexia is a serious medical condition, and doesn't just have to do with food. A lot of it is psychological. It's definitely not a lifestyle like some people seem to think it is. The link below provides the diagnostic criteria as listed in the DSM-IV.

anorexia to me is when girls think they need to look a certain way and just stop eating and it gets to a point when they get super thin and sick looking

a condition where the body is stimulated or trained to repel food,in which if not diagnosed and treated early will lead to death..

An obsession and mental health issue that should not be in this forum.
