    These are signs that you have anorexia:

    Do you refuse to eat even when friends tell you you're thin?

    Do you fear eating in public or with others?

    Do you have strict "food rules" which, when broken, trigger feelings of guilt, self-hatred or anxiety?

    Do you count calories out of a need for "control"?

    Do you find it hard to concentrate due to intrusive thoughts about eating and food?

    Do you have extreme body weight/shape obsession or dissatisfaction?

    Do you have a history of perfectionism?

    Do you maintain an unhealthy low body weight that compromises normal bodily functions (i.e. menstrual dysfunction, low bone mineral density, prolonged illnesses, injuries)?

    Does anyone else in your family have an eating disorder?
