People who suffer from the eating disorder anorexia do not realize that they lose weight. Therefore no matter how much weight they ve lost they will always perceive themselves as overweigh. In cases where the person is aware that he/she has lost weight, they will most certainly be unhappy about the weight that s lost. Therefore, they will continue with workouts and excessive exercises and diets in hope of losing weight. These people often have very damaging perceptions about the way they look and will live with low self esteem for extended periods of time.
When you suffer from the eating disorder anorexia, this way, not only mental perceptions alter but body functions too get distorted.
The most common symptoms of the eating disorder anorexia include lanugo, loss of hair, losing weight within short periods of time, irregular eating habits, eating rituals, problems with mestrual cycle etc.
The flipside of the eating disorder anorexia is not limited to physical symptoms. Rather they spread across psychological and behavioral changes as well. Most anorexic people will follow some ritual while eating such as restricting eating for an X amount of number of bites etc. They will focus on what is written on the nutritional label than on whether they like to eat that particular food. Sometimes, people will develop hatred towards food that they once used to love. Many people with eating disorder anorexia give up on chocolates, desserts and sugary drinks. Excessive exercising is another practice that is most often seen among people suffering from the eating disorder anorexia. So if you find to note these symptoms in yourself, a friend or a loved one, look for medical attention straightaway because there are easier styles to lose weight than torture oneself!
