Reply from Brittany, Age 14 - 07/29/04 - IP#: 68.4.175.xxx Remember that there are tons of EDNOS (eating disorders not otherwise specified). Basicly, your eating disorder is unique and doesn't fit into another category. You should see your doctor if you are suspicious that you have an eating disorder.
Reply from Brittany, Age 14 - 07/29/04 - IP#: 68.4.175.xxx There are many signs that someone may have anorexia nervosa. The most frequently noticed is the extreme thinness that characterizes someone with this eating disorder. There are other physical, emotional, and behavioral signs that signal anorexia: Extreme weight loss... Refusal to eat enough to maintain a healthy body weight... Persistent negative comments about body shape and size... Distorted body image and self-perception... Inability to recognize true body size/thinness... Excessive exercise... Continuing to diet although thin... Obsessive calorie and fat gram counting... Constant weighing... Refusing to eat in public/avoidance of eating situations... Denial of the problem... Claiming lack of hunger... Attributing life successes or failures to weight... Dressing in layers to hide weight loss... Thinning hair... Dry, yellow skin... Dry, brittle hair and nails... Complaints of being cold all the time... Refusal to eat solid food... Disguising lack of eating or reduced food intake by playing with food, picking at food, rearranging food on the plate, hiding food... Fine, downy hair that develops on face or body... Lack of menstrual period; loss of menses... Personality changes... Inability to accept compliments; frequent self-belittling comments... High expectations of perfection...
