Anorexia Nervosa
By: Jennifer Verdugo
what is anorexia nervosa?
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, and a distorted perception of body weight.
Afraid to gain weight
The person with anorexia has an intense fear of gaining weight.
Body image
Anorexic people see each other a whole different way than others see them.
Self-Stravation
To prevent weight gain or to continue losing weight, people with anorexia usually severely restrict the amount of food they eat.
My opinion about anorexia nervosa.....
People who starve themselves are usually suffering from anorexia nervosa , this is serious because you begin to lose a lot of weight and you start to get super thin. This will cause you to have health problems. If your family member/friends are going through this they should go get checked at the doctor before it starts to get too serious.
