What is Anorexia Nervosa?
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder where people fail to maintain body weights that are normal for their age and height and have fears of becoming fat, distorted body images, and amenorrhea (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2014).
I won't eat I'm fat
People believe that they are fat, even when they are under weight.
Is that for real?
What we see on television and in magazines isn't real. They edit these images to make people look thinner than what they really are.
