Anorexia is an eating disorder where people starve themselves.
Anorexia usually begins in young people around the onset of
puberty. Individuals suffering from anorexia have extreme weight
loss. Weight loss is usually 15% below the person's normal body
weight. People suffering from anorexia are very skinny but are
convinced that they are overweight. Weight loss is obtained by
many ways. Some of the common techniques used are excessive
exercise, intake of laxatives and not eating. Anorexics have an
intense fear of becoming fat. Their dieting habits develop from

big meals for others while refusing to eat any of it. But
anorexia can be cured! I will recommend an anorexia book that
