I'm really athletic, but I have recently became anorexic. The thing is I don't want it to make me weak or have trouble running and stuff. Do you think it will effect me?? (link)

Listen, we all know the obvious answer is to just say " stop being anorexic!"
unfortunately, not all of us are educated enough on this topic. I think I know a few things, as I suffer from the disorder myself.
since I know that it may be very hard for you to start eating "normally" again, I would suggest that if you are restricting at all, to make sure you take a multivitamin and when you DO eat, make sure it is something that contains protein in it. Exercise- like running- Without enough protein will cause muscles to become weak and your body will start eating away at them, leading to lack of energy and a collapse or fainting during practice sooner or later. Also, drink plenty of water - more than recommended since you arent getting enough nutrients for energy, this will help keep it up. And most of all, please consider treatment or at the very least, research what you are doing to your body and organs.
