Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
some of the basic signs are
not eating or eating minimally
lack of energy/always tired
dizzyness, especially after working out
obsessing over weight and worrying about how certian foods will affect it
constantly counting calories
depression
easily upset
feelings of helplessness
loss of color in face
weight lost of 15% or more below the "normal weight"
bmi of under 18.5
loss of period
low blood pressure which can lead to heart attack
fear of weight gain
distorted self-image
the only way to stop it is to tell someone and hope they help. parents are the best because they care about you the most. friends can help, but not to the extent needed because they will be afraid of making you mad, whereas parents won't care if your mad at them as long as you're getting help. :)

I've been reading a lot about anorexia lately and it's really interesting. People who usually go through it or are on the way, think that they are very overweight or just little. They plan to loose maybe 5 pounds by starving themselves, then they will think they need to loose more because that didn't help. So on & on. It will become an addiction and they will never see themselves as skinny no matter how skinny they actually may be. If you think someone might be anorexic, they will always say I'm not hungry, & they won't have much energy. If someone is heading towards this, they need to realize how dangerous it is. You can really die from this. It's an illness, not a diet. That person needs to stop and that there are SO many other ways to loose weight and be happy with yourself. Bulimia is also bad. It's kind of like anorexia, but also very oppisite. It's when you eat but you throw it up. That can damage your lungs VERY badly, your throat, teeth and mouth. Anorexia nervousa is one of the worst things you can go through. They feed people through tubes, people won't have engery and they will just be put in a hopital. If you know anyone who has it, and they didn't tell anyone, I suggest you do something about it because that person is putting their life in danger.

some signs are thinking your overweigh and obessing over how your body looks. Sometimes obessing over exersicing and not eating ....some ways to stop is to talk to someone like a counselor or make a list of the bad things that will happen if you become ANA. like :
becomes sick
boney and unstrong
will gain weight easily when older
and than everytime you dont want to eat or something you just look at that list..
i hope i helped =)

If you heading- Tell a parent get a councler go from there.
Have ANA means you think your never too skinny and your bone skinny.

well for me to help you i need to know if its a friend that is having anorexia or if you are worried about yourself. if its a friend you need to watch her at lunch time and see if she eats she will get pail and her hair will start to look diffrent (worse).
