Get The Facts

Anorexia is self-starvation that causes extreme weight loss. 

People who have anorexia nervosa are typically below normal weight for their body type, age, and activity level. 

These people fear gaining weight or being what is considered “fat”, and these feelings are typically extreme. 

They see themselves differently than others see them and the sickness causes people to feel “fat” although they are losing weight rapidly. 

It is important for people to know the affects of anorexia and realize it truly is a disease that needs attention, treatment, and support. 

People with anorexia cannot just stop this obsessive behavior and need professional help and the support of family and friends
