hi myLotters!
i just wanna know if you guys had encountered an anorexic person?
well, i do know somebody who was anorexic. she was my former classmate way back college and she really, really is conscious about her body figure. i was so concern about her body that time since she was so thin! she must be around 40kg or something which doesnt match to her height because she was around 5'6" tall. she's also shy. very, very shy! i think she lost her confidence because of her figure and the thought that she was "fat". i was really concerned about her image as well as her health.
her mom also asked me with my friends to convince her to eat right and nevermind the figure. but she thought that she was so fat.
thank God her mum went to see an expert and sent her to him. she had somewhat a rehab and when the time we saw her again, she was extremely beautiful again. she also gained her confidence and actually joined a pageant in their place.
i was so glad about her recovery.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by refusal to maintain a minimally accepted body weight, it may be from an intense fear of weight gain, and distorted body image. Inadequate calorie intake or excessive energy expenditure results in severe. This happens to a person who has a problem in himself and psychologically.
In the disorder, the patient must have talk therapy that is a cognitive type where her thoughts are corrected about the facts of good eating and behavior.
Most people who are under these condition has low self esteem that had a traumatic experience in their lives. Treatment for such involves psychotherapy, medications and continuous support from loved one in overcoming his fears and wrong thoughts.
