how do you know if some one is at risk for developing anorexia?!


Question:

Answers:
I have a family member who has battled anorexia for more than 10 years. I would say that some signs that they are developing the disease would be of course, eating less and exercising more. Some more subtle hints would be being secretive (especially about food), looking in mirrors more, and buying lots of magazines with celebrities in them or with diet tips. These are just a couple, but each case is unique and has their own symptoms, so you can never be sure. If you are concerned, don't accuse them of having an eating disorder outright, as either way they will deny it and get upset. One good approach is to say that you're concerned about their eating habits, and would they be willing to go to a nutritionist. Hope this helps, and good luck.

Other Answers:
They are female. They have a thing against being sexual. They talk about their appearance, with special negative attention paid to the changes brought on by puberty.

People who believe they have a poor body image and are deserate to become thinner are usually at risk for developing anorexia. Also, those who are uneducated about proper nutrition when dieting may become anorexic.
