Signs and Symptoms...Apart from weight loss ,symptoms include ..headaches, depression and constipation. Other physical symptoms include skin problems,excess body hair,tiredness, lethargy; many starve themselves by reducing the food intake to tiny quantities; Girls with anorexia may find their periods stop ..
............................................................
Bulimia..People with bulimia often gorge themselves or binge eat, then make themselves sick to purge their body of the food. Some take laxatives to cause diarrohea..
............................................................Sufferer's go to great lengths to hide their illness,often disappearing to the toilet to vomit after a meal..Bulimics may not look ill, and often maintain a healthy body weight.This can make the disorder hard to detect...

............................................................Helping yourself...eating disorders can be over come .Recovery is possible even after years of illness.But no one can force you to get help,first you have to accept that you are suffering from an eating disorder...

People with eating disorders hide their condition due to their deep self hatred and fear of the consequences of being discovered...Recovery is slow and extremely difficult, as the sufferer will be determined to stick to their obsessive eating regime,and any interference will be seen as disasterous ....

Helping others..Skipping meals ...or being obsessive about calorie and fat content...Sudden unexplained loss of weight ...sticking to very low calorie food...Behaving defensively when asked about food consumption...wearing losse clothes to disguise body shape...disappearing from the table after every meal to vomit...the sufferer will decieve family and doctors into thinking they are maintaining a healthy food intake..
