Answers:
Emotional Abuse

Trauma
Stress

There is a theory that some people are wired with an Eating Disorder and can suddenly be triggered into it!.

There is another theory that says there is a link between female and males babies who where labled as failure to thrive (meaning they didn't eat in the hospital and dropped a lot of weight) and Eating Disorders!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

low self worth,

poor body image

perfectionism

they are overweight and think it'll help them loose weight!.!.!.!. (that was my plan!.!.!. :S )

people nit picking saying things like "you should drop weight"

not looking "normal" - being curvy or having a large frame

wanting to fit in

a lack of control in their lives - meaning they feel other people control them; eating is something THEY can control

being abused is also on the list - if you're looking for hard core stats, google abused women, and you should find some state sites with links to the correlation to anexoria!. but abuse definatly pre-disposes people to eating disorders!. there are also stats that say a rape victim is more likely to develope an eating disorder!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are many reasons but most relate to low self esteem and poor self image!. They see all those extremely thin models and think they should look like them in order to be popular or fit in with the in crowd!. Sometimes it can be triggered by being told that they need to lose weight or being called "fat" by others who think that skinny is the in thing!. Many in some sports are told by their coaches to lose a certain amount of weight even if it would be unhealthy for them!. Once a person sees themselves as "fat" no amount of lost weight is satisfactory!.

the main reason is to loose weight!.

once you havent eaten for weeks you feel euphoric for a long time and the things that used to stress you out dont bother you a bit anymore!.

mental illness
anxiety
depression
feeling "unpure"- some people feel contaminated by everything

Low self esteem is what it comes down to!. They think they're too fat, and of course with all the media and celebrities and whatnot, they associate "thin" with being "pretty!." And every girl is searching for beauty!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
