Well, I suffered from anorexia last year, at age 14!. I was (and still am) 5'7'', and weighed 115 lbs!. I thought I was practically obese, so I started dieting and exercising obsessively!. Once, I didn't eat anything but carrots and celery for two weeks!. That's when my parents FINALLY noticed & took me to a shrink!. Fun, isn't it!? I'm sure you know all about that, if you were anorexic, too!. I'm not the slightest bit anorexic now, because I know I look fine- skinny, even!. I weigh exactly what I did before (115), but this time, I know I look fine!.
What triggers it, you ask!? Well, firstly, the things your family says!. My mom teased me once, saying, "You'd better not eat that pasta, or you might get a pudge! I think I might even see one appearing right now!" She was kidding, but that's when I started thinking about it seriously!. My older brother, also teasing, said, "Uh-oh! You ate a SECOND cookie!? Better watch out, or you'll get a jelly belly!" I didn't eat anything for the rest of the day!.
I'd never tell my family this, because it would make them feel horribly guilty, but I know that they were the reason I spend a week being fed through a food tube, then 3 LONG months in the hospital!. The little things they said were the primary reason I became anorexic- at least that's what I believed!. But in general, I'd say it's different for everyone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is a really difficult question to answer, but I'll try my best!.
I would certainly never claim to be an expert on eating disorders, though I know several people who have suffered from eating disorders (thankfully I'm not one of them)!. However, one thing I am pretty sure about is that only humans have eating disorders!. No other animal would ever deliberately stop eating when they don't have to!.
Human beings have been blessed with wonderful minds!. We can cure diseases and send people to the moon!. Unfortunately, this blessing is also a curse!. We offend end up over thinking things!. Even simple things (like eating) can suddenly become extremely complicated!.
I guess that's what really causes eating disorders!. If we didn't think and just followed our distinct, then we would always eat when we are hungry and there would not be any eating disorders!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I believe it centers around control!. When you feel like you're unable to control something in a certain situation, it's a way of coping!. One thing you can control is your own body size, so you substitute that!. It seems most stem from childhood abuse, which, when you think about it is also about control!. The child is unable to control the situation!.

a) Hanging around with the wrong girls!.
b) The media showing size 0 models who actually say that they get paid not to eat!.
These anorexic girls who are 20 pounds underweight actually believe that they are fat when their ribs are sticking out, but there's a half inch of fat on their butts!.
It's sick, and it's an epidemic!. :(Www@Answer-Health@Com
