How do people who suffer from anorexia get as skinny as possible?!


Question: How do people who suffer from anorexia get as skinny as possible!?
I was wondering how the anorexics get as skinny as possible!. Do they just stop eat, or will they die on a higher weight then!? Do they slowly cut down on what they eat to keep their metabolism up, or do they eat as little as possible!? Do they eat small portions regularly to be able to obtain a lower weight, or doesn't it matter in what way they lose weight, they will die at the same weight anyway!? And will they die on a higher weight if they exercise, because it hurts their body when they eat that little, and therefore they avoid hard exercising!?

I am just curious on how anorexic people think who aim to be as thin as possible, I don't really understand why someone would do that, but if someone could answer these questions I would maybe get a better understanding and be able to help my friend and convince her to get healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think it varies!. Overall, it's not healthy because the body needs food to live and to maintain healthy tissues and bones and muscles!. It's sexier for her to eat and be strong and healthy than to be super-skinny, but you already knew that!. Anyway, it may be too big a thing for her to handle on her own!. You might want to talk to an adult you trust about this to ask for advice and also tell her to get the help of a doctor!. It's good you are there to support her through this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't really understand like how you are phrasing this!.!.!.

before i was bulimic, i starved myself!. i was never actually "anorexic" (never 15lbs underweight, loss of period, etc!.) because my mom forced food into me, but i lost a lot of weight!.

i had times where i didn't eat for like 5 days, and i'd try to bike 15 miles a day or run 4 miles everyday then!. most of the time i just ate an apple and a diet soda everyday!.!.and sometimes a little dinner if my mom was making me eat!.

i developed a very bad (and actually sad if you think about it) fear of food!. my biggest fear is food, still!. most people starve to get thin, and then once they are deathly thin, they still don't see it because all they look for are imperfections!. also, you sometimes see yourself as "looking acceptable" but you think food will make you fat again!. i know all i thought about was getting fat!. as a bulimic, now, all i think about is when i can eat then throw up!.!.timing, what i'll eat, etc!.

it's really hard to understand unless you have it!. you need to get her help!. tell a counselor at school (if your still in school, idk) or her parents or something!. she needs professional help!. now!.

she can die at anytime if she is really sick!. her body could just shut down!.!.don't wait for this to happen! get her help now!

good luck, and god bless!.
