What are the warning signs of anorexia?
With society’s push for being fit and wide acceptance of frequent dieting, it is often difficult to determine if an individual is anorexic. There are, however, certain warning signs to watch for which include: a thin individual constantly trying to get thinner, a distorted body image, being preoccupied with food, calories, nutrition, or cooking, exercising obsessively, significant weight loss resulting from excessive dieting and exercise, feeling bloated or nauseated when consuming a normal amount of food, frequently weighing themselves, thinning or loss of hair, and/or feeling cold when the temperature is normal.
