Anorexia is a psychological illness, where the sick person sees the body in a distorted way, it sees fat where it doesn't exist, and to lose weight, stops eating.
 Out of fear that the family discovers that they have stopped eating, many people start to use loose-fitting clothes, and this is one of the symptoms of the beginning of the problem. If you suffer from anorexia, all I can say to you is...no one can force you to eat; no one can force you not to eat. You have one life and one body, and if you under eat or over eat either way are damaging. It’s up to you to make the decision to be in good physical shape, to live the long and happy healthy life that everyone who loves you wants you to live. What you must to take in is that I had to love yourself first, and that is an extremely tough thing to do, and it's not something that somebody can teach you to do, it's just something you have to take in on your own.
