A lot of people that have eating disorders are perfectionists, and they want to be PERFECT, and then they become obsessed with becoming and looking perfect. Or they start out dieting and then it gets out of control. I knew a girl who I believe had an eating disorder (she had ALL the signs) and she looked nasty. You could see her tendons in her hands and everything. Eww! Her head does look big on her!

I almost started on a road to an eating disorder once, but I stopped myself before it became serious. Every thing that went into my mouth I would think "How many calories is that?" and then I would try and limit my food so that I wouldn't have tons of calories going into my body, and I wanted to eat only like 500! And then when I would eat something I would be like, "Oh I have to exercise to lose those calaries." I am lucky though that I stopped that. It lasted only for a couple days but it REALLY became an obsession. I love food too much to give it up. I am also lucky that I have parents that if I stop eating or I refuse to eat, they take it seriously, and they make me eat a balanced meal (well sometimes ) Eating disorders are very sad.
