Anorexia Nervosa is a severe eating disorder that afflicts primarily young women, although men are also known to suffer from it.
Anorexia (from the Greek a- without; and orexis- appetite) is merely a symptom of Anorexia Nervosa in which the victim feels, largely from poor role-models, that they must become bone-thin in order to be considered attractive or to be accepted. From there, they abolutely refuse to eat, for fear of gaining too much weight and then being unable to lose it; they excercise constantly, trying to flush the fat (or lack, thereof, in most cases) from their bodies.
In some extreme cases, a layer of fur will grow on the sufferer's body to keep him/her warm; because they have lost so much body fat, they can no longer insulate themselves.
Many sufferers even hear a voice in their heads telling them how fat they look (despite the obvious fact that they are sickly and wasted away to almost nothing), thus further discouraging them.

Like depression, anorexia nervosa and bulimia are not things that one can "get over". They are illnesses that require help. And poor role-models from the media, from peers, and from parents make the problem worse.
Barbie would be anorexic if she were a human... she wouldn't even have the 17 to 22% of body fat required to menstruate. If she were human, she'd have to be 7'2'', 130 pounds, and 40-18-33. Hell, she'd have to crawl on all fours just to support her unnatural proportions.
Misinformation: Anorexia was the ancient Greek goddess of withering and starvation.

Get the Ankesh mug.Anke’s are known for their strange and rather funky personalities. They are usually cheesy, introverts and are drawn to the arts. Ankes go well with people with the names: Jenn, Maddie, Victoria, Katie, Logan and Livvy.
P 1: You should’ve seen Anke with her friends at school!
P 2: What do you mean?
P 1: Just the usual, telling crazy jokes and having strange outbursts.

Get the Anke mug.anorexia is an eating disorder. although comonly mistaken as a self-inflicted diet plan, it is not. in fact, anorexia is a complicated disease often cause by poor self-confidence, unrealistic body image, a cry for attention, or the need for control. friends and family who feel a need to help often comment in several ways; sometimes they flatter the person about how thin they are, sometimes going as far as to tell them they should gain weight because they are too thin, other times they comment how they haven't eaten lately and should. though most comments are provoked by worries and concerns it is often better to wait for the anorexic to confide in them. if they trust you, they will. and when they admit they need help they will ask for it. forcing a person to eat or maintain a certain body weight is the worst way to attempt to help.
anorexia is a very serious and very personal problem. help your family and friends but be careful not to lose them in the proccess.

Get the anorexia mug.The superiority of the male race. This individual sub species dominates over every other, making them the leaders of all men. Usually picking up hot chicks and showing them a good time, while still keeping a 4.0 GPA. There is only one word to describe an Aniket and that is success. No matter what, they are bound to succeed in life, and usually they get what they want no matter what it takes.
They will usually go to an ivy leauge college
Usually end up with a great job
Usually end up with a 7 figure salary
Get all the good women
Aniket's are ALWAYS the sexiest
