Promorexia 

An eating disorder that can occur up to a year, but usually a month before Prom. Mainly occuring in young women, characterized by a self-induced starvation in order to fit into their Prom dresses or feel better about buying a slightly smaller size (which never works). Exercise in the form of "Prom night sex" usually follows Promorexia.

I _really_ wanted the daisy cookie in the Starbucks display, but I just took a picture instead of the calories. My photorexia has been flaring up lately.

poororexia

Being so poor that you cannot afford food. When the dreading horror of tuition bills and beer money overwhelm the finances of the college student that they can no longer afford food. It affects 4 out of 5 college students.

pregorexia

The state of being extremely skinny to the point of being nearly anorexic when pregnant.

This trend became popular after startling images of Nicole Kidman and Nicole Richie surfaced, as they both looked as if they gained only the weight of their babies...

But in their desire to remain on the fashion radar, pregorexics risk their health and that of their unborn child.

It's a phenomenon that's being fuelled by the growth in designer pregnancy wear.

This "state of being" has a name that belongs to one of many buzzwords that make a serious deadly illness sound totally trendy
Milla: Did you see those pictures of angelina holding those babies?
Christina: I did! Does she EVER eat?
Milla: probably not, she has been diagnosed with pregorexia
Christina: I bet you're jealous...

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
