Anorexia Nervosa affects the way we look at ourselves. People with Anorexia see themselves as 'fat' when in fact they are underweight (the picture above shows this). Anorexia causes the sufferer to not want to eat in fear of getting fat and normally someone with anorexia will exercise at any given chance.
In this day in age it shouldn't be a surprise that there are new cases of anorexia each day. With the constant media attention on super skinny actors and models it's easy for anyone to be drawn into the mind set that 'size 0' is the perfect size. Both men and women are affected by anorexia so it's not just something that affects women even though it seems more prevalent in females.
It's sad really, to think what the media has done to teenager's self esteem. Anorexia takes over the persons like and it won't ever really leave them. If the media wasn't focused on showing the thinnest of people and the magazines showing unrealistic ideals of what people look like that cause people to start believing that they need to change when in fact they don't...
this blog is a bit of a rant but certain things have been going on that make me really annoyed with the media's control over the minds of society.
