There are some people that are bent on becoming so thin that may result to measures such as self-starvation. Anorexics are underweight and may even be skeletally thin and still think that they are fat. To lose weight or prevent weight gain, individuals with anorexia may exercise excessively or starve themselves. In addition to the fact that anorexia centres around food, it is also seen as a way to try to cope with emotional problems, a desire for control and perfectionism and sufferers often equate their self-worth with how thin they are.

Anorexia could be difficult to overcome but with treatment and a healthier perception of self, healthy eating habits may return and there could be a reversal of the serious complications that may be associated with the condition
