im not gonna be anorexic, that would be extremely stupid.
im doing a project on anorexia and i cant find good information on how to be anorexic, what do they eat? they dont just eat nothing, theyd die. and drink what do they drink?
like just water and gum? or whaaat… thankyoou for yur help!
Well I cant speak for everyone but back in the day when i went that route for a lil while I was hooked on eating an extremely small amount of Iceberg lettuce with water. Gum was a bit of an addiction because the sugar in it was a substitute for food… it kinda nullified the hunger pangs a bit. For me, ice aside, that was about it. Or little bits of fruit or cucumber. Pretty much anything water based.

Experiance.
you can’t just "BE" anorexic. Its not a lifestyle, its a disease.
every anorexic is different. Look up the DSM-IV criteria to learn more about it, because if you think you can just start being anorexic, you clearly have a lot to learn before doing your project.

I’m eating disordered, also psychology classes.
well, i never went as far as anorexia, but let’s just say i was in between bulemia and anorexia,and i don’t know where, but what i would eat was basically the same as the person before,
gum to sort of calm my hunger, during school, that was easy, don’t bring money and u don’t eat, but 2 make sure no one would hear that stomache, at home it was hard, my mom now keeps an eye one me, but before when everyone always worked, id have an apple, water, fresh juice, but that was hard sometimes, i’d serve myself like4 oz and hape a sip or two and put it back, lots of salads,oh and those powder stuff u add in water, low cal and sugar free of course,hmm, what else?
well, i don’t eat burgers, but i would eat everything but a little of it, like i was a child who was scared of the taste eating way, i knew it tasted good, but with that everything is "bad". and then id get really hungry at night and go to the fridge, stuff a bunch of food in my mouth and feel guiltyand not eat for a longer time and less, a ‘punishment’.
well, hope that helps, ne more questions and ask
and yes, im better, i eat now, yeah

Okay, ‘how to be anorexic’ ? You sound so unbelievably uneducated.
I think you should first off know that anorexia is a mental illness and there isn’t any specific way to be anorexic.
Anorexia isn’t just eating habits either, it’s your self esteem and how you see and feel about yourself.
Also, people with anorexia nervosa may develop bulimia in many cases.
