It starts with an obsessive dysphoric thought that you are fat when you are not. You could make yourself anorexic if you stupidly obsessed about a few pounds like it was the end of the world.

Anorexia is kind of an obsession, when someone is anorexic they are trying to make themselves 'beautiful'. They see someone who is just like a stick, and decide they want that look.
Also sometimes Anorexia can be caused by an illness, that affects the way somebody eats. Or just a phobia of gaining weight.

It starts when you become obsessed with dieting and loosing weight. It is like an addiction. You can never be too thin when you are anorexic. It is hard to know when you are in the grip of it. I suffered from it and even when i was really thin still wanted to loose more weight. You hardly eat anything and always exercise. It is a horrible way to live, your life evolves around how you look and how much you eat, you really don't have a life. I have been recovered from it for many years thankfully and now have a healthy attitude to my body. I think anorexia is when you focus on your weight to block out other problems in your life and to be destructive to yourself. I never trusted a mirror even when I looked really thin in it, I thought it was the mirror. It's not like going on a diet

Anorexia is an eating disorder. You think you are fat even when you are severely thin. It can be a fatal disease. Yes, you can make yourself anorexic, but don't try. It is when you literally starve your body. It is NOT a pretty thing to see and is very hard to treat and recover from. Bulimia is basically the same thing except that for not eating, bulimics binge and purge their food.

Yeah you can. I think it is personal feeling. Anorexics stop eating because they constantly feel they are fat. It could also be because of bullying. Anorexics stop eating therefore force anorexia on them selves.
My cousin was Anorexic because she was a model and she was a size 0 (UK sizes) and was still told that she was fat! She ended up in hospital and nearly died. Now she was a healthy size 8.

anorexia is a type of illness like OCD that the person tries to find some way to find control in a world they feel they cannot control. in a very destructive way.

It starts with a view that the body is too fat, regardless of community view of the same body. Then, the view becomes obsessive in spite of evidence to the contrary and pleading of friends and loved ones. Yup, anybody can "make him/herself" anorexic, if allowed.

Anorexia is basically just refraining from eating anything, healthy, non-healthy, a necessity to live etc. etc. Anorexia is harmful, DON'T START!
