Editor's Notes
- #4 Bingeing anorexia is feeling the tendency to vomit once they have eaten. The sufferer will eat and once digested they will immediately be overcome with a sense of guilt for the actions and will force themselves to be sick to rid themselves of the food. This can lead to serious problems with the digestive system. Restrictive anorexia is limiting the amount as the name suggests the sufferer will restrict the amount of food taken into the body, with this type of anorexia the sufferer won’t eat binge on food and then vomit, they just don’t eat.The will have the same overall thoughts and feelings about how there body looks and will have the same fear that they are overweight, the same sense of worthlessness and they can be affected greatly by. The sufferer may also exercise sometimes to the extreme in the attempt to rid them selves of the fat they see themselves as having.
