Best Tip Eating habits lie on a continuum, from healthy eating habits on one end, to serious eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia on the other end. We are saturated with messages from the media that advise us to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. However, an obsession with losing weight, counting calories, and exercising can lead to an eating disorder, with serious emotional and physical consequences. According to Ohio State University, the defining signs and symptoms of anorexia are: an intense and irrational fear of body fat and weight gain, a determination to become thinner and thinner, and a misperception of body weight and shape to the extent that the person feels fat even when underweight. The person with anorexia loses weight and does not realize the dangers of denying food to the body. 鈥淔ood, calories, fat grams, weight, and weight management dominate the person's life and attempts to help are often ignored or met with denial or anger.鈥?鈥?Ohio State University Family and Consumer Sciences What are the signs and symptoms of anorexia?
