Are you Suffering from Anorexia?

When I was 23 and Robert left me after 6 years, I was so hurt. I set out to show him. Part of my revenge is to lose weight so that the next time he sees me, I would look so gorgeous and slim that he wished he had never dumped me. At first when the kilos are down, I was so happy, but my plan completely backfired. I just couldn't stop skipping meals and trying to lose more weight. So instead of feeling good of myself, I develop an eating disorder.I have lost my period and now I am having kidney problem that I have to manage the rest of my life. After one year I met Robert, he said " You look like skeleton,have you been sick?

This is one of many stories of women suffering from anorexia.Are you at risk too:

1. Often skip meals because you like that empty stomach feeling.
2. Exercise for very long hour.
3. Weight yourself every time after exercise and eating.
4. Talks lot about sugar or calories in food.
5. Restrict yourself from eating and exercise obsessively after heavy intake of snack.
6. Make excuses for not going out with friends for dinner.
7. Be proud on how long you can go without eating.
8. Hate yourself for eating and refer yourself as "fat".
9. Wanna suicide when you eat lot on that day.
10. Strive to be underweight.
11. Try to lose weight by vomiting, misuse of laxatives, or diet pills.

If you answer "yes" to three or more questions you could be developing an unhealthy lifestyle and should sake for counseling.
