- I must say that this lens has really good info and so true everything you said. I knew someone who was anorexic once long ago and believe me it is so stressful to deal with it. Sometimes you just want to walk away from it all and give up the fight. I rated you 5* and favourite this lens. I hope it helps someone realize how dangerous it is to push a diet just that little bit further.

- Anorexia can be a fatal disease and if not treated appropriately can be a source of so much pain and distress. The overwhelming thoughts and fears that accompany the disease seem impossible to get away from. I treat this disorder in my practice and it amazes me how strong one is who has this disease. One may feel broken and weak, but I think it is just the opposite. If you are able to starve yourself day after day, put up with the comments from others and still continue on with your disease, you are strong! The treatment for anorexia is finding new ways to channel that strength. New appropriate and healthier ways to use that determination. Let me know if I can be of service. www.JordanaCares.com
