ANOREXIC ??????????????????

Question

How much weight is lost during the 1st 2 weeks of becomeing ANOREXIC

i heard its 4 pounds in a week ?

i think my cousin is sick help :/

Answer 1

4 pounds a week is way too much weight for any young person to lose.

however if she's telling everybody about it then she's probably obsessed with her weight and calories and those are symptoms of the disease.  Keep an eye on her and tell her parents if it gets out of hand.

Best luck.

Answer 2

I use to be anorexic and that's about how much I lost per week.

Answer 3

Your cousin isnt sick you want the tips for yourself.

Answer 4

You can loose 4 lbs a week safely without being anorexic if you eat, drink and exercise right.

If you think your cousin is anarexic, talk to them about it, tell them you were just worried, thats all.

Good luck =)

Answer 5

Hiya

Most people don't just become "anorexic" it's a long process which occurs gradually over time and is actually a mental illness - not just a diet. If your cousin has just stopped eating, she may be trying to diet. Weight loss varies in different people, but in most cases the initial weight loss experienced is nearly all water - that's why it can look like a lot on the scales. 4lbs or 2kg is not unusual if she is highly restrictive.
