The face of anorexia.



Anorexia and bulimia isn't just the models who look like they've come from POW camps. And it's not just people attached to tubes in hospitals who've had heart attacks because their bodies can't take the strain of their disease. Eating disorders include everything from self induced vomiting to over-exercise to starvation dieting to addiction to diet pills to skipping meals. An eating disorder is when you look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're not beautiful just the way you are. More and more, teenagers are succumbing to the influence of the media who strive with every commercial to tell us that we're not good enough unless we're a size zero.
