At times, people take it as a compliment when they are called ‘anorexic’. But to tell you the truth, being anorexic is nothing to be proud of. Anorexia is actually an eating disorder in which people starve themselves. This disorder generally begins at the onset of puberty, though it can turn out at any time during one’s lifetime. All those who are afflicted from anorexia, have weight loss typically 15% lower than their normal body weight.
