Anorexia Nervosa disorder - a person who has an intense fear of weight gain

Anorexia is a general loss of appetite, or a loss of interest in food.

Anorexia nervosa is a serious mental illness. Patients have not "lost" interest in food, they have intentionally restricted their food intake because of an irrational fear of being or becoming fat.

@Serenitree: why are you timstamping your comments?

@LilFoot: been doing it for months. It's explained in my "about me" on my profile. The experiment is over, but I like the time stamps, so decided to keep them.
