Anorexia
An eating disorder causing people to obsess about weight and what they eat.
Anorexia is characterised by a distorted body image, with an unwarranted fear of being overweight. 
Symptoms include trying to maintain a below-normal weight through starvation or too much exercise. 
Medical treatment may be required to restore normal weight. Talk therapy can help with self-esteem and behavioural changes.
