The topic I chose for this research paper is Anorexia nervosa .Millions of people is dying because of this disease. I remember when I was younger I wished I was anorexic, so I could be skinny with nice body. Of course I have changed my mind after I read many cases and especially Emily’s story which was really dramatic.

The word Anorexia literally means “without appetite”. First people with Anorexia Nervosa refuse or are unable to maintain normal weight. Second, people with Anorexia Nervosa have an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though they may be grossly underweight. Third, they have a distorted perception of the weight or shape of their body, possibly denying the seriousness of abnormally low body weight. Fourth, females with Anorexia Nervosa experience amenorrhea, the absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles.

In Emily’s case things were very dramatic especially when the anorexic stage was continuing. Emily put her self on a diet when her grandmother died from hard attack, she was overweight. She did not want to be like her grandmother so she put her self on diet. She was loosing weight until she became anorexic. As sh

According to Emily, she was on a diet after her grandmother’s death. Her grandmother was her favorite person and they got along together a lot. Her grandmother died because of hard attack, due to her overweight. Emily was trying to find ways to loose weight because she didn’t want to have the same problems as her grandmother had. In addition, in her story describes that her grandmother was the only person in the world she could trust, so she could not imagine her self without her best friend. (Problems related to the social environment).
