A sign common to all anorexics is dramatic weight loss. This weight loss usually occurs in a short period of time and is not the result of illness. Additionally, anorexia victims deny being too skinny. Even though the victims are five feet six inches tall and weigh ninety pounds, they still do not believe themselves to be thin enough and will continue to desire to lose weight. Anorexics are also very harsh in their appearance. They can always spot something wrong with their appearance and are never completely satisfied with themselves. Mood swings become more common in anorexics, and anorexic women also experience loss of periods. In addition to these common signs of anorexia, there are also signs of restrictive anorexia, anorexia achieved through crash diets and exercise. One way to tell if someone has restrictive anorexia is to notice their eating behaviors. Many restrictive anorexics lie about eating. It's common to see them playing with their food, throwing it away, and making excuses for not having to eat, for example, "I ate a huge lunch." However, if they choose to eat, they tend to obsess over calories. They often read food labels and carefully measure their proportions to ensure they are not consuming too many calories or fat grams.
