Hi there and good evening/day. Yerp, I've been following the ever ''in your face'' rumblings regarding ''Orthorexic''. There seems to be an ever increasing list of ''rexias'', there's even a ''wannarexia'' now, whereby a person really really WANTS to be officially diagnosed by a Dr that they are anorexic ~~ mainly because it's a ''kinda'' proof that they ARE thin and unhealthy. It seems that, no matter how little they eat no weight falls off. They LOOK slim (but not thin) and are constantly consumed by thoughts of food and how to eat less and how to achieve that desired anorexic look. Now, the Orthorexic seems to eat extremely healthy food, though they will cut out totally certain food groups, but sometimes increase ten fold foods from another group. It's actually more than unhealthy, it can be very damaging to the body and it's vital organs. Often a person with Oethorexicia is really into working out, especially jogging or running. Of course most of these regimes commence innocently, with a desire to be healthy rather than anything else. It's just some people have an addictive personality and potentially will get sucked in by the whole thing. It's up to us as adult individauls to keep ourselves as safe as we can. HUGS.
