anorexics's Usage Examples:

Many anorexics are perfectionists who are driven about schoolwork and other matters in addition to weight control.

Like anorexics, bulimics use their relationship with food as an outlet to express their emotional difficulties.

One study found that anorexics were 12 times more likely than the general population to have a close relative who struggled with the disease.

Generally, people who suffer from bulimia do not lose as much weight as anorexics.

Some experts have observed that many female anorexics were victims of childhood sexual abuse.

It is possible that certain anorexics are using a refusal to eat as a way to avoid coping with the feelings and physical changes that accompany sexual maturity.

In the hospital, not only will anorexics be given proper alimentation (by tube if they refuse to eat by mouth), but a barrage of tests will be done to assess the damage that has been done to the body.

It's true that anorexics will literally starve themselves, but this behavior is actually an attempt to use control over food as a coping mechanism for more severe emotional problems.

This is mainly because some anorexics will cut up their food in small pieces and take a long time to eat; some will even spit their food out after chewing it.

Starving women, female athletes and anorexics with low fat stores experience secondary amenorrhea.

Overemphasis on control, autonomy, and independence: Some anorexics come from achievement-oriented families that stress physical fitness and dieting.
