Connection

         Annabel's oldest sister, Whitney, has an eating disorder. She was barley ever hungry, and she always wanted to exercise. Some of the symptoms of eating disorders are: Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for height, body type, age, and activity level, Extreme concern with body weight and shape, and Frequent dieting. Whitney is very skinny because she is barley eating, and she is cranky. If she is always doing exercises, it is because she thinks she is too fat. The modeling has put pressure on her, and being fit and in shape took over her mind, causing her to never ear, but always exercise. The link showing this was http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/nedaDir/files/documents/handouts/WhatIsEd.pdf. It showed two different types of eating disorders, but there are more than those two. The author didn't say which type of disorder she had, but she goes to therapy, and is slowly gaining back weight.
