Spot a Wannarexic

There are many girls over the Internet that claim to have anorexia, but not all are telling the truth. Here is how to spot the fakes, the wannarexics (wanna be ana, anorexic wanna be, etc.) Not all that do these things are wannarexic, though, just like all wannarexics may not do these things.

Steps

 * 1)  Watching thinspo (thinspiration) used as motivation due to not having anorexia. This may take the form of a video, pictures, songs etc.
 * 2) They make their "illness" seem better than it is, or, they glamorize it. Examples of this: wearing red bracelets, using thinspo, saying that "anorexia is a lifestyle, not a disease", using phrases like "stay strong" or "ana love", or having "commandments" and "rules".
 * 3) They think well of themselves, saying things like "I'm fat but no one else sees it," or "I know I am already skinny but..." They don't have a disorder, never did.
 * 4) They are happy about their weight loss, they feel better about themselves after some weight loss.
 * 5) Saying they "binged" when they just gave in and ate a normal meal.
 * 6) They flaunt it off. They go around telling everyone of their "eating disorder" or how they are "starving themselves".
 * 7) They have ana buddies, or fasting friends. They fast along with others because they have no other support because they don't actually have an eating disorder.
 * 8) Miraculous recovery. It's a miracle! I'm cured! Though, it may be possible, but very unlikely that they recovered without treatment. They claim they are cured so they can go back to normal life.

Warnings

 * Most of these guidelines do not apply.
 * Many people with anorexia may do things listed.
 * Unless you are a doctor, you are really not qualified to determine who is anorexic and who is a "wannabe."
