  • If that person wears big sweaters to make herself/himself appear bigger -- and to keep warm
  • If a person is voluntarily starving himself/herself
  • Self-induced vomiting, periods of fasting, or laxative, diet pill, or diuretic abuse.
  • If that person has an obsessive interest in recipes and cooking yet does not eat what he/she cooks
  • If that person observes obsessive rituals around food and exercise
  • If that person is a perfectionist
  • If that person has a low self-esteem
  • If that person exercises excessively
  • If that person is introverted and withdrawn
