Explanation:

Anorexia is often associated with its later stages, as the effects are typically highly visible on the affected individual. As a result, the public’s conception of anorexia is skewed toward the latter end of its timeline. A more expansive understanding of anorexia could be helpful to individuals who develop this eating disorder. The earlier risks or symptoms can be detected, the more likely it is that appropriate and effective intervention can occur.

Individuals who experience anorexia do not follow the same trajectory of development, nor will they experience the same symptoms. Although there are no established stages, for illustrative purposes, consider the disorder as being spread out over six stages. The following discussion describes some of the hallmarks of each of these phases.

During the first stage, individuals move from mere contemplation of restricting their diets and/or engaging in an intensive exercise program to beginning these activities. At this point, an onlooker may think the person is only being health-conscious or trying to “get in shape.” The individual who is dieting and exercising may not yet have a specific intention to go to extremes to meet weight loss goals. At this point, the main health risk will be the side effects associated with sudden weight loss and the risk of developing a more severe case of anorexia or adding in bulimic practices.
