From the Paper:

"Anorexia Nervosa is distinguished by a considerable weight loss ensuing from extreme dieting. Anorexics think themselves to be fat, no matter what their original weight is. In their efforts to become even thinner, the anorexic will stay away from food and taking in calories at all costs, which can end in death. Approximately 10 to 20% are expected to die from Anorexia. Anorexics struggle for excellence and they set very high standards for themselves and feel they must show their capability. A person with anorexia may think that the only control they have in their lives is in relation to food and weight. If they do not control their surroundings they cannot control their weight. They feel great and in power when they can make themselves drop weight. Usually Anorexics have low self-respect and sometimes feel they are not worthy of having their diet."
