Inde, pambuyo pokwatirana ndi kubadwa kwa mwana, amayi ambiri amakhala okhudzidwa kwambiri ndi nkhani za m'banja - kulera ana, kukonza chakudya, kutsuka, kuyeretsa, ndi zina zotero. Kuwoneka kwawo kwa amayi a msinkhu wokalamba, monga lamulo, samalani pang'ono mpaka anthu omwe akudziwika kapena otseka amayamba kunena monyinyirika za kukhalapo kwa kulemera kwa thupi lawo. Njira yothetsera vuto la maonekedwe a "kilogalamu yowonjezera" imadalira makamaka kuganiza bwino kwa kugonana kwabwino. Ngati mkazi ali ndi maganizo oyenera, ndiye kuti amatha kulankhula momveka bwino za kukwanira kwake mosavuta ndikuyesera kuthetsa vutoli moyenera-kukonzekera bwino zakudya zake, kuchepetsa kugwiritsira ntchito zakudya zamakono, ndi kuwonjezera kuyendetsa galimoto yake popita nawo masewera a masewera.
Komabe, ngati mkazi ali wokhudzidwa kwambiri ndi mawu ochokera kunja, mawu oterowo akhoza kukhala ndi vuto lalikulu pa mkhalidwe wa psyche wake. Pachifukwa ichi, akhoza kuyamba kukhala ndi mantha odwala matendawa - kukana kudya, chifukwa cha kuphwanya boma la neuropsychic. Kufika pokhala wamkulu ndikuzindikira kuoneka kolemera kwambiri, mkazi ayamba kuopa zochitika zosiyanasiyana zosasangalatsa zomwe zikugwirizana ndi chikhalidwe chake: kutayika kokongola kwa amuna kapena akazi okhaokha, kuopera kuti asiyidwa ndi mwamuna wake, kunyodola anzake ogwira nawo ntchito, ndi zina zotero. Pa msinkhu wa maganizo, kusokonezeka kwa chakudya ndi njira yodyera chakudya kumayamba kukula. Chifukwa cha njala, yomwe imapezeka pamene anorexia nervosa (omwe amagwira ntchito zamankhwala amaganiza kuti ndiwowona ndi oopsa kwambiri), mkazi amalephera kulemera, koma osati mafuta okha, koma minofu imatenthedwa. Mzimayi amakula msanga, pamene thupi lake limafika polepa kwambiri, ndipo popanda kupatsirana maganizo ndi kuchipatala, zotsatira zake zimawopsa.
Kuthandizira amayi okhwima omwe akudwala matenda a anorexia nervosa, choyamba, ayenera kukhala ndi machitidwe abwino ndi katswiri wa zamaganizo (ngakhale chithandizo chamankhwala chingafunikike), kupanga chikhalidwe chabwino cha maganizo ndi chiyanjano cha achibale ndi abwenzi, ndi kutsatira malangizo a odwala. Chinthu chachikulu chomwe oimira onse omwe ali pafupi ndi malo omwe ali pafupi ayenera kuchiritsa wodwala ndi anorexia nervosa ndikumudziwitsa kuti kulemera kwakukulu kwa mkazi sikumakhudza maganizo ake ndi anthu ena.
Ndipo akazi omwe ali achikulire omwe amadandaula kwambiri za chikhalidwe chawo chifukwa ali ndi makilogalamu "owonjezerapo", palibe chifukwa choyenera kukhumudwa ndi kuvutika maganizo (zomwe zidzakhala zofunikira kwambiri kuti chitukuko cha anorexia nervosa) chichitike. Ndibwino kuti mukonzekere bwino zakudya zanu mogwirizana ndi zomwe akukulimbikitsani kuchita ndikuyesa kukhala ndi moyo wathanzi. Izi ndizo zigawo zazikulu za nkhondo yoyambana ndi kulemera kwa thupi. Pokhala ndi chisangalalo chabwino ndi chimwemwe cha mzimu, munthu sangathe konse kudwala matenda oopsya, omwe ndi anorexia nervosa.
