As anorexia progress, the individual starts to reach a stage of starvation. When this stage is reached the body burns fewer and fewer calories to keep the person functioning and alive. The person's body does this until food is available again. The young girl is always cold because her body doesn't have enough calories to burn in order to keep her warm.
The young girl's blood pressure also begins to drop because calories are not used to keep the blood pressure up anymore. This will cause them to become dizzy very often and may even faint from time to time. Hair will start to thin and even stop growing. As the disorder progresses the heartbeat becomes irregular because calories are not used to keep the heart beating at a normal rate.
A young girl's monthly period is deceased because their cycle needs calories, iron and protein so the young girls stops having a monthly cycle. The anorexic thinks this is a good thing that consumer fewer and fewer calories, whatever it takes to stay thin she will do it. She's scared that if she does start to eat she will become overweight. She eats less and exercises excessively, doing this will help her feel much better about herself.
The young girl is trying to avoid any insecurity by engaging in this behavior, by consuming fewer calories and excessive more often. She's unhappy with herself and the only way to feel better is engage in anorexic behavior. Doing all these things will give her the security that she needs.
