Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by refusal to maintain a healthy body weight and an obsessive fear of gaining weight. It is often coupled with a distorted self image which may be maintained by various cognitive biases that alter how the affected individual evaluates and thinks about her or his body, food and eating. Persons with anorexia nervosa continue to feel hunger, but deny themselves all but very small quantities of food.

The average caloric intake of a person with anorexia nervosa is 600-800 calories per day, but there are extreme cases of complete self-starvation. It is a serious mental illness with a high incidence of comorbidity and the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder. Girls with anorexia are at risk for a number of serious health problems, including osteoporosis (bone loss), kidney disease, liver disease, heart failure, and even death. Anorexic girls are often not aware of the serious risks posed by their condition and may not seek the treatment they need.

Many of these photos are horrible, but I really hope that after you see these, if you are a woman, you will never be like them…If you are a man I really hope that you don't like this kind of "sexy" anorexic women.

A feeding tube could be the future..

It's why companies such as Comcast launched @ComcastCares, a Twitter channel completely devoted to customer support and well, customer complaints. Because let's face it, if there is ever an industry that can provoke mass ire it's the cable companies.

These days, it's very easy for customers to get the message out when they feel a company has wronged them. Get a few folks on Twitter, tack on a hashtag to the tune of #thiscompanysucks, and suddenly you're at the center of a nationally trending conversation that could've been easily prevented had you just been prepared. More than ever, companies need to have a strategy in place to prevent online customer service dust ups from becoming full-blown disasters.

The infographic below offers tips on how to get started:
