Does thin arms mean you have anorexia?
Not at all. If you're asking this because you have thin arms, you can tell yourself if you have it or not. There are several types of anorexia, but to tell if you have it a few simple ways would be looking at how much you eat, how much you exercise, and and what you say is beauty. Few I've read or talked to that have anorexia or any eating disorders will actually deny it, so odds are you would know if you had it. Now if you're asking this out of fear a friend might have it, thin arms are not what you should look at. There are lots of people who are fairly thin without eating disorders, so your best bet to tell on them is also the food. Look at if they constantly turn down going out to eat, and if they accept activities that let you work out. Also listen to if they constantly call themselves fat or idolize the unhealthily thin. There are lots of signs for anorexia that would take far to long to go into, but that's the basics on telling in general.
