Girls are often very concerned about their appearance. They may fret continually that they are fat. As a result, anorectic or bulimic patterns of eating may emerge during these years. Anorexia is marked by eating minimal amounts of food, whereas bulimia is characterized by a pattern of binge eating followed by induced vomiting or the use of laxatives.
