Question by Celina: When would someone notice weight loss in a person with beginning anorexia?
This question is pretty straightforward.. NO I do not have anorexia, nor do I plan on getting it. I’m just curious when the weight loss is noticeable. Anyone with/had anorexia or observed it in a family member, would you please answer this?

The thing is- unless you physically NOTICE that the person is not eating very much (not even a weight loss) amount you can’t assume that they are not just losing weight healthily.
Plus actual anorexics are very good at hiding things. I am a recovering anorexic, and I would wear baggy clothes, and lots of layers to hide the weightloss. At first I lost weight very quickly, then there was a stalling, and then I limited my food even more and kept losing. So to answer your question, anywhere from 2 weeks- 1 and a half months probably.
Hope I helped!
