When I was in high school a few years ago, I was on the Varsity Wrestling team
             and was exposed for the first time to weight and maintaining eating habits. I myself lost
             twenty pounds to make weight, but there is one individual, which stands out in my mind
             when it comes to the idea of having a eating disorder. This teammate of mine, would
             constantly be trying to lose to get down to the next lowest weight class. He was a senior
             at the time when I was on the team, me in my junior year. He started the season at 166
             lbs and by a quarter of the way through the season he was down to 135lbs. This is
             without the approval of our coach who didn't want him to get down that low, but my
             teammate insisted that it wouldn't be a problem and he could do it. So, of course
             everyone just turned their head and let it slide. Him and I would run around the floors of
             the school, even after a very rigorous practice to keep the weight down even more
             sometimes. He ran everyday. He use to tell me when we ran together that he wasn't
             feeling well and that he felt like he was getting weaker during our practice matches at the
             end of practice. This is a symptom; something that he told me was affecting him, better
             known as a subjective complaint. His behavior can be explained by the begging criterion
             for Anorexia. He obviously refused to maintain bodyweight and his loss lead to his
             weight being less than 85% of his expected or obtain expected weight gain during this
             developmental period of his life. I also can say that I personally was exposed to his
             personal fear of gaining weight. We would talk about practice and other things as we ran
             together and wrestled each other in practice. He would complain about how his parents
             were having pizza tonight for dinner and he didn't know if he would go downstairs
             tonight for fear that he would take a piece and start gaining weight ba...
