Humorexia

All these strange ”-orexias” have gotten my creative juices going. Consequently, I started thinking about the possibilities for new “conditions”, and I just had to share them with you…
Exorexia – When you lose weight to spite your “ex” (husband, boyfriend, lover, whatever.)
Gownorexia – Usually suffered by brides looking to fit into their wedding outfits.
Firstdateorexia – When women order food on a first date but just pick at it. Usually followed later by BenandJerryorexia, where pints of ice cream are consumed while chatting on the phone with friends about the new beau.
Itsbeenyearsorexia – This is a phenomenon that happens around the time of one’s 10th or 20th high school reunion. Weight is lost, but then regained almost immediately after the event.
Bikinorexia – Usually happens in early spring when women try on too-tight swimwear in hideously lit dressing rooms. May coincide with tanorexia, the belief that the darker the skin color, the smaller one will appear.
Have any “-orexias” of your own? Please share!
