You are seeking something to control, I used to be anorexic and you don't think about becoming anorexic, if you ARE anorexic you don't even realize it is happening really, you just lose your appetite and choose not to eat.
With my situation, I had anorexic 2x and much of it stemmed from depression, it resurfaced in my late 20's and with so much taking place in my life around me, I had no control, the stress I endured, loss of appetite, I could NOT eat anything.
Eventually I did enough damage to now live with Irritable Bowel syndrome. Don't think for a minute anorexia does not effect your health and well being, it not only effects you long term (maybe not right away but as you grow older you see problems surface) but during the anorexia, you mind feels at a loss, short temper, anger, added depression, even suicidal thoughts.
Read some self help books, you need to change your way of thinking to more positive. Peer pressure and life can take a toll on us physically and mentally.
Get a book "Conversations with God Book 1" Neale DOnald walsh. I refer this to so many people because it helped me, in fact if not for that book I am not sure I would still be here today. It is not religious as it is common sense. You will read it and think "Oh, wow, why didn't I think of that" and things start to make sense in life. Perspective will change.
I am 41 now, but I never want to go back to those times, since I read that book 8 yrs ago, my life is nothing but forward and instead of getting angry, I laugh at it all. I do still lose it time to time, not as tolerable of things, but I try to make light and laugh at even the worst things.
My mother has Parkinson's Disease, cannot walk too well, instead of getting upset over her inability to walk, we laugh at it, I took her home after shopping one day, took her groceries inside the house, came back outside to see her stuck behind my jeep not able to walk, I said "you still out here, what the h;; are you still standing her for?" and we laughed, I helped her into the house, I even sing "We're off to see the wizard" and laugh about it. Otherwise, we would just cry. This is how you get through life, not that it is a joke, but think about it, so much in life IS a joke, pathetic, and we cannot change anything but how we see things, accept things that take place and how we react to it.
