If she was anorexic....?!


Question:

If she was anorexic....?

So my Spanish teacher from Argentina was anorexic when she was in her 20's. She is maybe 5"7 or so, and she weighed 60 pounds. Now, she does eat. She does it, but she is EXTREMELY thin. She looks like she weighs maybe 90 pounds. She looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch size 00! And her face is very bony and extra skin makes her look older than she really is.

So my question is:
I thought that if you are anorexic, and then you start to eat, you gain all that weight back. How is that true if she is SOOO thin now?


Answers:

well you said she eats but do you know how much she eats?

it is true that your metabolism is drastically lowed if you become anorexic but if she isnt eating all that much it wouldnt make a difference. your body still needs a certain amount of calories to function, and if you eat that amount of less you wont gain weight. also she could work out a lot. thats a possibility. or she could have developed bulimia, a condition in which she may throw up food she has eaten later.

many times an eating disorder never truely leaves someone. Ed's often run their course for life.
