I don't understand what people think about anorexia?!
Question: I don't understand what people think about anorexia!?
People seem to think that if a person becomes anorexic, then they actually gain weight, because your body goes into "starvation mode" and everything you eat gets put on as fat!. Well, then why are all the anorexics I see so skinny!? And isn't the point of anorexia not to eat!? And, if you were anorexic, it wouldn't matter it you were in starvation mode or not, because eventually, especially if you were doing rigorous exercise , your body would have no choice but to use its fat supply for the energy you were giving away through exercise, and everyday activities!.
Right!? I mean, thats why they're skinny!.
Am I totally wrong here!? Actually I'm just confused!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I had an eating disorder, I lost a lot of weight!. And I ended up looking rather sickly, according to other people!. Your body will store anything that it can in order to survive when you start to starve yourself!. Your muscle than becomes flabby because the nutrients are being taken away from it in order to make you survive!. With me, the point at first was to limit my intake of food, than when it took over me, I could barely eat without feeling like I failed myself!. With exercise, you would burn off the excess weight!. And than you would become very thin, yet unhealthy!. It's really all about control!. Control over events in your personal, social, and job life!. It's really wierd and sad!. I still battle it even though I am considered to be at a healthy weight!. It's always there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hate it when I see answers where they say that you don't lose weight when your anorexic!. I have been anorexic for two years and at my worst I could lose as much as a 1/2 a pound to a pound a day!. However, when I was in treatment for six weeks, on a 3,500-4,000 calorie diet, I only gained 10 pounds!. And I went in at about 85 lbs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Peple who are anorexic do not gain weight by starving and throwing up thier food!. What is worse when you starve yourself your body will start to burn muscle and your body will waste away!.
