A person with anorexia fears gaining weight. They tend to have body image problems and most likely family problems. They tend to be perfectionists and have low self-esteem.
The image that the media portrays for women does not make it any easier on a person who already has body image distortion.
A person is not stupid for being anorexic. It is almost beyond their control. It's not something they can switch on or off. There are so many things that factor in to a person being anorexic.
Great analysis.....
