some people might go into binging, because theyve starved there body for so long and it desperatly needs fat put on and food eating food might feel good and they pig out on it though that will probably just lead tem back to anorexia how people deal with overcomming an eating disorder is diferent with each person though it usually takes them a ong time before there able to eat food properly again without thinking there obese when there not

Answer #2

its natural for a starved body to want to eat more. with the lack of nutrition and evrything, thats why I really just dont understand why someone would do this to themselfs. if she gained more weight its because since she was starving, her matabolisim wasent burning anything so over time it becomes really slow making her gain weight after she got over it. as far as bulimia, its just as bad and even worse because whats the point of havin that dream body with a mouth full of acid erodid teeth?

Answer #3

what happens, is when you dont eat much (or nothing), the times that you do actually eat, your body is like ‘OMG NOM NOM NOM FOOD’ and sucks it all in because it dosent know when it will be fed again. so instead of your body sorting through unnecessary fats and toxins, it just holds on to it all.

So when people stop eating, they may loose lots of weight, but as soon as they start eating again (even just a bit) they will rapidly put on weight.

Usually this causes them to stop eating again because they do actually put on weight. They probably get to a normal size and think they are humungous (which isnt actually their fault as anorexia is a mental illness, the person physically looks in the mirror and actually sees a huge person). So they will eat less etc. A lot of the time anorexics die because of this.
