It usually starts when someone is on a diet and becomes upsest with it . then when they look themselves they see a very obease person. Then everytime they lose weight the think they look bigger. Not all anorexics see themselves as fat though, that is a popular characteristic of someone with anorexia but not everyone deals with that emotional trauma. I struggled with anorexia for a while and knew I was skinny, I was just deathly afraid of BECOMING overweight. I didn't see myself as overweight. Both are unhealthy characteristics of an eating disorder.
