Anorexics are usually very self-conscious. They have a low body-image. This can lead them to think that they have flaws that need to be "fixed" through extreme dieting, or that they can become "more beautiful" is they starve themselves to lose weight. Many feel that they are too heavy, or that they are fat, even when they are not. If they are working to keep their anorexia a secret, some might feel alone because they are afraid to confine in others, for fear that they might let something slip.
How much weight do anorexics lose?
