There is not one exact "most likely cause" for any type of eating disorder. There are many factors that often lead to a person developing and eating disroder. The most common factors can be grouped into the category of "pressures". This would be like teasing / bullying about weight or appearances, competetion to be "thinner" or "prettier" between friends and family, and how many media icons protray images and ideals of "thin is good".
