For the menstrual cycle to happen, it requires calories for the body to functin and for the muscles to work properly. There are also many nutrients that are lost in the tissues and blood that are expelled during a period, as those nutrients would have been needed if a baby was to be supported. In anorexics, there is usually a large defecit of calories. In order to save vital nutrients and energy for survival, the body stops the menstrual cycle. It is viewed as "unnecessary" (unlike lung or heart functions, for example, which are needed to survive), and so it is stopped until normal weight and food inatke resume once again.
