Anorexia was first noted and recorderd officially in the late 1800s. (around 1870 or so.) However, smaller claims stretch back farther than that. Notes say that Catherine of Sienna often refused to eat, and frequently only ate small amounts of food. (Starvation is one of the biggest factors / signs of anorexia.) Also, reports going in to 1600s suggest anorexia through observing people who starved themselves to be thin and such. It didn't become "popular", per say, until the mid- to late-1900s and into the 2000s.
