Why don't people understand that a person with anorexia is not choosing to not eat?

Really good question but I think I know why. Is someone is OCD and do something over and over, like wash their hands, or even the whole house, the worst that can happen is they will have awfully wrinkled skin. A person that has anorexia starts to disappear right before your eyes and no matter what you say or do, you can't stop them from harming themself. Even though it is something that you don't choose, it is something that you CAN choose to overcome. You just have to want to make that choice. I have pictures of my sister, 5'7' and weighing 85 pounds. She looked like something out of Etheopia. She had all sorts of resentments that she just refused to talk about and the only thing she could control was her food, so she did. I'm also happy to say that when she found work she loved, a guy who really cared for her, and good friends, all of the sudden her need to control wasn't so imporatant anymore. She is a whole lot healthier, still thin, but not starved, and happy. Good luck with whatever it is that you need to work out.
