Weight isn't always just "gained back".
She needs to actively eat more.
Yes.
Too much. Enough that you can die--like my friend.
If you noticed a lack in appetite or she has a significant weight loss, be sure to talk to her about it. Anorexia is serious. Just be a good friend and help her as much as you can.
Impossible, actually. Once you're anorexic you are going to keep losing weight, until you are the most anorexic you can be, and then you'll eventually die. Why would you want to be anorexic without losing weight? Isn't that the whole POINT of anorexia?
Be sure your friend really is Anorexic and watch how they eat. Anorexics eat little; play with their food and place food on their plate so it looks like they are eating a lot. Just because someone is very thin does not mean they are Anorexic and it could be a metabolism problem. Good friends can communicate and be honest with each other so you could talk to your friend and calmly tell them you are concerned about their weight. You may find that your friend eats well, but doesn't pack on the pounds. Generally, Anorexic individuals will not admit they are Anorexic and hide their bad habits of eating very well. If you can't get anywhere with your friend then perhaps talk to their mother about the situation out of concern and tell the mother that this is in the strictest of confidence. If your friend should be Anorexic they need psychological help and, if your friend is not a minor there is not much one can do if the person refuses to go for help.
They can be bulimic but not anorexic. Actually, a person can certainly be mentally anorexic regardless of their weight. I believe that weight or BMI should not be so important when diagnosing anorexia. Anyone can be psychologically anorexic.
They can't. When an anorexic person recovers s/he has to return to a "normal" eating pattern. This will make them gain at least some of the weight back. It varries (the amount of weight gained back) based on the person, how much they initially lost, and how much they recover. They would probably be able to return to their ariginal weight (assuming they began at a normal, healthy weight) or return to a healthy weight.
Cats don't become anorexic like humans can and generally there is a health issue creating it and a cat that is too thin and is eating, but not gaining weight or isn't eating should be taken to a vet to be properly diagnosed as there are too many variables as to why the cat may not be eating or is eating and not gaining proper weight.

Roughly 2-3 kilograms. You should tell your friend that she or he should stop this harmful practice immediately, and/or get professional help.
the veronicas are not anorexic. they are just naturally thin although they did lose some weight in 2008. they are not anorexic though.
If you're female you are NOT anorexic, you are about the regular weight If you're male then you have a real high chance of being anorexic.
Anorexia is an eating disorder. It is classified as a mental disorder witness physical manifestations. A anorexic has an intense fear of gaining weight, so they will cut back on calories and fat and essentially starve themselves and excessively exercise in a desperate attempt to lose a dangerously unhealthy amount of weight.
