I can tell you this from experience. Starvation diets don't work because the word 'diet' means for a short period of time, or for a period of time. Starvation diets work for a short period of time, but then once you start eating again, you start gaining weight like crazy. Anorexics lose weight because it is a lifestyle, and it is a permanent thing. Every day, for years, even, their diets are severely limited. But to some anorexics, even an apple and a piece of bread can be a binge. If you compare that to a starvation "diet", it seems like a severely limited amount of food. It's all in the state of mind.

People say you don't get thin if you starve yourself if this is true how do anorexics lose weight?
They are different definitions of 'thin'. An anorexic person is thin in an extremely unhealthy way; they lose just as much muscle as fat. A normal 'thin' person just has very little body fat, but the usual amount of other tissue. This makes them far healthier. Anorexics don't completely starve themselves because they'd die. They consume enough calories to survive (usually 300-400 daily, maybe less, like an apple and diet Coke for example) but not enough to gain weight, so they lose it instead. Starving does work but is a terrible idea.

Some anorexics will try to take the focus off of their lack of eating by baking or cooking food for others, playing with their food, helping younger children eat, and so on.

What a scary question. You didn't ask "do they" - which is just as scary as your misunderstanding of anorexia. Anorexics are merely people who starve themselves because they constantly believe they are imperfect or fat - normally due to low self esteem. Anorexics can eat ice cream. They can eat steak. Anorexics can eat whatever they want, the problem is the fact that they don't. Do not emulate an anorexic. Do not starve yourself to become skinnier - it will kill you.
