Anorexia has never been "glamourous".
Usually people who develop anorexia have OCD or are a perfectionist. People who develop anorexia can also be in a sport or job that requires a certain body type such as modeling, dancing, or gymnastics. It usually starts by a simple diet, then they start counting calories, then they start restricting intake and obsessively exercising. People who develop this disorder usually feel the need to control something in their lives maybe if they have an alcoholic parent, are being bullied or have a hard time coping.
