you don't feel as if you need to gain weight because you feel inscure about yourslef, and you don't want to be even worse so you have eating disorders due to low self esteem.
Our disgusting society dictates only skinny girls get boyfriends so overweight chicks, who deserve love too, might develop a low self-esteem and feel better starving themselves to lose weight, which becomes an eating disorder or worse. Boys can suffer this too. I know; both me and my brother have been down this road and it really sucks.

Yes, there is evidence to suggest that low self-esteem can be a contributing factor to the development of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia. Individuals with low self-esteem may use disordered eating behaviors as a way to cope with negative feelings about themselves and their body image. Therapy often focuses on improving self-esteem as part of the treatment for eating disorders.
