[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 594840, member: 1550"] Thanks. I was just curious. This is my sister who is 53. I had always thought she was very well adjusted because she knows how to put on the act of "I'm all right." So I admired her all of my life and our little spats...I forgave her and blamed myself. I don't plan on talking to her again, but always wondered if you could have anorexa all of your life. I don't remember a time she ate or had even close to a normal body weight. Funnily enough, she LOVES to cook and to watch other people eat. I mean, her kitchen is full of great smells and recipes and she loves to bake, yet she never eats what she cooks. Her daughter is a lot like her...worries about her body image all the time, runs six miles a day, is a shark on nutrition issues. I had always heard anorexia was a teen/young 20's illness so I kind of just agreed with her that she was cured even though, although she doesn't realize it, other people think she looks ill. I wonder if it runs in families. My uncle was a lot like her and only ate certain, odd concoctions and ran over twenty miles a day until his 70's and then down to three. He died at 75, which surprised me. With all his running and the supplements he took, I thought he'd go on forever! I never knew the cause of death, but there was no inkling he'd been sick. [/QUOTE]
