[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 715891, member: 1550"] It is in my family plus I have a good friend with an eating disorder, but the friend is bulemic and very kind. She has never been severely underweight Does anyone know if the mental illness of anorexia go hand in hand with a sort of narcicistic obsession with their looks? Why do they over excersize even when they are already emaciated? Do they tend to be nitpicky and critical toward others? I have read it runs in families. I believe it. Two family members (at least) in my very small family. One was an uncle, now deceased. I never liked him and once went a decade or more without seeing him. When I saw him again I was shocked at how gaunt and drawn he looked. He had lost tons and looked sickly. He had once been fairly handsome...a man who delighted in juggling various girlfriends and hurting a few badly. The other anorexic is still alive. The person does not think the person is sick with anorexic, but looks emaciated. I have almost never seen this person eat. Big over exercisor. Wakes up way early seven days a week to do rigerous workout 2 1/2 hours a day. If weighs over 100 pounds, diets. Looks way too gaunt, but thinks others are jealous because is thin, but I doubt it. Not when one is that thin. It doesnt look normal. Why do anorexics love to cook for others but wont eat? Any insight? What about controlling others? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? I used to think one got over anorexia, but I know now that it seems to be a lifelong struggle. A sad one. Thanks for any insight, if anyone has some. If none, thanks for at least reading this. Have a great day:) [/QUOTE]
