1. Not necessarily. Anorexic people usually have the mindset that they themselves are fat, no matter how skinny they actually are. This could be considered a distored self-image. However, they don't really see slim people as fat - just themselves.
2. Binge eating is typically related to bulimia, but bulimia can lead to anorexia, and vice-versa. So yes, it is possible.
Hope that helped. Anorexia is an extremely serious disorder, and if you have it / know anyone that has had it, I really hope that you'll get some help, or at least talk to someone who can help you out.
1. its usually just themselves, but they compare their bodies to everyone elses.
2. NO, i haven't.
1. No they have a distorted image of their own body only
2. no.
Usually anorexic people think that slim people are chunky. They also think that they are really fat. Anorexics usually do binge eat though.
1. its funny but when your weight changes your view on how people look tends to change with it, when you drop weight you see how people carry extra fat on them that is disgusting, but when you gain weight such things look more normal and natural, same way with putting on muscle mass or being fit, when your body changes what is and isn't attractive to you tends to change too
2. anorexics can binge, often this is how they become both anorexic and bulemic, often switching between the diseases in terms of medical diagnosis
I think that anorexic people having issues with their own weight. They are concerned with their own weight.
As far as binge eating that is a characteristic of a bulimic, someone with anorexia starves themselves.
1. not really, they just focu on themselves and
2. YES!!!! THAT WAS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!! NOW I EAT OVER 12500 CALORIES BELIEVE IT OR NOT AND I SEE A THERAPIST FOR IT!!!
