What in god's name are you talking about??? Anorexia doesn't cause weight gain, Big Macs do.

easy question to answer. If you dont eat your body remembers so the next time you eat anything even if its just a bit it will store it(fat) so that you have something to live off in your body. If you eat small meals about 4 times a day it is a better way to look healthy and skinny rather then looking like a gross skinny stick with anorexia. It'll stop sooner or later trust me on this one

If you stop eating for the short-term, your body's metabolism will slow down. This happens a lot to people who are dieting and exercising. These people exercise but don't lose the weight b/c they are not eating enough. The body thinks it is starving and therefore slows down the metabolism to preserve energey, etc.

I'm anorexic AND bulemic...it's not that you GAIN weight by being that..but when you starve yourself...when you DO eat...you tend to OVER eat...thus causing you to GAIN weight...that's why I was bulemic too!!!
I went from 180 lbs to 85 lbs at the age of 30...I was wearing my daughter's belt to hold up my jeans..and she was in kindergarten!! I did it because my ex husband told me I was fat and ugly!!! SO...when I started dating a man..he said I could stand to loose a few pounds...That's when I started...That was in 1995...I've since remarried but still battle with the disease of bulemia ~ not an easy habit to get out of.... You need to actually go on a doctor's diet and NOT starve yourself...you are making your muscles burn off their sugars to keep you around...TRUST me...that's a painful way to die..one of my friends LOST her battle with both eating disorders...Now...being a skeleton..she's skinny...

Becuse they shut down their metablism. Your metablism is like a coal burner, you feed it coal and the fire grows. You take coal off that burner and it dies. You need to eat healthier foods. Try vegitables and lean cuts of meat fruits, and WATER!
Anorexia is a deadly condition and if you or anyone you know is suffering it than you need to go see professional help before its too late.

Your body will go into different stages.
First it will preserve all your fat because it thinks that you are starving and there is no food around.
Then it will start using all its resources. It will even eat up the your muscle tissue if you don't eat.

well atleast you dont have bulemia and didnt swallow a fork like the girl I saw on ER stories last night!
I believe if you lose too much weight and do not eat, that your body will start eating itself, like breaking down..EW!

You don't gain weight....you just THINKL you are fat. Even if you are fat, so what? Love who you are, and the rest will fall into place.

not eating will slow down your metabolism, therefore making weight gain that much easier...dumbass.
