Because many anorexics were never overweight to begin with so their skin was never stretched. Skin that has not been stretched is very elastic. Once you stretch the skin and definitely once you get stretch marks getting the skin to snap back to a smaller size becomes very difficult, if not impossible.
However, some anorexics DO have hanging skin.

They have loose skin. Don't kid yourself. Usually it is in the abdomen and areas that are covered with clothes. Unless you loose a LOT of weight and dont crash diet, the loose skin is not that bad. I lost 70lbs in a year and a half and I dont have that much of a problem. Some on my tummy and some stretch marks but I feel alot better and I am at a healthy weight.

the loose skin comes from previous weight that has stretched the skin. Obviously the anorexics with no skin hanging were not that large to begin with.

That is not true at all. If you lose weight too quickly, you have far more chance of getting loose skin, whether that is through anorexia, extreme dieting, illness or weight loss surgery.
HTH.

You get loose skin as you get older. Don't know many people who became anorexic later in life - it is usually the young chicks who were not fat to begin with.

The loose skin is because the fat stretched it. If an anorexic was fat before he would have loose skin, too.

anorexics are those youngsters that very particular of their looks!!...so even though they are skinny already still they think they are not.....but when you are fat...and you do the abrupt dieting...sure enough your skin hang...thats why.....doctors encourages you to lose weight in a healthy way....means, gradual dieting that you are not depriving your body with all the nutrients necessary....just cut your fats and carbo.....
