That's not true though. Most people with eating disorders are very aware of it.

Would you mind if I used this photo in a collage I will be making to help bring self harm into the light and show people they are not alone when it comes to their feelings and addictions?

So much political incorrectness here. Peers and family HATE thin women, and a lil more than two-thirds of Americans are overweight and damn proud. If you feel insecure and are emotionally weak, you will not be odd enough to deny your passive aggressive friends' and family's constantly feeding you until you become fatter than them. Women are very jealous and horrid towards eachother this way. Peer pressure causes weight GAIN, not weight loss.
Anorexia is not the act of losing weight purposefully; anorexia is when you do not eat at all or barely eat, because you are mentally ill or lack nutritional information. A person who hates how fat they are and have decided to lose bodyweight will have recurring moderate caloric deficits and abstain from high fructose corn syrup which leads to a caloric deficit that causes weight loss. Some doctors will tell you tracking calories, even if it's to maintain weight, is anorectic behavior, and that disliking your current weight will lead to disordered eating. These doctors are called quacks. What you will need is google or a nutritionist.

Actually, they're usually one of the first. We admit it to ourselves, but deny it to everyone else. We tell ourselves that, as soon as we reach happy weight, we'll tell someone and get help. Sad thing is, however, that there is no happy weight. The closer we get, the further the happy weight drops.
One thing that many people don't understand about anorexia is that it's not about food. Aside from the fact that food is calories, and calories are fat, the disorder is purely mental. It gives its victims a completely different mentality and rationale. We (as a sufferer) don't think the way that normal people do. We tell ourselves that thin is beautiful. Other girls who are bigger can be beautiful, but we will only be beautiful if we're thin. We believe that EVERY social interaction is a direct result of our disorder. If a boy/girl doesn't like us, it's nothing to do with our personality--it's because we're too fat. If we get thinner, they'll like us. If our boy/girlfriend or friends breaks up with/ditch us, it's because we're fat and they're embarrassed/disgusted with us.
And I say boy/girl for a reason. Girls aren't the only victims. Men and boys suffer too. Honestly, I think that it's probably worse for them. Anorexia is viewed as a girls disorder, so they feel emasculated if they have it. They're less inclined to seek help for it. Also, people don't think about it as much with guys. When seeing an overly thin male, an eating disorder is never the first thing to pop into mind. In reality, males are just as susceptible to the disorder as females.
Also, sufferers of anorexia aren't always the thinnest people. I know many with a bigger bone structure or whom are naturally more cushioned than other people. The disorder is just as, if not moreso, difficult for them, because they feel as though they'll never achieve it. Anorexia is a mentality, not just a physical disorder.
Sufferers of anorexia and bulimia, when looking in the mirror, do not see what bystanders see. There is a chemical imbalance in the brain that causes them to see fat, ugly, etc, when others see skin and bones. No matter how many times that they are told that they are thin, it is nearly impossible for them to see.
And on a final note, eating disorders are rarely cured. It is still unknown exactly how they are caused, and a cure/magic pill has not yet been found. If a previous victim tells you that they are cured, it is most likely a cover-up and they are still suffering.
(Disclaimer: I'm certain that the poster knows all of this. This comment is moreso for readers benefit.)

Unforunately I had an eating disorder for awhile, I hated how I looked and it would of continued if it wasn't for my best friend (I'm not one for best friends but she saved my life so she deserves the title), she took pictures with me for a long period of time and then once she finally had enough pictures that she thought she could change my mind she laid all the pictures out in front of me, telling me that I was so beautiful before this whole thing changed me, and then telling me she still loved me but I wasn't getting prettier, I was growing ugly, because I wasn't healthy I was ill, thanks to her...and my mother, I have started eating again, yes it is little but it is a start...I'm just happy they changed my mind before it was to late.
