That is one disease I will never understand. Anorexia. How can they look at their skeletal reflection in a mirror and believe they are looking a fat person?

A self-centric form of delusion? I never hear of them seeing others the way they see themselves.

Because it is a psychological disease. If you ask an anorexic to draw themselves, they draw a fat person. My daughter is a recovered anorexic. I highly recommend the Maudsley approach to anyone with anorexic children. It is amazing the number of young children with this condition; as young as 9 and not only girls, but boys, also, are affected. I thank God every day that my daughter beat this.
