Interesting. The idea that gets spread around about anorexics is that they honestly believe themselves to be too fat, even when they're dangerously underweight. Are you saying that's not really the case? (It always seemed iffy to me...)


No, the distorted body image is absolutely a part of it. But it's just one part of several that make anorexia what it is. It is a complex problem, and not well reduced to one element.
