Right so i have a friend who suffers from Anorexia..shes been " recovering" for a while..but not really recovering shes stil scared of food..even vegetables and fruit..at one point she was watched all the time to make sure she didnt exercise, cuz she exercised a ton ...and she weighs like 5 stone now...shess 15..and somethings always made me wonder...when we talked she always used to say she wishes she had a body like mine...im just under 9 stone..curvy...so i fail to understand why say that (she used to say it genuinely not when i wud say im fat she wud look at pictures of me and say it..so i wasnt asking for it ) its always confused me...?:what::what: Any ideas ?

It is because they are never pleased with themselves and they think the best of everyone exept of themselves

Distorted body image... same with me, I see people who probably weigh more than me but I see them as beautiful, but if I put on any weight, I see myself as fat and disgusting...

People with anorexia often see themselves as fat, etc. even if they're like.. skin and bones.
