Eating disorder's start with things like bad self image,or many other things and it can become almost like an obsession. You keep thinking your fat so you keep losing weight but eventually you hit rock bottom where you are bones and skin.
People in a sense do it on purpose, because they are consciously starving themselves so it is intentional.
But it's like any other addiction and the longer you do it the harder it is to stop. Hope that answered your question.
