Tbh I have terrible eating habits my self skipping meals and eating crap, but I do exercise and always give my children breakfast and dinner so they have a better routine so they wont have my bad habits.
Anorexia I would say is a control matter for some like they cannot control the
bad things that happen in life but they can control they're eating. Just my opnion.
So there fore the sufferer has control on their life the eating habits.

It's not really about food at all, with anorexia. One piece of advice I'd offer, for what it's worth, is to parents; never make an issue out of food with young children. Me and me old mum used to battle about it daily. From quite a young age food made me ill; the sight of it, the smell of it, the texture. I wanted nourishment in a pill or injection form. I hated 'eating'. We had running battles where I'd be left at the table until I ate and, when I invariably didn't, there'd be tears, recriminations and punishment. I'm nearly 5'8" and when I was 23 I weighed about six and a half stone. I could go for days without eating and would have just crackers or soup if I had to eat something to stay standing up. It had NOTHING to do with wanting to be thin. In fact, I used to get really irritated when people told me how thin I was. It's very much psychological. What happened with me was I settled into a profession and settled into a relationship and found some kind of contentment that took away my aversion to food and eating. It's been a while now and I've never gone back to being underweight - could stand to lose a half stone or so, but that's fine. I'm healthy. Obesity is entirely unrelated, IMO.
