Anorexia can cause a great rebound if not being treated well.
This rebound will turn people into bulimics.
The body suffers for calories and end up
"consuming exceptionally large quantities of food. Calorie counts range into the tousands for a single episode of binge eating (Signs and Symptoms of Bulimia, Psychiatric Disorders, 2006)."
The pattern of losing and gaining weight is very hard on the body especially the LIVER.
The body sometimes cannot handle all the stress and eating habits that change time by time.

I ran across something that I thought might be interesting to you by chance. There was an article on the BBC's Web site about "pro-anorexia" Web sites. It was astonishing for me to learn that there are many Web sites that promote anorexia as something wonderful and give advice to girls who want to become anorexic or support those who already have anorexia. The article mentioned an NGO in England that tries to warn people against such sites and believes the their creators should be sued. It calls itself the National Centre for Eating Disorders. This group might be a good one for you to look into.

PS: I just noticed that Newsweek also published an article on pro-anorexia (pro-ana) and pro-bulimia (pro-mia) Web sites. In doing a search for these kinds of Web sites I found that most of them no longer exist. They probably got too much pressure from people and organizations who saw them as extremely dangerous.
Mr. jodias.
That is a very interesting thing that you have found.
I think as well that the pro-anorexia sites do not exist because of the pressure of so many people. To me it is strange they they are actual homepages like that since anorexia and bulimia is not a diet. It is a sickness that you may die from.
I hope there will be less and less pro-eating disorder sites for the people who need actual help.
Thank you for commenting.
