Fear of being fat.: A friend who thinks she's fat when her weight is normal. Obsessive thinking around food. Restricting food severely potentially with obsessive exercise. The key here is the distorted body image and thinking. A young active lifestyle with healthy foods and exercise is fine. It's the obsessive fear that shows the difference in normal and anxorexia. Help her find help! You might save her life.
