What happens to the body of someone with anorexia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Withers away: Due to severe calorie restriction the body uses its own body stores for energy. Over time you become thin and malnourished. A famous singer Karen Carpenter died from Anorexia. Help is available- get to see a doctor soon. It is something you can't help yourself out of. See a doctor.
