Some people with anorexia do simply restrict their eating and eat very little. More common however, is for that control to occasionally break down, and for them to either ‘allow’ themselves to eat, or to feel a sense of having lost control and eaten. If this happens then they may try to do something to purge the food – try to stop it being absorbed – because they are so scared of gaining weight and getting fat. Some people who have struggled with anorexia for a long time start to slip into more and more cycles of bingeing and purging food (for more information about this, see ‘what is bulimia?’). This is because the body, once it is starving, longs for food, and in the long term many people are unable to keep up the strict control they aim for over food.
