I thought anorexia was being extremely thin and not eating , not what she is.

Anorexia is just eating nothing or too little over an extended period of time. An obese person could be anorexic for a couple of months and still be obese.

That's not really anorexia though. Anorexia implies lack of control (or in a way, severe control issues) due to extreme dysmorphic issues. Deliberately eating very little for a few months is essentially a crash diet. Not healthy, but also not anorexic.

And to the other pp, in a way, I’m thankful I didn’t know this and appreciate the correction.

I read it as she is formerly anorexic and considers herself anorexic and in recovery, so comments complimenting her on weight loss are triggering for her.

It's not at all uncommon for anorexics in recovery to continue to struggle with food in some way and some of them do go on to gain a lot of weight, through eating behaviors and having messed up their metabolism for years.

Keeping your calories to a sensible amount and not eating everything you want whenever you want, is not the same as "anorexic."

"Triggering: The plus-size model warned people on Twitter and Instagram to keep their comments about her weight to themselves." But she's made herself famous by publicly discussing and baring her body. Maybe if she quit posting about/discussing her body/weight on instagram, then people would follow suit. But that would mean the loss of her celebrity and source of revenue.

You're confusing the end result of anorexia with the behavior. But I would agree it seems more likely she is bulimic as people who restrict enough to lose weight the way anorexics do aren't eating enough to maintain her weight. I think its hard to imagine her not having some type of restrictive disorder and a binging disorder side by side though.

Some people just can't get enough attention.

If you’re overweight and stop eating enough calories you’ll get really sick, so it seems like you could be anorexic at any size. But it must be much less risky if you are normal BMI/obese.

I think it has always been clear that she has issues with self esteem and food. Quibbling about which type of disorder she has is likely counterproductive.

Sounds like she should quit her job as a plus size model and a body positivity model.

None of her life sounds healthy, at any size.

Umm..... a couple of thoughts...
Can you have anorexia and continue to be obese? Perhaps she has a different, albeit similar, eating disorder?
She looks like Lindsay Lohan.
