I doubt a doctor would diagnose a 350 lb woman with Anorexia Nervosa. The severity of the disease is based on the BMI of the person suffering. Her BMI is nowhere near the number to be officially diagnosed with Anorexia. Her self-diagnosis is meaningless and it’s comparable to me saying I have Mercury poisoning because I feel run down and tired.

Anorexia is an eating disorder where you feel a need to keep your weight as low as possible. Symptoms of anorexia include believing you're fat when you're a healthy weight or underweight, eating very little or missing meals. She is not Anorexic. She has an eating disorder.
I don't know why I'm supposed to have an opinion on someone else's eating disorder. that's her personal business and I think she's brave to try and bring awareness to the fact that people with ED don't all look the same
Anorexic? How can someone be anorexic and has this weight? Binge eaters and anorexic at the same time are the ones who might be her category, I think she has Anorexia nervosa, and Bing eats.
What the... 😐 if she lost over like 100 pounds in a month then I would believe it... not to be mean. But.. she’s obese. I think what she means is an eating disorder. Eating toooo much. 🤭
Tess holliday im ngl is kind of fucking stupid she’s had sm bad takes so it make it hard to take her seriously 😐 she said the word “healthy” had negative connotations to it. Then went and thanked a girl on her Instagram who called her “healthy” but yeah she’s weird.

It’s sad that people only talk about fat to obese people but dare not to talk about people with cancer, syndromes, though if you have a disability that is obesity you’ll be bound to be bullied and teased.
Eating disorders are based on mental stuff, so they dont have a certain look. It's possible that she found out she could have an eating disorder in the beginning of the process. Pretending like she has an eating disorder wouldn't be a good way to get attention, i guess she is kinda trying to raise awareness...
wow. how does she then still manage to be so fat? that must be some serious determination to stay big. i mean either that or that claim is bullshit. yeah she obviously has an eating disorder. anorexia? unlikely story.
Hmmm I don’t believe this to be honest... seems like a desperate plea for media attention... nobody is that size without food and maybe she suffers from dysmorphia but as a recovering anorexic I don’t believe it.
anorexia by definition is having an abnormally low body weight - For a whale she definitely matches the description - Yea I believe her she is anorexic
It depends on what definition she's using, and it may be applicable if you interpret it loosely, and even if you do that, she's only anorexic via a technicality, but we all know in practicality that what she's saying is very silly.

You don’t get to that size by being anorexic.
Interesting. I know emotional disorders can manifest in many different ways but I have not considered that for anorexia.

But she's so pretty despite her weight.
As a nurse she could be in very early stages of anorexia!
@Laciandmaci Yes, you know better than me, but there is some cases where the person binge eats and starves himself at the same time.
yes that is also true!!! Take care hun!
@Laciandmaci You too:) Are you a nurse? Do you still practice it?
I am actually a resident nurse working in the ICU and nutritional dept.
@Laciandmaci I've always wanted to work in the medical field, so you do everything concerning nutrion?
some yes not all I an not assigned to one particular dept. The hospital keeps moving me arounf to see what dept I like best! So far I like the ICU!

many people have an unhealthy and complicated relationship with their body, and it doesn’t look the same across the board
that’s my only takeaway

Anorexia is a disease not a size description.
"An eating disorder causing people to obsess about weight and what they eat.”
She has serious issues. And frankly, I don't give a shit about her one way or the other. Her and her tats are disgusting.
Who is Tess Holliday? LOL And whoever she is, that girl is NOT anorexic. LOL
LMAO... did I get downvoted for not knowing who she is, or for stating the obvious?
Hmmm I don’t believe this to be honest... seems like a desperate plea for media attention... nobody is that size without food and maybe she suffers from dysmorphia but as a recovering anorexic I don’t believe it.
Not all the people saying she can’t anorexia because she’s overweight. Big yikes. I don’t like her but I hope she gets the proper help.
I don't believe her, but if it's true, she should hold the cure and get into a proper size before fixing her issue and call it a blessing.
Anorexic when? On opposite day?
