'Anorexia' is a puzzling complex of behaviors that everyonefindsdifficult to make sense of. The person manifesting thesebehaviorsmay be as puzzled as anyone else, and at a loss toexplain why theyhave this distorted relationship with food andeating. And beingpressured to come up with an explanation may makethings worse, asraised stress levels tend to aggravate compulsivebehaviorpatterns.

While the anorexia sufferer strives through their strangeeating(or rather, not eating) pattern to satisfy their need to haveasense of control over their lives, the people who care for themcanfind themselves floundering.
