...extremely skinny--not svelte, but unnaturally thin. She starved herself torturously to achieve and maintain her underweight state. She ignored the hunger pangs in her stomach and she denied to her family and friends that she was hungry, because she felt fat and wanted to be thin. When she got horribly skinny people got very worried but she thought she still needed to lose weight, and still she would not--or could not--eat.
