I was anorexic, and I went to my university's gym almost every day. They had a scale, and guess what? I never used it. I only trusted my own scale, weighed at the "correct" times.
Yes, anorexic/bulimic people weigh themselves often, but just not having a scale is going to do nothing to deter or help them. This is a symbolic gesture done to make fatties feel better or whatever. If the administration really wants to do something to help those suffering from body dysmorphia, they should give proper funding to mental health services, and financial aid to those seeking them.
