It's not that simple really. People with anorexia can become overweight and vice versa. I've had anorexia for 6 years, BMI 14/15, but at a certain point I 'snapped' and gained weight till BMI 18 by binge eating. I've never had the idea that I had control over my eating, not when I was very underweight and certainly not when I was gaining weight. It was pure anxiety.
