So, what's going on here?
Has this woman has bought in to 'body positivity' so hard that she has to tell herself that her finally realising 'holy shit I'm too fucking fat' is 'anorexia'?
Or is the 'anorexia' claim just her way of dressing up her reality check to her equally obese followers, so that she can lose weight like a sane person, continue to claim some kind of victimhood, and, most importantly, not make her fellow hamgalaxies think that she's "betraying" them because her weight loss is driven by 'mental illness' rather than accurately assessing her situation and long term health.
It's the latter.
Took me a while to figure it out, but this is absolutely what happened. Her doctor told her she's going to die soon if she doesn't lose weight, but her fan base is pathologically hostile towards any suggestion that weight control is positive or healthy. How does she get off the gravy train without getting off the gravy train?
Solution: an eating disorder!
Largely self-diagnosed, so no one can deny you have it.
Generates complete sympathy among progressives, no questions asked - so your fans can't turn on you without becoming assholes under their own rubric.
Gives you the results you need as a plausibly definable "side effect".
So one of the most visible figures (heh) in the body positivity/ fat acceptance movement has had to fake a mental illness in order to escape the movement's doctrines so that she can save her own life. This is easily the best evidence so far that the body positivity/fat acceptance ideology has morphed into a death cult.
