Why are people more accepting of obesity than anorexia?

Both are going to kill you, involve very unhealthy eating habits, and as someone who has been obese and later dealt with anorexia, suck.

But if all bodies are good bodies, then why are anorexics forced into rehabs but the obese aren’t forced into a fat camp?

I understand anorexia is a mental illness but watch 600 pound life or any regular obese person (there is also BED, which doesn’t even get taken that seriously tbh) and tell me that there isn’t some mental disturbance. I know when I was my fattest, I was the most depressed and going through a lot of abuse. Food was my coping mechanism for my pain, and I guess some kind of switched turned in my head and I turned to restriction to cope.

But I’m sure if we added this picture to the post, there would be an “issue”.
