When I don’t eat enough, I get low blood sugar and I find it hard to concentrate and function enough to do anything. And that’s just from skipping a meal, let alone if I hadn’t eaten for days or was subsisting for years on a very small amount of calories. When I see anorexic people in movies or books, they seem to have enough energy to exercise compulsively, go to school or work, and other things. Is it that their eating disorder gives them anxiety and that makes them more energetic? Or does your body just get used to not eating and functions fine after a while?

Function and function fine are different. A drug addict can live for a long time doing drugs in. An anorexic person can survive even while they have an illness. But survival isn’t thriving. It’s not loving life, having fulfilling job, relationship, or friendships. It’s an addiction to being thin at all costs. Even death.
