My sister had an eating disorder, and I understand how it all goes. She has recovered, though. It started when she was in the 7th grade, and she was becoming more developed than everyone else. Her and I, we're non-natives, and one thing I've noticed from my bi-cultural experience is that non-Natives place a very high value on unrealistic female body proportions. Because she weighed more than all her friends, she felt she was fat, and so she wouldn't eat, and this continued on for almost four years.
In my case, I never got an eating disorder, but after I had my child, I felt like i was very fat, and my breasts were saggy, luckily I have gotten my own personal self confidence back, and am able to ignore all these "ideal" looking women. Hope that helps!
