It may be hard for most of us to understand, but the fact is that anorexics ignore what their bodies are telling them, simply disregarding the anguish of long-term hunger, until they virtually lose all sense of reality about their bodies. Even if the doctor places an object on their body, they feel nothing.
一般人可能沒辦法想像，為了刻意忽略身體的感覺以避免長期飢餓的痛苦，厭食患者的身體感覺已幾近失靈，即使醫師把物品放置在她們身上，她們也渾然不覺。
