It's an interesting polemic.
Speaking from personal experience I was borderline anorexic for a while when I was a teenager (ran about 10 km a day, ate just about enough to lie around on the couch comfortably, was regularly woken up at 05:00 purely by hunger pangs but still refused to eat), and I have never felt shittier than when I was thin. OK, so you feel preternaturally alert and (for the first few days at least) you think with exceptional clarity, but in the long run you have no energy to do anything, you're permanently depressed and you fall asleep in the middle of things all the time. As a lifestyle, it's pretty bollocks.

Polemic
From the Middle Teutonic "pol" (theatre, public performance) + "elmich" (pertaining to the town square lavatories).

I have Apathetic Anorexia:
I'll look in a mirror, think "I'm fat" and then not bother with the starving myself part. Works surprisingly well.

My bulimia works in much the same way.
I gorge myself till I'm bloated then don't have the energy to get up, go to the loo & stick my fingers down my throat.
I call it "Binge-no-purge"

I'd high-five you,
if only our bloated arms could lift our sausage-fingered hands off the keyboard.
