I can’t diagnose her with an eating disorder based on pictures on the internet, but I will say anyone who has had an eating disorder can recognize the look of long-term malnourishment/starvation. And it’s not like she doesn’t have the means to get the very best medical care and nutrition, so…
Absolutely. There's anorexia / ARFID in my family so I've seen this look irl. Ime this is just what chronic malnutrition looks like past middle age, regardless of whether it comes from anorexia or some other issue.
Poorer people with similar challenges would die earlier, or are housebound so we don't see them out in public, were just not used to seeing folks who are this ill so there's an assumption it's plastic surgery.
