Fear of LOSING weight?!


Question: Fear of LOSING weight.?
I know there is anorexia and bulemia that causes fear of gaining weight. . but is there any name for when someone is afraid to lose weight.? Because my close friend use to be very small {5 '5 weighing 90 pounds and she ate like a horse & never gained a pound} now she is 115 and she looks healthy now but she has to constantly eat because shes afraid of losing weight & looking sickly & she says all she sees in the mirror is skin & bones which isnt true to other ppl! She sees herself far different then everyone else does. Is this a type of disorder.?Health Question & Answer
