Generally it's perfectionistic, neurotic women who feel that they lack control over their lives. The one thing they feel they can have agency over is their food intake, and they become desperate to retain that agency.
They've also very strongly internalized the idea that thinner is better and they pursue it at all costs. Being more skinny means being more loveable, more beautiful, more virtuous—which most people believe to some degree of course—but anorexics are obsessively fixated on calorie restriction over other goals like health. In their minds, eating is failure. Eating is disgusting. Self restraint is a sign of her superiority.
There's probably biological factors as well, like finding eating less pleasurable than most people, so giving up food is relatively easy for them.

Somethings turns off where there is a psychological compulsion to eat despite what your stomach feels. Or the opposite. Think of something you enjoy doing, but swap it with food and remove the hunger mechanism. If you can't understand this analogy you're a hylic so keep yourself safe.
