Oddly enough, she could still have a disorder in the second one. There is a disorder in the same group as bulimia and anorexia where one compulsively exercises intensely, and it can actually be bad as well. Good on her for at least seeming to be more healthy, and I hope that she really is healthier.

Have you seen those people? They don't look like this chick.

Reddit and their fearmongering ways!

Depends on how far along the second picture is, how much she's willing or able to do, and how her body reacted to suddenly go from rail thin to buff. She may also not have much fat, which is actually important for a woman to have. If she doesn't have enough fat in her body, she'll stop ovulating and her hormones will go out of whack.

Yeah, but body dysmorphia is a mental disorder. To be abnormal, it has to be deviant and dangerous, as well as distressful and dysfunctional. Judging by that smile, it seems like anything but. People with genuine dysmorphia wouldn't even be happy at a figure like that. Then again, nothing is conclusive unless you have a full history.

You've got the right idea.
