You're assuming she realised and acknowledged she had a problem though, which might not have been the case.
And i think its a fair asumption to make reading this paragraph.... Relatives said Miss Reston had resisted admitting she was ill. Geise Strauss, 30, her cousin, said: "When she did eat, she ate very little and she'd go to the bathroom and make herself sick as soon as she left the table. She liked apples and she adored tomatoes but that was about it."

She clearly had people around her ho were aware of it and the tone above suggests to me a simple case of denial. She didnt want to admit it to herself even tho she knew family and friends were right. Like a lot of people with addictions do too. But deep down they all know they have issues.

Tomcat... what you say is spot on by the way.
