Have you ever stunted your metabolism?

We know that when we take in too few calories, we enter "starvation mode" and our metabolism slows down. However, it's possible to raise our metabolism back up.

What I'm asking is something different. Have you ever really damaged your metabolism due to previous anorexia or starvation for long periods of time? Are you unable to bring your metabolism back to the state it was? I know someone who says that, because she used to be anorexic, she now has to consume 1000 less calories a day than someone her sex, age and size has to just to maintain her current weight.

Has something like this happened to anyone? Would you please share your story? Again, I'm not asking for temporary metabolic slow-downs, but really damaging metabolism on a long term basis.
