How do anorexics find the energy?

Question

I'm not anorexic, but I am on a 'crash diet' to lose weight by the new year. Today I had an apple, some lemon and honey in water and 2 cups of black coffee.

Even with the coffee, I tried to go for a run before and I just couldn't because of the lack of energy.

How on earth do anorexics exercise for hours on so little food? 
I know it is a mental thing, but still.

Usually because when you don't eat for a long time you get used to it, so the little amount of energy you have your used to it, you know your limits and what not.

When you've eaten normal and all of sudden stop eating it feels like hell and you can tell the difference.

So in otherwords they're used to it and know how to use their little energy.
