As a former sufferer myself i realize it takes great courage from the woman to do this , but wonder if she is doing this because she feels she must be the poster child for anorexia and if this is just something that is going to further promote her illness and make this her identity. It is almost like it validates her reasons for being ill.

I agree with you, if they took the label off the ad it would give more meaning to their message, at least to me anyway. Do the good deed without expecting the reward which in this is notoriety.
A friend recently sent me a link to yet another type of eating disorder. She feels this one better explains her symptoms over the years. She was always classified as anorexic but it doesn't quite fit. I'll see if I can find the link again...
