One of the key symptoms in diagnosing anorexia nervosa is, according to the DSMV, Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height. So the short answer is no, if someone is fat but has a distorted body image, they only have a body-image distortion disorder. It isn't until they gain a hypersensitive fear of eating and gaining weight, leading to drastic and dangerous weight loss, that they become classified as anorexic.

Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes an eating disorder characterized by low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight.
