How does using laxatives as a diet product work for people with eating disorders? -

How do these people end up losing weight by using laxatives? I don't mean to be gross, but isn't the poo just food that has already been digested? Therefore, the fat and calories are already absorbed into the body? I don't understand why people would want to do this to themselves. I could not imagine having bowel cramps all day and needing to stay near a toilet at all times, just for the sake of losing a few pounds, when it probably does not work anyway.
