Personally, I think it's the kind of love that's easily broken. It doesn't have to be someone who's anorexic. The title.. Skinny Love.. can be interpreted as brittle love or fickle love.
In the song, it was kind of implied that the relationship between those two lovers wasn't based on something strong or meaningful. In my opinion, their relationship was based on need. The need for someone to be there. The need for company.
The need for 'help' as Justin Vernon said.
That kind of love is easily broken since it's only based on the need for someone to be there. That kind of feeling passes pretty quickly and what happens then? What if that 'need' ceases to exist?
That's why it's called skinny love. Because it has no meaning it has no 'weight' (Again, Justin Vernon, sort of said that)
That's what I think was implied in the song. These are my thoughts and I'm perfectly fine if no one agrees with me.

I agree with you completely. This is how I took the song from the beginning, and imagined every time I listened to it.
