Feeling cold all the time

So I don't think this is really gonna be a question but maybe I'll throw one in to make this discussion possible but I've recently started noticing that I'm always really cold. I thought the whole being cold all the time thing was a myth but it's happening to me. It's currently boiling in the UK and I am always ready to be under the cover. Why does that happen?

Your body has diverted your blood to your organs so the blood that was keeping you warm is now helping your organs maintain their function.

Cold is REAL when you're anorexic.
This. Also less fat on your body to keep you warm, lower blood pressure etc.
