losing weight

This has been an issue for a quiet long time....Losing weight its kind of something that we should do, but we enabled to make it done.

Like my friend Rissa, back when we're in highschool she think she needs to stop eating and more waste the food in her stomach with taking some medicine (believe me thats hurt,twisting in the tummy) less water and less food even fruits are better.in consiquince.

Later on i started to follow her ways to diet, i stop eating anything unless my brain started to blackout.. and i vomitted everything i ate .

We (girl with self confidence crisis i must say) are worried about how we looks in the camera and in public, we worried about what the boys will think about our figure.


Whereas the method that they believes are completely way too far from healthy life procedure.

People mostly would do anything to get what they want.

Latter on i learned about eating disorders, because i used to consumed medicine to waste the food that i've ate. Many disease i had back in that time , i was so weak and i must learned about this eating disorders.

Eating disorders are so common in America that 1 or 2 out of every 100 students will struggle with one. Each year, thousands of teens develop eating disorders, or problems with weight, eating, or body image.

Eating disorders are more than just going on a diet to lose weight or trying to exercise every day. They're extremes in eating behavior — the diet that never ends and gradually gets more restrictive, for example. Or the person who can't go out with friends because he or she thinks it's more important to go running to work off a snack eaten earlier.

The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa (usually called simply "anorexia" and "bulimia"). But other food-related disorders, like binge eating, body image disorders, and food phobias, are becoming more and more common.

Anorexia

People with anorexia have a real fear of weight gain and a distorted view of their body size and shape. As a result, they can't maintain a normal body weight. Many teens with anorexia restrict their food intake by dieting, fasting, or excessive exercise. They hardly eat at all — and the small amount of food they do eat becomes an obsession.

Others with anorexia may start binge eating and purging — eating a lot of food and then trying to get rid of the calories by forcing themselves to vomit, using laxatives, or exercising excessively, or some combination of these.

Bulimia

Bulimia is similar to anorexia. With bulimia, someone might binge eat (eat to excess) and then try to compensate in extreme ways, such as forced vomiting or excessive exercise, to prevent weight gain. Over time, these steps can be dangerous — both physically and emotionally. They can also lead to compulsive behaviors (ones that are hard to stop).

To be diagnosed with bulimia, a person must be binging and purging regularly, at least twice a week for a couple of months. Binge eating is different from going to a party and "pigging out" on pizza, then deciding to go to the gym the next day and eat more healthfully.

People with bulimia eat a large amount of food (often junk food) at once, usually in secret. Sometimes they eat food that is not cooked or might be still frozen, or retrieve food from the trash. They typically feel powerless to stop the eating and can only stop once they're too full to eat any more. Most people with bulimia then purge by vomiting, but may also use laxatives or excessive exercise.

Although anorexia and bulimia are very similar, people with anorexia are usually very thin and underweight but those with bulimia may be a normal weight or can be overweight.



My suggestion is "Be proud of what you really are, they who loves you are loving u of what you are, not of what you want to be or used to be "
