A Quick Guide to Eating Disorders

Here’s what you need to know about the most common eating disorders:

ANOREXIA NERVOSA

Anorexia nervosa is a potentially deadly eating disorder. The sufferer intentionally starves herself, and is unwilling or unable to keep a healthy weight for her size, height, body type and activity level. She has an intense need for control and is scared of gaining weight even when extremely underweight.

BULIMIA NERVOSA

The bulimic consumes large amounts of food in short periods of time- – sometimes, thousands of calories at one sitting – and then forces herself to purge by throwing up, exercising or using laxatives. After bingeing and purging, a bulimic feels depressed or guilty. Like the anorexic, she is intensely fearful of being fat. Binge-and-purge cycles damage the digestive system and affect major internal organs, like the heart, which can cause death.

COMPULSIVE OVEREATING

The compulsive overeater, usually overweight, eats to excess even when not hungry, but doesn't purge food. The overeater eats throughout the day, not just during binges. Health concerns, similar to people with clinical obesity, include diabetes.

i think i am developing an eating disorder. some
days i eat A LOT and feel guilty. Then, on other days, i don't eat hardly anything and excersize.
eating a lot happens when my parents aren't home, and when i don't eat, its random. is there something wrong with me?




Hey babe...it sounds like you're restricting at times and then bingeing at others because your body needs the food.  It is a bit of eating disorder behavior, but the fact that you realize what is happening is amazing.  You can stop these behaviors with effort before an eating disorder does develop.  If you stick to three balanced meals, 2 snacks, and 1 dessert you will feel full of energy and will not end up restricting and bingeing.  However, if you feel you are over exercising to compensate for eating alot, that is definitely eating disorder thinking and you should try talking to a trusted adult about it.  The key is balance, but it's hard to get ourselves to commit to balance without support from the ones around us.

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Heyy. How are you? Good? I hope so. Well, anyways, I really need your help. I know I'm not fat but...I think I am. My doctor says I'm at a very good weight but I have a stomach and thighs. I'vee thought about puking multiple times and almost did it. I'm fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what should I do? It's not like I could tell my mom. Besides, if I did, I don't want them to have to spend money on a therapist. HELLO, it's call a recession


 

Hi darlin, everyone has a tummy and thighs, like 1 % of the world is stick skinny. if your doctor isnt concerned then you have no reason to worry, they would tell you if you were fat. If you are having a body image issue, why not talk to your mom...she is a woman that probably went through the same thing as some point. If you dont want to talk to her, talk to your guidance counselor. That is what they are there for, plus its free. xoJANA

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!! Ok, so I am 5"3 and am 136 pounds. I have a tiny waist but hips, boobs and thighs. A lot of time I feel gross about myself. A couple of times I made myself throw up!! Sometimes I skip lunch and eat a small breakfast, but then rumors around school start about me being anorexic!! I really wanna loose weight but I cant work out at the gym until I am 15. What are some healthy food I can eat to maintain a healthy weight?

 

Hey girl,

 

Losing weight will not happen by not eating!  Instead, make sure you eat a balanced amount of veggies, fruits, protein (meat, fish, eggs, etc.), and grains.  You don't need a gym to get physical activity either.  Walk/run around your school's track or even just around the block.  Rent tapes from the library that walk you through a yoga routine or Tae Bo - anything to get your heart pumping.  Just remember that you are absolutely beautiful and your goal should be to get HEALTHY, not just lose weight.
