A car not being treated to regular engine check up, tuning and car wash may be well compared to a person who’s body is suffering from eating disorders. And if you are one of the millions of people who experience the same eating-disorder-scourge, I now tell you to get up and move. Sometimes, people who look at themselves in the mirror see a single image in two different sides – how they look and how they want to look like. Its nice to know that amidst having a busy life, one puts in best efforts to look and feel good, because such goal helps boost one’s ego and self-esteem. But remember, too much of anything is bad. You don’t have to suffer eating disorders and lock yourself up in the cage of thought that being THIN is the key to a happy and successful life.

Eating disorders appears to be the cause of death of millions of people. People who are affected with eating disorders often lose track of coping with it and become a prisoner of self distrust. Doctors and health experts may come up with different ways to treat eating disorders, but only YOU can beat it. In struggling with eating disorders, one must have a mind set philosophy of “I can, if I will!”. After a long process of treatment to help them regain everything they’ve lost, victims of eating disorders will realize that it will all be worth the wait.

Sufferers of eating disorders does not only deal with mainly food and health issues. Eating disorders may actually be born out of peer pressure, emotional problems, social anxiety and stress. Often, they experience the ‘low downs’ of life all at the same time, causing them to punish themselves and use their bodies as a set point for their plan while they think of eating disorder as the easiest resort that they can come up with. Their minds are enveloped with the idea that being thin is their entry permit to the society they want to fit in. I remember watching “When friendship kills”, an old film tackling the story of two volleyball varsity players who came best friends because they experience and suffer with the same eating disorder. Both tried to get thinner each day as they vie for the team captain title. The ending of the story? One of the girls died, while the other was strong enough to cope up with it.

Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and compulsive eating are the common eating disorders people experience and associate with certain drugs in attempt to lose weight. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by strict dieting and starving, refusal to eat, constant heavy exercise and weight watching. Binge eating disorder is a bit similar to bulimia nervosa such that the sufferer of this eating disorder consumes large amount of food at a certain period until he’s unable to zip his flies, but doesn’t induce to forced vomiting. Compulsive overeating is an eating disorder that is characterized by irrepressible intake of food and continued weight gain. It usually starts in the early stages of childhood where one begins to develop his or her own eating habits.

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder often referred to as the binge and purge routine, where victims induced vomiting after taking huge amount of food. Sufferers of this eating disorder usually associate this with diuretics, diet pills, laxatives and ipecac syrup (a syrup taken to induce vomiting in cases of accidental poisoning).

The people in the environment of a victim suffering from eating disorders like his family and close friends play a role in helping him along the treatment process. People with eating disorders need constant care, love and attention that will give them the kind of acceptance they need not look for else where. The family members should be the first harbinger of positive waves towards the sufferer of eating disorders. These people needs people who will love them for who they are, regardless of their appearance, weight and shape. They need unvarying appreciation for every littlest thing they do.

True beauty comes from within. What we see on t.v commercials and magazines are just ideal body images our minds create. In life, we have to take care of and settle with what God has given us – something that is not perfect, but REAL.
