An eating disorder is an illness that adversely affects all facets of each sufferer's life, is caused by a variety of emotional factors and influences. In this article we will focus upon Anorexia and Bulimia. People who are having these eating disorders are characterized as having a low self-esteem and frequently an intense need to gain stringent control over their surroundings and emotions. Anorexia is a unique reaction to a variety of external and internal conflicts, such as tension, anxiety, unhappiness and feeling as if life is out of control. Anorexia is a negative way to handle these emotions. A person having Anorexia may be abnormally sensitive about being fat, or have a strong fear of becoming fat - although not all Anorexics experience this fear. They may be afraid of losing control of the amount of food they eat, accompanied by the craving to maintain stringent control over their emotions and responses to their emotions. This forces them to turn to obsessive dieting and starvation as a way to control not only their weight, but what they feel and how they react. Some also feel that they do not deserve the simple pleasures of life, and will deprive themselves of situations connected to pleasure, including eating. Some of the behavioral signs can be: obsessive physical exercise, calorie and fat gram counting, starvation and restriction of food, self-induced vomiting, the use of weight loss medications, laxatives or diuretics to attempt controlling body weight, and a constant concern over the way they look. Bulimia sufferers seek binge and purge episodes - they cannot stop themselves from eating too much and then vomit to control their body weight - since they feel overwhelmed in dealing with their emotions, or to punish themselves. This can be directly related to how they feel about themselves, or how they feel about a particular event or series of events in their lives. Bulimia sufferers may seek binge and purge episodes to avoid and let out feelings of anger, depression, strain or anxiety. Repeated episodes of binging followed by tremendous guilt and purging (laxatives or self-induced vomiting), a feeling of lacking control over eating behaviors, regularly engaging in stringent diet plans and exercise, the misuse of laxatives or diuretics, and/or weight loss medications and a constant concern about the way they look can all be warnings of Bulimia. The two eating disorders have many similarities, the commonest being the cause. They are complex emotional issues. Though they may seem to be nothing more than a dangerously obsessive weight concern on the surface, for most people having an eating disorder there are deeper emotional conflicts to be handled. |
