Eating disorders

If you think you are fat:

This can be a real problem when you start thinking that you are fat. If you start obsessing about your weight and start starving yourself or puking up your food after you eat then you must tell someone. Someone that you trust.



DON'T STARVE YOURSELF! If you starve yourself you will mess up and slow down your metabolism and you will never be able to enjoy food or eat properly.

DON'T OBSESS!! If you keep obsessing about your weight you will end up with an eating disorder and when you get an eating disorder it will effect your life, future and it is very hard to get out of the mindset of thinking you are fat.

DON'T DIET!!! Diets are not good for you and they don’t work, I should know I tried one once it’s horrible and also messes up your metabolism + slows your metabolism down.

DON'T LOOK UP THINGS ON YOUTUBE! Anything and everything on YouTube without scientific proof is fake not true and must not be used.

The best thing to do is to exercise and eat healthy and balanced so for example, always have protein, veg or fruit, water, carbs (not refined carbs) in each meal.

Drink lots of water because it is good for you!
Here are some of the effects that n eating disorder can cause

Bulimia:
Purposely making yourself vomit constantly can cause a variety of symptoms in the digestive area, beginning at the mouth. Sore throat, stomach pain are probably the first symptoms. The high acid content of vomit can damage teeth, causing enamel erosion, tooth sensitivity, and gum disease.

Bulimia is a mental health disorder. People with bulimia tend to show signs of depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorders. They’re also at risk for substance abuse problems and suicidal behavior.

Bulimia may cause moodiness and irritability. obsessive exercising or obsession of appearance are common symptoms. It’s not unusual for someone with bulimia to spend a lot of time thinking about food and how to control it. This may be accompanied by feelings of embarrassment and shame.

Excessive vomiting may cause a sore or swollen throat. Frequent purging can cause dehydration, leading to dry skin, weak muscles, and extreme fatigue. This is hard on the heart and can cause irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), weakened heart muscle, and heart failure.
Bulimia can cause low blood pressure, weak pulse, and anemia. Throwing up can be a violent event. The sheer force of it can even cause blood vessels in the eyes to rupture.
Bulimia can interfere with your menstrual cycle or stop it altogether. A hormonal imbalance and fatigue can kill your sex drive. If the ovaries no longer release eggs, conceiving a child becomes impossible. 

Pregnant women who continue to engage in bingeing and purging behaviors face additional complications for themselves and their babies.

These include:
maternal high blood pressure
gestational diabetes
miscarriage
premature birth
breech birth
higher risk of C-section
low birth weight babies
birth defects
stillbirth
breastfeeding difficulties
