Anorexia and Breasts - By: Mac Grath

Bulimia is not exclusively caused by the changes of puberty, nor is it exclusive to women. Although 90 percent of bulimia cases occur in women, and most of these women begin to eat and vomit in their mid- to late-teens, bulimia nervosa can stem from diverse causes. Some people with bulimia are perfectionists.

How many eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulima are the result of pressures from society to look thin and beautiful. I partly blame the media in how it portrays the lifestyle of the rich and famous of Beverly Hills.

Often, clinical protocol precludes diagnosis of anorexia nervosa and bulimia at the same time, but both have been noted in the same individual at different points in time. Both reflect a profound psychological disturbance. However, eating disorders involves negative feelings about the whole body; whereas body dysmorphic disorder concerns isolated body parts.

Thin is the crave going around, although in the modeling industry thin is starting a rave of its own in the category of anorexia. Women are so thin you can see their bones, and it’s awful. Women are literally binging and then throwing up to remain skinny, bony and thin.

It is important to wear clean clothes and be well groomed, but it is not important to have big breasts, a twenty-five inch waist, full lips, and a perfect nose. God made you the unique and special young girl that you are. Your nose, eyes, lips and chin is your uniqueness that sets you apart from looking like everyone else. Accept what God has given you and be content to be who it is you are.

The number of people receiving plastic surgery has hit an all time high. The Barbie doll is marketed to young girls as the “perfect” woman. These days, if you aren’t a size two, blonde, tan female with large breasts, you are nothing to society. Anorexia and bulimia are everyday words for teens. Everyone’s striving to be what is considered “perfect” in our society. Little girls want to be Nicole or Paris, both of whom have issues with their image.

Anorexia often begins sneaking. You take on a diet, because you want to loose weight, and when you do so, you start having a feeling that you can control your life. You might become addicted to that sense of control, and try to do more things, to keep proving your competence in a various shape of things. Because you succeeded to starve in order to loose weight, you might experience a raise of your self-esteem.

Some people may diet because they think they are supposed to look a certain way. Actors and actresses are thin, and most fashions are shown off by very thin models. But this look is unrealistic for most people — not to mention physically damaging to the models and stars who struggle to maintain it.

Treatment for anorexia is usually focused on increasing caloric intake and changing the body dysmorphic mind. This can take a long time in therapy. Most anorexics that I work with want to get rid of the constant influx of thoughts about gaining weight and food. They are overwhelmed by their hypervigilence about what they eat, yet they do not want to go into a hospital and be force fed or intravenously infused.

Doing some form of activity every day stimulates your metabolism and helps you burn unwanted calories. It also improves recovery time from workouts, as long as it's not overdone. That's because anytime you exercise, your blood circulates through your body, bringing muscle-building nutrients and oxygen to your muscles, and improving your body's ability to eliminate waste products that are generated during weight training.
