Bulimia


Bulimia is an eating disorder that is more common in women on their 20's. People with bulimia binges eat at least two times at a week for at least 3 months. They use a lot of things to help them be thin and prevent to gain weight like laxatives, a lot of dieting, excessive amount of exercise, diuretics, and obviously vomiting. These people are never happy with their bodies; they always want to be thinner. Bulimics usually maintain a healthy weight while anorexia is often a severe loss of weight. People with bulimia usually have a puffy face; they also have swollen fingers and discolored teeth. They go to the bathroom a lot after eating to purge. Bulimia damages the digestive system and affects electrolyte balances which damages organs. The excess of purging possibly could rapture the esophagus. Bulimia causes fatigue, so then they start to eat in excess and then they purge. Bulimia also causes depression, and usually people with bulimia uses drugs. Also they have stomach pains and irregular heart rate. When you purge the stomach acids ruin your teeth, so the teeth decay. To eliminating bulimia they main thing that doctors try to do is to eliminating binging and purging. They also force the person to eat three meals a day and exercise but not excessively and treat psychological issues such as mood or anxiety disorders.

I think that bulimia is the most damaging eating disorder the same as anorexia. I think that bulimia requires a lot of help and a long treatment to help the person gain their normal weight again and healthier, but I think that the most important think to recover of bulimia is that the person wants to recover, because then they will never recover because they would not follow the things that doctors or the person that helps them said them to do. I think that if the person don’t do what they have to do to recover they would never recover so they would have serious problems like death, and I think is not fair that people dies only because they don’t like their bodies and they want to be thin. But almost all of the time people with bulimia recover faster than the people with anorexia. And anorexia is worse than bulimia because they think that they are really fat and want to be thinner each time and they are really disappearing.


How you know, bulimia is a very bad eating disorder that can have severe problems. If you don’t have a good treatment if you get on bulimia, how I said you need to have doctors, nutritionists, or any person that helps you to have a very good treatment on you. Bulimia is an eating disorder very harmful and not everyone has the opportunity to out of it, so you might not get on bulimia and start getting worried about other things like school, your health, and many other important things and not about your body shape and trying to be thin because it will harm you a lot. Well, how you know, I will be writing more about eating disorder and specially bulimia. I hope you had learned and be concerned of the consequences of bulimia. Talk you later! Bye.

Binge Eaters and Eating Disorders

Bnge eating is surpassing anorexia and bulimia. Today binge eating is affecting more people than anorexia and bulimia, 3.5 percent of women and 2 percent of men are affected by binge eating. Binge eaters are the ones that eat large amounts of food and do not purge. Anorexia affects 0.9 percent of women and 0.3 percent of men while bulimia affects 1.5 percent of women and 0.5 percent of men. Signs when a person is having a problem with eating disorders are when that person stops eating during a time and then they start eating large amounts of food excesses and they think that no one is seeing them. Binge eating has many risks like all of the eating disorders. Binge eaters have the risk to high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart diseases. In the USA government is working very hard to find new treatments for eating disorders and they are trying to stop eating disorders trying to do many things and trying to give the best help to people with these problems.

I am really very impressed. I did never think that binge eaters will be more common than people with bulimia or anorexia. But I still think that anorexia and bulimia is worst than binge eaters because specially those teenagers and adolescents are always being worried because of their bodies because they are never comfort with their bodies. One problem is that teenagers always see those famous people like actors, models, etc. they always want to be like them, so they always try to be thinner like those people. one example is Lindsay Lohan, she is an actress that suffer with bulimia and her fans wanted to be like her. I had never seen a famous person with binge eating problems, but I had see tons of people is the United States which each time is fatter and fatter. That is why I think that binge eating is surpassing anorexia and bulimia. I think that fast food restaurants has something to be with binge eating problems. Each time in the united states I see more fat food restaurants and some people get obsessed with them, for example Mc Donald’s. There are some documentaries that talks about this problems with fat people in the united states and specially with Mc Donald’s. I really think that is the time for people to start disappearing some of the Mc Donald’s restaurants because they are in all the united states and they are affecting to many people and I think that this should stop as fast as they can stop it.

Well, as you know all the weeks I will be telling you more information about eating disorders, each time I get more interested in this because each time I found more information and learn about eating disorders and things that I really get impressed like the one that I talked about that binge eaters are getting more common than anorexia and bulimia. But I think all those eating disorders should stop because they affect people and also kills people and I think is not a good think that we loose people only because they one to be to thin or they get obsessed with food and cant stop eating. I expect to learn more about eating disorders by the people who is also interested like me. Talk you later, Bye!

Bulimia and Eating Desorders

Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder made by binge-eating and the need to be thin. Even people with bulimia who it’s an apple or a salad is considered binge-eating and you have to purge. Non-purging behaviors include fasting or exercise. People with bulimia the food is often been eat secretly and little chewing. People with bulimia often use drugs. People with bulimia also exercise a lot, and dieting. Purging is not necessary to lose weight. Bulimia had affected males but bulimia often affects young women and adolescent girls. Bulimia can affect people of any age. Bulimics may hide food. People with bulimia are always extremely concerned with their body weight and shape. When you purge you loose the minerals that your body needs to work properly. Purging causes swollen glands, inflammation, and the acids destroy the protective layer of the teeth. This problem affects mostly teen girls at the age of 12, 13, 14, all the way through an uncertain age because they start getting worried about being thin and obsessed to much with it each time more.

I think that bulimia is keeling lots and lots of people and with the only reason to be thin. I think that people should do a very big effort and try to find other ways to be thin and do not get too obsessed with the need to be thin, because being thin is not your life. This people are risking their life’s only to be thin, there are more important things in life to be worried about. this is affecting to many people and it worries me a lot. There are other eating disorders hat are killing a lot of people like anorexia and binge eating. And eating disorders are not only being thin, binge eating Is the people who eat too much and it is affecting also many people. I really think that people should stop. But i had learned that is very easy for me to say that people should stop, because I think that when people get in this they can hardly stop it. Anorexia is also an eating disorder and anorexia includes that the people sees on the mirror very fat and they are in a point like disappearing and they don’t have any idea. Each day I heard more and more people that has bulimia or other problems of eating disorders like anorexia, mostly famous people. For example Victoria Beckam, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, Mary Kate Olsen and many other people has bulimia or anorexia or sometime had it. I am really worried about these problems.

I know that this information is not that much for people to realize that anorexia and bulimia and these eating disorders are killing to many people only for he need to be thing. And I really want that sometime people realize and stop doing it but how I told you this is to difficult for the people who gets into it. But I think this should change very fast, and I am only one person so I cannot change this alone but what I do want to make is the people to realize what is really happening. Later I would write more information about this, how you had enjoy it and that has been useful in someway.
