So many men and women these days have this impossible desire to slim down and be fit. They do not understand that being stick thin does not imply a fit body. An increasing number of teens, especially girls have an inferiority complex. They are unhappy with their chubby bodies and want to get down to size zero to fit into the skinniest jeans. If you have been looking into the mirror every day, setting terrible goals for drastic weight loss, then you might just be showing the earliest symptoms of an eating disorder.
Anyone can fall prey to an eating disorder, not necessarily teenagers. But at times, even seemingly normal persons could have disorders like anorexia. This in particular, is a very common thing these days. Anorexia nervosa leads to a drastic weight loss. People focus on going to any extreme to avoid getting obese. No mater how much weight they lose, they still feel fat. Some others suffer from Bulimia, a condition in which the individual overeats and then tries to get it out of the system either by inducing vomiting or using laxatives. So watch out!
There are many such disorders but the good news is that recovery is perfectly possible with some determination. Expert counseling can remove the fear and help the person overcome the disorder. Of course, instant miracles are not always possible. It is a long road but one must try hard. What would be preferable, a tough but sure recovery or a disorder turned fatal?
