Presented by Chioma and Ifeoma EkeomodiAugust 15 2010
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by an irrational dread of becoming fat coupled with a relentless pursuit of thinness People with anorexia go to extremes to reach and maintain a dangerously low body weight But no matter how much weight is lost no matter how emaciated they become itrsquos never enough The more the scale dips the more obsessed they become with food dieting and weight loss
What is Anorexia
It can affect anyone but is mostly seen in teenage girls in some cases as young as 12 mostly between 13-20
This doesnrsquot mean that boys or older adults donrsquot suffer from the effects of anorexia as well
Who does Anorexia affect
Biological (in their genetics) Psychological (theyrsquore perfectionists to the extreme) Family Social Pressure ( following what the media tells
them to look like) Other causes include
body dissatisfaction low self- esteem and or a history of child abuse
The main reason people turn to anorexia is because they feel they are losing control of their life so control the only
thing they feel they canhellipEating
Major causes are
Dieting despite being thin and obsessing over calories etc Pretending to eat lying about eating or strange secretive
eating habits -ex Refusing to eat in public
Dramatic weight loss fixation on body image and denying being too thin
Some signs and symptoms are
Where anorexia hits
Bulimia aka bulimia nervosa is characterized by episodes of binge-eating followed by inappropriate methods of weight control (purging)
Other methods of weight control include vomiting fasting excessive use of laxatives or compulsive exercising
A binge is an episode where an individual loses control and eats a much larger amount of food than most people would in a similar situation-gt this leads to a short-lived calmness-gt followed by self-loathing
The cycle is obsessive and repetitive
What is Bulimia
It is not hunger but rather Depression Stress Low self- esteem Feelings of helplessness Fear of becoming fat
Like anorexia those that suffer from bulimia feel that they have no control so try to control what they eat in an extreme way
Major causes of Bulimia
How Bulimia effects the body
What Started This Strive For
ldquoPerfectionrdquo The Media magazines TV movies the internet-All of these tell us to be what we are not that being skinny will make us happy
This is the reality of it
