Bulimia Side Effects – the Sad Secret

No one can drive down the road these days and not see an over abundance of restaurants.  Not only has that but looked at the different kinds.  Mostly they are fast food which we all know is not the healthiest for us.

With food being so readily available it does not take a genius to figure out why Americans are so over-weight.  Not only that but the level of obese teenagers and younger is disheartening.  But trying to get the word out to many families and people at large it is quick to be labeled a heretic or lunatic.

But when most people see high school girls trying to achieve the looks that they see on TV, Movies or even the magazine covers they pretty much write it off as a passing thing.  But in reality, girls much younger than high school are learning about bingeing and purging (aka Bulimia) to help in shedding the pounds away.

The overwhelming thing about this eating disorder is that it is full of lies.  "Eat all you want!  Everything you love.  Fill up.  All you have to do is purge it before your body's digestive system starts to break it down and you get all of the perks without the calories.  Safe?  Yes it is safe.  We all do it and we can quit anytime!"

Wow!  If you believe that stuff then you are seriously in trouble.

It becomes an addiction.  A vicious cycle that appears to have no end.  This is because depression will set in and after a while you start throwing something else at it; Food.  In fact, it becomes comfort food.  And then you feel that urge.  It burns inside of you.  Then the voice chimes in telling you that Fat is building up and then you do it.  Purge.  The cycle starts all over again.

The problem with this addiction or eating disorder is that food is the tool.  That in of itself will be the downfall of the person.  UNLESS the person seeks professional counseling it is almost impossible to beat it by yourself.

You see we as humans need food for sustenance.  Our very survival depends on getting food so our bodies can continue.  It is our fuel for life.  So if a person does cannot get out of this terrible cycle the after a while the body will disregard what the mind is telling it.

In other words, the body will start to get nutrition where it can.  From the existing muscles, tissues, and possible organs in the body.  How satisfying will that be?  Does it make sense now?

Look at some of those actresses on TV that appear to be too skinny.  No muscle mass in the arms and the legs look bone skinny.  In some cases, you can actually see ribs.  That is not healthy and in no way is it sexy.

If you are with someone that thinks this skinny is sexy then they have serious mental issues.  You should remove them from your life.  Because if their fantasies are driving you to an eating disorder then they are not worth being a friend.

Get your health back.  Get help.  Life is truly worth living.
