Primarily two types of eating disorders are commonly known, anorexia and bulimia! Today individuals suffer from compulsive overeating, emotional eating, night time eating, compulsive exercise, binge eating, food addiction, orthorexia nervosa, diabetic bulimic, exercise bulimic, selective eating disorder and the list goes on. Too many variables exist with eating disorders to say one specific event caused it. Eating disorders can occur from low self-esteem, from an individual wanting to fit in a group or team, stress, trauma, having a strong desire to stand out or from wanting to be perfect. Often individuals suffering from eating disorders have a desire to control people, places and things and when they can't the eating disorder goes out of control. As with any addiction when it starts the illusion is the person is in control somewhere down the line the line is crossed and that same person has no control.
Individuals who watch television can attest that for example,if he or she watched for two hours he or she would be exposed to commercial after commercial advertising a new diet, exercise equipment, weight loss foods, weight loss supplements the constant information telling him or her they must change. It makes sense that eating disorders are so prevalent. Does he or she watching and listening to all this realize how bad physically and physiologically for the body to go up and down with weight and large amounts of sugar then to restrict sugar. The human body is strong but how strong? Over time damage occurs as a direct result of highs and lows.
If he or she has accepted themselves as they are and modified the lifestyle to live a balanced healthy life the stress done to the body would be relieved. Behaviors are learned and can be unlearned over time inpatient treatment for eating disorders is beneficial to building a new foundation for long-term success. Learning how to live life free from eating disorders is possible, feel free to contact me directly.
