What is Causing it

Most everyone blames the media for causing eating disorders. But according to Dr. Doug Brunell "The media doesn't cause eating disorders, but the media is a factor". Our culture promotes thinness you don't need to listen to the media to hear this message. That is pretty messed up. If you thought starving yourself wasn't bad enough going bulimic or anorexic can cause further health concerns. When you vomit stomach acid comes up and causes tooth decay. Also a side affect of anorexia is hair loss! Female anorexics can stop menstruating and then later in their life not be able to have children. The worst side affect is death from starvation... So if i haven't convinced you so far that anorexia and bulimia is the wrong thing to do and deadly then go do your own research!

Brittany Snow

Did you guys know that the wonderful actor Brittany Snow had an eating disorder? Well she did Cosmo Girl interviewed her and this is where I got my information. A first Brittany gave the impression of being a dive but as soon as she got talking she showed the personality of a real person. I even got her autograph she is a wonderful person with a dark past. Brittany went to rehab with two girls who later died of anorexia. Even after she went to rehab she still felt imperfect she didn't know what was wrong. When you or a friend has an eating disorder he thing they need most is a friend. Brittany's friend Sophia Bush apparently was the biggest help. Even though her past of anorexia she know wants to have a family a dog and a good career. So this proves that not only people have them but people over come them!!

Why Shoud You Be Jelouse of Models?

People are jealous of all the models that are so pretty and skinny! But six underweight models dies last year because they starved hem selves to fit into their below zero size. Te average American model weighs 98 percent thinner than the average person! So if you think that your fat because you compare yourself to to skinny modes, remember that they are being unhealthy! Also because of these models and other unhealthy girls half of American teenage girls have something called eating disturbance. Here are some numbers... 10 million women and 1 million men suffer from an eating disorder and not including obesity. 1-3 percent of young girls have bulimia nervosa and .3-1 percent have anorexia nervosa. That make anorexia as common as autism!!

Why They Don't Like Their Body

Teenage girls are beginning to be more and more disappointed with there bodies. This is why so many girls have eating disorders. If you know someone with an eating disorder or you have one don't be ashamed but you need to see a doctor immediately. Also know that losing a little weight isn't a bad thing but when it becomes an obsession its time to stop. Models have died from not eating and eventually starving themselves. Anorexia is caused by a self conscious part of you that thinks your fat when your not. A teen study surveyed 548 girls. two thirds of those girls said their needed to loose weight! But only 29% medically needed to loose weight! My personal opinion is that unless you need to medically loose weight don't try to loose weight!

What I Will Be Writing About

Eating disorders are the most common in girls but do happen to boys to. I also forgot to post another type of eating disorder. When someone says eating disorder they generally think of not eating.. but there are people that have the obsession of eating. This usually results in obesity. I just wanted to throw obesity out there even though this blog will focus on anorexia and bulimia. I will spend about two or so days on anorexia and two or so on bulimia. I might focus on obesity one day also. All the other days over the next two weeks will give links to other websites and videos. I may also post a web address to another one of my classmates websites. Please enjoy this blog!

Until Next Time,
