Eating Disorders  Approximately one million Canadians have an eating disorder. Societal pressures poor body image, and unrealistic expectations can be among the contributors. Eating disorders are a universal problem. What are eating disorders? Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses. They involve a pattern of unhealthy eating or dieting behaviour that can cause health problems and/or emotional and social distress. Here are the most common ones: Anorexia Nervosa Characterized b.y behaviours that interfere with maintaining an adequate weight driven b.y distress over body size or shape. Typically, a person is less than "85%" of their expected weight. Bulimia Nervosa Characterized b.y periods of food restriction followed b.y out of control binge eating with recurrent compensating behaviours t.o “purge” the body of food, either through vomiting/laxatives or excessive exercise/dieting. Binge Eating Disorder Characterized b.y recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food then experiencing shame, distress or guilt afterwards. What causes eating disorders? They can affect anyone regardless of gender, age, racial and ethnic identity, sexual orientation or socio-economic background. Eating disorders are influenced b.y biological, psychological and social factors. It is a combination of genetic vulnerability, personality, mental state and environmental factors (such as pressure t.o be thin, trauma, etc.) that can lead t.o an eating disorder. Eating disorders are more common in women but also occur in men. How devastating are eating disorders? Many are never diagnosed and many people never seek treatment. Eating disorders have the highest overall mortality of any mental illness. What to watch for: .Increasingly restrictive eating patterns (i.e. new diets, avoiding food based on colour/texture, cutting out progressively more food groups) .Eating more than normal in frequency and quantity .Eating alone or in secret .Disappearing t.o the bathroom after meal .Intense exercise routines .Loss of interest in life, hobbies, friends, etc. .Abnormal weight gain or loss .Frequent stomach aches, fatigue, dizzy spells or dry mouth/bad breath What can you do? It can be difficult and stressful t.o talk t.o someone you care about who has an eating disorder. You may not want t.o believe what is happening. However, the sooner you start the conversation, the sooner h.elp can be obtained and the better the outcome. Information source: St. John Ambulance |

My daughter was in grade school when her struggles with anorexia began. She was put on a waiting list to get into an adolescent eating disorder program. Fortunately, things started to turn around before she was hospitalized. However, even today as an adult, she struggles with body-image issues. Awareness and communication are keys to helping someone dealing with an eating disorder.

I have a second cousin who suffered from bulimia 40 years ago. He was able to recover enough, but the stresses that caused it changed him. I have heard that sometimes anorexia is about being in control, that the person feels helpless about so many things that they cannot control that they focus on the only thing that they think they can control - how much they eat. That idea has maybe been debunked since I heard it. I am so glad that your daughter was able to find a resolution and continue to fight for her health.

It's certainly a mental illness that is difficult to manage and cure, as is any mental affliction. Karen Carpenter, from The Carpenters, is one person who comes to mind and suffered from the burden of anorexia. I hope your daughter handles her challenge. It sounds like she has. 👍😊 ❗ ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Thank You for posting this information and speaking about your own experience with your daughter going through it. One of my best friends in college had issues with this caused by what we now know as bullying and body shamming and though she was not what I would have called overweight it got to her and she stopped eating or would eat and then later go throw up. None of us knew till months down the road that she was doing this and then at the time, did not really know much if anything about it as a disorder. It was not till later on when she was looking too thin and pale that someone stepped in and got her help. Knowing now what I do about it, I would have tried to do more back then but I never really heard of it other then what happened to Karen Carpenter so I applaud you for bringing this information to the forefront for others to read about. Some may just glance at this and dismiss your blog today and others may stop and read it and think to themselves, I may know someone ... Stay warm, stay strong, stay safe! Hugs from Michigan
