MY OPINION ON EATING DISORDERS.

Eating disorders are conditions defined by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake to the detriment of an individual's physical and mental health. Bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are the most common specific forms.
Bulimia nervosa is a disorder characterized by binge eating and purging. Purging can include self-induce vomiting, over-exercising, and the usage of diuretics, enemas, and laxatives. Anorexia nervosa is characterized by extreme food restriction to the point of self-starvation and excessive weight loss.
There are many causes of eating disorders, including biological and psychological. Many people with eating disorders suffer also from body dysmorphic disorder, altering the way a person sees himself or herself.  Also, the media are oftentimes blamed for the rise in the incidence of eating disorders due to the fact that media images of idealized slim physical shape of people such as models and celebrities motivate or even force people to attempt to achieve slimness themselves. The media are accused of distorting reality, in the sense that people portrayed in the media are either naturally thin and thus unrepresentative of normality or unnaturally thin by forcing their bodies to look like the ideal image by putting excessive pressure on themselves to look a certain way.
Finally, in my opinion, I believe the people need love and help when pass these hard moments. And with the necessary time and with patience can accept your body and feel happy. Nobody is perfect, this is the reality, and all people need know this truth.
