Reading Response
Before reading this article, I knew that many girls around the ages of 13-18 maybe younger or maybe even older. Have an eating disorder. Trying to fit in and having friends, but because of their weigh/size they dont have it all. So they make them self's lose weight. By becoming bulimic, through up, starving themselfs. Or having any other eating disorder. When you think your not skinny enough like other girls, pretty enough like other girls, dont get guys like other girls you take/ make decisions that maybe not be the best, but you think they are. You change everything about you because you think you are the best like everyone else, either you or people make you feel that way.
While reading this article i found out that "Essential fatty acid status is altered in eating disorders that result in weight loss". Does this mean that its the same? Or is it just another eating disorder. When you gain weight it because your body is not getting rid of all the junk food, all the bad stuff that your body hasn't disgusted. Even if you look skinny in the outside, it doesn't mean that you are skinny in the inside too. While reading this article, I found out that when girls first start their eating disorder they have a mass of 15k in their body, after they have started with their eating disorder they have a mass of 19k. Yes they look skinny, but their health isnt as near as that. They are in risk of every sickness on the charts.A normal girl has to have 3 different kinds of fatty levels, fat levels are needed in the body, they arent as bad as everyone think. We need them to be healthy, even if we dont want them, even the healthiest people have them. Cause our body needs to sweat it needs to get rid of them.
It takes time for girls with eating disorders, to get their health, their eating ways, their eating system back to normal. They wont be able to go back to normal in days, or hours, after there body has been use to being bulimic for months, years. Its going to be hard coming out anf telling someone you have an eating disorder, but you need to come out, so that they can help you. That they can be with you every step of the way on getting better. You wont be able to do it all alone. You`ll need everyones help. Your doctors, that will be putting you back in a health diet. Your family, that will support you emotionally. The doctors will need to tell you what kind of eating disorder you have. Cause their are more than one eating disorder in the world. Eating disorders are now more commonly. Their are anorexia nervos, bulimic nervos and simply bulimic, you need to treat each different one carefully, cause their not all the same.
Many girls do it every day, why? Cause they want to be perfect. But no one in the world is perfect, we can try. Choices are always the hardest. You do it for a wrong reason, your harming your self. Is your health really not important to you that, you dont care about it. Many girls risk their life just to try to fit in.
