Bulimia
Bulimia is a disorder defined as repeated attacks of over-eating and extreme control of weight. But the feeling of being over-eaten is relative. (It is a mental health disorder.)
The extreme control of weight also includes intermittent period of starvation, usage of laxatives, diuretics and dehydrating agents, self-induced vomiting, over-exercising. As a result of gauntness the person becomes sensitive to cold, gets easily tired and suffers from weak blood circulation and osteoporosis (rarefaction of bones).
There are many reasons of bulimia, but the most frequent ones are:
• Wont to be slim
• Predispositions to become fat (and want to avoid it)
• Unequal spatial arrangement of body fat
• Inappropriate eating habits
• Family influence (if a member of the family is on a diet, it can negatively influence mainly teen-age people)
• Negative life situation
• Negative self-evaluation
• Family problems
How to get over bulimia? Firstly the person should allow herself/himself to eat normally and regularly, secondly s/he should forget about diets and reduce of weight and finally the person should visit a psychologist or a psychiatrist.
