Answers: If it is so horrible for your heath why do so many people refuse to eat in order to lose weight?
True sufferers of the disorder are using anorexia as a coping mechanism to deal with their depression or daily struggles. On the outside it's about losing weight, on the inside, it's about destroying yourself or just disappearing. Some people adopt maladaptive coping patterns instead of the "normal" coping patterns through their life and find that anorexia brings them the most relief for their mental pain. It IS horrible for your health, but those who suffer feel they DESERVE the horrid side effects and WANT to destroy themselves.
Those who do it to "fit in" are a completely different story and category from those who have genuine anorexia. Some might seek to "develop" anorexia in a quest to be accepted by our society in it's standards of "what's beautiful."
Sometimes it's the cheapest and easiest way to lose weight
It's sad when people get so skinny and can't see it but honestly I wish I had the discipline without the skewed perception.
I used to do it because I felt like food was the only thing I could control and I also had a very negative self image.
So many people just want to lose weight so they can look as great as the media portrays people.
They dont INTENTIONALLY get anorexic, its just the habit they puti n their bodies to not eat, or eat very little, becomes a concept in their mind that just keeps playing over and over again, which causes them to make not eating a lifestyle.
It is a very bad thing that a lot of young women have gotten into!! It is life threatening!!
Anorexia is a mental disorder which sees food as something bad, and has to be avoided.
Dieting is a rational choice which sees food as something good, but needs to be avoided.
People arent very patient and they want to lose weight as fast as possible. It starts off as eating less and less and results imn eating nothing. most anoroexics are unaware of all the side affects. such as once they start eating its impossible not to put on a ton of weight because starving oneself slows down the metabolism
That is like asking, "Why do so many people smoke?" or use drugs or drink alcohol.
Is there really any way to make a meaningful "general" comment upon why others abuse themselves?
ANOREXIA is a DISEASE...
its considered a psychiatric diagnosis
it is an eating disorder that makes you have low body weight and you have a body image distortion
also an obsessive fear of gaining weight
they do it because its a disease...they cant help it...but doctors can
its a mental desease that more and more girls are getting...so many girls are asking if they are ft on this website and they are reallt skinny...everybody needs to understand HEALTHY eating, not dieting...
Anorexia is not good for your health!! when a person is anerexic they have no energy, they want to faint all the time, there are a lot of health risks and girls even can miss their periods from Anorexia..People turn to anerexia beacuse they think there big but dont see another way to lose weight..plus its fast in losing weight. and now so many people are doing it It seems like its becoming a trend..But smoking is horrible for your health but there are still many people who still smoke..even after watching loved ones die from lung cancer..
some of the answers on here really pised me off cause i used to be really bad with anorexia
it ain't refusing to eat to be honest its like if u eat Ur gonna feel bad after so u tend not to eat so u dont have to feel guilty after
most of the time people that get anorexia think there fat and want to loose weight and go too far with it
with me my case of anoreixa was a diet that went wrong
a diet that nearly killed me
am never going on a diet agen because of the 1 that got out of hand an took me down to 58.8lbs from a healthy 100
Anorexia is a disorder\sickness, most are unable to control it.
cause there dumb!
