Eating Disorders: Facts for Teens -- familydoctor.org People with anorexia are obsessed with being thin. They don't want to eat, and they are afraid of gaining weight. They may constantly worry about how many calories they take in or how much fat is in their food. They may take diet pills, laxatives or water pills to lose weight. They may exercise too much. Anorexics usually think they're fat even though they're very thin. People with anorexia may get so thin that they look like they're sick.
Bulimia is eating a lot of food at once (called bingeing), and then throwing up or using laxatives to remove the food from the body (called purging). After a binge, some bulimics fast (don't eat) or overexercise to keep from gaining weight. People with bulimia may also use water pills, laxatives or diet pills to "control" their weight. People with bulimia often try to hide their bingeing and purging. They may hide food for binges. Bulimics are usually close to normal weight, but their weight may go up and down.

Pre- teen body image issues I believe absolutely that body image issues are a big problem with the pre-teen set, and with everyone else as well. Unfortunately, the magazines, celebrities, and television are mostly screaming "thin! thin! THIN!!" I think the better thing would be to say BE HEALTHY . As for daughters needing thinking they need to be skinny, I only have sons, but, my seven year old thinks his chubby cheeks "make me look fat." This problem is common among boys as well as girls. But I personally am the victim of the "you look fat" problem. My own father ...

Moms Dealing with Eating Disorders Not only can this disorder be very difficult to deal with, it can be and is life threatening. I don't see why anyone would deprive their body of the food and nutrients that they need to survive, just to lose weight. I find exercise to be a much better way to lose weight, and talking with friends (or a therapist) about problems in my life, so I don't have to force myself to hurt myself by not eating properly.
