Eating Disorders, Things to Look For

TODAY Health- Beyond Anorexia, bulimia: Lesser known eating disorders

   
      Okay, so this article was interesting and has always been something that I have had pretty strong feelings about.  I have seen a couple friends suffer through eating disorders, and it has been something that has been pretty difficult for me to watch.  First, I want to say that if you know anyone going through this, PLEASE please please get them to a counselor or find a way to help them.  As someone with experience in this department, it is a very touchy subject and you have to go about it the right way.  The people going through these things are obviously psychologically unstable- as eating disorders are symptoms of psychological issues.  They may take offense to things you are "accusing" them of.  They are your friend, and you care enough about them to try to save their life- so let them know this FIRST.  Read over this article, it's about other types of eating disorders, things we haven't all heard of.  The article includes things to look for, and to think about for yourself- as you could possibly be subject to one, too.
Remember, this isn't something that only females are subject to... obviously...

     I know it's tempting to skip meals, and sometimes it's inevitable.. so I understand.  I know we don't all have the best eating habits, but when it gets out of control, is when we begin to have problems.  
     Look out for your friends and loved ones because these disorders can be very life threatening and you wouldn't want to lose them.. so do everything you can to keep them.


Sorry for the serious blog.. I promise my next one will be more uplifting!! 


Keep saving, this time of year is crazy busy with things you will want to be doing, but spend wisely!!


Peace and good health,
