Getting Treatment for an Eating Disorder. Eating disorders in an athlete are serious and can become life-threatening if left untreated. Bulimia is a serious health concern that often requires professional help to overcome.
Identifying the type of eating disorder is.Psychological and behavioral warning signs that have been identified in athletes with bulimia include: Binge eating (eating that feels out-of-control and is rapid and excessive) Evidence of binge eating (disappearance of large amounts of food in short period of time, empty food Eating in secret.Finding the Best Anorexia, Bulimia and Eating Disorder Treatment for Athletes Influencing Factors. The high incidence of eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, among athletes is not Incidence of Eating Disorders in Athletes. Given these risk factors, eating disorders are much more common.
Among athletes in general, bulimia is the most common eating disorder. Of course, it depends on the sport. Gymnasts, jockeys, runners, rowers, dancers and others who can perform at their best at a low weight are more likely to develop anorexia nervosa, in which.Treatment of disordered eating and eating disorders in athletes Once a diagnosis of disordered eating or an eating disorder has been made, a knowledgeable and experienced multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals should care for the athlete, with a goal of personalised patient-centered care (figure 1).A unique aspect of treating athletes with eating disorders is the inclusion of a strength and conditioning coach on the treatment team.
Many athletes may push themselves far beyond optimal training in time, intensity and frequency. In doing so the athlete may lose touch with both physical and emotional cues and experience injuries and emotional.Why Athletes Need Specialized Eating Disorder Treatment. While speaking at the Eating Disorders in Sport 2018 Conference hosted by The Victory Program at McCallum Place, Patrick Devenny spoke of the pressure to perform and the toll it takes on athletes.A former NCAA Division I football player, Devenny felt overwhelmed as he prepared for being evaluated by NFL scouts on Pro Day.
Eating Disorders & Athletes Athletics are a great way to build self-esteem, promote physical conditioning, and demonstrate the value of teamwork, but not all athletic stressors are positive. The pressure to win and an emphasis on body weight and shape can create a toxic combination.Athletes at highest risk.
Athletes at increased risk for eating disorders are also at greater risk for low energy availability. Energy availability is defined as the amount of dietary energy intake minus exercise-induced energy expenditure normalized to the fat-free mass.5 Therefore, athletes at greater risk for low energy availability are those who restrict dietary energy intake, who exercise.Psychotropic medications have been shown to be helpful in the treatment of bulimia nervosa and prevention of relapse in anorexia nervosa in adults. 54 – 56 These medications are also used for many adolescent patients and may be prescribed by the pediatrician or the psychiatrist, depending on the delegation of roles within the team.
The eating disorders anorexia and bulimia have a few similarities, but they present much differently. Here’s how to identify symptoms, treatment, and more.Efficacy Expectations Regarding Female Athletes With Eating Disorders. Only 27% of athletic trainers believed they could identify an athlete with an eating disorder, and 1 in 3 (38%) believed he or she could ask an athlete if she had an eating disorder (Table (Table2).

Approximately one half (53%) stated they could effectively offer support.Submitted by Gemma Williams*(1) (1) Gemma Williams is Director of Health Writers SLU and specialist in eating disorders in athletes and exercise psychology.

The Prevalence of Eating Disorders in Athletes. Although disordered eating and exercise behaviors have been highlighted as significant issues among collegiate athletes, the percentage of athletes who meet full diagnostic criteria for clinical or subclinical eating disorders vary greatly, from 1.1% to 49.2% across studies (4,10,12,24,30,42).

so i’m like really skinny and underweight and i have a lot of the symptoms but i still dont really know if i have it. so can someone help me out. Its the same thing with anxiety like i have everything that someone with anxiety has but Im not technically diagnosed with it.
I think i have anorexia because i don’t have my period for 2 months, i also take just 700 calories per day and have a 45min workout. i do it excessive workout and super restrictive diet. What should i do to stop this on my own? pls help me
wow i’m super late to this but a reminder that you do not need to be underweight to be anorexic!! i’m in the perfect weight range for my age and height and i still have anorexia, as well as i still had anorexia when i was 20 pounds heavier. it’s such a horrible mindset that you need to be a certain weight to be considered anorexic because it feels like it almost reinforces the focus on weightlike saying “oh you’re not skinny enough to be anorexic” often causes people to delve further into the eating disorder because they don’t think it’s a real problem. if you’re reading this and you fit every criteria for anorexia but aren’t underweight (like me), you are still anorexic, and i cannot express enough that you aren’t alone and that you need to seek help and support. even if it’s hard to believe, please know that you’re worth so much more than this disorder and that you matter. i love you, please stay safe <3
The thing a lot of ignorant people get stuck on is that just because you’re diagnosed with Anorexia, doesn’t mean you gotta be thin and bones to be diagnosed with it. You can still have plenty of fat on you but still be Anorexic because of the symptoms.
How I got it was my friend suggested a fast we could do for fun and I did it for a week and suddenly got obsessed with it now I practically starve my self like if my mum asks me if I have had anything to eat I Will say yes when I haven’t the longest I have gone is 2 weeks do u think I have it ( I also am dropping weight but I think I’m fat)
Please never use the term “women” to describe those who menstruate, or females in general. Not all women menstruate (or have the organs to menstruate), and some men menstruate (and have the organs to do so). Using women to describe females is cisnormative and transphobic.
Me because kids in my school always made fun of me and my mom just made it worst same thing with my sister and my grandma and mainly my mom’s side
I’m 5.9feet walk loads or try work put even though I don’t have energy, I only eat once a day and bing eat 2rines a week and vomit till I have nothing of not doing that I hurt myself, do t eat on front of anyone for 14years I cook all the time and a feeder and love feeding people but after -16 years like this u get fat u bloat and ya face bloat, and ya belly all the places u don’t want gutted wish I could get out of this shit
I had anorexia and I was in the moderate zone. I literally was given a deadline to recover now I’m in a healthy weight but mentally i’m dying.
I traded an ED for another ED shame
If I had gotten the help I needed i’d probably have a healthy relationship with food plus I still fast, I purge now I drink lots of water so it doesn’t burn my throat and exercise a lot.
Anyone else loves to cook food and feed OTHERS but not ourselves?
I want to become anorexic, dont come at me for that! I normal weight and i want to be underweight,and i can’t get
This is stupid. I was diagnosed with boulimia but i was serveraly underweight. ITS NOT THE SAME. People with boulimia are binging and purging, and if its longer than 3 months you can get diagnosed with boulimia. THIS IS NOT WEIGHT RELATED. Anorexia is an ilness where people
restrict (you can have binges etc but its different) AND THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY WEIGHT. You dont have to be underweight to have anorexia. So stop saying that eating disorders are weight related, because yes you can be underweight, but you can also have a healthy weight or be overweight. Eating disorders are a form of having control in life. Not to ‘lose weight’.
I eat and don’t work out but I keep getting more and more thin. 6 months ago I couldn’t see my ribs and now I can very clearly ( my diet has not changed) is that ok?
my parents keep complaining about me not eating enough, but I do eat a lot of junk food at this point I dont have hunger and everytime I eat I feel gross, I enjoy the food but knowing my dad is watching me eat sucks and makes me feel insecure..
I don’t know why I find it so hard to eat I just can’t. I’ve always had trouble eating but I don’t know what’s happening plz help
I found this video to be informative. The illustrations helped get the point across quite well.
Does anything explain the causes?
Anorexia Nervosa is most often a survival response to trauma or abuse
I only eat once I day some time I skip meals all the time I skip breakfast lunch sometime I don’t eat at all
i don’t know what i have. i enjoy food, but i deny myself food because i feel i don’t deserve it. i even find myself enjoying the feeling of hunger. i don’t care about calories or fat intake. i do, however, critique my body and call myself fat, then respond by denying myself food or eating significantly less food. i have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. i currently cannot see a professional. i’m not asking for pity or inspirational crap. i just want to know what might be causing this. and strangely, a lot of people on youtube are very educated in this stuff. so… any ideas?
How can I help my best friend? I really have no idea what to do and I’m worried.
i stopped eating because it feels so wrong to me I only eat little portions and when I have to much calories I purge I try to throw it up and usually do or throw up a bunch of water, it doesn’t make me feel good until it’s over with and i excessively exercise but even then I don’t feel skinny I am scared I will never feel skinny and just keep doing this
I have been on and off again with anorexia physically, but it’s always been with me mentally. I am 24, and it all started my first day of Kindergarten (had a classmate who was morbidly obese, and I swore I wasn’t going to be like her). I’m pretty sure the “brain damage” and behavioral issues I have gained from these are irreparable.:(
there is something incorrect about this video that i would like to talk about.
while TYPICALLY anorexia is found in normal to underweight people, it’s doesn’t mean there aren’t overweight or obese people with it.
i’m overweight myself (i’m slowly losing weight though) and i have anorexia (the 1st type, i don’t eat a lot and purge. instead i limit my food intake) also i saw a few people that are overweight as well and are diagnosed with anorexia just like me.
I was anorexic when I looked in the mirror I saw more weight too lose everyone told me how skinny I was but I didn’t see it
Okay this is so wrong. Your weight does not determine if you have anorexia or not.
I’m a binge eater:(:(:(:(
I’m the first and last 2 reasons but I’m not overweight. You don’t have to be overweight to binge eat ppl need to get that right!!
I’ve been fasting for 2 days now to control my eating.
Also can someone tell me the difference between fasting and anorexia
I’m 120 and 13 and around 5”1 but I hate my stomache and my thighs and feel as tho I’m “fat” but idk why
Its indescribable, watching your body diminish before your eyes. Seeing what once was healthy. Then seeing the decrepit half-ghost in the mirror looking back. Asking how did it get this far?
What do you mean, “ specially anorexia “… are other eating disorders less valid? Are those people don’t deserve help and support? Is it just because they are normal weight? I lost a friend, she was ok in doctors eyes, not accepted for ED services as her BMI was 23…sadly she died because of her ED and she was healthy weight. Every ED is a serious disease. Please be more mindful x
Anorexia is a symbolism for restricting…anorexia is symbolism for inner hate…anorexia is symbolism for skull and bones. Anorexia is symbolism for sunken like a ship?..anorecia is cult related…Depopulate
I’m thinking of switching from bulimia to anorexia. This vid said anorexic ppl lose more weight so its confirmed I’m switching over.
I feel better when I’m hungry then when I’m full, so that’s why I dont eat more than one meal a day and still I dont lose weight.
I always feel dizzy and I never can eat, It all just feels gross to me.:(
What is the medicine for treatment and what is the name of the glass?
I do have a small diet but when I start loosing weight I get worried that my period would stop
Is there a specific reason why body fat percentage is not used instead of bmi?
My height is 160 and I weight 50 I’m obsessed with my weight whenever I eat anything I regret it soo baaad
Oh no, I’m going to have to go through the assessment tomorrow as I’m getting seen for an eating disorder ( at 12 years old )
I disagree with this on so many levels. Anorexia is “about” your body, but it’s also ABOUT your relationship with food. Your weight doesn’t define whether or not you have anorexia. Sometimes it’s about control, too.
Not all anorexics are skinny
Not all anorexics work out
Not all anorexics hate their bodies
BUT
All anorexics are valid.
I’m well aware y’all are gonna roast me, or this comment is just gonna go unseen, but I had to throw my opinion out there. Take it as you will.
weight determines nothing. i was disgusted when he said that. get your mind out of the gutter! ugh truly disappointed
Am I the only person that hates when I feel a little bit better (I mean when I don’t cry for one day or when I’m in better mood..) and than I think I’m healthy and dont have eating disorder anymore…I know that there is a problem when I don’t feel sick enought but this is not the same?
Does someone has this problem except me????
I don’t know if I have anorexia because I don’t like my weight and I try to stay under 2000 calories but I try to not eat a lot just mainly drink water everyone says I’m “thin/skinny” but I think I’m so fat but I don’t cut my food into tiny pieces I just don’t know I’m 12 about to be 13 and I weight 106.5 I’m also 5’4 to me I want to lose more weight if anyone can will you give me your thought just don’t be mean❤️
im super skinny,i want to gaij weight but i can’t eat a a lot,my friends tell me i only not gain weight because i have a faster metabolism but actually no,i po*p irregularly
I really dont know,i cant gain weight.I I only lose weight.
It’s very well done, but as I actually have an eating disorder (binge eating) I would like to underline that it’s actually not good/useful to have a strict diet, as it could lead to be too much hungry and to binge again. Of course, if you are used to eat a lot (even during meals) a normal diet would lead you to be hungry, more than the usual, but it shouldn’t be excessicevely strict unless you are severely obese and need to lose lots of kg quickly for health reasons. I have a diet of almost 1500kcal daily (and it’s a pretty normal kcal intake for a healthy woman) and I still am losing weight. Apart from it the video is well done.
I’m 11 and I’m 5’5 I’m 108 and I starve myself I’m also scared of eating like I skip half of my meals and I sneak and throw away food when I’m supposed to eat it so idk I lost like 20 pounds in two months btw ik I’m tall lmao
i eat less tahn 300 calories on a day,obsessed with my weight and ususally do hard exersizes and i am fasting about 23. 30:30..
so,i think i need help
So my question would be, the only difference between the binge/purge subtype of anorexia, and bulimia, is the BMI?
A channel with over 1 million subs should not be telling people for 8 minutes that you HAVE to be skinny to have anorexia. It’s disgusting:/
This is literally when you do MUKBANG when you are too skinny!
I’m underweight so my parents tell me to eat more and defecate less:/
Bolt animal super Linda easy master Sally more wicth is if very very low donedissoders
I have anorexia purging type. I’ve never really struggled with binging just restricting and purging and over-exercising. I appreciate the fact that there’s videos trying to educate ppl on these mental illnesses and how it focuses on the severity of it. However, it’s very frustrating and unhelpful to focus on being underweight or overweight since it’s more of a unhealthy coping mechanism to deal with underlying emotional issues/trauma/life changes. Of course there are physical side affects of eating disorders but ya gotta treat the brain (emotional needs/mood regulation) to fix the disordered eating and that requires a lot of work and support from others sometimes.
Aids is also caused by an attack.
Sodomy causes an auto immune response.
Most people recover, some cant.
Anorexia or bulimia both involve a desire not to go to the bathroom.
Anorexia you don’t want to eat because a bowel movement is painful.
Bulimia you eat bit you evacuate by getting yourself sick.
Same reason a bowel movement is painful.
Most people with this disorder recover eventually.
Some were possibly attacked which in turn causes pain.
Some dont really have a false image of their body weight and they may not want to tell what may have happened to them.
I’m 80% of the ideal weight (70 kg) for my height (175cm), and 18.3 bmi rating. I just don’t have the appetite. I don’t move much, so you would furthermore expect for me to have it easy to gain weight but it’s not.. I get that I don’t have anorexia as my lack of weight isn’t associated with anything mental, but it’s still very annoying being so skinny that wind literally blows you away. And it’s not like I eat healthy food with very little calories.. All this just doesn’t quite add up. Perhaps genes?
I enjoy looking slender! I went plant based almost a year ago and lost everything! I’m a guy almost 26, 5’11 at 123lb. I’m not quite anorexic, I’d say like Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker Funnily enough he’s been Vegan since childhood.
I would highly recommend a ‘Plant Based Diet’. People are supposed to be thin..! I can gain weight if I wanted to but like I said it’s cool..!
Seriously though if anyone is struggling eat more: White rice / Potatoes, Beans, Chickpea’s, Nut-butter., Creatine supplement’s.
‘PLANT BASED BABY..’ ANIMALS WANT TO LIVE!
My friend had anorexia last year and it was really hard to see her at lunch everyday and she wasn’t eating anything. I think her eating disorder has gotten better though because the last time I saw her she ate a few mini donuts, but I’m not sure. But recently one of my friends who moved away told me that she’s starving herself because she misses her friends.
when you also restrict food and at the same time purge the food you ate because you think you ate too much and starting to feel guilty of what you had done
♀♀♀
The binge and purge us bulimia. Also you don’t need be underweight to have an eating disorder, my one physician and nutritionist can back me up on that. You video was ignorance.
Right now I feel at risk of gaining some sort of eating disorder because I recently discovered that one problem I have can be solved or at least shrunken down by losing weight and that made me have thoughts and under-eating and I’ve been subconsciously eating less after I started getting those kinds of thoughts
Can somebody help me, I’m just incredibly confused and I’m not sure if I’m paranoid when I say I might be at risk of an eating disorder that is to do with not eating enough
YOU CAN BE “FAT” AND ANOREXIC, WEIGHT IS A CONSEQUENSE NOT A SYMPTOM, things like that make us people with eating disorder and a normal weight feel like we’re not sick/have a eating disorder, that lead to even worse restriction of food and excessive exercises
He is saying all of this bad stuff but I AM still considering it. I just can’t go overboard
I’m here because I just met a guy about a month now but I’m concerned since he is very very thin! I mean, I can see all of his bones! He has sunken eye lids but he seems fine. Has a job drives drinks. I have seen him eat (a lot) but I have noticed he skips a lot blaming it on no time to eat… not sure how to ask him or talk to him about my concern…
i still am currently trying to recover, i was 11 and 5”5 with a BMI of 13.0 and i was very very thin, but i just want to let you know, it does get better:)
Could someone explain for me what is the difference between dieting and anorexia? I don’t know if I’m suffering from ED or I’m just living healthy lifestyle?
I am skinny af but I like to eat and I eat a lot, but I never gain weight, can anyone explain the reason for this?
I’ve struggled with my body image ever since i was young. and i’ve reached out so many times to my family everytime things get worse and the problem i’ve reached out about get fixed a little and then i fall back into the same habits only getting worse. and my family yells at me a judges me because i’m doing these things to myself BUT I WAS NEVER TAUGHT HOW TO FIX MYSELF. i so badly want to reach out and even have written a letter to my mom because it’s the best way i can express myself is by writing a letter and giving it at the time i feel i’m ready. but the thought of not only telling my family what i’ve begun doing the thought of gaining weight and not being able to fit into my jeans scares me so much. i’m terrified and i know if get help or reach out things will only get worse i’ll be told i’m “only 15, this is normal” it’ll get swept under the rug or i’ll actually need real help. i can’t gain weight and i can’t go back to the hospital again. i don’t know if i’m normal. i have no one to talk to. and quite frankly i don’t know if i want the help because i’m comfortable controlling my body they way i know how. i need help but i just can’t do it.
There are Americans and their notions of a “healthy diet”, and then there’s the rest of the world. It’s only an American who would say that the treatment for someone’s body image issues is prohibiting exercise and having them eat processed, highly calorific junk foods, including the chemical mess that is Ensure, etc. Maybe take the kid out on a hard day hike for exercise and teach them how to cook? Or is a healthy weight for an American borderline obese with the most strenuous exercise picking up a Twinkie?
I suppose that when daily home cooked meals are a rarity, when “eating out” is a daily thing, and when a significant portion of the diet consists of highly processed foods ladden with endocrine disruptors, it’s no wonder that Americans pork up, and then their children resort to stupid behavior to lose the weight, rather than being sensible. A 25 lbs weight loss for the “average American” teenaged girl over the course of a year would make them mildly underweight, unless they were exceptionally skinny to begin with. If your kid is avoiding processed foods and maybe having a nutritionally imbalanced vegetarian diet, maybe it’s time to carefully think what you’re feeding your kids and your family.
Whereas in the rest of the world (at least where large scale factory farming and processed foods are still uncommon), most people are quite skinny without putting in any special effort to be skinny. And there should be a big distinguishing difference between skinny and so dangerously underweight that your organs are shutting down — there’s a very, very big distinction. And it’s amusing when the “medical experts” on healthy human nutrition are somewhat overweight and “dumpy” looking themselves, and look like they could use to eat that gallon of ice cream less often.
how do you know if a patient is lying about not having any symptoms or their behaviors
It’s not anorexia it’s AFRID avoidant food, restive food intake disorder. I have no body image issues. It was just a feeding problem tell the DSM 5 came out. I eat slow and I never have hunger cues. I don’t like certain textures and smells. It’s also anxiety I get anxious around people eating. I eat better alone. I won’t eat processed foods but all the same, I have no body dysphoria. I dong think I’m fat. I don’t workout at all just walk every so often to get to the store cause I don’t drive. I’ve had it as long as I can remember. I was always like this. Yet I’ve been heavy at 5”2 I was 170 cause I blew up from psych meds. I’m like 110 now. My ideal body weight is 115
Could this have been a MORE cliche example? Eye. Roll. Yet another teenage girl with a concerned mother. How do you go about assessing the young trans man with EDNOS? Or the post-menopausal empty nester with BED? This conversation is so incredibly dated and harmful because it exacerbates the century-old example of restrictive anorexia as the ONLY eating disorder. Thumbs DOWN. Sure, Megan exists, but come on medical “professionals” there IS a world beyond her.
Many people battle with Bulimia day in and day out. Here’s my story and struggle with Bulimia.
https://threeminutereads.home.blog/2019/08/05/me-vs-bulimia/
Sounds crazy but I searched all youtube to find a way to puke. I’ve sat in my bathroom for about an hour and have just been gagging
I’m not scared of being fat but I am really skinny it got to a point where I’m really weak
you also didn’t discuss the psychological elements, you only mentioned checking the patient for physical symptoms fo anorexia?
what about adults though? because the parents don’t have to know then do they?
is there anybody else going through what i am going through because i feel i am the only one. i began to starve myself and i developed an underactive thyroid that somehow made me gain weight. i barely even eat anything, just fruit and vegetables if they’re on my plate. i hate everything i literally am cursed this happens to nobody else but me. i weigh more than what i used to when i dont even eat shit anymore. i am so unlucky and i don’t even understand how this is scientifically possible. i don’t even get hungry but i have 100-400 calories every day. what is wrong with my body?
Thank you for being clear with your overview of initial approaches to engaging the patient and family.
As an aspiring dietician looking to specialise in eating disorders where can I find more information on how dieticians can help those suffering with an ED?
little views. little comments. lots of knowledge. all 3 eating disorders (as well as those without a specific name) are just as bad and just as fucked up. no one gets happy from them. whether your ed makes you gain or lose weight, it’s just as unhealthy, fucked up, stressing and depressing.:/

An Introductory Guide To Ending Emotional Eating Forever
https://www.jackpotdeals.co/2020/07/an-introductory-guide-to-ending.html?m=1
Emotional overeating is almost a joke in our society – movies, TV shows, and the resulting stereotypes cause many of us to laugh about how much ice cream it takes to get over a boyfriend, or how much chocolate we need to overcome rejection. But for those who actually suffer from emotional overeating, it’s anything but funny
This powerful guide will provide you with everything you need to finally overcome this sometimes devastating eating problem.
Your videos are clear and the visual representation is also phenomenal. Keep at it!
I searched “how to get anorexia” this isn’t what I wanted
“When the person is pregnant “… what guy is f*ing you when you are bones and skin. I swear guys will put their d*cks in anything. Are you f*cking blind. St*pid idi0ts!
I’ve had periods where I did binge eating and compensated with fasting. My weight stays within a 10 pound range. In my experience, binge eating comes from subconscious ‘food anxiety’, so basically the perception that food may be scarce later, therefore I need to binge. I cured my binge eating by always satisfying my hunger cues, and surrounding myself with plenty of food, including possible trigger foods. I’ve trained my subconscious to relieve itself of food anxiety and my binging episodes have dropped to 1 or 2 per month, as opposed to 2-4 times per week when I was at my worst. I still occasionally indulge in overeating, but there is no guilt or need for compensatory behavior.
Binge eating is about a vicious cycle of binging and guilt and compensation. The cure is to give your body what it needs and take away the anxiety of food scarcity, and that means including trigger foods in your life. Once your subconscious learns that there is no shortage of food, and that triggers foods are 100% okay to eat, binging behavior goes away effortlessly.
I hate food but I don’t hate my body. Of course I want to be skinnier but I don’t actively hate my body for it. My BMI is 15 and I have every single symptom. I am scared of gaining weight. I barely eat. I get maybe 500 calories a day. I have incredibly low blood pressure and a lot of physical symptoms. Is this anorexia or something else?
When I was 15-16 I couldn’t help and eat like crazy until I was sick because I hated my body.. And now I’m 17-18 and I’m losing too much weight.. Look at me… I’m miserable. I’m slowly dying…
I had to gain today a little weight beacuse my mum said that she will see tomorow my weight…so i just like start to eat i literally just binged with honey, butter or something like that, but i always can stand like without eating so…it is a little bit strange
Ive got what a call emotional eating disorder. Can see am like a walking corpse and hate it look like a child. Eat when am happy n starve when am not. Perpetual cycle of misery and low self esteem. “Stop the world im getting off”Bmi ranges from 13 to 18 cant get passed 18. Look healthy at 18 but in comparison to what
olanzapine actually caused my eating disorder, it made me gain a LOT of weight, which made me hate my body and then i took extreme measures to lose the weight
This was great but BMI is meaningless if a person is athletic/muscular, I don’t know why it continues to be used, especially in these scenarios that include people who exercise a lot.
i haven’t been eating as much and i don’t have an appetite anymore.. when i did i ate a lot and i’ve lost a lot of weight.. i used to be 120 pounds (i’m 4’11) and now i’m 100.3 i just don’t feel hungry and the thought of food makes me nauseous
This is great and gave me a better understanding I enjoyed the chart
Both the content and the presentation are well done. Please keep up the good work.
I’m gaining weight and losing it again so my bmi is changing between above and under 18.5 all the time. I restrict and binge so bulimia and anorexia would fit both with makes it even harder to be diagnosed and see a the problem
So I don’t have an eating disorder because I’m not underweight. Who knew.
Wow! What a wonderful video, really you made medicine easy!

Can someone clarify? At 20:00, she says being a teenager is considered up to the age of 24. Who makes that rule? How did that rule come up?
I don’t want to eat anymore.. My best friend told me “please eat if its not for you do it for me, please I dont want you to end up in the hospital” I want to but I just dont.. It terrifies me and idk what to do at 13 I hit 83 pounds at one time..
I need help, I’m currently underweight and I still cant stop purging everything i eat, EVERYTHING, ive been so weak and fainting almost everyday but i just cant stop because i still see myself fat. Ive been having dry mouth and sores and if i try to recover, i get indigestion and constipation, it sucks and is pushing me to stop recovering.
You had me until… 28:00 “You will never in your life be able to go without eating” because I will be a breatharian; I don’t need to eat or drink; it’s a habit that can be kicked.
Thank you so much I can’t live my life because of this stupid eating disorder
Mam plz help me out.
I am 13 and all the symptoms are matching.
Personally, I suffer from BN. Identifying and becoming aware of the problem is the first step to overcoming it so here I come…
I am 14 years old now i was overweight since i was 7 i have lived a lot of my life thinking about diet and not eating and i was losing weight than binging and gaining weight i was thinking about preventing food that i enjoy since i was 7 and my family even my grandparents were really encouraging me to do something like this at this young age especially my grandmother…. She litteraly know nothing about me or my mental health …. All she cares about when she sees me is my weight …. Even my dad but now it’s better ….. i am very short and overweight and let me tell you that i feel disgusted by my self … i try not to think about it but it’s hard …. I have never wear a crop top in my life …
This was my baground story
But lately i went on vacation with my family … the day before when i was packing my bags i tried every piece in my closet and everything looked disgusting… i cried myself until i felt a really bad headache …even my bathing suit looked more disgusting than normal … this day i didn’t eat anything and before traveling i was so hungry so i ate half a sandwich and mom was judging me …. During the trip she was judging me every minute ( she’s skinny and she doesn’t eat as much as she can as if we are in a competition) even though dad payed for only breakfast and dinner and we ate nothing in between ( nearly 12 h without eating) i didn’t even eat thet much at this two meals …. But she was judging how much i eat being proud of herself that she ate less …. I swear i know that she loves me and i don’t want to beleive that she’s toxic …. And if i said that I’m excited or that i am hungry for the next meal she say that how am i hungry and that she can’t anything ….. she’s saying that she’s joking but she’s truly hurting me since i’ve struggled with my weight for years i barely loose any weight … She’s also always comparing her weight to mine ( i am way heavier than her) ….. so at the last meal in the vacation i was thinking about ordering soda … she looked at me and said why are you drinking too much soda what’s happening to you even though she litteraly had soda an hour ago or something and she doesn’t say something for my brother who’s drinking soda 24/7 ( she’s convinced that she’s joking and i didn’t want to ruin the trip so i was responding with other jokes ) but this time i showed her my real feelings and i tried not to cry but i accidentally cried.. At first she was like sorry and i was saying that it’s okay but than without even doing anything else she started ignoring me and crying and playing the victim … all of that because i cried once in front of her … trust me i didn’t want to cry in front of her i wanted to cry silently in my bed bcause mom gets mad if she saw me cry or having any negative feelings but this time i couldn’t hold my tears until i go home … and now i don’t know how to fix the problem since she’s refusing to talk to me and she gets offended so easily.
I was thinking of trying to become anorexic and ending up at the hospital so she can see the consequences of what she said but i am worried about that she will get mad at me if i ended up in the hospital ( iam sure she will as she got mad whenever i cry …. I never understand why but she’s playing the victim everytime and it’s me who always apologize even tho when i do nothing wrong)
But don’t worry i will not do this because i don’t want to be the loser and this will do nothing but more drama and i believe that one day I’ll loose weight in a healthy way but i don’t feel like it at the moment …
Now I’ll take a long nap and cry a bit so I don’t have any left emotions to show to my mom by accident and than i will think about a way to apologize and fix the problem as i always do and you can maybe suggest what should i do
Sorry if i wrote a lot but this was very relaxing since everyone gets ofended if i said anything like that and I don’t feel comfortable sharing this kind of personal shit with my friend… please ignore my bad english … it’s not my native language …. And please tell me what to do because or leave any comment idk.. <3
hola que pasa chavales fui el primer comentario en español y estoy aquí por una tarea de ingles
So powerful! Thank you for sharing about the signs many professionals may see, but not recognize at eating disorders! Creating a community of informed professionals is so important!
This is good information. Almost no eating disordered people I know are able to get good treatment. Real treatment costs big money.
I’m anorexic. I live in Germany and God, I can tell u, German doctors are sooo behind you guys refering to eating disorders. They just don’t know anything about it and it’s very difficult to find someone who could help you.
