What causes you to develop an eating disorder binge, anorexia, bulimia ?

When I was in college, I liked a girl, but because of my fat she rejected me, and then I swore that I must **, I walked to the gym after dinner after class every day, and it was just right to get there, a few days ago, I was so tired that I was paralyzed, and after a long time, I slowly persevered, and after a month, I weighed myself and lost 20 pounds, and I was really pleasantly surprised at the time, and now I am more than 110 and six-pack abs, and I like my current self. ‍‍

I have been genetically fat since I was a child, and my classmates have given me various nicknames since I was in elementary school, but I think it doesn't matter, the pressure in the third year of high school is really too great, and then I usually don't have time to eat, and I don't have the mood, I lost thirty pounds during the time I was preparing for the college entrance examination, and then my classmates unanimously felt that this was a miracle. ‍‍

Lack of self-confidence, excessive pursuit of thinness, dieting, depression, etc. may cause eating disorders.

At the beginning of June, I was dumped by my boyfriend who had been talking for three years, I couldn't get out for a month, didn't eat, and only used a bag of yogurt every day to continue my life, and when I weighed nearly 20 pounds on July 10, all my friends were surprised to see it during that time, and I felt that I had changed a person.

When I first came out of work, I was still an intern, so I worked hard at everything, and overtime was the norm. Originally, I had a fairly uniform figure of about 100, but it became 90 in half a year, although this ten pounds does not sound like much, but my 165 height of 90 pounds does look too thin. I am very busy at work every day, so I discuss with my colleagues what to eat at noon every day, and I basically eat casually for dinner.

Coupled with the pressure of work, I also lost my appetite and was not in good shape. Without regular diet and rest, I was in the hospital at one point. ‍‍

I was busy with the physical education exam and the high school entrance examination in the third year of junior high school, I ate a lot every day, I was too late to go home from cram school at night, so I bought KFC every day and brought it to the cram school to eat, did I have any homework during the summer vacation of junior high school, I lay on the sofa all day long to read a book, eat spicy hot, and then my face was rounded, everyone has a love for beauty, I decisively chose to wear clothes, I lost 25 pounds a month, and then there was a bottleneck period of half a month, and I began to lose weight again in the past two days.

I used to be very fat, fat is the kind of belly fat, and then because of one thing hit me very hard, I didn't think about tea, I didn't eat, I lay in bed in a daze, and suddenly lost 92 pounds, and then my friends have been persuading me, saying a lot of good things, and even she fed me, little by little to give me food, just like that, pulled me back from the brink of death. ‍‍

25 people, the past two years have been not enterprising, living a muddy life, smoking and drinking, beer belly has come out, it was almost 150 pounds at that time, but some things happened, let me feel the crisis. I changed my job, kept myself busy, and motivated myself to keep moving forward, and I lost 20 pounds in a month, just because the diet was too bad, and then it caused stomach problems. ‍‍

During that time, I had a negative mood, and I didn't have time to cook at work every day, and I ate fast food near the company. The place is remote, there are only two of them. I don't have to choose, the quality is very poor.

I don't have an appetite after eating less than a few bites a day. I eat very little, I go for a run every night after work, I sweat profusely, I abuse and enjoy, I really lose weight, and I buy clothes in a small size. From a girl who originally looked strong to a girl with slender legs, thin arms and a thin waist, that was brutal, but in exchange for weight loss, it seems to be a happy thing. ‍‍

Eating disorders are a group of disorders related to psychological disorders, inability to eat normally, and uncontrollable onset of attacks, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and vomiting nervosa. Different from picky eating, refusal or pica, it is not the inability to eat caused by tissue and organ lesions, but psychophysiological disorders and psychosomatic diseases.

Anorexia nervosa.

This is an eating disorder caused by deliberate dieting to control your weight. Initially, it mostly occurred among young women from the upper classes of developed countries. With the development of society, the incidence of the disease in developing countries has gradually increased.

Its prevalence is difficult to count because many patients deny their condition or do not consider it a disease. Patients are also uncooperative**, or even resistant**, mild patients have few symptoms, while severe cases can lead to death, with a mortality rate of 5% to 20%. The cause of its pathogenesis is attributed to the combination of individual susceptibility and psychosocial causes.

Eating disorders (ED) are a group of syndromes characterized by abnormal eating behavior. This group of disorders mainly includes anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), which are psychotic disorders.

Anorexia nervosa. The main feature is that the patient deliberately causes low body weight by various methods, such as dieting, and refuses to maintain the minimum standard weight.

And bulimia nervosaThe main features are recurrent binge eating and inappropriate countervailing behaviors after binge eating, such as ethereal inducement, abuse of diuretics or laxatives, dieting, or excessive exercise.

When it comes to eating disorders, some people may think that they just can't eat, and they call them eating disorders. No, it refers to a group of disorders characterized by abnormal eating behavior, excessive attention to food, and body weight and body shape. There are two main syndromes, anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, the former is deliberately caused by the patient's low body weight by dieting and other methods, refusing to maintain the lowest standard weight; The latter is recurrent binge eating and inappropriate countervailing behaviors after binge eating, such as vomiting.

Fear and attempts to counteract the fattening effects of food are often the most obvious psychopathologies in most patients.

1.Individual factors: include biological factors and personality factors.

Biological factors refer to the presence of a certain genetic predisposition in patients with eating disorders (more people have eating disorders and other psychiatric disorders in the family than in the normal population) and dysfunction of some brain regions; Personality factors refer to the typical personality traits common in patients with eating disorders—the pursuit of self-control, the pursuit of perfection, and uniqueness; Love fantasy, unwilling to grow up, etc. In adolescence, it is easy to show a strong conflict between autonomy and dependence, which leads to problems with eating.

2.Family factors: Family factors may play an important role in the occurrence, development, maintenance, and development of eating disorders.

The common pattern of 'eating disorder families' is (1) family members whose emotions are tightly entangled and unable to distinguish each other – 'love your love, pain your pain';(2) parents are overprotective of their children; (3) parental conflicts, in which children are involved and carry excessive burdens; (4) The family model is rigid and cannot adapt to the development of the child - always treat the grown child the same way as a baby. Some scholars have suggested that the patient's eating behavior represents a rebellion against the over-control and over-protection of parents. or dieting as a means of counter-control over parents as a way to resolve conflicts within the family. Some scholars believe that patients are highly dependent, and most of them have too close and dependent relationships with their mothers, and use self-control and eating as a symbol of their independence.

3.Socio-cultural factors: In modern social and cultural concepts, women's slender figure is regarded as a representative of self-confidence, self-restraint and success.

Therefore, it is easy for adolescent females to target ** when they pursue psychological strength and independence. And **vigorously promote** the efficacy, advocating that everyone can have the ultimate body, and it also makes it easier for girls who pursue perfection and fantasy to fall in.
