Bulimia - What it can Do to You

By Mike Linden


Many people have these strange diets and schemes so as to shed weight, but some seem crazier as they are going overboard with obsession and preoccupations on losing pounds. Some are so overly concerned with how they appear to be that they don't know that these thoughts and actions are serious mental conditions. One of those is bulimia. So as to understand what bulimia is, we have to know Marnie.

Marnie is a girl who is 18 years of age. She's tall, has a slim frame, and she is beautiful. She has friends who've got the same built and height and who've got the same interests "to look beautiful and to party whenever they get an opportunity. Marnie likes to socialise a lot and together with these socializations, she enjoys eating. She eats whatever she would like to, eats a lot at one standing, as she gives in to what she would like always. But , the thought of getting fat with all of the stuff that she has eaten, brings her guilt. She doesn't desire to get fat. She wants to remain beautiful, lean, slim, and tasty. Every after she eats, she is going to the lavatory, forces herself to puke out everything she ate, or to expel them all out by drinking diuretics. Afterwards, she starts eating again. Because of this, Marnie does not add weight and quite maintains her figure.

As the time went by by, Marnie spotted cavities in her teeth and a stinging throat, a lack of energy for any activity and stomach pains. Soon, she observed her weight to be fluctuating, and her feces was black in colour. Marnie one day faints at college and was rushed to the surgery.

Marnie has the disposition of bulimia nervosa. She loves to eat, but she expels everything and does not want to take in the food. Due to the frequent vomiting, cavities and throat ulcers can form. Our stomach contains stomach acid, and with frequent barfing, the acid reaches the food pipe, the throat, and the mouth. A low level of electrolytes,eg potassium, and dehydration can also result, leading to weakness. Potassium is essential for our muscles and water is very important for our cells to to function efficiently. Stomach ulcers can also happen, that might worsen and lead directly to bleeding. Black feces is one sign that there may be bleeding in the stomach. Soon, if the conditions go on, the body surrenders and shuts down , therefore , fainting.

Bulimia is especially commonplace amongst teens and among girls. Therefore , complete steerage with regards to diet and mental support should be given to this group when it comes to nutrition and being healthy. Those who need to shed weight should not go overboard with this. Bulimia is just too much, and rather than making you healthy, it can kill you. So for best results, consult a fitness professional and nutritionist, because they know the simplest way on the best way to make you beautiful, just the way in which you need yourself to be.
