Most often anorexia is the result of unsuccessful weight loss. Despite the existence of a well-known formula of healthy weight (height - 100 kg = ideal weight), many women tend to the lowest possible possible mark on the scales. As a result, they get huge problems of a physiological and psychological nature, it is very difficult to cope with.
Symptoms of anorexia
If you look from the doctor's point of view, the symptoms are much larger than we plan to list. But this list is most understandable and will help prevent the disease at its early stage.
Constant dissatisfaction with your weight
Especially if it is within the normal range. A person with anorexia constantly seeks to lose weight. Diets for him - a normal daily diet. Add even a few grams - a special tragedy. This happens when a girl is not satisfied with her appearance, she has low self-esteem, and others in no way help to fix it.
Malfunction of the menstrual cycle
In the process of excessive weight loss, a woman gets a hormonal background, as a result of which there are irregularities in the menstrual cycle. If you observe the absence of menstruation for more than three months in a row, it is worth immediately contacting your doctor. Most likely the gynecologist will diagnose "amenorrhea" - which means "delay of menstruation."
Too Intensive Weight Loss
This applies to cases where a woman with a normal weight tends to lose weight even more. As a result, it reaches a critically low body weight, thereby violating all metabolic processes in the body. Most often these people refuse to visit a doctor, and even more so a psychologist, although this is necessary.
Typical behavior of a person with anorexia
First of all, women who suffer from anorexia constantly limit themselves in eating. No matter how you ask them, they will never eat more than a gram. They are constantly in fasting mode so at first they may be somewhat nervous and irritated.
But there is a second category of women who suffer from anorexia and eat a lot. But all that is eaten instantly appears in the toilet. They either cause vomiting, or abuse laxatives, enemas. Usually, these women do not understand that they are ill and explain their behavior by prophylaxis against anorexia, which is completely wrong.
To not get sick with anorexia, it is very important to understand that losing weight should be healthy. This process necessarily includes proper nutrition and regular exercise. In addition, do not be level with the well-known models that are looking at you from the magazine. Remember one magic word - Photoshop. He is able to do even from the ugly beautiful angel. Anorexia is not an easy way to lose weight. Ill by it, you will dream of returning a full-fledged life full of bright colors.
