Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by extreme weight loss and lack of eating. Treating anorexia is difficult because it is such a complex disorder. I want to share some interesting facts about anorexics. The anorexics have a distorted body image and they believe that they are fat and ugly. But in reality they are severely under weight. No one knows what anorexia is caused by. I am sure about the fact that by controlling their food intake they generate a feeling of control within themselves. I wonder if they are aware about the fact that they are risking themselves to a series of severe medical complications including a weakened heart muscle, kidney and liver disorders, gastro intestinal problems such as constipation and ulcers…..etc…The list seems to be endless.
What makes an anorexic to diet???To be honest I have no idea. To become skinny or the skinniest?...I have heard about special diets for anorexics. They heavily depends on diet pills. If you starve yourself your body goes into starvation mode. Where it begins to eat the muscles away.One Diet is to eat only buttered bread and loads of water. In around four days you will start too see your rib cage. you MUST Stop when you see your ribs and eat veggies. Avoid all types of carbohydrates especially potatoes..If you know anyone Who is anorexic or bulimic tell the person you trust. Remember : Anorexia is a psychological problem. That’s sounds bit like an advice to me. I hate it when some one advices me. A person is capable of making decisions if he/she had made a decision to diet.
So my point is how can you become a better anorexic.?
It is very hard to find an answer which satisfies a bunch of doctors. They are always good to come up with the name of a scary disease or a physcological condition. I have come up with a solution .
• Reaffirm the mission. Get hold on to a fat, blank note book and write down your goal, which is basically to lose weight. But be specific, how much in a particular time period. Flip through the pages when you feel like you are failing to achieve your goal.
• Come up with a list of punishments. Try disgusting tasks like cleaning the bathroom etc..
• Find another anorexic to comfort yourself. It could one among your friends or an online buddy. Discuss your plans and appreciate each other when you achieve something.
Thinspiration
The main reason why some one trying lose weight is because of the photo shopped celebrity images around them. Then why don’t we take it as an inspiration. Watch thinspiring films, literature and TV shows. I came up with a few of them. “I am an artichoke by Lucy Frank, “Dairy of an eating disorder by Chelsea Smith and Beverley Runyon. “For the love of Nancy’’ is a film based on the true story of the lead actress Tracey Gold. She was actually suffering from Anorexia Nervosa and this is made use in the movie to portray the role of Nancy. I always find someone as my role model. It is really helpful when we are trying to achieve something which we consider harder. Their footsteps will be there to guide us throughout the whole journey. Angelina Jolie would be an excellent choice
What else?.... I missed something really important. My experience while I was trying hard to look a bit skinnier. I was obsessed about being skinny after watching a whole season of America’s Next top model and also the news about Kareena kapoor being size zero. Enough to get my attention. Size zero? In my whole life I haven’t see any dress with a size zero tag. Well back to experience.I started on pretty simple. My 1st decision was to avoid all the junk food. I failed miserably right away. But still I managed to avoid some of them. My jogging sessions were good enough for me to stick to my normal life. But I wasn’t ready to accept the failure yet. Tried replacing sugar by honey was quite successful. The stupidest thing I have ever done is drinking a teaspoon of vinegar before each meal. How weired is that? Few days couldn’t make any noticeable difference in me. But I did loose some weight. About 1.5 kg in 2 weeks. That was a good effort. I wasn’t interested in making myself ugly anymore.I dont think typing all these inspired me to lose weight. I had 4 choclate chip cookies while getting this blog done.But Hope I helped one among thousands who is trying to be skinny and look extra sexy !
