Are eating disorders something you’re born with?

Posted on by admin

No, the disorder itself is not something you are born with (although there are childhood feeding and eating disorders that occur at a very young age); however, you can be born with a disposition to an eating disorder (e.g. family history of eating disorders).

Anorexia fueled by pride about weight loss, study suggests

Those in a new study being treated for anorexia not only suffered with negative emotions but also felt emotionally positive, having a sense of pride over being able to maintain and exceed their weight-loss goals. “Being in control is important for many of these women,” one author said. “What we need to do is find a way to reconnect the positive emotions they feel in losing weight to other aspects of their lives that will lead to a more balanced sense of happiness.”

That means a lot dear. It definitely is an issue, any kind of eating disorder behaviour is a bad thing. It doesn’t matter if you just do it every once and a while, it is not something you should ever want to do, or actually do. Please please get help. You deserve better than this. Please talk to a parent, or a friend, or someone in your life. Reach out and start to make a change. Please.-Emma
