The Wellness of YOU! - # 180 - Kids and Weight
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |One of the challenges in today’s world is how to show the children of our world what a healthy body image looks like. There is so much competition from the television and magazines that the kids today aren’t really sure what they should look like, especially if they don’t look like the models on TV.
Those kids who are overweight, and who are trying to shed those extra pounds are certainly taking a positive step towards getting healthy. But, if that desire to lose weight has developed into an eating disorder, then this desire to lose weight has become an unhealthy obsession.
People with eating disorders may become dangerously thin or use extreme measures to lose weight. For instance, people suffering from anorexia practice self-starvation, while people suffering from bulimia participate in a cycle of bingeing followed by purging, typically through self-induced vomiting.
If you’re reading this blog, and you’re concerned about your own health — or that of a friend or loved one — get to know these common signs and symptoms of eating disorders:
* Significant and rapid weight loss
* Obsessive thoughts about food, weight, and appearance
* Binge eating, with or without purging (induced vomiting or laxative use)
* Isolation at mealtimes or frequent disappearances during and/or after meals
* Skipping meals or other restrictive behaviors around food
* Frequent weigh-ins on the scale
* Overexercising
* Abuse of laxatives, diuretics, or weight-loss medications
* Avoidance of activities such as social events or sports due to weight concerns
If you recognize these symptoms in yourself — or if you know someone who is experiencing these symptoms — consult with a health-care professional right away. These signs and symptoms are signals that call for immediate action.
