Lady In the beautiful and slender too was having problems eating. He often regurgitate food after eating a variety of dishes. Eating problems experienced by Lady Di is called bulimia.

It's just an example of the hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of cases of eating problems experienced by some people. Actually, we unknowingly had a friend, or sehabat lest we ourselves had experienced similar cases. What is anorexia or bulimia, and why someone may experience these things.


Anorexia Nervosa
Eating disorders are commonly encountered in young women is anorexic or fancy term known as anorexia nervosa. Anorexia is an activity to deal with loss by food restriction is deliberately and through strict control. People with anorexia are aware that they feel hungry but afraid to meet their food needs because it can result in increased body weight. Their perception of satiety so disturbed when they consume some foods in small portions, they will soon feel 'full' or even nausea. They are constantly dieting so hard to achieve a thin body. Ultimately this condition could cause a dangerous effect of the death of the patient. Just imagine, if they continue to refrain from eating, from whom they obtain energy to live.

Bulimia
If the anorexic desperately to keep his hunger and trying so hard to not consume food in large quantities so that it can hold 'live' simply by eating 2-3 tablespoons of rice per day, it is not the case with bulimia. In essence, the ultimate goal of people with bulimia and anorexia are the same, namely to maintain the slim body shape (thin) may be but how they are different. People with bulimia tend to like foods that they like. They eat too much for their willingness memuasakan but then they throw up again until there was no food left. Thus they avoid getting fat but still be thin without the need to restrain their desire to eat. Can imagine if someone constantly spewing the foods they eat, where they get the calories for the move. Tubuhpun become weak, difficult to think and ultimately no more energy can be used to defend himself.


Why Can Happen?
Upon entering adolescence, especially during puberty, adolescents become very concerned over the increase of their body weight. Physiological changes occur which sometimes disrupt the body. Usually, this is more often experienced by young women than young men. For young women, they experienced in the number of fat tissue so they will be easy for obese when consuming high-calorie foods. If it had no effect on any meal for weight loss, but after puberty (usually marked by periods), only two pieces of chocolate, how have the added weight of 1 kg. In fact, most women want to look slim and thin because they think that being thin will make them happy, successful and popular. Especially if you see the 'body' slim celebrities (actually more correct to say skinny-skinny-no with) so if any models wearing see fit and appropriate. Meanwhile, if your body fat, wear whatever feels like I'm wearing a sack of flour. Finally, the environment also affects. The more often teased 'fat' then intensified his diet. It is not surprising that someone with body dissatisfaction will develop problems with eating disorders.
Adolescents with eating disorders like the above have a problem with imagenya body. That is, they already have a mind set (which already ter'patri thinking 'in the brain) that their bodies are not ideal. They perceive her body fat, a lot of fat here and there, not sexy and others are essentially not pleasant to look at and not as interesting as other people's bodies. Due to the already entrenched thinking this, a teenager will always see their body fat was impressed when in fact their weight actually went down until eventually they become very thin. They will be haunted by feelings of guilt when they eat a lot because it will lead to weight increase.

Problems "body" was eventually cause adolescents to be insecure and difficult to accept her condition. They assume that confidence will grow if they also have the perfect body (perfect here is thin).


Is the resulting impacts?
Some people with anorexia and bulimia to lose weight between 25-50% of their body weight. If this disorder, both anorexia and bulimia are not immediately handled, it can impact both physical problems and psychological serious, even the worst cases can lead to death.

Physical impacts of their commonly occurs in:
- Loss of appetite, so do not want to consume any food
- Wound on the throat and digestive tract infections due to too often regurgitate food
- Weak, not powerful
- Difficulty concentrating
- Menstrual disorders
- Death
Physical impacts also indirectly affect one's mental condition, so the psychological problems that arise in them are:
- Feelings of worthlessness
- Sensitive, irritable, easily angered
- It's easy to feel guilty
- Lose interest in interacting with others
- Not confident, awkwardly dealing with the crowds
- Tend to lie to cover up eating behavior

- Depression (sadness continued)
Physical and psychological impacts experienced by people with eating disorders is of course not be ignored. They need immediate help from psychologists, doctors, nutritionists, and of course the parents to recover the problem in order not to bring a more serious impact anymore, which is death.

How to Get the Ideal Body?
We need to examine what it means to go back into shape. Does having a skinny body, slim or sexy by the public image? I do not think there is more ideal than having a HEALTHY body. Why thin, slim and sexy when in fact we torture ourselves and end up sick. However, be better if we finally pamper ourselves with a variety of food until the end of our excess weight, and even high risk for disease. Therefore, better manage a balanced diet in order to achieve the ideal body (ie: healthy).


If teenagers want to get a healthy body (thin but still fit or fat, but still lively and fresh), then there are some things you can do:

- Consultation with a doctor or nutritionist to get a balanced diet
- Regular exercise

- Not consume drugs that do not need (such as: drug / herbal slimming, sleeping pills, drugs, etc.)
- Reduce spare time (unemployed) and increase the activity of the brain requires hard work and physical (eg: exercise martial art, dance, photography, drama, etc.)
