Mia Tips
Need Purging tips? Heres one: DONT START!!! Most anorexics purge sooner or later(By binging, then panicing and getting rid of it.) It is NOT a good habit to get into. The things that come from it can and WILL happen to you if you start. It is an addicting habit and people die from it. Some of the health effects of purging are:
* Irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest, death
* Kidney damage, death
* Liver damage (made worse by substance abuse), death
* Destruction of teeth, rupture of esophagus, loss of muscle mass
* Disruption of menstrual cycle, infertility (see below)
* Stunted growth due to undernutrition. Even after recovery and weight restoration, person may not catch up to expected normal height.
* Weakened immune system
* Icy hands and feet
* Swollen glands in neck; stones in salivary duct. "Chipmunk cheeks."
* Excess hair on face, arms, and body.
* Dry, blotchy skin that has an unhealthy gray or yellow cast
* Anemia, malnutrition. Disruption of body's fluid/mineral balance
* Fainting spells, seizures, sleep disruption, bad dreams, mental fuzziness
* Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), including shakiness, anxiety, restlessness, and a pervasive itchy sensation all over the body
* Permanent loss of bone mass, fractures and lifelong problems
* If binge eating disorder leads to obesity, add the following:
* Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
* Increased risk of bowel, breast, and reproductive cancers
* Increased risk of diabetes
* Arthritic damage to joints
After reading this list of health effects, hopefully people wanting to start bulimia will reconsider. I've only been doing it a short while and i've got: yellowed teeth, bloating, swollen glands, constant headaches, and a HEART MURMUR. This is a disease that kills. It may seem logical at first, or a "way out" after a binge, but its not. And it is addicting. I can promise, if you start, you will NOT be able to stop!
