As we know girls suffer more from MENTAL HEALTH problems than the boys and they may more likely to get an Anxiety disorder, Depression or EATING DISORDER.

It is good to think about how important body shapes and body weight are for you but too much focus on body weight and shape can result in an EATING DISORDER.

The three most common eating disorders are :

1.     ANOREXIA NERVOSA

2.     BULIMIA NERVOSA

3.     BINGE EATING DISORDER

ANOREXIA NERVOSA: When you have ANOREXIA ,

-       you eat so little that your weight becomes too low.

-       You have an extreme fear of gaining weight or becoming fat.

-       You also have a distorted image of yourself. This means that you see or feel your body. differently than it really is.

-       When you have anorexia you don’t see that UNDERWEIGHT is harmful.

BULIMIA NERVOSA : When you have BULIMIA ,

-       You have at least one food BINGE once a week over a period of three months.

-       With BULIMIA , you always “UNDO” the food binge by doing VOMOTING or SPORTS.

-       With BULIMIA also , you have a distorted image of yourself.

BINGE EATING DISORDER:

-       Just like Bulimia , you have at least one FOOD BINGE once a week over a period of three months.

-       A binge eating is very much similar to Bulimia Nervosa but in this case you don’t try to “UNDO” the food Binge.
