There are alot of reasons why someone might develop an eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. Some reasons people have an eating disorder is because they use it as a coping mechanism or a way to control their life. Other reasons might include the people thinking they are too fat. I know from firsthand experience with eating disorders that there can be many very different reasons. You see, Ive been suffering from an eating disorder for the past 2 years and I have not been through any treatment for it. Some reasons that I developed anorexia and bulimia is: * I wanted control over something in my life * I use it as a coping mechanism and as a way to block out emotions and feelings that I just dont want to feel * Perfectionism is also a reason * I think Im too fat. (I weigh 100 pounds and am Only 5 feet. My weight is going down more and more each day) * Depression * and just too much stress If you ever feel like you might have an eating disorder, please, get help. Having an eating disorder is one of the hardest things that you will ever experience, and also might be the last thing you experience if it progresses too far.
