I also think binging/restricting/purging is a form of self-harm and self-punishment. Diets and athletics do typically trigger Bulimia Nervosa (or other EDs). However, according to research, origins typically specific to Bulimia are depression and family relationships (often credited to the mother-daughter relationship).
I totally agree. Sometimes, the disordered eating is just a kind of self-torture (like cutting) - it can have little or nothing to do with weight/body shape.
There was an athlete that I looked up to she wasn't popular but she was popular for our tale and she said they're doing this stuff does not help it only makes you sicker she goes and does not take away the fat it takes awayThe water weight and she goes I am deeply devastated that the media and news outlets are pushing this on the young girls she's yes I train hard and I work hard She goes but I also am allowed to have ice cream and candy it's not as much as somebody else but she told the class that if her trainer found out she was doing this he'd And get her help yes he told us though it was he was hard on her but he wasn't a p****
Much respect to anyone who has been able to beat this addiction! I suffer from addiction but nothing that involves food. Everything I'm addicted to, I can avoid seeing/being around the majority of the time. I can't imagine how hard it is to overcome an addiction to something you literally need to survive.
Had it 18 years and it's just absolutely impossible to beat, consistent relapse
It never goes away. But you learn how not to do it and get thru each day like an addict. It's an addiction. Embarrassing and horrible.
Essen ist kein Stoff, den man vermeiden kann. Ich habe seit 40 Jahren Anorexie/Bulimie.
I completely beat anorexia 36 years ago. I had to be willing to gain weight and slightly overshoot my natural body weight to recover. I got into female bodybuilding in around 1993. By doing so, I had to eat a LOT of calories to avoid weight LOSS. My body composition completely changed. I'm small, but very heavy for my size. Bodybuilding saved my life.
@@teresahunt5521 Glückwunsch. Das erfordert einen eisernen Willen. Gibt es denn nie in schwachen Momenten den Wunsch, wieder mager zu sein?
Did she say 50,000 calories in a 2 hour period? I bet the winner of the Nathan's hot dog eating contest couldn't even do that.
That’s around 21 entire large pizza’s, I believe the 50,000 measurement was just a cap/ceiling on the amount of calories consumed among most sufferers.
That’s what I thought... I binge on maybe 4,000-5,000.. it’s not possible to have 50k in a 2 hour period though imo. Binging is hell. I still binge and purge unfortunately..I wish I never discovered purging accidentally.
In extreme times I was able to binge on 10.000 calories in 30 minutes, maybe cause I put a large amounts of sauces like mayo or oil on my binge foods when I was very underweight. But then I definitely had to purge. (TW) It's nearly possible if u purge in between.
That's so dangerous, I heard once of a girl with bulimia, her stomach ruptured and she blef to death in the floor of her toilet not beeing able to get help. It must have been a horrifying death (the panic she must have felt her last moments), so think about this to not eat more than your stomach can handle unless you want to experience something like this.
@@GunsNRoses1123 I always think about that when I binge, I’m so terrified of rupturing my stomach
I'm 52 years old I had anorexia and a binge eating I lost all my teeth I got scoliosis degenerative arthritis I'm just now learning how to eat I feel fat but it's okay
thank you for sharing your story. please continue to eat the right amount of food that your body needs. much love ❤️
I'm 53 in December I have had anorexia bulimia since 15 just learning to eat to don't give up
@@kathleendowner6506 I have been anorexia and bulimia free for over four years, I over eat at time but I keep it. No matter what I over eat I remind myself keep it down cause it still has some sort of nutrients your body needs.
It's so hard but know you are not alone.
I’ve never had bulimia but this is so sad. Praying for these people.
I kicked anorexia's butt in 1986. Bodybuilding saved my life.
4:34 side note: bring back the 80s dynamic stretching!! It works great if done correctly!
I just binged getting ready to purge now ugh 😩
😞
It’s tough I do that and drink then purge it out oh man it’s a never ending cycle
Me rn
People took me more serious when I was at my thinnest weight of 120…but at the same time my weight for my height was still considered overweight. I’m 5’3”
I was only taken seriously when I was at my lowest too. Now that my weight has reached normal no one seems to care.
I can't believe you were considered overweight at 120, that's thin. But also, I understand. I literally had to be an underweight BMI before anyone gave a fuck, even when I was binging and purging several times a day no-one cared.
The only thing that bothers me with this video is that they don’t even mention men or boys. They make it seem like only women get eating disorders....
Siren Lucy true
its a very old video looks like. back then, women were thought to believe the only ones effected by an eating disorder
This is from 1986. Back then it was thought that only women get EDs.
True but look at the beginning. 1986! It's already almost surprising to me it was talked about that openly and with such termes as binge purge that are still used today for diagnosis etc..
my obsession :(
Mark Zan Fucking idiot. You should go first
Do you know what I dreamed about last night? Food. That's right. Food. God-damned fudge pouring over tender, sweet coconut mounds like a volcano exploding!💕
I have OFSED/EDNOS and the binge aspect is worse than the restricting. Worse for me is that I'm emetophobic so can't be sick. Those of you that binge - does anyone else only do it with certain foods? I love chocolate and sweet things but I have certain types that I eat in moderation, that I enjoy, that I consider a treat. Then other types that may have well have never been packaged they're gone so fast.
I too was an emetophobic in my teens and 20s! So I feel you for the fear to purge. It probably stopped my from bulimia. Therefore, I was a restricter and from 20 yo to 30 I “yo yo-ed” between 100lbs. to 175lbs. Now, at 41 yo, I just learned how to maintain my weight with nutrition education and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I still have a weakness for all things sweet; like you chocolate, along with sugary cereals, snack cakes, frosting in the container (if it was full of sugar and in the pantry, I ate it). Just now I’m finally admitting to myself I probably had a diagnosable ED, peaking at 22 when I ate 400 calories a day. If I could go back, I would have taken care of myself, stopped worrying about what people thought of me, and constantly treated my mental health (another catalyst for my ED).
@@Shelbyville_TN_lover bless you. Thank you for replying x
@@gemmi1 you’re welcome. You too 😁
In 1989, it was the Freshman 10. When I was an undergrad (2004), it was the freshman 15. What is it now? The Freshman 60?
Literally thought the exact same thing when I heard her say that, lol.
Lol
It’s still the freshman 15 lol - current undergrad student
I blame the highly palatable foods/ fake foods they engineered to make us addicted on why these days people are bigger / gain weight easier.
More like -15 in todays economy Also, along with food being extremely expensive here… it’s also due to the fact everything on and around campus is walkable (grocery stores, coffee shops, medical centers, gyms, clothing stores, you name it) so no one really cares to drive much around here. Btw, yes I’m American, North Carolina to be exact, but everyone at my university I go to tends to stay the same weight or loose a ton)
To all you youngsters born after the 80's these were different times. We hadn't figured out how to tame really frizzy hair yet. We were basically cave beasts.
Well now In 2024, we know frizzy hair” isn’t really a texture, it’s just brushed out curly hair 😭
I'm 51 now and I've been dealing with this since 1984 I need help I'm fat 😩
What the fuck 😭
i just workout cos im scared of being sick lol
What about stupid amount of little calories. Anorexia subtype
Right! There are some folks who eat just a normal amount or even less than normal, but still purge. It's complicated...
