Pain in the Gutt

We all try our very hardest to keep fit and stay healthy and it ends up being so hard! If we exercise too much we over do it and start to ache, but then if we dont do it enough we get a body we're unhappy with. There are many important issues to do with wanting that great looking body, anorexia is one of them. Anorexia is a disorder many people come across as they are too afraid to gain weight so they stop eating or eat very small portions. The average calorie intake of a person with anorexia nervosa is 600-800 calories per day, but there are extreme cases of complete self-starvation. Some people believe anorexia is a result with being obsessed with your figure.
Anorexia is closely related to bulimia which is also an eating disroder. Those who suffer from bulimia  restrain of food intake for a period of time followed by an over intake or binging period that results in feelings of guilt and low self-esteem. To over come this feeling of guilt they begin defensive vomitting some times called purging.

Anorexia and bulimia are both very serious and dangerous eating disorders which can result in hospital treatment.
We see many celebs and models in magazines literally dying to be thin whcih young girls then follow and look up to. Role models should inspire girls to be happy with the body they have not to try and be unhealthily skinny.
