eating disorders

if you think about food and weight constantly you are not alone. younger and younger people are getting eating disorders. Karen Carpenter and Isabelle Caro are 2 famous people who have eating disorders. if you think eating disorders are only for a girls disorder but what you don't know is boys can get them too. something we need to hear is to open up. some warning signs are: 1) leaving the dinner table immediately after to throw up 2) having loud noises to cover up binging and purging 3) covering up the smells like perfume and cologne 4) skipping meals 5) sleeping more 6) looking skeletal or tired 7) missed periods 8) stained teeth 9) esophagus torn no matter what the statistics say the stigma was bad for everyone. no matter what we need to help everyone who happened to have the disorders. the facts: bulimia is more common but is less obvious, younger and younger children (girls and boys) are being affected and men can be affected too. anorexia can be linked to autism. here is a link for more information: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/264666.php
