Anorexia and the View of Perfection

Anorexia is an eating disorder in which people don't eat the needed amount of food. They either eat nothing of substance or they eat far less than they need to function properly. Often times, Anorexia is driven by the need to be thin and beautiful. Anorexia is most prevalent in young women. These young women have been bombarded with images of extremely thin models, actresses, and singers their entire lives. They are raised in a culture that praises and rewards women for being thin.

For many women, the degree of thin they are trying to achieve is simply not attainable through healthy means. Anorexia becomes an obsession, and the sufferer can no longer distinguish between appropriate thin and unhealthy thin. Despite how they actually look, when they look in the mirror they see where they could be thinner. They have a distorted view of themselves.

Women suffering from Anorexia need professional help and counseling to overcome their disease. The temptation for an anorexic to starve herself is as strong as the temptation an alcoholic has to drink or a drug addict has to get high. It can be overwhelming. Support from family and friends is also essential to the recovery of anorexia. They need to learn what they look like at an appropriate weight, and they need to learn to like the way they look. If they still see an ugly overweight version of themselves when they look in the mirror, it will only tempt them more to go back to starving themselves.

Sadly, Anorexia can also be able control. In these cases, pushing the anorexic to eat will only result in a battle of wills, and the anorexic will abstain from eating to prove they are in control of the situation. Helping an anorexic recover requires a calm and supportive attitude, regardless of how you may feel about the situation.
