This website is dedicated to the memory of those who have lost their fight to an eating disorder. Advertise on this site "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fattest one of all?" If you can relate to the above saying, you are not alone. Thousands of women and an increasing number of men look in the mirror everyday and hate what they see. I chose to use the phrase "Mirror, mirror on the wall" because I first heard it used in a fairy tale. Fairy tales are not real, just like the image you see staring back at you in that mirror is not real. When you look in the mirror, you are seeing what your eating disorder wants you to see, you are not seeing the true picture. Eating disorders afflict millions of people, thousands of which will die from them yearly. There is good news though, eating disorders can be beaten. You do not have to be a prisoner to this anymore. You have the power within yourself to beat this and you will. Recovery takes a lot of time and hard work, but in the end it is all worth it. You will finally be free and you will love yourself. When recovery happens you will be able to look in the mirror and say, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all"

Search AAMFT Consumer Update Eating Disorders Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by excessive weight loss through self-starvation and sometimes through purging. Purging includes vomiting, using laxatives, and exercising excessively. Symptoms include: Refusal to maintain a normal weight Intense fear of weight gain Obsessive preoccupation with weight and shape Loss of menstrual periods Distorted body image Bulimia Nervosa Repetitive cycles of bingeing and purging Feeling out of control of food intake Purging after bingeing via self-induced vomiting, laxatives, diet pills, diuretics, excessive exercise, or starvation Obsessive preoccupation with weight and shape In addition, some people may have a mixture of anorexia and bulimic symptoms without qualifying for either diagnosis. They may engage in compulsive overeating or bingeing without purging. Preoccupied and significantly distressed about their eating habits, they may gradually gain weight to the point of obesity. Many people have both symptoms of anorexia and bulimia. Men are most likely to lose weight or to purge by excessively exercising. Eating Disorders "Eat Up" Relationships

Is Health Our Choice? In this urban world we are dependant on each other and generally attempt to live as a cooperative and civil society with a degree of social equity. However most of the population is squeezed between the competition for power and the control of resources which creates tensions and new cultural diseases undermining our health. Tension is a response to life that we call stress and it is created by the nervous system, this tension travels to every atom and particle of the body causing imbalances in the autonomic nervous and endocrine systems. Eight-nine percent (89%) of all ailments are stress-born as blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and asthma are all known as stress-borne diseases, learn more Moses gave us the ten commandments as a formula for social and political harmony, and all religions have gospels of peace and cooperation so that we may live peaceably with less stress, but unfortunately there are no societies able to fully live by this guide and perhaps the greatest disease is the greed and desire to rise above one's fellow man. Within democracies, we cherish the ideal of equal opportunity and freedom, however this is mostly within social classes or casts, and as the rich get richer the numbers of poor increase. In governance, might believes it is right and the policies of profits before people are evident across the globe as water, food and shelter have ceased to be human rights and along with healthcare and education have become commodities instead of tools to create a healthy existence for our entire species and not just a privileged few.

According to the National Eating Disorders Association, the average American woman is 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. The average American model is 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 117 pounds. All too often, society associates being "thin", with "hard-working, beautiful, strong and self-disciplined." On the other hand, being "fat" is associated with being "lazy, ugly, weak and lacking will-power." Because of these harsh critiques, rarely are women completely satisfied with their image. As a result, they often feel great anxiety and pressure to achieve and/or maintain an imaginary appearance. Eating disorders are serious medical problems. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder are all types of eating disorders. Eating disorders frequently develop during adolescence or early adulthood, but can occur during childhood or later in adulthood. Females are more likely than males to develop an eating disorder. Frequently Asked Questions About: Anorexia Nervosa Binge Eating Disorder Bulimia Nervosa Eating disorders are more than just a problem with food. Food is used to feel in control of other feelings that may seem overwhelming. For example, starving is a way for people with anorexia to feel more in control of their lives and to ease tension, anger, and anxiety. Purging and other behaviors to prevent weight gain are ways for people with bulimia to feel more in control of their lives and to ease stress and anxiety.

In many years of work with animals as well as human subjects, researchers have advanced our understanding of the brain and vastly expanded the capability of mental health professionals to diagnose, treat, and prevent mental and brain disorders. Now, in the 1990s, which the President and Congress have declared the "Decade of the Brain," we stand at the threshold of a new era in brain and behavioral sciences. Through research in animals and humans, we will learn even more about mental disorders such as depression, manic-depressive illness, schizophrenia, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. And we will be able to use this knowledge to develop new therapies that can help more people overcome mental illness. The National Institute of Mental Health is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Federal Government's primary agency for biomedical and behavioral research. NIH is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
