Goodmorning,
Today I would like to draw your attention to behaviours that should make you suspicious
that a person close to you
may suffer from an eating disorder.
The most common behavioural trend of people suffering from an eating disorder is the continuous preocupation with the shape and
the weight of their body,
high dependence with the scale,
and high levels of starvation
accompanied with extended weight loss
beyond the norms.
All these are serious signs that should worry you.
Behaviours such as repeated episodes of overeating
and then the use of various methods of bowl cleansing such as
provocation to vomit,
or
use of laxatives, diet pills, extreme diets
and high physical activity,
Excessive preocupation with the preparation of meals
and feeding of family members
without the individual him/herself trying the food.
These are some of the behaviours
that should suspect you
that an individual is suffering from an eating disorder
and it would be advisable to suggest
that they seek professional help. Thank you
