My issue is eating disorders. I choose this issue because i know alot of people that have or that had an eating disorder. Also I was going through an eating disorder. There was a time that I would not eat. I really care about this issue because a lot of people suffer of this illness. Both women and men suffer of this. I hope to learn more about this and to help people that have this problem. This is important to me because people don’t choose to have an eating disorder, when they open their eyes they already have an eating disorder. And I know people that have this or that had this and I seen how people suffer of this illness. This is important because, this is not something that have to do with race or from the place you are from or the culture that you practice. This is was to do with people all over the world and with what people feel. This problem would be the same to everyone. I had an experience with this were it came a point that I would not eat anything so that i would not be fat. That was because I had my sweet 15 and i wanted the dress to fit me and I though that is the dress did not fit me I would not be pretty and my mom always told me that a big reason on being pretty was being skinny. And I had always that mind set with me, and i really wanted to be skinny that i would do anything and when my sweet 15 came i did felt pretty but then i realize what i had done to myself. I want to help people that feel the same ways as me.
Introduction
The issue is Eating disorders. I chose this issue because I find it interesting and I know many factors play a role into having any eating disorders. As a small girl when I was about 4 years old. My mom would always tell me to eat the food, but I just didn't like it. I was very picky with food and I barely ate. I would vomit out the food My mom would beg me to eat, but it didn't work therefore she took action. She took me to the doctor, which gave me some vitamins. Although she didn't result in me. As years went by I enjoyed eating food. By the time I reached 8 I was average. Two years later I had a pot belly. That was when I became concerned about my body. My family would tease me about my pot belly. Sometimes I would tell my mom, "well this is what you wanted, you wanted me to eat well look now!" Between age 10-14 I would binge, overeat until my body no longer retained anymore food, until I felt I was going to explode. Without my family noticing I would go to the bathroom and purge. I have to say it worked for me. My pot belly did get flat for the reason I would purge and also exercise. Once in a while I would binge and purge food because I feared to get fat. Months before my cotillion I wanted to look slim, feel and look good about myself. Therefore, I ate a little bit to look good on my dress. Today I still overeat but I no longer purge, and I must admit I gained 10 pounds in 2 months. From about February 20-April 21 . Now I am working on my weight and body fat. I am now controlling my compulsive eating, taking my time to eat, eating measured proportions, watching out what I eat, and eating fruit, and exercising. I know their is a lot people going through one or various eating disorders. I know I haven't been the only one who experienced this disorder. Many people suffer from different types of eating disorders and we need to help them out. This issue has nothing to do from where you come from but from the society your at, and what is around you.
