Effects Of Anorexia

In America today, thinness is viewed as healthiness.

When you have an accurate glance, you realize the medias claims that to make it in life, to become successful and famous, you have to be, you have to look like the skinny stars posing for the tabloids.

Many young women fall into this illusion trap. In order to appear beautiful, according to the actual medias’ norms, they do everything to loose weight in a abusing ways. 

Abusing ways that gradually make them fall into anorexia. 

There are many short-term effects of anorexia that can be easily noticed. If you are not eating, you do not give your body the energy to go about day-to-day activities. 
The effects of anorexia can include lethargy, depression, inability to focus and a lack of physical strength. 

People who are anorexic may look drawn and haggard all the time, even if they have had a full nights sleep. 
Another effect of anorexia is moodiness. Because their bodies are unable to stabilize their blood sugar levels, anorexics are subject to frequent mood swings. 

The long-term effects of anorexia, however, are much more dangerous. Eventually, after being in starvation mode for long enough, the body starts to consume itself. Muscle tissues will be broken down, organs will start to fail, and the digestive track will start to atrophy.
These anorexia’s effects are not just uncomfortable, they can be fatal. Sometimes, the girls who die from anorexia are the most glamorous and popular girls. No one knows what is going on until it is too late. 

Basically, a bad enough anorexic will have the same appearance patterns as a junkie, being moody and incredibly thin.

Many psychological effects and prints always will be part of the life of women suffering of anorexia. Even if they had the chance to get out of this hell.

Through their whole lives, they will have a false image of themselves.
The main problem is the reality distortion.

The obsession of thinking that they are too fat for so much time will always pursuit them. And no matter how thin they get, it cannot be possibly be thin enough, because their vision of themselves is altered by their fixation to "be beautifully skinny". 

They look in the mirror and see a fat ugly blob staring back at them.
Anorexia can make it impossible for girls to develop a healthy body image. Even if they are able to recover from the anorexia, a lack of self-confidence often follows these girls to their graves.

So, all of us has to be vigilant.
