Couple of month’s back I had seen a lovely dress on a manikin, I stood staring at the outfit for a while and then decided to walk away telling myself…. “ I could never carry that thing off”.
I ve been on all kinds of diet, some that I invented and some borrowed from others, none of them actually worked ... My list of excuses include (a) I love junk food and I just cant seem to give that up (b) EXERCISE!! I hate to wake up early (c) Gym’s too crowded in the evenings (d) I don’t like people staring at me while I am burning my calories (Nobody actually stares, my imagination just runs wild).
I don’t want to be thin I want to be skinny that was my motto. Therefore I adopted a technique…I ate like a pig and then threw up whatever I had eaten the very next moment. This habit went on for sometime, until I realized that I was slowly becoming a victim of bulimia.
What is bulimia? Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by rapid consumption of food in one sitting followed by puking. The most marked effects of bulimia
- Frequent vomiting brings up stomach acids into the mouth, eroding teeth’s enamel.
Immunity system gets damaged.
Causes gastric ulcers.
Broken blood vessels in the eyes
Weakness and dizziness
It affects the cardio-vascular system that would be irregular heartbeats, possible heart blocks, and broken small blood vessels.
Electrolyte imbalance, which can lead to death
What was I thinking!!! I was petrified after reading an article on Bulimia, there are so many who happen to be victims of this dangerous disease… Eat Healthy, Exercise and change those negative opinions about your body, that’s the only way to remain in shape…I want to share this message written by Audrey Hepburn
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run its fingers through it once a day.
