DISORDERED EATING AND COMPULSIVE EXERCISE Unhealthy or
troublesome eating behavior such as skipping meals, restricting food choices, or bingeing on certain foods.
People can do the same when it comes to exercise.
People with disorders in these areas can’t control or stop the unhealthy behaviors.
Underlying mental or emotional health issues.
Skipping meals- prevent you from eating a well balanced diet. You get hungry and are likely
to eat more later Better choice is to eat a variety
of foods that are lower in calories and substitute with healthier food choices.
Bingeing – eating too much too fast Too much of one food and
little nutritional balance. Over exercising – injury body
and interfere with other aspects of a person’s life
Often people who have an exercise disorder also have an eating disorder.

EATING DISORDERS
Serious illness Must be diagnosed by a health care
professional. Not always associated with wanting to
lose weight. Mental and emotional health problem. Shown through how they eat or act
around food. Can be linked to other things in the
person’s life.
ANOREXIA NERVOSA Extreme fear of
body fat and gaining weight.
Leads to a person restricting calories to such a degree that he or she is starving the body. Even when they are
so underweight and hurting their bodies, they believe that they are still “fat”.
Body dysmorphia Eat foods in small amounts. Weigh their food or count
calories Are usually very thin and
weigh as much as 15% below normal weight.
BULIMIA NERVOSA Concern about weight leads to:
Binging(eating a large amount at once) THEN
Purging (getting ride of the food by vomiting, using a laxative/diuretic, or exercising in excess).
Feel out of control during a binge and then guilty afterward.
Spend a lot of time alone so they can binge and purge in secret.
Often normal weight or only slightly overweight.
BINGE EATING DISORDER Similar to bulimia
nervosa, but the person does not purge after the binge. Eat rapidly until they are
uncomfortably full Eat large amounts of food
when they are not hungry May eat alone due to
embarrassment Guilty and depressed
after over eating. ** someone can have
multiple eating disorders at one time
ASK AND DISCUSS How are eating disorders related to a distorted body
image?
SUMMARY A distorted body
image means a person no longer sees his or her body realistically.
For example, people with anorexia, no matter how thin they become, look in the mirror and still see themselves as being fat
COMPULSIVE EXERCISING Exercise more frequently and
intensely than required for good health.
Exercises to burn off calories, build muscles, or attain a particular body shape.
Preoccupied with body’s appearance, weight, and muscle mass.
May view the body as being too small, frail, or weak, when it’s actually normal or even muscular (muscle dysmorphia).
Exercises even when injured or ill. Defines self worth in terms of physical
fitness or athletic performance.
ASK AND DISCUSS
Which sports and why? Eating disorders are on the rise among
athletes, especially those involved in sports that place great pressure on the athlete to be thin or at a certain weight. Gymnastics, figure skating, wrestling, dancing,
synchronized swimming
Do you think athletes in certain sports are more likely to develop eating disorders or compulsive exercising?
HEALTH CONSEQUENCES There are many
serious healthy consequences of eating disorders
Many of them are caused by poor nutrition not eating enough food eating one type of
food to excess purging the food they
eat.
CONSEQUENCES OF ANOREXIA Highest death rate of any mental health
condition Girls can stop having menstrual periods Drop in heart rate and blood pressure Hair and nails become brittle Anemia (lack of iron) and brittle bones
(lack of calcium) Affect brain function Body can forget how to digest food
(constipation and stomach pain)
CONSEQUENCES OF BULEMIA Acid from vomit wears down tooth
enamel and damages the esophagus. Dehydration.. Leading to kidney damage Loss of minerals (potassium) can lead to
heart failure Swollen cheeks from enlarged glands Knuckles on fingers can be scarred, red,
or have bite marks from making themselves purge
Dependent on laxative in order to have a normal bowel movement.
