what we put our physical bodies through is quite frightening and i think eventually it catches up with you. lately, i have noticed my body slow down. no, this is not a good thing for a 26 year old. really it is the wake up call of my body is not going to be able maintain the way i have been.
i watched 'embarrassing fat bodies' as crazy it may seem, it was like i was watching myself on tv....that is how i feel and how i see myself. that apparently is my body dysmorphia, deluding me to not eat and not push myself. however, the rational part of me knows this is very wrong.this is very frustrating and confusing!
i often look at people who are too thin and i do not find it attractive at all. i don't know why society has become so obsessed about thinness, and why thinness seems to equal beauty . listening to dr christian and dr dawn on 'embarrassing fat bodies' talk about the problems obesity causes to the body- diabetes, heart disease, poor circulation and so on, it dawned on me how the media very rarely talks about the harm being underweight has on the physical body.
poor circulation, heart problems, electrolyte imbalance, brittle bones, osteoporosis, and even premature death. anorexia nervosa has the highest number of fatalities out of any other mental illness- predominately, this is through suicide or heart attacks. maybe it is time for a programme titled 'embarrassing thin bodies'
thinness does not equal health or happiness
