A betegség túlélője lerántja a leplet: a soványság és az anorexia nem mindig jár együtt

Ha meghalljuk az anorexia szót, a legtöbbünknek valószínűleg rögtön csontsovány, beesett arcú lányok ugranak be, holott valójában rengeteg más formában is jelentkezhet a betegség. Igaz, általában a legdrasztikusabb és egyben leglátványosabb áldozatokat dobja fel az internet, a valóságban jóval több embert érint a betegség, gyakran olyanokat is, akikről nem gondolnánk.

Láttad már? Ez a testépítő 11 kg-ot hízott és most érzi magát igazán jól!

"Nem mindig az ijesztően sovány lányok küzdenek evészavarral. Sőt, az is előfordulhat, hogy nem az anorexiás lány a legvékonyabb a szobában, ahol vagytok. Azonban a külső nem mindig mutatja meg, mi történik belül" - árulta el a lány

But what you see on the outside doesn't always translate to what is going on inside. . . The minute I saw the photo on the left I said #34;oh, that was me after my eating disorder.#34; Well that's not true. That's not even kind of true. Yes, this picture was taken AFTER I started eating again... probably the year after... but I was very much IN my eating disorder. I had gone through a 4ish month period of starving myself and surviving solely on caffeine and crackers. Then, I started eating again and could. not. stop. I felt awful. None of the things that spurred my starvation period had been solved, discovered, or discussed and I began to use food to fill a hole. So not only was I unhappy without really knowing it, BUT I was gaining weight which at the time was my worst nightmare. And I was doing anything I could to lose it again. . . I wish I could tell you that I solved it; that I found a solution and started to look and feel great VERY quickly... but that's just not true. The photo on the left was taken in 2005. Up until 2016, I was trying to get back to the weight I was during my 4 month starvation period. 11 YEARS! 11 years of having a terrible relationship with food, my body, and my mind. But it isn't like that now! I FINALLY started to develop a healthy relationship with food, which is why i wrote this. Because I really hope it doesn't take you 11 years to start to feel better. . . In 2016, a few things happened. I got serious about my career and realized that I was good at what I did. Having that, contributed to my self worth and self esteem. I stopped drinking and using alcohol as a bandaid. I was finally free to find things that brought me joy. I got back to moving, getting stronger, amp; feeling better. Food became an ally in my life. And now, here I am feeling and looking better than I ever have. AND I'M SO VERY GRATEFUL. . . Self love is WORK. I wish I could tell you otherwise, but I can't. There's no quick fix or simple solution. The inside has to be good before the outside will be anything you can love. Carissa S (@carissasweatstagram) által megosztott bejegyzés, 2017.

Seligman egy képet posztolt, amin egymás mellé vágott egy 2005-ös és egy jelenlegi fotót. A baloldalin a depressziós időszak közepén, 4 hónap koplalás után látható. A lány ekkoriban csak kávén és ropin élt, hiszen bármikor enni kezdett, úgy érezte, nem tud leállni. Összesen 11 éven keresztül szenvedett az anorexiától, majd egy gyökeres életmódváltás mentette meg. Most, hogy az egészséges életmód és a sport elkötelezett híve lett, ismét jól érzi magát a bőrében, és békét tudott kötni önmagával.

Women should have curves. . Skinny is in . . You're going to waste away. . What else do you have to lose? . . oh, you don't eat carbs. . She won't eat that . . You're obsessed . . There's more to life than fitness #8226; #8226; Ever heard any of these things? If you've put focus on your health and fitness, I bet you have. So have I. Soooo have I. And you know what? I think it's all noise, background noise. Are you healthier? Happier? A better you? Then just keep going babe. If you're happy, healthy, and whole then I think you're doing it right. #8226; #8226; I started my 29th year with one goal: make this the healthiest year of my 20s. I'm happier than I have ever been. I'm more confident than I have ever been, AND I finally know that my own opinion of me matters more than any other. Carissa S (@carissasweatstagram) által megosztott bejegyzés, 2017.
