Bulimia
There's a difference between anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Those who are anorexic never binge eat, and those who are bulimic do. That's the main difference. The methods used to lose weight are very similar. While an anorexic will never eat enough, a bulimic almost always eats enough, and very often eats far too much.
Eating binges are followed by purging. Self-induced vomiting is common, and so is the overuse of diuretics and laxatives. Both anorexics and bulimics use excessive enemas to effect weight control or weight loss. Compulsive and extreme exercising is also common to both bulimics and anorexics.
Most people think that a person who has bulimia goes on an eating binge because of extreme hunger, but that's not the case. Hunger has nothing to do with the eating binge. Depression, stress, or self-esteem issues are the causes of binge eating. The bulimic who engages in a binge-eating episode feels out of control during the episode; but just after the episode, a sense of supreme calmness emerges. The calmness doesn't last long. Right on the heels of calmness comes a feeling of self-loathing, which prompts the use of extreme purging methods.
This binge eating/extreme purging cycle continues. Women (and it's almost always women) who are bulimic are usually of normal weight. They look perfectly normal, and some of them could even be slightly overweight. They are most often very high achievers and often hold high-powered, highly visible jobs.
The binging and purging that defines bulimia is hard to spot. Both are done in secret and behind closed doors.
The consequences of undiagnosed and untreated bulimia are serious. Tooth enamel will be lost, cavities will increase, and swelling and soreness of the
saliva glands is a given. It gets worse. Stomach ulcers, ruptures, and even heart attack and death are very real possibilities.
BONUS : Buying Your Home Exercise Equipment
Home exercise equipment allows you to work out in the privacy of your own home on your schedule whenever you choose. For many people, this is the key to fitting exercise into their daily routine. Many gyms dont operate on everyones schedule and some might find it difficult to get to the gym in their busy day. Having a piece of equipment waiting at home is a good way to make sure that you get a good workout in every single day.
Some home exercise equipment can be used as a backup exercise method for those days when you just cant get out to do your workout. If you are a jogger and it is pouring rain outside, you might use that as your excuse for skipping your daily run. One skipped run will quickly become another and then another and before you know it, its been months since you went out on your run. Having a treadmill in the house will remove that excuse and give you a place to get in your run even when the weather is not agreeing with you.
A gym is a wonderful place to get a good workout for many people, but there are times when you dont want to deal with a crowded gym and stand in line to use the machine that you want. Home exercise equipment allows you to avoid all of the hassle that goes along with the gym.
It is also much more private than the gym. If you are a beginner to exercise, the last thing that you want to do is show a room full of people how out of shape you are. Working out at home can restore your dignity where you can watch yourself progress over time without judgment from anyone else.
Choose the home exercise equipment that you are sure you are going to use. There are always people who buy the exercise machines with the best intentions and then never set foot on them again after the first few weeks. You must be committed to using the equipment if it is going to work for you.
A home gym is much more cost effective than a gym membership as well. When you buy your home exercise equipment, the purchase is only made once, in a gym, the price is paid over and over again through your gym membership. If you are on a budget, the cost of a piece of exercise equipment is a much better investment than a gym membership.
Take some time to choose the piece of home exercise equipment that you are sure to use for a long time. Dont let your equipment become a clothes hanger and actually get the health benefits that can be gained from a good workout schedule. You will have the option to choose the time that you want to work out which is a tremendous benefit for your schedule. And your family can use the equipment as well, making it a much more cost effective investment.
