Loss of control over nutrition is a psychological disease called "bulimia." Most often it affects people who are exhausting their body with various diets. After several weeks of starvation, they break up and begin to eat in uncontrolled quantities. And then, in order to get rid of the gained kilos, drink laxatives, induce vomiting or exhaust the body with exorbitant physical loads. This disease can lead to malfunctions in the nervous and cardiovascular system, impaired immunity, anemia, vitamin deficiency and metabolic disorders.
How to cope with bulimia yourself?
When bulimia is detected, it is necessary to start treatment immediately, preferably with the help of specialists. If you decide to treat bulimia yourself, you need to understand that such treatment requires an integrated approach. If the disease has reached a neglected stage, treatment will be carried out only in a hospital under the constant supervision of doctors and communication with a psychologist can not be avoided.
To understand how you can fight bulimia yourself, you need to adhere to some rules. Firstly, it is worth writing a timetable for eating. Secondly, you need to stop sharing food for "good" and "bad." If you want some high-calorie food, you can eat it, but only in small quantities. Thirdly, it is important not to forget about breakfast. You can start the day with muesli and fruits.
When asked how to treat bulimia alone, there is no single answer. But in addition to complying with the above rules, you need to regularly charge yourself with positive emotions and live a full life. Meetings with friends, needlework, dancing, sports or any other business that can bring joy and distraction from food are perfect.
