Reply To: Eating Disorders in the Jewish community

Obviously not ALL guys and girls who are slim have an eating disorder, I’m simply referring to those who are suffering. By the way you are 100% right about the clothing being made”bigger” they are accommodating the “growing” americans. Anorexia, Bulimia, and Bingeing, or individuals who are mimicking such mental diseases, do it for looks, to fit in, and you are correct when you say, emotional issues, that’s usually where it originates from. I’ve seen people do it because they were being made fun of because of their size, I’ve seen women say to girls as young as 11 to be careful how much they eat, I’ve seen the people who are depressed and can’t help but have one of these problems, or depressed and think that by starving themselves to a malnourished state people will like them more and they will feel happier. It’s so sad how much it goes unnoticed, until it’s too late…
