What effects do eating disorders have on the body? How might an eating disorder affect a person’s family and social life? How could it affect school?

Eating disorders often exist as the antithesis to relationships, consuming an individual with negative thoughts and behaviors that only garner destruction.  As an eating disorder develops and progresses further, it often takes the place of wholesome relationships that may have once existed in one’s life.  Typically, as an eating disorder grows stronger within a person, relationships with family members and loved ones become strained and gradually diminish.

On the outside, it may appear that an eating disorder is defined by a preoccupation with weight loss and food, but this is simply the tip of the iceberg.  Underneath the portrait of perfectionism that is carefully crafted by an eating disorder sufferer lies insurmountable pain and anguish.  Eating disorders are survival mechanisms, coping strategies for dealing with underlying issues that may be overwhelmingly difficult to face.  When the forefront of one’s attention is focused on food, weight loss or attaining the “perfect body”, one achieves a temporary feeling of control.  When circumstances in a person’s life become chaotic and muddled, an eating disorder can develop as a means of staying afloat in drowning waters.
