I made this slide show this last summer, and……. i just wanted to put it back on.

If you or someone you know has anorexia or bulimia, get help. Eating disorders can be dangerous, and willpower alone is not enough to overcome them. Treatment can help a person with an eating disorder feel better and be healthier.

Anorexia usually starts in the teen years. Early treatment can be very effective. But, if not treated early, anorexia can become a lifelong problem. Untreated anorexia can lead to starvation and serious health problems, such as bone thinning (osteoporosis), kidney damage, and heart problems. Some people die from these problems.

People who have bulimia may binge because food gives them a feeling of comfort. But eating too much makes them feel out of control. After they binge, they feel ashamed, guilty, and afraid of gaining weight. This causes them to purge.
