Anorexia: 9 Symptoms Of A Warped Body Image
Anorexia is no laughing matter. It is a very serious condition that is potentially life threatening. It is our jobs as parents to spot the symptoms of anorexia as soon as possible in order to seek out proper medical help before it is too late. The more time that we procrastinate the harder it is to cure
There are two general types of indicators of anorexia: bizarre eating habits and a warped sense of their body image.
Some common examples of bizarre eating habits that are indicative of anorexia are chewing food and then spitting it out, gorging and then purging, or only eating low fat food. In this article you I will list 9 symptoms of warped sense of their body that strongly suggest anorexia.
1. Even though they are within or even below the optimal weight for their height they constantly complain about their weight.
2. They constantly compare their figures to other people’s figures, especially to pictures of models in magazines.
3. They are obsessed with looking at glamour magazines.
4. Even when they are “all skin and bones” they mention that they are fat.
5. They constantly talk about weight and being thin. The subject of weight and body figure engulfs their whole being.
6. They excersice/workout madly.
7. Their skin becomes dry and yellow.
8. They are constantly cold.
9. They wear baggy clothing or several layers of clothing (even in the heat) to cover up their bodies.
If you notice these absurd behaviors in your child (or your child’s friends) seek out medical help AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. The quicker that treatment begins, the more effective the treatment will be. Just remember that your child’s life might depend on your expeditiousness.

Anorexia: 6 Signs To Look Out For
Anorexia is very dangerous disease. That’s right, don’t kid yourself; it is not just a stage of growing up but it is a dangerous. It is a condition that cannot be left alone but must be dealt with. National Alliance on Mental Ilness maintains, “Anorexia nervosa is a serious, occasionally chronic, and potentially life-threatening eating disorder…” The earlier this condition is recognized and dealt with the easier it is to treat it and to cure it. In this article I present some of the abnormal eating habits that are signs of someone suffering from anorexia.
1. They CONSTANTLY skip meals. They give excuses like, “Not hungry” or “Already ate”, even though you know that they didn’t eat and that they must be hungry.
2. You find laxatives or diuretics in their school bag or in their drawers. Laxatives and diuretics are sold for people with specific gestural problems. If your doctor didn’t diagnose these problems and you are not aware that your child is suffering from these problems, then be on the alert for more signs of anorexia
3. They binge and then they throw up.
4. They weigh the normal weight for a person of their hight but they ONLY eat low calorie food no matter how hungry they are.
5. They chew their food and then they spit it out.
6. They play with the food on their plate but don’t eat it.
If you notice your child engaging in any of these abnormal behaviors then don’t sit by and do nothing. Contact a professional to guide you on how you can help your daughter. Their life may be dependent on it..

Elderly Parents: 3 Things To Keep In Mind When They Move In.
Lively and vibrant parents become elderly parents. That’s just the way things are. When your elderly parents are having difficulty to live by themselves and you decide that they will live with you there are few things to keep in mind to make it better for them. In this article I will present …… things to keep in mind when your elderly parents move into your house.
Firstly, if possible, don’t go the hero’s route and try to do it alone. Don’t kid yourself; it is very emotionally and physically straining to take care of elderly parents. Keeping them occupied, the endless trips to doctors, and not to mention the difficult and crucial decisions that have to be made are very hard on a person. Therefore if you have siblings nearby who are willing to help, accept their help. Even if they come only once a week, you can use that time to “get away” by yourself, with your spouse, or with your children and catch your breath.
Keep all the siblings updated on what is happening and have them be a part of all major decisions. If not, they might have huge complaints against your decisions (no matter how hard you thought them through)
Secondly, Support their self-sufficiency and encourage them to help you. One of the worst things that there is for low self esteem is for someone to take care of your needs. Whatever your elderly parents are still able to do, DO NOT do it for them. You are not doing them a favor. Let them help you with your daily chores, like folding clothes, and doing the dishes. This will give them a feeling of worthiness and help with their self esteem.
Thirdly, know YOUR limits. If you feel that you are falling apart, either financially, emotionally, or physically it is time to reevaluate the situation. Look for elder care organizations in your community who will advise you of different options that are available to you. If you don’t take care of yourself you, your family, and your elderly parents will all suffer.
It is a very virtuous act to take your elderly parents into your house. Use the tips above for everyone’s benefit.
