WEIGHT LOSS OUT OF CONTROL
Having never struggled with my weight I guess I must be one of the lucky ones. So many people, especially when they go away to school begin to pack on the pounds. I have always just been lean, as a matter of fact when I was really little they told my mother that I was underweight and I had to drink a special shake twice a day to try and put on some weight and I hated that. I didn't like the way the drinks tasted, I mean they looked like a milk shake, but they definitely didn't taste like one. And I never put on any weight anyway, so eventually my mother just had me stop drinking them. I really feel for those who battle with weight loss though. A girl I met here at school, is one of those people who is constantly on a diet, and she even has tried to lose weight by starvation, and I think now that perhaps she is bulimic, although it is hard to be sure. I know that she continues to lose weight even though she eats a lot at a sitting, and many times she runs to the bathroom right after she eats, and I have often wondered if she is throwing up after eating, but I can't be sure. It just seems that there are so many diet plans available, and even all natural diet pills and stuff, that you would think that there would be a better way. Even now that she seems to have her weight under control she is constantly obsessing about calories and such, and she is always saying how fat she is or how she wishes she looked like this person or that person.
As a person who really has never dealt with this type of issue, I am really not sure how to help her. I am just sure that a person who is dealing with their weight really doesn't want to hear from someone like me who struggles just to eat enough to keep myself from being underweight. I am not sure what to do, but I really think that this girl needs help.
