2. Eating disorder is very popular among teens because
people began to notice their body around their teens.
This concern can grow into an obsession that can
become an eating disorder. Eating disorders such as
anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa cause dramatic
weight fluctuation which interfere with normal daily
life, and damage vital body functions (Wilson, Grilo &
Vitousek, 2007). A number of studies have identified
weight concerns influence eating disorders. To better
understand the link between body dissatisfaction and
eating disorder symptomatology, additional research
need to be done.
3. It is a diet that never ends which is
taken to the extreme.
It is a negative thoughts and feelings
about body weight and food and eating
habits that disrupt normal body
function and daily activity.
4. Anorexia Nervosa
People that have a real fear of weight gain and a
distorted view of their body size and shape. As a
result, they can't maintain a normal body weight
(Tylka, 2004).
Bulimia Nervosa
People that restrict their food intake by dieting, fasting, or
excessive exercise (Tylka, 2004). They hardly eat at all and
the small amount of food they do eat becomes an
obsession.
5. Weight concerns
Physical appearance
Societal norms link beauty, success,
and happiness
Peer Pressure
Weight and body shape play a role in most eating disorders; therefore, weight concerns
influence the development of eating disorder (Shisslak, Crago, Neal & Swain, 1987).
Societal norms link beauty, success, and happiness to a thin body shape produce pressure
to maintain a slender physique that can lead to the development of excessive dieting and
other unhealthy weight regulation practices (Killen et, al., 1996).
6. Study
Those that are concerned how they look to others and those who
perceive the thin-ideal societal stereotyped were tested.
Result
those that are concerned how they look to others have less regards for
their bodies, they are not likely to use weight control techniques that
are harmful to attempt to lose weight. Those with high level of body
dissatisfaction due to society norms are more likely to use harmful
weight control techniques.
A study was conducted to test whether poor impulse regulation and social insecurity intensify the
relation between body dissatisfaction and eating disorder symptomalotology (Tylka, 2004). Those that
are concerned how they look to others and those who perceive the thin-ideal societal stereotyped were
tested. The result show that those that are concerned how they look to others have less regards for their
bodies, they are not likely to use weight control techniques that are harmful to attempt to lose weight
when dissatisfied with their weight and shape.
7. Weight concerns influence the
development of eating disorder.
Additional research need to be done better
understand the link between body
dissatisfaction and eating disorder.
Those who think of their bodies as object by focusing on their outer appearance
rather than internal experiences are more likely to use drastic and harmful
weight control techniques (Tylka, 2004). Therefore, body dissatisfaction
repeatedly has been shown to be a strong disorder across studies. To better
understand the link between body dissatisfaction and eating disorder
symptomatology, additional research need to be done.
