Many people go through challenges they don't want to admit to. One well-known, extreme challenge women go through is eating disorders. This problem is a serious psychological condition where the person is obessesed with food, dieting and body imaging.
The media has such a dramatic impact on women to the point where the slightest body image comment can effect their idea of what the ideal body should be; that's what they want for themselves. This may lead to eating disorders. Some women never realize they have an eating disorder until someone confronts them about it. Others hide it from the people they love and care about dearly.
"I can't remember exactly what age I was the first time I purged. All I know is I was young. I'm 27 now and I don't think I can ever stop. I'm so secretive about it that my boyfriend of 5 years, who I have lived with for most of that time, doesn't even know."
There are different ways to treat eating disorders, depending on what type of disorder it is. Not only is eating disorders a bad way to live, but another downside to them is that they can take years to get rid of and over come.
