You May Have An Eating Disorder And Not Even Know It!

One of the most troubling aspects of our society’s demand for perfection in terms of weight and beauty is the length to which desperate people will go to try to attain the unreachable. Despondency reaches its ultimate peak when otherwise intelligent and prudent individuals resort to the unthinkable.

When it comes to weight loss at any cost, many will turn to laxatives to give them what they perceive to be an extra edge in this sickening game. If I can lose 30 pounds through diet alone, then surely I can lose 50 with the help of a little Ex-Lax, right? What could it hurt since I’ll reach my weight loss goal in record time?

Let me just say this right off the bat–if you are reading this right now and think this is a good way to go about losing weight, then listen to me very carefully. You have an eating disorder that needs immediate medical assistance. See your doctor about it as soon as possible.

It’s a very serious condition called bulimia and I’ve heard from many bulimics in my e-mail box. This subject is so prevalent nowadays that there’s even a Swedish author writing a book about eating disorders to help people who find themselves in this situation.

Because bulimia has sadly become commonplace in modern culture, I thought it would be educational to look at what laxatives do to your body and why it is a myth that they can help you lose weight better and faster. You might want to print this blog post out if you, a friend, or family member is taking laxatives while dieting.
