Have you known anyone with an eating disorder? What was it
like? How did they act? Did you tell somebody? What
treatment did they receive?
If not, how do you think a person with an eating disorder would
act? Would you tell somebody? What kind of treatment could
they receive?
DISCUSSION
1. Why are some people tempted to “starve themselves” to lose
weight?
2. What do people think they may gain by starving?
3. Most anorexics and bulimics are women. Why do you think the
incidence is higher among women?
4. Does our society put pressure on us to be thin?

TREATMENT
1. Determine if your eating habits could be improved. Visit a health
clinic or talk to a nutritionist or dietitian about ways to improve your
diet.
2. If you or someone you know is showing signs of an eating disorder, get
help. If you suspect a friend has an eating disorder, tell him or her
about your concerns. Ask him or her to talk to a counselor or doctor
who knows about eating issues, and offer to go along to the
appointment. Don’t place shame, blame, or guilt on your friend. Let
your friend know you are there for him or her.
3. Talk to someone you can trust (Parent, Friend, Doctor,
Counselor, Teacher, etc…)
