Eating Disorders & Your Image

Don Jacobs

What is Eating Disorder?

Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling (1999) describes the effect of eating disorder as follows: “Eating disorders manifest a wide range weight and food issues experienced by both men and women. They symbolize serious emotional and physical problems that can have life-threatening consequences.”

Extreme focus and emphasis on physical image is an important aspect of eating disorders. Emphasis on physical appearance has always been a part of human civilization. Consider those statues, descriptions of the beauty of the body parts, cruelty, ugliness, etc., in real world and in literature. However, to take this emphasis to a disease level is now getting to be a virulent infection all over the world. India is no exception to this.

Your Image is Everything Now!

In today’s world your image seems to be everything. Instead of your image being the last deciding factor when people judge, it’s the first. Your being/soul is not considered anymore. Who you really are does not seem to matter as much as it used to.
