Distorted Body Image Causes Eating Disorders
A distorted body image is what an anorexic’s mind perceives when he/she looks into the mirror! You may be weighing just 90 lbs, but a distorted body image is going to make you look really plumpish in the mirror!
Women, since ages, have been obsessed with their body images and looks. You have heard about the queen in the Brothers Grimm fairytale, Snow White and Seven Dwarfs asking “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” haven’t you, till one fine morning the mirror declared “ Snow White is the fairest of them all” ?
A distorted body image is the outcome of an imbalanced mind. Anorexics and the bulimics are so very pathologically obsessed about media-hyped body statistics that their imbalanced minds result in their seeing a distorted body image in the mirror.
