All the ways eating disorders can affect your appearance other than weight loss – Revelist (blog)

Mar 14th, 2017

With movies like this years To the Bone and TV shows like last years Binge, Hollywood is opening up the conversation about eating disorders (EDs) to a mainstream audience. And its a conversation we need to be having: some 20 million American women will suffer from an eating disorder in their lifetime.

But too often, this conversation focuses on and occasionally glorifies weight loss. Every poster for a movie about anorexia shows a skeletal female lead; most stock photos for eating disorders show a bony woman with a tape measure around her waist.

The reality of EDs isnt so pretty. Internally, sufferers can develop an abnormally slow heart rate and low blood pressure. They can lose density in their bones, eventually leading to osteoporosis. In extreme cases, sufferers can experience multiple organ failure.

But there are other, notable changes on the outside, too. Thats why Revelist talked with Dr. Stephanie Setliff of the Eating Recovery CenterinDallas, about some of the outward signs of eating disorders that arent extreme weight loss.
