Nantsi into esiyiphosakeleyo malunga 'nobuso' beengxaki zokutya. Kwaye kutheni kunokuba yingozi kangaka.

Ukutya okucingayo yikholamu ephonononga imiba eyahlukeneyo yokutya okungalunganga kunye nokubuyisa. Igqwetha kunye nomlobi u-Brittany Ladin ubalisa amava akhe ngelixa egxeka amabali ethu enkcubeko malunga nokuphazamiseka kwindlela yokutya.

Impilo kunye nokuphila kakuhle kuchaphazela ngamnye wethu ngokwahlukileyo. Eli libali lomntu omnye.

Xa ndandineminyaka eli-14, ndayeka ukutya.

Ndaye ndadlula kunyaka okhathazayo owandishiya ndiziva ndingalawuleki kwaphela. Ukuthintela ukutya ngokukhawuleza kwaba yindlela yokuphelisa ukudakumba noxinzelelo kunye nokuziphazamisa kwintlungu yam. Khange ndikwazi ukulawula okwenzekileyo kum - {textend} kodwa bendikwazi ukulawula endikubeke emlonyeni wam.

Ndibe nethamsanqa lokufumana uncedo xa ndifikelela. Ndandinokufikelela kwizibonelelo kunye nenkxaso evela kubasebenzi bezonyango kunye nosapho lwam. Nangona kunjalo, ndisasokola iminyaka esi-7.

Ngeli xesha, uninzi lwabantu endibathandayo zange bacingele ukuba ubomi bam buphela bachitha uloyiko, uloyiko, ukuzingxala, nokuzisola ngokutya.

Aba ngabantu endikhe ndachitha ixesha nabo - {textend} ebendisitya nabo, bendihamba nohambo kunye, ndisabelana ngeemfihlo nabo. Yayingelo tyala labo. Ingxaki kukuba ukuqonda kwethu kwenkcubeko yokuphazamiseka kwindlela yokutya kukhawulelwe kakhulu, kwaye abantu endibathandayo bebengazi ukuba bajonge ntoni ... okanye kufuneka bekhangele nantoni na.

Kukho izizathu ezimbalwa ezibonisa ukuba ingxaki yam yokutya (i-ED) ayifumanekanga ixesha elide:

Andizange ndibhityiswe ngamathambo

Yintoni ethi qatha engqondweni yakho xa usiva ingxaki yokutya?

Abantu abaninzi banomfanekiso obhinqileyo, omncinci, omhlophe, umfazi we-cisgender. Obu bubuso be-EDs esiboniswe yimithombo yeendaba- {textend} kwaye ngoku, ii-ED zichaphazela abantu bazo zonke iiklasi zentlalo noqoqosho, zonke iintlanga, kunye nabo bonke ubuni besini.

Ndiwulingana kakhulu nomthetho oyilwayo wobo "buso" be-EDs - {textend} Ndingumfazi ophakathi nodidi olumhlophe cisgender. Umzimba wam wendalo ubhityile. Ngelixa ndiphulukene neeponti ezingama-20 ngexesha ledabi lam ne-anorexia, kwaye ndikhangeleka ndinempilo xa ndithelekisa nobume bendalo bomzimba wam, khange ndijongwe "njengogulayo" kuninzi lwabantu.

Ukuba ikhona into, ndikhangeleka ngathi "ndibumbile" - {textend} kwaye bendihlala ndibuzwa malunga nendlela endihlala ndizilolonga ngayo.

Umqondo wethu omxinwa wokuba i-ED "ijongeka kanjani" uyingozi ngokumangalisayo. Ukumelwa kwangoku kwee-ED kwimidiya kuxelela uluntu ukuba abantu bebala, amadoda, kunye nezizukulwana ezindala azichaphazeleki. Oku kuthintela ukufikelela kwizibonelelo kwaye kunokuba sisongelo kubomi.

Indlela endithethe ngayo ngomzimba wam kunye nobudlelwane bam nokutya bekuthathwa njengesiqhelo

Cinga ngezi zibalo:

• Ngokwe-National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA), malunga ne-30 yezigidi zabantu base-US kuqikelelwa ukuba bahlala nengxaki yokutya ngexesha elithile ebomini babo.
• Ngokophando, uninzi lwabasetyhini baseMelika- {textend} malunga neepesenti ezingama-75- {textend} baxhasa "iingcinga ezingekho mpilweni, iimvakalelo, okanye isimilo esihambelana nokutya okanye imizimba yabo."
• Uphando lufumanise ukuba abantwana abancinci njenge-8 bafuna ukuncipha okanye banenkxalabo ngomzimba wabo.
• Ulutsha olufikisayo kunye namakhwenkwe athathelwa ingqalelo njengokutyeba kakhulu asemngciphekweni omkhulu wokufumana iingxaki kunye nokuxilongwa okungachazwanga.

Inyani yile, indlela enditya ngayo kunye nolwimi olubi endandilisebenzisa ukuchaza umzimba wam aluzange luthathwe njengengaqhelekanga.

Zonke iitshomi zam bezifuna ukubangcungcutheka, zithethe kakubi ngemizimba yazo, kwaye ziye zatya ifashoni ngaphambi kweziganeko ezinje nge-prom - {textend} kwaye uninzi lwazo aluzange lubenengxaki yokutya.

Ukukhula eSouthern California ngaphandle kweLos Angeles, i-veganism yayithandwa kakhulu. Ndisebenzise le ndlela ukufihla izithintelo zam, kwaye njengesizathu sokuphepha ukutya okuninzi. Ndithathe isigqibo sokuba ndingumthanjiswa ngelixa ndikwihambo lokumisa inkampu kunye neqela lolutsha, apho bekungekho khetho lwevegan.

Kwi-ED yam, le yayiyindlela efanelekileyo yokuthintela ukutya okwenziwayo kwaye yayinokukhethwa kwindlela yokuphila. Abantu banokuyivuyela le nto, kunokuba baphakamise ishiya.

I-Orthorexia ayisathathwa njengengxaki yokutya esemthethweni, kwaye uninzi lwabantu alwazi ngayo

Emva kweminyaka emalunga ne-4 ndisokola i-anorexia nervosa, mhlawumbi sesona sifo saziwayo sokutya, ndaba ne-orthorexia. Ngokungafaniyo neanorexia, egxile kuthintelo lokutya, i-orthorexia ichazwa njengokuthintela ukutya okungathathwa njengecocekileyo okanye okunempilo.

Kubandakanya ukungakhathali, iingcinga ezinyanzelekileyo malunga nomgangatho kunye nexabiso lesondlo lokutya okutyayo. (Nangona i-orthorexia okwangoku ingaziwa yi-DSM-5, yaqulunqwa ngo-2007.)

Ndityile ukutya okwesiqhelo- {textend} Ukutya oku-3 ngosuku kunye nokutya okulula. Ndilahlekelwe ngumzimba, kodwa hayi kangako njengoko ndiphulukene ne-anorexia. Esi yayisisilo esitsha esitsha endandijongane naso, kwaye ndandingazi nokuba sikhona ..., nto leyo, eyenza ukuba kube nzima ukoyisa.

Ndabona ukuba lo gama nje ndisenza into yokutya, ndiye "ndachacha."

Enyanisweni, ndandibuhlungu. Bendihlala kude kube sebusuku ndicwangcisela ukutya kwam kunye nokutya okutyayo kusasele iintsuku. Ndinobunzima bokutya ngaphandle, kuba bendingenalo ulawulo lwento engena ekutyeni kwam. Ndandisoyika ukutya ukutya okufanayo kabini ngosuku olunye, kwaye ndatya iicarbs kanye ngosuku.

Ndabuyela kuninzi lwezijikelezo zam zentlalo kuba iminyhadala kunye nezicwangciso zentlalo zazibandakanya ukutya, kwaye ukuboniswa ngesitya endingazange ndisilungiselele kwabangela uxinzelelo olukhulu kum. Ekugqibeleni, ndandingondlekanga.

Ndandineentloni

Abantu abaninzi abangakhange bachaphazeleke kukutya okungalunganga banexesha elinzima lokuqonda ukuba kutheni abo baphila nge-ED bengadli nje.

Into abangayiqondiyo kukuba ii-ED ziphantse azange malunga nokutya ngokwako- {textend} ii-ED yindlela yokulawula, ukuphazamisa, ukujongana nayo, okanye ukulungisa iimvakalelo. Ndandisoyika ukuba abantu bazakuphosisa ukugula kwam ngengqondo ngamampunge, ndazifihla. Abo ndandizityand 'igila kubo babengaqondi ukuba ukutya kubuthathe njani ubomi bam.

Ndandisoyika nokuba abantu abazokundikholelwa- {textend} ngakumbi kuba andizange ndibhityiswe ngamathambo. Xa ndixelela abantu nge-ED yam, phantse bahlala besabela kukothuka- {textend} kwaye ndiyithiyile loo nto. Indenze ndazibuza ukuba ingaba ndiyagula nyani na (ndandinguye).

Ukuthatha

Inqaku lam lokwabelana ngebali lam ayikokukwenza ukuba nabani na okukufutshane nam azive engonwabanga ngokungayiqapheli intlungu endandikuyo. Ayikokuhlazisa mntu ngendlela abasabele ngayo, okanye ukubuza ukuba kutheni ndiziva ndililolo kakhulu uhambo lwam.

Kukubonisa iziphene kwiingxoxo zethu ezijikeleze kunye nokuqonda ii-ED, ngokususa umphezulu wenqaku elinye lamava am.

Ndiyathemba ukuba ngokuqhubeka nokwabelana ngebali lam kunye nokugxeka ibali lethu lendawo ye-ED, sinokwaphula iingcinga ezithintela abantu ekuvavanyeni ubudlelwane babo nokutya, kwaye bafune uncedo njengoko kufuneka.

Ii-ED zichaphazela wonke umntu kwaye ukubuyiswa kufuneka kuye wonke umntu. Ukuba umntu uzityand 'igila kuwe malunga nokutya, mkholelwe - {textend} nokuba ungakanani ngobukhulu bejean okanye indlela atya ngayo.

Yenza umzamo osebenzayo wokuthetha ngothando emzimbeni wakho, ngakumbi phambi kwezizukulwana ezincinci. Phonsa umbono wokuba ukutya "kulungile" okanye "kubi," kwaye uyala inkcubeko yokutya okunetyhefu. Yenze ibe yinto engaqhelekanga ukuba umntu azilambise ngokwakhe - {textend} kwaye unikezele ngoncedo xa ubona into ibonakala ingekho.
