Lecture Notes

Eating disorders are one health issue that can affect your sexuality. It is defined as the compulsive overeating or over dieting or a combination of both. Common traits of people with eating disorders include low self-esteem, perfectionism, difficulty dealing with emotions, unreasonable demands for self-control, negative perceptions of self in relation to others, and the fear of becoming fat. Having these desires is normal, but the means by which we try to fulfill them can be extreme and self-destructive.
