Quote by Lorena Hughes

“the more I impersonated Cristóbal, the more it affected my psyche. I almost took offense at Angélica’s comment; the way she trivialized men and bundled them all together as if they were one entity. Living as a man was having strange effects on me. For one, it was forcing me to see them as individuals. Cristóbal and Martin, for example, were different in so many ways I could no longer subscribe to the “all men are the same” mentality.”

“Both childhood digestive problems and pica are associated with later bulimia, and adolescent girls who are high achieving and anxious are at greater risks for disordered eating. Family contention around meals and childhood self-control predict later adolescent consumption (e.g. binging or avoiding foods), with onset of puberty playing an additional role in risks for disordered eating. Physical body changed among girls, marked by spreading hips and adipose deposits, trigger body concerns at the same time that social comparisons heighten to foster unhealthy expectations and more attention to consumption.”

“Among all children, popularity and acceptance with peers is a major protective factor against body concerns and disordered eating, whereas body-focused teasing from peers is a risk factor for binge eating and dieting. As a final comment, these relations are most prevalent in societies where media outlets, such as television and social media, are dominant.”
