Sara remembers going on one ot her first diets when she
v\ as H years old Stic w .is a third grader when tier mother used
to tiring .1 sper nil diet turn h to school lor her and tin s would
hoth sit out in the i ar and eat
Seventeen years later. Sara was carrying 2 10 pounds
around on a five foot frame A vicious cycle ot hinge eating
and ( hronii dieting tiad brought tier to this extreme
In tlie worst ot tier overeating days Sara would sit in trout
of die television with the < urtains drawn and telephone uii
plugged, surrounded try ( nokies II e i ream and i hips she had
just bought w ith a bad i her k In the dieting part ot the i yi le
she tried various things from not eating to fad diets to speed
to vomiting always to return to binging
Although her obesity is unusual, some form ot Sam's expe
riem e w itli overeating and < bronii dieting is i onimon among
young women in the t'nited States today Most compulsive
eaters and chronu dieters are either college students or worn
en m their early 2(ls said Dr lean Kubel head ot Sacred
11 earl's Hating Disorders Program and a Pli D in theology
Hating disorders or i ur on .1 sper trum w illi .ill degrees ot all
different types ot behaviors trom wh.it most ot 11 s do on
Thanksgiving Day to always being on a diet, Kubel said Most
compulsive eaters and chmnii dieters are normal yveight to
slightly overweight
While the medical profession rer ogniz.es only anorexia nei
vosa and bulimia as medical problems Kubel said d people
are eating lor any reason other than hunger there is some ele
ment ol eating disorder
Kxcessive or r hronic dieters are people v\ itb a diet mentali
tv, said Mary tail Murphy ol the t'niversity ( ounseling t'en
It:r.
"They spend .1 Int i)t (iiiit' trying 11ru diets .mil worrying
.11HiuI food ,iml weight.'' Murphy said ( liromi dieters (fid
good about tlit*msclvfs wlifn they arc (lifting successfully
and Ifid bad about thfniseives wlifn diets don't work
(aiinpulstve eaters use (nod for reasons other than hungei
espei tally m leal lion to feelings, and feel guilty aftei overeat
mg Murpln said hike < hronii dieters, ((impulsive eaters
worry about weight and food most of the day
Kubel said it s typical tor one person to have both eating
disorders and alternate between binging and dieting ( liromi
dieters often make themselves so hungry that they go out and
binge while compulsive eaters may periodn ally liy to diet to
lose yyelgflt
lust iioyy widespread ( ouipu I si ve eat i ng and i liionii diet
ing are is unkituyvu. but Murphy said they are very common
among college students adding that the I’fliyersity f ounsel
mg f enter miglit do a study next veai to determine the ,K tual
percentage oi eating disorders in l’diversity students
To get an idea of the prevalent e ol the chronii diet
ing compulsive eating i yi le. Hubei i onipares the niimliei ot
people yvlio attend S.n red Heart's program to the large num

It you folloyy a dieter tor five years she said OH per

dieted and hinged, never allowing herself to get more than 20
pounds overweight
As an adult ( liery I yyeni through phases when she i nuldn't
diet and gained large amounts of weight She tried three (lit
lerent weight loss programs m Eugene but gained I'ill pounds

Whether hinging or dieting or both these women all have
one thing in common I hey use food or dieting as a (oping
