“…For example, ''drive for thinness'' and ''dietary restraint'' may persist at higher levels for individuals with a history of AN, or may continue particularly in the subgroup who is likely to cross back into AN from BN or EDNOS. Alternatively, psychological motivations to achieve low weight (e.g., achievement of a sense of security, avoidance of negative emotions 15 ) may drive women with AN in ways that are not present for those with no history of AN.…”

Objective: To determine whether a past diagnosis of anorexia nervosa (AN) predicts longitudinal course and outcome among women with bulimia nervosa (BN).Method: A subset (n 5 176) of participants in the Longitudinal Study of Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa who met DSM-IV criteria for BN either at study intake (n 5 144) or during follow-up (n 5 32; 4 had restricting AN at intake, 28 had binge/purge AN at intake) were included in this report. Over a median of 9 years, weekly eating disorder symptom data were collected from participants using the Longitudinal Interview Followup Examination, Eating Disorders Version.Results: While there were no betweengroup differences in likelihood of partial recovery, women with BN who had a history of AN were more likely to have a protracted illness, relapsing into AN during follow-up, compared to those with no AN history who were more likely to move from partial to full recovery. Conclusion:Lifetime AN is an important prognostic indicator among women with BN and these longitudinal data would support the subtyping of BN on the basis of AN history.

“…Jenkins & Ogden 24 interviewed women recovering from anorexia nervosa, and all of them strongly believed they were not recovered until they ended their obsession with food and weight. However, gaining weight and having anorexia nervosa as a life purpose were factors identified by Nordbo et al 32 and that could affect the wish of recovering.…”

Nordbo et al 32 observed that eating was associated with a reduced wish of recovering due to the assumption that this kind of food cause weight gain.…”

“…Lamoureux and Bottorff 31 noticed that the AN was the solution found by the individuals to deal with daily challenges and demands; therefore, restriction and weight loss were the way found by the subjects to establish control and identity 32,33 . Among the challenges cited when in recovery, a feeling of abandonment and exposure were observed, considering that once recovered, the familiar feeling of security made room for insecurity and fear, making them feel vulnerable and susceptible to relapses.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze qualitatively how women, who have recovered from anorexia nervosa, perceive and describe their current eating practices, as well as the ones developed during the eating disorder period. Methods: Seven women were interviewed individually with the objective of investigating their eating practices, transition phases and all relevant aspects that somewhat contributed to the habit-forming; experiences, feelings and perceptions related to mealtime and the influence that food has had over the present subjects' life. The interviews were analyzed by the discourse of the collective subject method. results: The results brought up the following topics: a) control; b) concerns and feelings; c) deprivation d) beauty dictatorship; e) eating competence; f) importance of food; g) food cacophony. conclusions: What stands out is a multiplicity of eating practices, which during the eating disorder were similar to and characterized by restriction; however, after recovery, part of the subjects seem to have developed a higher eating competence, whereas others show a practice similar to the one acquired during the anorexia nervosa, such as the difficulty in realizing when they are satisfied and a feeling of discomfort when facing social interactions. reSUMO Objetivo: Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar qualitativamente como mulheres que se recuperaram da anorexia nervosa percebem e relatam suas práticas alimentares atuais, bem como as práticas vigentes no período do transtorno.

Estas abordaram: hábitos alimentares das entrevistadas; mudanças e fatores importantes para a formação destes; vivências, sentimentos e percepções associados ao momento da refeição; e a influência que a alimentação exerce na vida das participantes hoje. A análise dessas deu-se a partir da técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. resultados: Os resultados trouxeram os seguintes temas: a) controle; b) preocupações e sensações; c) privação d) ditadura da beleza; e) competência alimentar; f) importância da alimentação; g) cacofonia alimentar. conclusões: Destaca-se Original article Ulian MD et al. nesses a multiplicidade das práticas alimentares, que durante o transtorno se assemelham e se caracterizam pela restrição; no entanto, após a recuperação dos sujeitos, alguns parecem ter desenvolvido maior competência alimentar, enquanto outros apresentam práticas semelhantes às vigentes na anorexia nervosa, além de dificuldade de perceberem quando estão satisfeitos e sensação de desconforto em situações de interação social.

The meaning of self-starvation: Qualitative study of patients' perception of anorexia nervosa

Abstract: The eight constructs may have central functions in the maintenance of AN and should be regarded when patients' motivation and goals for treatment are assessed. Further study of the possible functions of the constructs in maintaining AN is warranted.
