You are a counselor for those suffering from eating disorders. Today, you have two different
group sessions: one consisting of clients with obesity issues, and one dealing with anorexia
issues. So that the clients feel more comfortable, you would like to first start the session by
explaining some of the physiological factors that cause people to eat or not eat. Then, you
will open the floor for questions from the group.
• Due Date: Day 7 [Individual] forum
• Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in APA format containing the following:
1. Introduction: Act as the eating disorder counselor and introduce yourself
to the group. Provide a brief explanation about what you will be discussing
today.
2. Description of the physiological factors for hunger and satiety:
Discuss the physiological myths about hunger and satiety and those
physiological factors that do contribute to hunger and satiety.
3. Respond to the following questions proposed by the two different
groups:
o Lindsey asked: “My parents were both obese, is that why I am”?
o Robert asked: “My girlfriend and I eat together all of the time, so we eat
the same food and amounts of food, but she never gains weight like I
do. Why is that?”
o Nancy asked: “My mom says that I became anorexic because I’ve
been reading too many Cosmo magazines and want to look like those
girls. Maybe I did, but I really just don’t crave food. What do you think it
is?”
Tyra asked: “I don’t eat because every time I do, I just feel sick! Do you
know why this is?”
