Eating disorders are one of the key topics in today's research. Self-regulation is essential in eating disorders development including anorexia and bulimia. The paper mainly discusses the influence of self-regulation and eating disorders on adolescents. With the improvement of technology, adolescents are more susceptible to eating and lifestyle that lead to unhealthy social stigma and unstable emotions such as body dissatisfaction, especially in women. Due to the lack of a unified understanding of eating disorders, the prevalence rate of eating disorders has rapidly increased. Willpower is suggested to be an essential mechanism that influences one's self-regulation in eating behaviors. A high level of willpower can help them better regulate their emotions control their eating behaviors. This paper also discusses social cultural difference as one of the influencing factors. Eating disorders are a controversial topic, and there is still no unified conclusion that plays a role through the self-regulation ability. Further studies should review the effectiveness to improve self-regulation ability.
