Eating disorders – such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder – are serious, potentially life-threatening conditions that affect both a person’s emotional and physical health. In the United States alone, 30 million people will be impacted by an eating disorder at some point in their lifetime. Eating disorders can include extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding weight and food issues. These conditions affect all kinds of people and don’t discriminate by race, age, sex, age or size.
If you or someone you care about might be suffering from an eating disorder, it is important to educate yourself and seek professional guidance as soon as possible because early intervention is key to successful recovery.

DeleteThank you for this post, when I was in my teen years I had a time where I simply wouldn't eat but work in a very demanding job (auto mechanic) so I lost a lot of weight reallly fast but it left me scared with my body image issues. Especially after having a child.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you have came over this! You shouldn't be scared of body image, that just mean you judge your own self harshly!
DeleteWhat a great post - and one that needs to be heard. Eating disorders shouldn't be taboo - this is such an important issue. Thank you for raising awareness!
