Eating Disorder Awareness

This is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

Eating disorders - which include everything from anorexia and bulimia to overeating and binge eating - affect over 11 million people (women and men). This is the week to raise awareness about it, with the theme "Be comfortable in your genes. Wear jeans that fit the TRUE you." Eating disorders often have very little to do with food and much to do with coping and control. Find events you can attend near you. Assist someone in getting the help they need, and seek out help if you need it. For a bit of inspiration, check out this informative and powerful video.
