Let’s get REAL about eating disorders
We-all-have-a-lot-of-work-to-do to get the right message out about eating disorders. Like, sift the truth from the crap. Here are a few truths to share: Parents do NOT cause eating disorders to develop in their children; children do NOT choose to develop an eating disorder; you do not need to be THIN to have an eating disorder; many adults have an eating disorder and yes, recovery IS possible at EVERY age; body image problems do NOT cause an eating disorder. Oh, there is so much more to share.
To get the real story, the truth, about eating disorders:
* Read blogs by:
Laura Collins Lyster-Mensh and Carrie Arnold.
And go to:
* F.E.A.S.T. website
* National Eating Disorders’ Association website (USA)
* Beat (UK) website.
* National Eating Disorders Collaboration (Australia) website.
