National Eating Disorder Week

Eating disorders are such a challenge for those who live with them because they are so integrated into every single day of a person's life.  This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness week.  According to the National Eating Disorder Association 28.8 million Americans experience an eating disorder at some point in their lives.  The emotional and physical toll that eating disorders have on those struggling with them as well as their family members and friends is significant.  If you or someone you know is dealing with an eating disorder it is important to get help.  Resources are available and it will be worth it.  For those of you who have pushed through the worst of your fight with your eating disorders, know that you are seen and valued and you serve as hope for those who are just entering their own eating disorder battle.  And to all of you, remember that I am here if you need to talk about any concerns related to your eating concerns (or the concerns you have for your friends.)
