Interesting Information

I caught a glimpse of the following points and I thought they were interesting and important.


1. People with eating disorders think about and use food in ways that are physically and emotionally destructive.

2. An eating disorder changes relationships with friends and family as the focus on food and eating increases.

3. Eating disorders don’t discriminate. They affect people of all ages, both genders, from all walks of life and all ethnic and socioeconomic groups.

4. Eating disorders don’t just happen or pop up out of nowhere. They have logic, initially serve a purpose in your life and may be triggered by a specific life event.

5. Eating disorders can create serious problems in every aspect of life: physical, emotional, social, intellectual economic.

6. Recovery is possible by challenging the beliefs and changing the behaviors that support the eating disorder.

These important bits of information are from the “Beginner’s Guide to Eating Disorders Recovery” book.
