Starting today, February 22nd, NEDA is celebrating National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
This made me start thinking about things that we could all do this week to raise awareness of EDs as well as to help put a dent in their stronghold.
Some of my ideas include:
1. Pledging not to weigh ourselves this week.
2. Pledging to compliment the women in our lives on something other than their figures this week.
3. Pledging to not binge, binge and purge or starve ourselves this week.
4. Pledging to throw (or give) away the “skinny” clothes we use to torment ourselves.
5. Pledging to make others understand that eating disorders are a disease, not a choice.
What are your thoughts?
