22why it's important:
I've had an eating disorder for almost seven years now, and i know remember how clueless i was in how to hadle my situation. It wasn't until a year ago that i went into a rehab center. I wouldn't wish anyone to ever have to go through all the pain and confusion that an eating disorder brings. I want to help people avoid getting trapped in that situation, want to provide resources to them to get advice and proffessional health.
the plan of action:
I just started going to a meeting at a local park. I am trying to speak out of my expirience so that others can feel comfortable about opening and admiting their problem.I have talked to friends and piers about my struggles and most can relate and I'm able to help. I am currently thinking about expanding these talks to schools and looking into starting a club at school to help people with their self image and esteem.
how you can get involved:
I think that the best other people can do is be true to themselves and if they need help to admit it and search for help, to not be afraid of what others may think this is their well being in jeopardy. And if anyone needs help or have any questions just e-mail me, don't hesitate.
