21st - 27th February is Eating Disorders Awareness week, a subject far too close to my heart.
If you, or anyone you know, are suffering from an eating disorder then this is a great website for getting help. From personal experience, I would urge anyone who is struggling to look into it because it is incredibly hard to beat this illness without professional support, and studies show that the sooner this support is in place, the higher a person's chances of recovery.
Remember, what you see on the outside is not a reflection on what is happening internally. People of all shapes and sizes, as well as of any sex, nationality, economic background or race, can suffer from an eating disorder.
It is a long and difficult battle, but I believe that eating disorders can be beaten. Hopefully including my own!
