National Eating Disorders Awareness Week started February 26th and ends on March 3rd. I wanted to make a post before but I haven’t had the time or energy, so I’m making it now… 

This is an issue that is very near and dear to my heart, and I just want to help spread awareness. Even if you don’t personally suffer from an eating disorder, or don’t know anybody affected by one, it is still a rapidly growing disease that affect millions of people every day- not only in the US, but around the world, and you can still spread awareness. I have struggled with eating disorders/disordered eating since a young age, and although my health has improved immensely in recent months/years, I still struggle on a daily basis with negative thoughts, body image, food, etc. I am aware that a lot of my followers share the same struggles. I just want you guys to know that you are not alone- help is out there and recovery IS possible, so please don’t give up on yourselves. I send my best wishes and love to anyone and everyone who is struggling. For more information, you can visit this website: http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org 

There are so many ways to help and get involved… Even if you don’t want to participate, there is still a lot of helpful information on the NEDA website, so why not educate yourself?
