What is an eating disorder?
- An eating disorder, whether anorexia, bulimia or binge eating, makes the individual turn
nourishment of the body into a powerful attack on their own self. At the core there are far
deeper issues than mere vanity.
- Focusing energy on controlling weight/body image becomes a way of coping with a situation
that someone may find unbearable. This progresses and gradually becomes a coping mechanism for
dealing with everyday situations.
- Eating disorders provoke powerful emotions of guilt, blame and an overwhelming sense of
failure, and can result in intense suffering.
- The victims and their families often display incredible courage in the face of this intense
suffering and we hope to help you understand and overcome a very distressing condition.
- KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and STRENGTH IS UNITY
