Eating Disorders

To me this is significant because I would like to hope that one day eating disorders will disappear or at least the numbers of people suffering will significantly drop. It saddens me how many people are suffering from an eating disorder still and how so many people die before they have realised how amazing they really are.

Italty conference 2

Outside our workshop were posters of statements about eating disorders that arose on day one. However post-its were available to write your own thoughts so as an ambassador I wrote LOADS!

An Italian minister stopped to talk to me after I had written that eating disorders are more than just a diet; after a comment was written implying they were. He wasn't impressed with the outdated comment and praised me for standing up to it =]

Here are the statements I wrote.

Eating disorders workshop

Pro recovery!

Eating disorders are more than just weight and food

I am more than just my appearance

I am going to love myself flaws and all!

Recovery is about finding out who you really are and regaining your identity.
Goodbye anorexia!

ED sufferers have a voice too

EDS are NOT about being as thin as possible

I am an example that EDS can be beaten. Recovered anorexic

Eating disorders are NOT a diet gone wrong

Italy should have their own eating disorders charity

Motivate us! Don’t say we can’t do something

We are stronger than you think!
