Eating disorders

Everywhere you turn the focus is on good looks, and looking good depends on if you are thin. Thin is defined among what we find on TV and in magazines, and what most people are trying to emulate. I think it is a very important issue to confront because in my personal experience it starts very young. My daughter is not one of the very skinny teenagers; she is not overweight but she isn�t skinny. Some call her fat and this makes her very self-conscious. For years she has had times when I would find that she was not eating or was throwing up what she ate. I assume that this will be a battle that we will fight for many years. So far this has not been a pattern that has lasted for more than a few days because I always find out. The message of what harm this can do to your body/mind cannot be stressed enough.
