Subject: Eating Disorders

I think that going over eating disorders is extremely important to cover in class! One of my dearest and closet friend had an eating disorder a couple of years ago. I had no idea at first, but eventually caught her throwing up. It is so crazy how sometimes we are quick to judge people who are very thin girls and are obviously anorexic, but yet you probably could not even tell by looking at a girl if she is bulimic or not. Let me tell you that it is very hard to detect because my friend was at a normal weight, and would always eat around me, but I had no idea. My advice to anyone would be to accept that there are no quick easy solutions for recovery from an eating disorder. If your loved one is to get lasting recovery, she needs to make changes in her attitude and behaviors, and these changes take time. You cannot make them for her. However, you, family, and friends need to make changes to accomadate her growth. Intervention may be one of the most difficult things you do within the course of a relationship. Do not expect that your loved one will be open, cooperative, nor grateful to your intervention. Gratitude sometimes comes later.
