It’s time to get real about eating disorders. More than that, it’s time to get LOUD and break down the harmful misinformation that surrounds these mental illnesses. Eating disorders are not choices, diets, or phases. They're complicated and personal. How can you help? By treating eating disorders like the serious mental illnesses they are. By pushing back against fatphobia. By tearing down the shame associated with eating disorders. By broadening your perspective about who lives with eating disorders. And by valuing people for who they are, not how they look.
