Let's Talk About Eating Disorders: Break The Silence

It's Time To Talk About It

...is what this year's National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is all about.

Secrecy plays a major roll for most with an eating disorder and hinders recovery. Whether you're an ED advocate who openly speaks about your eating disorder, or someone who has never spoken about it before, I'd like to invite you to share your experience on Weighing The Facts.

I'm looking for your stories and poems about your personal experience with EDs.

Topics can be about (but are not limited to):

• the role secrecy has played in your eating disorder
• how talking about it has affected your ED and recovery
• your story
• your journey

It can be about whatever is most important to you.

If you'd like to participate and be featured here during this year's National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (February 21st-27th) please email your submissions to MrsMenopausal@yahoo.com.
Please specify if you'd like to remain anonymous or have your name (or alias) included.

*Please see sidebar menu for ED/Body Image poems and writings
