Young girls are more afraid of becoming fat than they are of nuclear war, cancer, or losing their parents.

Two out of five women and one out of five men would trade three to five years of their life to achieve their weight goals.

In 1970 the average age of a girl who started dieting was 14; by 1990 the average dieting age fell to 8.

After viewing images of female fashion models, seven out of ten women felt more depressed and angry than prior to viewing the images. (Check out The Tools- stop the intake of things that make you feel bad)

The “ideal” woman – portrayed by models, Miss America, Barbie dolls, and screen actresses – is 5’5, weighs 100 pounds and wears a size 5.

What is the difference between Disordered eating and an Eating Disorder

The T’ruth is told. I share my experience of disordered eating that began at 16 or 17 years old and how it effects me today. I think that once you have “issues with food you sort of always have them. It’s very similar to drug addiction. There are those who may not fit the classification of an “addict” but you exhibit behavior that has you with one foot on a banana peel on an oily floor and your wearing a rollerblade on your other foot! You have to be aware and keep your head level so that you don’t slip into that darkness.
