You’re a parent and you’re concerned about eating disorders.
I understand. I’m a parent, too, and I’ve battled anorexia as both a teen and an adult.
To help you gain an understanding of how insipid anorexia, bulimia and binge eating can be, I’ve compiled a list of eight warning signs that an eating disorder could be on the […]
After my last post on why parents ignore eating disorders in their children, I started to wonder about something similar — why do spouses or significant others do the same dance of “avoid the gorilla hiding under the carpet”?
Again, I’ve given it some thought and here are my theories:
1. They really don’t know that their […]
ALERT! I’m about to make a sweeping generalization:
Women are pretty damn catty.
I say this knowing that that many females will shout, “That’s not me! You’re being unfair!”
Yeah, I know that. I also know that women can be among the most vicious of god’s creatures when it comes to judging other women.
Oh — and I’ve done […]
Educate others about the facts surrounding eating disorders. Dispel the myths that surround anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. Find opportunities to talk with others, whether in small groups at your church or larger groups at a high school.
Work on getting healthy inside and out for yourself if you’re struggling with an eating disorder. It’s […]
How many times can I tell parents to be on the lookout for signs of eating disorders in their children, even those who seem “too young” to be worried about such a thing as having the “perfect” body?
If you’re a mom, dad, grandparents or guardian, it’s time to open your eyes and watch out for […]
Like most sites devoted to educating visitors on the horrors of eating disorders, Breaking the Mirror devotes plenty of time to giving you, the audience, information, statistics and all sorts of data. That’s well and good.
But the truth is that those of us who are trying to combat the spread of EDs have no idea how to […]
For those of you who participated in our “24 Hours of Body Love” and commented on bods 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, I want to let you know that your simple messages of positivity did make a difference!
(And with the pics still up, feel free to go back and […]
I have a confession that has nothing to do with EDs (at least not directly)… every Sunday, I love looking at the PostSecret website to read the cards sent in by anonymous people from around the world.
Today, I noticed that the eighth postcard down described a coke (the drug, not the drink) user’s realization that s/he […]
This is the second in an ongoing series of interviews with people who’ve either had eating disorders (EDs) or who spend their time helping those who do.
Today’s interview is with Meg, a successful young woman whose journey from anorexia to mental and physical health is inspirational and informative. I truly thank her for sharing her […]
Happy new year to all!
As the blogger for Breaking the Mirror, I’m determined to make this site exactly what you need.
Though I have numerous ideas for future posts, I’d love your input as well. For example, I have the opportunity to ask ED-related questions to leaders in the field of ED prevention and intervention. I have […]
