National Eating Disorders Awareness Week February 21-27, 2010

Being a blogger, I think this is particularly important:

The Media, Body Image, and Eating Disorders
“Eating disorders are complex conditions that arise from a variety of factors, including physical, psychological, interpersonal, and social issues. Media images that help to create cultural definitions of beauty and attractiveness are often acknowledged as being among those factors contributing to the rise of eating disorders.”

As a member of the social media world, I try my best to promote positive, healthy ways of eating and exercising. :)

For more information about eating disorders, please visit the National Eating Disorders Association website.
