Thank you so much for this post. I think you have said everything that needs to be said to parents regarding avoiding eating disorders in their kids… and I admire and respect you so much for putting this out there. Just think, you could save lives with this post. On behalf of everyone who has ever had, has, or will have an eating disorder… thank you. And I’m honoured that you included my words!

Thanks for the comments! I think many parents know this but may not know how easily their kids (especially girls) absorb this stuff.
