My heart is so torn into pieces right now...I dont even know what to say. A young lady tagged me today in an instagram photo of one of my juices she tried. I chatted with her back and forth. I thought she was quite perky so I checked her instagram..e to find out she has an eating disorder. Shes obsessed with photos of extremely thin women and uses these photos as motivation to workout harder. I viewed some of the comments on her photos and realized theres a whole community of men and women alike with eating disorders using social media to not only express themselves via photos (body checking and oh gosh, the cuts!) but to gain acceptance and encouragement from others JUST like them! The damage social media does. It feeds into their need for attention giving them more reason to continue what they are doing. I know because Ive been there and done that. All I want to do is reach out and help...help these people realize that there is so much more to life. That cutting and obsessing over what we look like is not worth it. I think I may have finally found my true calling in life, because everytime I read or hear about eating disorders all I want to do is quit everything I am doing, reach out and help. If you see or know anyone who is struggling, reach out to them. Make them feel beautiful, loved and give them attention...a lot of it! Dont yell at them, call them stupid, threaten them with psych wards because itll only make it worse. Eating disorders are psychological and go way deeper than food.... #NEDawareness
