serious subject used for art awareness!!!!!
okay so i am doing an artist book for my studio arts class. the book is unique and tells something about the artist, something that the artist cares about or a statement they want to make. My book is about the pressure that cause eating disorders in young adults (like society, school,boy/girlfriends, family...) . i am collecting nutrional facts and all the "fat free, low carb" labels on all the boxes of everything. i am cutting out super models and collecting facts on eating disorders. i have a sufficient amount of information for my book, but i really want to tie it together with a personal touch. So, with that, i would really appreciate it if people would share their stories with food and personal experiences. what the stories should generally be about is a personal struggle with self image and how food came into play. it could have to do with over eating, under eating, purging, or even just pure pressure from a loved one to go on a diet or gain more weight. something that has to do with pressure and food. it could even be self pressure or pressure of schoolwork. anything! i understand that this is a very personal subject and that people want to remain anonymous so there are several ways to do this:
if you want to post it on this entry, you can anonymously.
if you want to email it to me and i can use a different name and keep you anonymous (im good with secrets!) my email is beauty__dies@hotmail.com
if you want real anonymous, no one to know, my mailing adress is:

again i know this is a very touchy and sensitive subject and i would really appreciate it if you would participate. the book is meant to help show awareness and hopefully make a strong statement. the more stories i get, the stronger the statement will be. if you do choose to participate by sending mail, please if you have any nutrition facts or diet labels laying around send them! also, if you wouldnt mind please incorporate your idealized looks/body type (like if you think the ideal look is in a certain actress or actor) (could be what you want to look like, or what you want to date or both!)
OR
if you wouldnt mind just mentioning how food effects your everyday life...your mood...how often you think about it...if you count calories or are on a diet...what it means to you (your comfort or safety)...if you eat what you want vs. what you need...those sort of things i would realy appreciate it too!
or
if you know someone who has a hard timewith food..wont eat in front of people...over eats...under eats...is really picky about food or diets...that sort of things and you wouldnt mind talking about how it effects you, id appreciate that as well!
again thank you SO much if you choose to participate. if not, thanks for your time!
