I'm not sure how many of you know
thiswholeflight, but her mother passed away a few days ago. She was 52 years old and weighed less that 50 pounds.
One thing that Heidi
asked people to do was post about anorexia awareness in their journals, so that is what I am doing.
I am lucky enough to have had very little contact with this disease, but I can understand the devastating effect it can have on people and families. By some estimates, about 5% of women and 1% of men suffer from an eating disorder, such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia.
Please go and check out
The National Eating Disorder Association's website where you can
donate which I plan on doing after the holidays.
