Sharing inspiration and understanding
We are continually inspired by the powerful stories of individuals who have overcome eating disorders and of those who have chosen to join us in the fight against eating disorders. Although no two experiences are alike, it is our hope that you, our readers, may also find something here that inspires or speaks to you. Whether you struggle with an eating disorder personally or support someone with an eating disorder, you are not alone.
If you have a story you'd like to share, we invite you to contact us. Please note: not all stories that are submitted will be posted.
