Do you know that 75% of women believe they are fat even though only 25% are actually considered medically overweight?
75% of 4th Grade girls report that they are on a diet?
Do you know that dieting can be an eating disorder as serious as binge eating?
“I began dieting at 13 and started throwing up at 16, after I saw another friend do it. At first, it was just something I’d do now and then, after I’d eaten too much or when I felt too fat. But soon it seemed like I was eating too much too often and feeling fat all the time. In college, I started running to try to keep my weight down, but I couldn’t stop eating. The academic and social stress was just too much for me. I remember at night going from vending machine to vending machine, trying to fill this insatiable need to eat and then feeling so disgusted afterward I would find the nearest bathroom and throw up. "
