Dont be a statistic

It is estimated that 8 million Americans have an eating disorder – seven million women and one million men.  Do you ever wonder how many of them survive? Studies show that 5-10% of anorexics die within 10 years after contracting the disease and 18-20% of anorexics will be dead after 20 years.  Think about the pros and cons of having an eating disorder...think of any pros?  Think of a million cons?  I know i did.  Think about it.  Do you want to be a statistic?


Think about a child.  They play all day and when they are hungry...they eat.   What has changed?  The media showing us how women should look?  Every commercial you see on T.V being about weight loss and how it makes you "happy."  Our self esteem is like a bucket of water.  When we are born it starts out full but as time goes on certain situations poke holes in the bucket making it lose water until there is none left.  Lets try to plug up the holes and fill our buckets back up again. When you look in the mirror, think of a child...would you say those things to a child?
