(Photo courtesy of Clinically Clueless) I became very interested on this topic of Eating Disorders while looking at research during my group's Barbie Complex project a couple months back. I never knew that this was a serious mental issue, so I never took it serious. To me it seemed like a cry for attention or to get pitty from others. So I am sad to admit that I too (along with a lot of other people out there) believe in a lot of Myths relating to Eating Disorders. In my project I will dive into more of the common Myths around it. I think that there is not enough of variety of people suffering from this disease. The only ones that we see depicted on TV talking about it are all the same types of people, so in a way it seems almost like a "publicity stunt" rather than a real world disease. Since not a lot of people who watch it can relate to it, since they don't see themselves represented as having it. Hopefully everybody would see that it is real disorder (as more cases come out), the way that I did after my research.
Thank you ALL for watching and reading! I appreciate it.
