#Repost @mysignaturenutrition (@get_repost)・・・Can we talk about how common eating disorders are for just a minute? I hear so often, “oh eating disorders, they’re not that common, right?” WRONG!.. AT least 30 million americans suffer with a diagnosed eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, EDNOS/OSFED, ARFID. Even more Americans struggle with disordered eating on top of that... 〰️To put that in perspective:. About 15 million americans suffer from cancer. Know someone who has cancer? Then you likely know someone who has an eating disorder, you just don’t know it. (And I don’t compare these statistics lightly, my mom had cancer, my uncle had cancer, and my grandmother and great aunt died from cancer.).. 1 in 5 women struggle with an eating disorder or disordered eating. 1 in 8 women struggle with breast cancer!.. 1 in 10 men struggle with an eating disorder or disordered eating (and honestly I think that number is much higher in reality). 1 in 17,543 men will struggle with testicular cancer... 30 million Americans have diabetes. Know someone with diabetes? Then you likely know someone with an eating disorder because the prevalence is about the same... Eating disorders are way more common than you think… ..Because of that- please be eating disorders aware.Anyone of any body weight, shape, or size can have an eating disorder.. You can’t tell if someone has an eating disorder or the severity of an eating disorder by looking. Eating disorders impact all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses..This is why it’s so important to shift the focus off of weight- to end weight stigma AND to stop promoting weight loss/dieting/restricted eating. While not every diet leads to an eating disorder, every eating disorder starts with a diet or some form of restriction...#nedawareness #nedaweek #nedaawarenessweek #neda #nedaweek2018 #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #prorecovery #edrecovery #anorexia #bulimia #bingeeatingdisorder #ednos #statistics #cancer #diabetes #hope #recovery #bopo #cedrd #ceds -- source link
