Your Daily Banana

February is “Eating Disorder Awareness Month”. I recently made a post on binge eating, and after sitting through a few sessions with people lately discussing much of this, I’ve decided that I will devote some space here to it on this blog. Over the next few days I will be sharing the stories of others and also sharing some things I’ve experienced, as someone very close to friends and or family members who have suffered with eating disorders. I invite all of you to follow these next few post and make yourself familiar with these disorders. They are a problem and whether you know it or not, chances are - you have someone very close to you currently suffering with one of these disorders. Unfortunately, it’s more serious than most people realize. I want to not only shed light on that but explain the differences between what we now refer to as “Anorexia Nervosa” and Bulimia Nervosa.

I will start these posts off tomorrow by explaining the medical and biological affects of an eating disorder on both the body and the mind.
