The words “eating disorder” often conjure an image of an extremely thin young woman, usually white, who restricts food and who is obsessed with dieting and weight.
The reality, however, is that eating disorders look very different from person to person. People of all ages, genders, races, body sizes, and backgrounds can have eating disorders.
Thank you, Heather, for reminding us that we can’t really know if someone has an eating disorder just by looking at their appearance.
