To those people who are suffering from eating disorder, I want you to know that you are not alone. It seems like the situation is pretty difficult, but you need to trust the health experts on this one. First, we have to admit that there is something wrong in our system. It is important that we acknowledge the problem so that it will be addressed as soon as possible. We also need to know that this can be treated only if we want to. The desire should start from you.
