Anorexia Facts:
An estimated 10 to 15 %
of people with anorexia
die from self-starvation
or suicide. Anorexics live
(and sometimes die) for
unattainable thinness.
Anorexia is a life of losing
"five more pounds." If
there were a "perfect weight,"
it would be zero.

Binge Eating Facts:
Americans spend $36 billion annually
on diet products, yet 95% of people
who diet gain back their weight-and
often surpass their previous high
weight. We live in a culture that, on
the one hand, supports a sedentary,
fast food/high-fat food lifestyle,
yet, on the other hand, tells us that
we have to be thin to be acceptable.
