Eating Disorders Support Group: we don't have one and it's needed [View all]

Last edited Thu Jul 31, 2014, 07:16 PM - Edit history (2)

At least I think so. I don't have an eating disorder (besides needing to lose 20 pounds lol), but I know other DU'ers do.

Eating Disorders Support Group would include the following: Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, Binge eating disorder, Compulsive overeating, and anything else related. See this article.

If you're cool with this idea, please vote for it by responding to this thread. Thank you kindly.

Steve

ETA: The group needs a Statement of Purpose (SOP). Please see fizzgig's post for her ideas and post yours, please. I'm just helping the group get started, I don't need to be a host.
